Taking things forward

With Daniel Smith at The Taj Chambers
September 17, 2013: The last weekend wasn't a very busy one. I went to Kolkata Zoo on Friday to finalise the formalities of adopting the yet-to-be-named youngest Royal Bengal tigress as well as to discuss other possibilities of Public Private Partnership with the Alipore Zoological Gardens.
I had a long meeting with the director and the assistant director and we have discussed quite a few things. Ms Baishali Dalmia, who has adopted the only Jaguar at the Kolkata zoo, was there with me.
Monday, September 16, evening Prabha Khaitan Foundation along with the British Council hosted a small get-together at The Taj Chambers for Daniel Smith who is a British film / documentary teacher who runs Creative Filmmaking Workshops in Schools or First Light in the Classroom programmes.
With Anandi Ghosh and Daniel
Daniel was in Kolkata to conduct a two-day workshop with Ms Anandi Ghose to teach film making to 14 to 20 years age group students.
The workshop was supported by one of our other projects Education For All.
I am in touch with the British Council if some of these skilled teachers can also be taken to Jaipur so that the students can be benefit from the skill-development projects.
