THE RELEASE OF BI-MONTHLY PERIODICAL- 'THE ALPHA STORIES' - 16 JUNE 2011


'The Alpha Stories' is a bi-monthly periodical from and about the defence forces, the inaugural issue of which will be released on 16 June at the India International Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi-110003. It is a unique venture initiated by an Army officer's wife, who strongly feels that every uniform, be it of Army, Navy or Air Force, has a story behind it, and The Alpha Stories wishes to tell it all.That apart, the way aberrations and defaults are being highlighted today, the unsung heroes, too, need to be celebrated in order to maintain a healthy equilibrium. Such is the vision of 'The Alpha Stories'. A part of its revenue proceeds will be given towards the cause of its 'Vir Naris' and other charitable projects.

The release function will be followed by a panel discussion. The panelists, consisting of authors, media persons, retired defence personnel and academicians, will discuss the need to present the "uniform" perspective to the fellow countrymen, apart from traditions and customs prevalent in the Armed Forces, the role of media in building the public perception about the armed forces, and other topics of general interest.

The panelists for the function will be Maj Gen Ian Cardozo, Maj Gen RK Arora, Col Anil Shorey, Dr Subarno Chattarji and Maroof Raza
