  • Are You Ready For The Next Challenge?
  • Children from all over the UK and our British Council library networks in India will be flocking to their local libraries to take part in a special reading challenge Reading Mission – and this is one top secret mission they’ll all choose to accept!
  • The Reading Mission is a programme to encourage the habit of reading among Young Learners between the ages 5 to 14 years. It challenges children to read six or more books of their own choice from the carefully chosen list of books and become special Reading Agents. The special agent receives a uniquely designed metallic special agent attaché case like folder which open up to reveal its top secret content and explains how the mission works to the children who sign up for the challenge. They discover three missions that will test their powers of observation, their ingenuity and their logic with specially-devised activities. Parts of the mission are explained in code so agents can use the code-buster included in their pack. But cracking codes and solving puzzles is just one aspect of the dual mission – the agents have to sign up to read books, keep track of their reading, write reviews, and spread the word about how good books are using special ‘top secret’ messages!
  • To encourage agents to complete their challenge, there will be Mission Accomplished medals and certificates to be distributed. By completing their mission, children have a genuine sense of achievement associated with the library. Last year, more than 600,000 children the world over took part in The Reading Voyage, and over 300,000 read six or more books.

  • Event : ‘Nehru's Delhi - post Independence architecture in Delhi’ a talk by K.T. Ravindran - 26th September, 2006
  • Time : 6.30 pm
  • More Info : The walled city of Shahjahanabad was built for a few hundred thousand people as was Lutyens Imperial Delhi to reflect British political power. Independent India’s capital , Delhi suffered an influx of refugees from West Pakistan that almost tripled its population within 10 years. The problems faced for housing this influx was the problem faced by the new government. As an emergency measure some settlements came up at the site of refugee camps - Lajpat Nagar and others clustered around existing villages , notably Hauz Khas and were gradually absorbed in their midst. Institutional architecture also faced challenges requiring a vocabulary that would be sufficiently indigenous and yet dovetail with New Delhi’s British buildings. The Supreme Court (1952), Krishi and Udyog Bhawans (1957), Vigyan Bhawan (1962).
  • Through Nehru's project of modernity and his vision grew Delhi's new symbols of democratized power and an architecture that spoke a modernized yet Indian language. The multiple cross-border affiliations and moralized political stances of the new democracy drove the production of the city in many layers. In the Fifties and the Sixties, an entirely new Nehruvian Delhi was added to the pre independence Delhi that simultaneously echoed the romanticized vision of a socialist India and prevalent international trends in contemporary urbanism.
  • K.T Ravindran outlines this evening the finer nuances of Nehru's urban vision and how it affected the cultural landscape of Delhi.
  • K.T. Ravindran is Professor of Urban Design and the Dean of The School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi. He is active in many public forums, has written numerous articles and books and is a regular contributor to the media on urban issues in Delhi.
