N. Kameswari (Akkayya) and Sri. N. Raghava Rao (Annayya) used to gather children around them, to train them for All India Radio Children's programmes.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Later they thought that children should have an avenue to exhibit their talent on the stage as well. Being writers of children\u2019s literature themselves, they found it easy to put on shows of playlets, musical plays, songs and mono action. These were the beginnings of Andhra Balananda Sangham.<\/p>\n<p>Years rolled by and with the end of the World War II, things brightened up. More and more children and parents from various parts of the city took interest in the activities of Balanandam.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a7915e6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a7915e6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-682af71\" data-id=\"682af71\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e647165 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e647165\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.14.0 - 26-06-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-text-editor.elementor-drop-cap-view-stacked .elementor-drop-cap{background-color:#69727d;color:#fff}.elementor-widget-text-editor.elementor-drop-cap-view-framed .elementor-drop-cap{color:#69727d;border:3px solid;background-color:transparent}.elementor-widget-text-editor:not(.elementor-drop-cap-view-default) .elementor-drop-cap{margin-top:8px}.elementor-widget-text-editor:not(.elementor-drop-cap-view-default) .elementor-drop-cap-letter{width:1em;height:1em}.elementor-widget-text-editor .elementor-drop-cap{float:left;text-align:center;line-height:1;font-size:50px}.elementor-widget-text-editor .elementor-drop-cap-letter{display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<p>Encouraged by this, the founders thought that it worthwhile to formalize this gathering and organize the traditional Dasara Dolls exhibition and conduct cultural shows. That was the beginning of the Children\u2019s theatre group called <strong>Balanandam<\/strong>, meaning happiness for children.<\/p><p>Around this time appeared \u201c<strong>Bala\u201d<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>the very first children\u2019s magazine in Telugu<\/strong>, which later became an inspiration to other magazines like \u2018Chandamama\u201d. Our founders being the editors and publishers of &#8216;Bala&#8217;, allotted a few pages in the magazine to the activities of Balanandam children. This publicity helped the readers to start similar children\u2019s clubs in Andhra Desam. Balanandam rapidly became a household name.<\/p><p>Balanandam activities at Madras (Chennai) created a lot of interest and started growing by leaps and bounds. Then our founders, along with other interested parents, thought it important to give the organization a firm basis and constitute a committee of management. Thus they formalized the association and registered it under the name of\u00a0<strong>Andhra Balananda Sangham<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Children\u2019s theatre activities sponsored by our sangham were considered to be of a high calibre. Many leading citizens, film producers and directors have associated themselves with the organization. They found it handy to utilize the talent among our child members and it is no exaggeration to say that every single child artist in films those days was sourced through Balanandam. Our thanks are particularly to producers, Sri. Nagayya, Smt. Bhanumathi Ramakrishna, Sri. B.N. Reddy, Sri. Nagireddy and Sri. Chakrapani, Sri. K.V. Reddy, Sri. D.L. Narayana, Sri. D. Madhusudana Rao, Dr. Raja Rao to name a few.<\/p><p><strong>Our special thanks to<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Sri. K.S. Prakash Rao<\/strong>\u00a0who was so impressed with the talent available here that he endevoured to produce the first full length feature film for children titled\u00a0<strong>\u2018BALANANDAM\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0The entire cast were children of Balanandam and the script was written by Annayya and Akkayya.<\/p><p>In 1952, the executive committee decided to focus public attention towards children\u2019s problems. To achieve this objective,\u00a0<strong>the first children\u2019s conference of its kind in South India<\/strong>\u00a0was organized in Madras. A number of child delegates from various parts of the state of Madras and Mysore attended the conference.<\/p><p>The Child Welfare panel of the Central Social Welfare Board with its chair person\u00a0Smt. Krishna Hatheesingh visited our organization in 1953 and paid glowing tribute to the work done by Balanandam. Our founder was invited to become a member of a panel that toured India to assess the needs of children.<\/p><p>The best recognition of the organisation&#8217;s services in the field of Child Welfare came from the Central Social Welfare board, New Delhi. The board gave Balanandam a grant to expand its activities. With that grant, Balanandam bought a projector and started a film club which was inaugurated by Sri. V.V. Giri, the then Minister of Labour.<\/p><p>With another grant of Rs.15, 000 from Central\u00a0Social Welfare Board, the organisation purchased a commercial van and named it\u00a0<strong>Balanandam.\u00a0<\/strong>This enabled the start of a Toy library and a mobile library with a large collection of books and toys for children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc6c299 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc6c299\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f9c6af1\" data-id=\"f9c6af1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ced08f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ced08f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/balanandam.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/story_2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-516\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balanandam.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/story_2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/balanandam.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/story_2-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-279c402\" data-id=\"279c402\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5be7c56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"5be7c56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-text_left\">\t\t\t\t<div class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the formation of the Andhra State with Kurnool as capital, Balanandam organized the\u00a0<strong>second children\u2019s conference in 1954<\/strong>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The conference was inaugurated by Sri.

It enabled various Balananda Sanghams in the state to come together, and formulate schemes for the development of children culturally and emotionally. As a pioneer institution, the sangham felt the need to give opportunity to rural units to meet together at a conference to discuss matters of interest of children.<\/p>\n<p>The third Telugu conference was held on the 1st to the 3rd of January, 1956 at Guntur. A local reception committee was formed with Justice Sri .Kanda Bhimshankaram, judge Andhra court as chairman. While the main conference was organized by Balandandam, the local Balananda Sangham assisted in making many of the arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Child delegates and child welfare workers from Chittor, Tiruttani, Narasapur, Eluru, Vizag, Madanpalli, Bangalore, Hindupur, Bapatla, Sattenpalli, Palakollu, Podur, Polamneru, Bandar, Vetapalem and Madras attended the conference. The Balanandam mobile Library van brought the exhibits from Madras. A special bogie brought over 100 children from Madras to Guntur. More than 6000 child delegates participated.<\/p>\n<p>Many important resolutions were passed at the conference regarding the representation of various affiliated units in the Executive committee of the Sangham. A provincial organizer was appointed to organize the units. The revenue Minister of Andhra has assured solid support, and he promised to take steps to allot land in each town or village for the establishment of Balananda Sanghams.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d8f69c6 elementor-section-boxed
