"3 Jan. 15 Top scientists were made very nervous when they got up before secondary school teachers to describe their work and to help in upgrading teaching. I promised him I would send a copy of "animal colation". It should go to the Joint Educational Adviser, Ministry of Education. Singh mentioned a man to see was A.C. Joshi (vice-chancellor) - Secondary Education. He is a botanist who is chairman of a committee which is in charge of text-books in general service. He is president of the Science Teachers Association in India. He lives in Chandigarh, 140 miles away so I'm afraid will miss him. Sent 16mm film rolls 5644 & 5664 to Larry Dawson for processing. Jan. 16 Today I had an appointment with Dr. G.K. Athalye, 132 Kaka Nagar-11 Phone 7-43-16. He is in charge of the National Institute of Audio-visual Education, Indraprasth Estate 1, Ring Rd., Delhi. The Institute is located near the World Health Headquarters. My taxi driver turned out not to know the way and I was 15 minutes late. Athalye had gone. Instead I talked to R.B. Lal, Technical Officer. He turned out to be a gold mine of information. Lal is a slender young man in his early 20s, perhaps. He spoke fluently and at length on the subject of Indian education.
