AIR's photo gallery makes waves & receives overwhelming response from school and college students


26th oct


HUBLI: BD Nemagouda struggled to get his students to connect with the works of Kannada poets Kuvempu and Bendre. The teacher of a government primary school in Chimmad village in Bagalkot district then hit upon the idea of taking them on a journey through the lives of the litterateurs. Mere anecdotes, he knew, wouldn't suffice; the students needed to have glimpses of chapters of their lives. Nemagouda did the next best thing to turning back the clock. He took them to All India Radio's (AIR) unit in Dharwad, which boasts of a permanent gallery - Banuliya Chitrabhitti - of nearly 100 black and white, and 12 colour rare photographs of eminent personalities from the fields of literature, music and art who visited or performed there over the last 60 years.
