SSBN High School to reopen as ‘aided’ institute
The Hindu
All 406 Telugu medium students, who joined other schools, will be sent back to SSBN, says DEO
Agreeing to the demands made by students and union leaders, Anantapur District Education Officer K. Samuel on Monday said that the Sri Sai Baba National(SSBN) High School will be reopened from Tuesday.
The development comes after the school management gave a letter to the DEO to allow them to continue to run the school as an ‘aided’ school and transfer the 11 teachers, who were surrendered to government services, back to the SSBN.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
