The Bala Magazine was the first children’s magazine printed in Telugu by Radio Annayya and Radio Akkayya. The magazine was first published in 1945 and ran monthly editions until  1957. Original editions of the magazine (where available) have been scanned and are now available to download for free.

Many people have contributed towards publishing the Bala magazine. While we do not have the exhaustive list of all contributors we would like to acknowledge their involvements and contribution towards promoting children’s literature on behalf of Andhra Balananda Sangham.
