The Indian Postal Department released a stamp of Noted Writer Kranti Trivedi on Oct 29, 2010
Author of over 30 Hindi titles, Kranti Trivedi was one of the most prolific Hindi language writers of the past century.

Simplicity of language, easy flow and contextual relevance of the subject matter in her writings were evident in stories published in popular Hindi magazines such as Saptahik Hindustan, Dharmyug, Kadambani, Navneet, Sarika, etc. Her most successful and popular story titled 'Phoolon Ko Kya Ho Gaya' has established its separate identity as being one of the first ones to be included in the manifestation programme of the internet. Propagation of Hindi and issues relating to women were the two corner stones of all her writings.

The first six novels of Smt. Kranti Trivedi have proved to be milestones in creating interest in Hindi and as well as propagating Hindi literature. Later in mythological novels, she highlighted the varied emotions of a woman. 'Shagun Pakshi,' 'Krishna Paksha,' 'Amrit Ghat,' Mohbhang,' 'Bun Bund Amrit,' and 'Aathvan Janma' are her powerful social novels in which the problems of women have been raised with great empathy. During her lifetime, she brought out more than 40 books and left behind five unpublished manuscripts. One such unpublished manuscript, 'Lata aur Vriksha,' was recently published and released by Chief Minister of Delhi on October 29, 2010. Prior to that, another unpublished manuscript, 'Muskarati Ladki,' was published and realeased in Lucknow by the Governor of UP.

The story 'Phoolon Ka Sapna' is a story of redressal of the issues related to caste discrimination. In the novel 'Ashesh,' the role of Zamindars in teh freedom movement has been adduced. In 'Agam' clashes between eastern and western cultures have been described emphasizing harmony being established between these two cultures. The novel 'Main ur Mera Samay' is a biography of her father Pt. Ravi Shankar Shukla told in first person. 'Atishikshan' is a compilation of poems infused with spontaneous feelings. 'Patte ki Nav,' 'Mithee Boli,' 'Peeli Haveli,' and 'Kut KutChuha,' Nanhe Jasoos' are her popular stories for the children. While being natural, simple, interesting and touching, all her works contain valuable message for humanity.

Smt. Kranti Trivedi has been honored with many awards like Hindi Sevi Samman for the year 2002 and she was conferred "Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhayaya Puruskar" for 2002 by Uttar Pradesh Sansthan of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. She was also awarded 'Rashtriya Hindi Sewa Millenium Samman' by UNESCO and 'Nari Lekhan Puruskar' by Rashtra Bhasha Prachar Samiti of the Government of Madhya Pradesh. In 2010 the Indian government issued a commemorative stamp in her honor.

India Stamps 2010 : Cathedral And John Connon School

A Choir School, established with the primary objective of providing choristers for the St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai  the first Anglican Church in Mumbai was founded in October,1875. Meanwhile The Bombay Scottish Education Society was founded in 1866. The society put up a beautiful building on the Esplanade, and named it for Mr John Connon (then Chief Registrar of Bombay).

In 1878 a high school in Byculla, set up by the Bombay Diocesan Society, was merged with the Choir School to form the Cathedral High School. The present Senior School building, a majestic blend of Indian and Gothic architecture, was erected in 1896. A girls' school had been started in 1880.

Finally, in 1922, in a public meeting held at the Town Hall (the present Asiatic Society of Bombay library), a suggestion was put forward by the principal of the Cathedral Boys' School for the Cathedral Schools and the Scottish School to work together, instead of competing. The idea was well-received, and thus the Anglo-Scottish Education Society was conceived. The schools were re-organized into the Cathedral Boys' School, the Cathedral Girls' School, and the John Connon School.

In the 1960s co-education was still viewed with trepidation, and when in 1965, the Principal, Rev. Ridding, stated that the only way to solve the financial and logistical problems of the school was to make it co-educational, some people felt so strongly about it that they went to court to thwart the school's plans. Justice Lentin, a man famous for his courageous judgments, pronounced that the school had every right to merge if it so desired. The merger proceeded smoothly.

Today the old boys' school is the Senior School; the old girls' school is the Middle School; and the John Connon School is the Junior School. The Infant School, located at Malabar Hill, was set up in 1965.

Now Cathedral has also opened its residential branch in Lonavala, The Cathedral Vidya School.
