Know about the poet
Praveen Kumar, a bilingual poet, born in Manga-
luru, has more than three decades of government
service at senior levels. As a poet of twelve pub-
lished collections and as an author of five volumes
on matters of governance and administration, he
is a familiar face in Indian intellectual circuits.

Stemming from his varied academic back-
ground, are the lively far-ranging interests that have impelled
him to write on subjects as diverse as matters of public interest
and poetry, striking a perfect balance between the pursuance of
vocation and avocation.
He has been a regular contributor to many national dailies, peri-
odicals and journals. His articles have been extremely popular
and often sensational by their innovative, unorthodox thoughts.
His published works include ‘Golden Wonder’, ‘Love and
Pride’, ‘Inside India’, ‘Policing the Police’, ‘Unknown Horizon’,
‘Policing for the New Age’, ‘Portraits of Passion’, ‘Simply Yours’,
‘Indian Police’. His published works in Kannada are ‘Bhavana’,
‘Ananya’ and ‘Priya Lavanya’, ‘Tapasvini’ and ‘Divya Belaku’.
