He also visited Bal Batika, the pre-primary classes at the Primary School in Jarada where he taught numerical concepts to the students. Vasan, who was on inspection duty, taught basic English grammar and he also interacted with the students and requested some of them to read out from English textbooks to assess their pronunciation. "I felt very happy as most of the students gave correct answers," Vasan said. He instructed the teachers to focus on mathematics and English for students of Classes 6 and 7 to achieve good results in the Class 10 annual exams in the future. "The students were very excited to see the collector, who taught them for more than half an hour," Laxman Charan Soren, block development officer (Patrapur), said. Out of a total strength of 85, approximately 70 students from Classes 1 to 8 were present during his visit. "We asked the teachers to try to determine the exact reason behind the students' absence," Soren added. The collector also made a surprise visit to Bal Batika within the same block. He taught the students about numbers and instructed teachers to adopt 'joyful teaching' methods to attract children to attend school and foster their interest in reading. He directed the district education officer to conduct surprise visits to schools and take action against teachers who were absent without prior permission or a leave application.

Exhibition of vintage cameras and equipment in Bengaluru on world photography day
Bengaluru: Vintage cameras, photography equipment, film posters and other antique items linked to photography, with the oldest dating back to 1890, were displayed at Bangalore City Institute to mark the World Photography Day . The oldest equipment on display was a 'cut-film' from 1890. The single film, in a wooden frame bigger than a postcard, was preserved carefully before and after exposure and then developed. A camera flash that could be used just once was also on display along with many 80-year-old film posters. "From box cameras that had no room for adjustment, to twin-lens reflex cameras, the technology has come a long way," said LN Murthy, the collector of these vintage items, as he highlighted the evolution of photo-films and cameras. He also pointed out that the flash used in the early days could be used only once, as the bulb exploded. Electronic flash with power cables came about later.

"It is a fact that today's smartphone cameras are both convenient and technologically sophisticated," he said as he recollected how old-timers would struggle with lighting and other conditions to click a good photograph. Renowned Kannada film director P Sheshadri felicitated 15 photographers, including senior photojournalists, film photographers, and wildlife photographers, on the occasion.
