Hi All

 

I would like to share a small good news with you. I received Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award for Uncovering India Invisible on 12th April 2006. The Prime minister had given away the award

 

As some of you know i have visited Dandakaranya in March 2005 and stayed with Maoist squads for about 15 days and captured the workings of India's first "Liberated Zone in making" where the Maoists run Revolutionary People's Government.

 

After coming back i wrote an article in Andhra Jyothy Sunday supplement which  received a state level DNF best journalist award. The same artcle has now won RNG award. The Indian Express is publishing the story again as it's next Sunday Magazine cover.

 

The video I brought was taken by CNN-IBN for one of their big stories titled 'Red Corridor". And I am planning to do a full fledged documentary on Janathana Sarkar soon.

Here is the link to the award news
