    Report of Activities 2007-08 C

    28 Eklavya: Report of Activities 2007-08 C. Publication Programme C.1 Development and Editorial C.1.1 Chakmak Chakmak is a magazine for children (8 to 14 years) and has been published since 1985. Over the years Chakmak has helped to vastly diversify and enrich children’s literature in Hindi, and to induce leading writers and illustrators to write and illustrate for children. Above all, it has had a great success in motivating the children themselves to write, draw and get published. However, we had been feeling for some time that it had fallen into a stereotype and needed to break out of it. So this year Chakmak took a break for about seven months (April to October) and the time was used to reconceptualise and redesign it so as to give it a contemporary look and feel. A large number of people, both experts on children’s literature and ordinary readers, reviewed Chakmak and helped to mould the direction of change. A two-day review workshop was held involving senior litterateurs, science writers, designers etc. It was noted in this workshop that Chakmak had Eklavya: Report of Activities 2007-08 29 always carried material which tried to make children more sensitive towards their environment, enhanced their creativity, and developed an analytic vision in them. The challenge was to also make it appropriate, attractive and meaningful for today’s readers. It was strongly recommended that Chakmak should have a new look, both in terms of content and design. The need for more original writing presented in an attractive fashion, and diversity in content was greatly emphasized.

Morsi ordered the country’s former minister of water resources and irrigation, Kandil to form a new government. Kandil, holds an engineering degree from Cairo University in the year 1984 and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina in the year 1993. Kandil will be the first Egyptian prime minister to wear a beard, which is a sure sign of change in the country. A number of more experienced names were suggested for the prestigious role, but Morsi chose Kandil, a relatively lesser-known face as the Prime Minister of the country, this could be because he wanted someone unlikely to threaten or overshadow him.
