Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-m ost populous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of In dia because of its position as nation's leading Information technology (IT) expo rter.[7][8][9] Located at a height of over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above sea level, Bangalore is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year.[10] The city i s amongst the top ten preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world.[11] A succession of South Indian dynasties, the Western Gangas, the Cholas, and the Hoysalas ruled the present region of Bangalore until in 1537 CE, Kempé Gowda a feu datory ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern Bangalore. Following transitory occupation by the Ma rathas and Mughals, the city remained under the Mysore Kingdom.

But the place appealed to Anish Victor, a 37-year-old Indian theater director. The decrepit bungalow was just up the road from a string of neon-lit pubs in downtown Bangalore, a few blocks away from the hulking skeleton of a metro line under construction. Mr. Victor and his cast decided it would be an excellent spot to stage "Middle of Somewhere," a play about memory and urban flux—and they persuaded the property owner to unlock the gate. "We were looking for a space in transition," the director explains. "We just got lucky." They cleared away the trash (and some dead rats), leveled the ground, and put out the word via email. In late February, a curious audience squeezed in and the show began its three-performance run, with three young actresses prancing on wooden scaffolding under a bright moon. Dialogue swerved between English and Kannada, a local language. Film footage of Bangalore flashed on a side wall, and props ranged from hand-chimes to billowing black garbage bags.

    Till the change is for real Infosys Foundation Report 2015-16 Till the change is for real What is it like when a boy living on a railway platform sees the inside of a classroom for the first time? Or when a remote village that has lived all its life without electricity discovers solar power? What does it mean for a fishing community devastated by cyclone when it gets a chance to rebuild its life and livelihood? How does collective empathy give birth to the world’s largest midday meal program? What inspires scores of young, successful professionals to take a break from their careers to teach underprivileged children? Each question above holds the key to a story – a story of positive change, affecting the lives of individuals and communities. We at the Infosys Foundation started our journey twenty long years ago, and since then, we have come across many extraordinary stories and experiences along the way which have reinforced our faith in compassion and humanity.
