A BBC World programme that recently aired during the run-up to the India-Pakistan ”07 60th anniversary. My school, Rewachand Bhojwani Academy, is one of the two schools featured.

“This programme focuses on Bhojwani Academy, an alternative school catering to Pune’s more liberal middle class families.”

A message posted on the school site:

RBA and Pune featured on BBC

Yes, RBA is on the air! We have been validated by no less than BBC. As is well known, 5 directors from Lion TV UK spent the whole year in Pune last year to cover everything that happens in a typical school year in India. Well here we are then… on International TV, getting e-mails and telephone calls from everywhere, telling us how much everyone appreciates the work of RBA.

We are not of course about to rest on our laurels. The challenges continue, and our persistent effort to meet them do as well.

INDIAN SCHOOL will be available to Indian viewers from 3rd August on BBC WORLD.

Do visit the Open University site to know more about INDIAN SCHOOL.

My friend Jon Lachonis who writes for BuddyTV interviewed me for an article about pre-air TV show leaks on BitTorrent. The piece is about how the availability of pre-air shows to the average viewer is taking control away from professional critics.
