New
lease of life for submerged temples?
by Roshni Johar
ON
the Chandigarh-Manali road (National Highway 21) lies Bilaspur, a town
on the banks of the Gobind Sagar. Under
this lake’s rippling waters, lie submerged numerous ancient temples of
old Bilaspur. Ravaged by time and covered with silt, they have been
under water since 1959-60, when famed American Harvey Sloom built Bhakra
Dam.
Colourful,
grim strokes

THE
immortality of any work of art lies essentially in its relevance to
society. And though each artist has his own way of handling his works,
the purpose of art remains the same — that of stating the truth in all
its hues. While the purpose of real art is known, not many artists are
able to achieve this objective.
"Health for all by 2000 AD"
A plan that
failed to deliver
by R.N. Malik
THE
World Health Organisation (WHO) launched a highly publicised and
ambitious health programme in 1980. The slogan of this programme was
very catchy: "Health for all by the year 2000 AD" A lot of
publicity material was prepared and distributed. The programme was
ratified and pledged by member nations of WHO in 1981.
