...by the way
Ajit Balaji Joshi, a 2003-batch IAS officer of the
Haryana cadre and Deputy Commissioner, Jind, is a dynamic officer. A native of
Veet in Karmala taluka, Solapur, Maharashtra, he always does something
exceptional and inspiring. When he was posted as DC, Jhajjar, he saw many
beautiful migratory birds at the Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary in his district.
Joshi thought of a pocket-size book on 287 species of beautiful birds. He has
brought out the excellently planned and designed 156-page book, titled Birds of
Bhindawas, on migratory birds. It was a tough task to bring out such a
pictorial and detailed book on the birds; it required comprehensive knowledge
of the subject. So Joshi roped in the Ela Foundation of Pune to complete this
tough and complicated job. The pictorial book required good photographers, so
Ela Foundation assigned the job to 19 experienced photographers to shoot 20
threatened bird species and 33 species endemic to South Asia. Readers will be
delighted to see the beautiful and rare rosy pipit, blue-cheeked bee-eater, and
oriental turtle dove along with many other birds in the book. The Governor of
Haryana, Kaptan Singh Solanki, Nitin Gadkari and Prakash Javadekar released the
book with much fanfare in Delhi. g
