- Delivered lectures in several Schools and Junior colleges for scientific motivation in students. Published a few articles in Science Reporter ((CSIR publication) and Science and culture, and a couple of articles in regional language in local daily news papers with an intention of popularization of Science among public. With the same motivation I made the following educational documentary films for India Television network (New Delhi) and University Grants Commission (UGC, New Delhi).
- Research, script and Scientific direction was provided to a Scientific documentary film “Insects-the Marvel of Nature”, which was telecasted on the Indian National Television Network (this film won best educational documentary award from Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in 1987).
- Script and Scientific supervision was provided to the films, “World of Insects”, Part-1 and Part-2, for the educational mass media of University Grants Commission (India) on their request.
- "Bugs world" is under preparation.
