The State government has postponed the YSR Lifetime Achievement, YSR Achievement Awards Ceremony, scheduled for August 13, indefinitely, in view of COVID-19 protocol and the Medical and Health Department’s directives that there should be no gathering exceeding 150. As some of the awardees are elderly persons, the government postponed the event, keeping their age and COVID-19 protocol in view. The awards function is likely to be held in October or November.More Related News
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).
