Annual events such as ‘Precision Guppa’ , ‘Precision Sangeet Mahotsava’, and Solapur International Film Festival are dedicated to the enrichment of art & culture in our communities. These events are proudly hosted by Precision Foundation for making Solapur and the nearby areas culturally rich.
Precision Vachan Abhiyan
A new initiative ’Precision Vachan Abhiyan’ was started with a bang on July 6, 2024.
The objective of this initiative is to bring together the literature enthusiasts from various Book Clubs operating in the city and also to inspire more and more people to join this movement of reading books.
The advent of TV and excessive use of mobiles has drifted children and elders away from books alike. Precision has been working on developing reading habit in school children with its ‘Password’ project for the last 3 years benefitting 1000 students. The Foundation now aims at bringing the adult population of Solapur to read more books and exposing them to literature in different languages.
This Reading Campaign was launched on Saturday, July 6, 2024 with a Marathi book ‘Walking on the Edge’ by Prasad Nikte. Dr. Sumedha Kandalgaonkar presented the book by reading a few passages (Abhi Vachan) this was followed by an interview with the author Prasad Nikte from Thane who is a trekker & now a writer. He narrated the experiences and highlights of his arduous journey of more than a thousand kilometers on foot in the Sahydris. He walked from Bharad in the Satpuda Mountain range to Chorla, the southern tip of the Sahyadri Mountains over 75 days. The audience had a wonderful interaction with Mr. Nikate in the Q&A session.
The book along with other publications of ‘Sam kaleen publications & Suvidya publications were made available at the venue, Indian Medical Association, Solapur.
We will be inviting authors, poets from all over the state to participate in this initiative and will organize a meet on the first Saturday of every month.
