Appeal to PM Modi to Establish National Organisation for Empowerment of Women in Agriculture

JR Choudhary — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:13:42 +0530

Pune : On the occasion of World Mother’s Day, an appeal was made to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to establish a national organisation dedicated to the empowerment of women in agriculture. The appeal was submitted via email by the “Bharat Krishi Nari Samridhi Sangh” and the “Krishi Nari Abhiyan Samiti” for the welfare and upliftment of women farmers, women agricultural labourers, women fruit and vegetable vendors, and women engaged in food processing and agro-based industries. The memorandum urged the government to provide special recognition, dignity and independent national-level schemes for women under the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 through the message “Krishi Nari — Samridhi Nari.”

The concept of the initiative was proposed by Raghunath Yemul. Through “My Kisan Mart,” farmers and consumers have been directly connected for the last 12 years. During interactions with thousands of farmers, the challenges faced by women farmers, women agricultural labourers and women vendors selling fruits and vegetables came to the forefront. He stressed the need for a nationwide organised movement to strengthen rural women who still struggle for market access, fair pricing, training and financial support.

The guiding force behind the “Bharat Krishi Nari Samridhi Sangh” and “Krishi Nari Abhiyan Samiti” is Vidyabhushan Dr. Prashant Pagare. The committee also includes Rashmi Maurya, former APMC administrator B. J. Deshmukh, Kamini Balasaheb Deshmukh, Varsha Paigwar and Sushila Singh.

According to the memorandum, India has more than 3.6 crore women cultivators and over 6 crore women agricultural labourers. More than 10 crore women are directly connected with agriculture through dairy, animal husbandry, horticulture and food processing sectors. The committee stated that over 75 percent of working rural women are engaged in agriculture and women contribute nearly 60 to 80 percent of the country’s food production. However, only 13.9 percent of women own agricultural land.

The committee has proposed organising one crore women farmers over the next five years, establishing 10 lakh women-led agro-based micro enterprises, connecting self-help groups with farm-to-market supply chains, and creating market access through digital platforms. The proposal also includes skill development in organic farming and food processing, establishment of “Krishi Nari Mandals” across states, district-level women agricultural leadership centres, and a dedicated digital app providing government schemes, market prices, weather updates and agricultural guidance.

The memorandum further proposed healthcare, maternity, nutrition and insurance support for women farmers, microfinance assistance, Mudra loans, awareness regarding land rights and Agri-Startup opportunities for young women in the agricultural sector.

According to the committee, the initiative could significantly increase the income of rural women, create employment opportunities, strengthen the Agri-MSME sector and accelerate the vision of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Viksit Bharat 2047.” The memorandum stated that true national prosperity would only be possible when women farmers and women associated with agriculture receive dignity, identity and economic self-reliance.

Genius30 Releases 'Raijor Raai' Mega-Survey: Data from 50,000+ Citizens for upcoming Assam Polls

JR Choudhary — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:26:29 +0530

GUWAHATI, ASSAM — March 30, 2026 : Genius30, an independent think-tank and data-analytics group, has officially released the comprehensive findings of its highly anticipated "Raijor Raai - The People’s Verdict" pre-poll survey. Leveraging a massive, tech-driven sample size of over 50,000+ verified respondents across all 126 assembly constituencies, the extensive data audit projects a decisive mandate for the BJP-led NDA alliance in the upcoming Assam elections.

A Tech-Driven Methodology

Unlike traditional political surveys that rely on small, manual field reporting, the Raijor Raai project was executed as a large-scale engineering operation. Spearheaded by a core group of 30 engineers, Genius30 utilized advanced telephonic polling and digital auditing infrastructure to capture raw, unfiltered sentiment directly from the grassroots.

By scaling the data collection to over 50,000 citizens across Upper, Lower, and Middle Assam, the team bypassed standard polling biases to ensure a highly accurate mathematical reflection of the state's current political mood. The methodology heavily factored in shifting demographics, particularly the decisive youth and Gen Z voter blocks who are increasingly prioritizing economic stability, technological upskilling, and transparent governance over historical political rhetoric.

Key Findings of the Comprehensive Survey:

Seat Projections (126 Seats): The BJP is projected to emerge as the single largest party, securing between 70 to 79 seats. The Congress follows with a projected 24 to 29 seats. Regional allies AGP (8-9 seats) and BPF (7-8 seats) maintain crucial holds, pushing the NDA alliance comfortably past the 64-seat majority mark.

Vote Share: The data indicates a strong consolidation, with the BJP commanding an estimated 40.2% vote share, and the Congress capturing 36.8%.

Chief Ministerial Preference: Incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma remains the top choice for the state's leadership, securing 37% of the public preference. Gaurav Gogoi of the Congress emerged as the principal challenger with 25% backing.

Top Government Achievements: When asked to identify the biggest successes of the current government, citizens overwhelmingly pointed to tangible, on-the-ground progress. Infrastructure and Road Connectivity took the top spot at 26%, followed closely by Transparent Govt Employment at 23%. Other key performance indicators included Clearing Encroachments (18%), Governance (17%), and Ease of Doing Business (16%).

"What this data clearly shows is a fundamental shift in how the Assamese electorate, particularly the younger generation, is making its choices," stated Nitesh Pandey, Tech Entrepreneur and Co-lead of Genius30. "We are seeing a demographic that is highly focused on practical, day-to-day realities. They are actively backing narratives built around transparent recruitment, physical infrastructure, and assertive administrative leadership. This massive 50,000+ dataset confirms that the mandate is leaning heavily toward data-driven, delivery-focused governance."

"By treating this statewide survey as an engineering challenge rather than just a media exercise, we've bypassed the noise to provide an unfiltered, mathematical reality of the ground situation," added Rajat Agnihotri, Co-lead of Genius30.

Based in Guwahati, Genius30 is an independent collective of 30 engineers and data professionals dedicated to bringing technological transparency to political analytics and public policy. Combining extensive backgrounds in tech entrepreneurship, large-scale project development, and digital education, the group focuses on executing data-driven grassroots audits that capture the authentic voice of the people.

Indian Overseas Congress Australia Engages in Strategic Dialogue with Sam Pitroda on Diaspora Outreach and Youth Participation

JR Choudhary — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:19:56 +0530

Sydney, Australia | March 24, 2026 : The Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Australia convened a significant virtual meeting on Saturday, March 21, 2026, with Sam Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, to deliberate on key political developments, diaspora engagement, and future strategies for strengthening the organisation’s outreach.

The meeting was led by Gurjinder Singh Gavy, President of the Indian Overseas Youth Congress (IOYC) Australia, in coordination with the President of IOC, Manoj Sheoran, and saw active participation from members of the Indian diaspora across various Australian cities.

During the session, Pitroda shared his perspectives on the evolving political landscape in India, with particular reference to the upcoming Kerala elections and the broader national vision shaping the country’s socio-political discourse. He highlighted the importance of sustained youth engagement, global Indian participation, and strengthening democratic values through inclusive political processes.

A key highlight of the meeting was the discussion around the proposed visit of Rahul Gandhi to Australia, which participants described as a potential landmark moment for the Indian diaspora community. The leadership team explored engagement strategies and large-scale community outreach initiatives aimed at ensuring meaningful participation during the anticipated visit.

The meeting also focused on several organisational priorities, including strengthening the structure and outreach of IOC Australia, increasing youth participation through IOYC Australia, expanding grassroots engagement within the Indian community, and building stronger connections between India and the global diaspora.

Speaking after the interaction, Gurjinder Singh Gavy said, “It was an honour to interact with Sam Pitroda. His vision and guidance are truly inspiring for all of us working towards empowering youth and strengthening the voice of the Indian diaspora in Australia. We remain committed to taking IOC Australia to new heights under his and Dr. Arathi Krishna’s leadership.”

The discussion concluded with a shared commitment among participants to work collaboratively towards fostering a stronger, more connected, and progressive global Indian community.

Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi Calls for Radical Reform to Address the Pendency Crisis

JR Choudhary — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:29:42 +0530

New Delhi, 17 March, 2026 : At the inaugural session of the seminar on “Delivering Justice in Time: Global Practices and Indian Experiences”, jointly organised by O.P. Jindal Global University and the National Law University Delhi, Dr. Abhishek M. Singhvi, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India & Member of Parliament, while delivering the keynote address critiqued the high number of pendency of cases in the Indian Judiciary.

“It’s really a paradox that India, which has had the highest flights of jurisprudential excellence, the most sophisticated and nuanced doctrines of law, the most avant-garde concepts, the best and brightest in law both in the bar and at the bench with vibrant, pulsating new doctrines like the basic structure of the Indian constitution, where even a constitutional amendment can be unconstitutional, PILs and the concept of judicial review, we have the scourge of backlog of cases and legal pendency. Today we have near-abouts 4.7 to 5.5 crores cases in current arrears,” Dr Singhvi said.

“It is important to observe that 54% of all the pendency cases – and this is a figure from 2019 – were in five High Courts: UP, Punjab, Madras, Bombay and Rajasthan. We have reached a stage where we must concentrate, calibrate, and focus. As these figures vary, it has been seen that criminal matters constitute the overwhelming bulk. Many commissions have been appointed but we need radical and innovative steps to apply to arrears, pendency and backlog than to any other field,” he said. “At any point of time in our roughly 80-year-old history, one third of all High Court sanctioned posts and one fourth of the total district or lower judiciary posts remain vacant! We need new policy which is consistently implemented over a period of 5-7 years to see the results. To deal with the ABCD – the Access, Backlog, Cost and Delay issues – arising, the first is an obvious solution: appoint more judges.”

Dr Singhvi further elaborated and said, “You need to subject each court to a statistical analysis. Today we have the latest tools, latest tracks and methodologies. We must therefore insist on having multiple tracks in each court from the lowest district court, the lowest civil court to the High Courts. It’s extremely easy today to give that statistical profile only on three fronts: dependency of time, category of matter and other subcategories. Apply management techniques to keep abreast of current filings, for example, within a period of three to five months and separate tracks to deal with the old cases above 10 years and hopefully above 5 and 10 years. Have a holistic, curative and a preventive approach and be bold and unconventional. And last but not the least, bring about an attitudinal change.”

Regarding the vacancies on the bench, Dr. Singhvi asked why we do not appoint ad-hoc judges. “It is astonishing that a constitutional amendment which allows ad-hoc judges to be appointed has never been used in the High Court, perhaps with one or two exceptions,” he said. “In appointing ad-hoc judges to fill vacancies, you are using tried, tested and incumbent people. Furthermore, you get experienced and qualified retired judges who will be happy to be of service. At the same time, 62 is no retirement age in India even by medical science or global standards.”

Focusing on practical solutions, Dr Singhvi further added, “We are now blessed with the latest state-of-the-art Mediation Act in 2023. Mediation is the intermediate way of solving the problem, because we have this remarkable success of Lok Adalats. By my count in 2023, more than 20 crore cases were settled by Lok Adalats, though unfortunately it is limited to category like land acquisition to motor accidents etc. The ideal is for another category of petty civil and criminal offense which can be added to Lok Adalats. This can prevent the clogging of the justice system.”

“The other big failure is arbitration,” Dr Singhvi elucidated. “It was originally created as a bypass to prevent the clogging of legal arteries. Today, arbitration has become pre-litigation litigation! It is nothing but adding another limb to litigation. The need of the hour is mediation of conciliation. The Chief Justice of India recently gave a startling statistic: that India has only 13,000 trained mediators! We need 2.5 lakh mediators and he has himself started the process of identifying 1.68 crores mediators in the next 10 years which is a very welcome development. In the criminal justice system, given our prison population which is highest in the world, the percentage of undertrials is also highest. Many have served half of their maximum sentence and most of them are afflicted by one big crime: poverty. We must now start experimenting with the anklet system for certain kinds of crime. Given the technology available today, it allows an undertrial to be confined to a specific place with accuracy. There is no point shunting people who are undertrials into jail for years with no chance of redressal. Additionally, in the criminal justice system we need to strengthen the human infrastructure. A recent study has found that that one out of four justice system workers are missing. The justice system work includes the criminal hearing judge, the police and the prison staff. We need to ensure that people who are operating to deliver that justice are available as currently there are more than more than a third vacancies for supervisory staff. We need to have our entire thinking and thought process to change for what Mahatma Gandhi called the common man.”

Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University, lauded the incisive discourse by Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi and said, “We are grateful to Dr. Singhvi for his perceptive and insightful address which has given us all great solutions for an issue which is being faced by the judicial services. His ideas have laid a strong intellectual foundation and highlighted the urgent need to address judicial delays while preserving fairness, legitimacy and public confidence in the rule of law. They call for meaningful reform which requires institutional leadership, data-driven governance, technological innovation and sustained collaboration across the justice ecosystem.”

Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia Opens First Office in Sydney

JR Choudhary — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:29:42 +0530

Sydney, Australia : The Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia (IOYCA) has inaugurated its first official office in Sydney, marking a step towards expanding structured youth engagement and strengthening organisational presence within the Indian diaspora community in Australia.

The office, located at 11/593 Withers Road, Rouse Hill, NSW 2155, was inaugurated on Sunday, 8 March, by Manoj Sheoran, President of Indian Overseas Congress Australia, along with Gurjinder Singh Gavy, National President of Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia (IOYCA). The new facility is intended to function as a central coordination hub for youth-focused initiatives, leadership engagement, and community outreach programs.

With an emerging network of around 500 members across major Australian cities, IOYCA aims to expand its outreach through structured engagement with Indian youth, students, and the wider diaspora community. The organisation currently operates across key urban centres, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and plans to further strengthen its presence nationwide.

The Sydney office will serve as a platform to promote democratic values, youth leadership, and community service, while fostering stronger connections between the Indian diaspora and broader civic engagement initiatives.

Speaking on the occasion, Gurjinder Singh Gavy said, “The opening of this office represents an important milestone in creating organised platforms for youth participation and meaningful diaspora engagement.”

Over the next three months, IOYCA plans to organise youth membership drives, student interaction programs, cultural and community events, leadership discussions, and volunteer initiatives across Australian cities, with a focus on actively engaging young members of the Indian community.

IOYCA functions as the youth platform of the Indian Overseas Congress and draws ideological inspiration from the broader vision of the Indian National Congress leadership. The newly inaugurated Sydney office is expected to play a key role in facilitating coordination, member outreach, and the implementation of future youth-focused initiatives.

Further programs and expansion activities are expected to be announced in the coming months.

Latur Can Be the Congress Blueprint for Maharashtra’s Revival

JR Choudhary — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 13:40:14 +0530

At a time when the Indian National Congress is searching for oxygen in Maharashtra’s bruising political climate, Latur is not just a bright spot—it is a blueprint. The recent Zilla Parishad and municipal results did more than deliver numbers; they delivered proof of concept. In a state where the Congress struggled to stay relevant across most districts, Latur showed that the party can still win decisively when it gets the basics right: leadership, organisation, and delivery.

The numbers matter. Across 12 Zilla Parishads in the recently concluded polls, Congress managed to secure 59 seats statewide. Of these, a remarkable 23 came from Latur alone—making it the single largest contributor to the party’s tally. This wasn’t a narrow escape or a fragmented mandate; it was dominance. Add to that the Congress victory in the Latur Municipal Corporation, and you have a contiguous governance base—rural and urban—under one political command. In today’s politics, that kind of coherence is rare.

What makes Latur different? The easy answer is legacy—and legacy does matter. The shadow of Vilasrao Deshmukh still looms large over the district. For many voters, his tenure represented stability, dignity, and development delivered without noise. But to reduce Latur’s success to nostalgia alone would be lazy analysis. Legacy opened the door; organisation walked through it.

The current generation of leadership—most visibly Amit Deshmukh and Dhiraj Deshmukh—has translated inherited goodwill into modern political machinery. Booth-level discipline, early candidate finalisation, local issue ownership, and constant voter contact were not accidental choices; they were strategic decisions. While elsewhere the Congress often appeared episodic and reactive, in Latur it was present, predictable, and grounded.

There is a deeper economic foundation to this political durability—rooted in the cooperative revolution that Congress initiated 30–40 years ago. In Latur, that vision continues to take shape through the leadership of the Deshmukh family across two generations.

Institutions like the Manjara Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana and the Latur District Central Cooperative Bank reflect this legacy. Under the stewardship of the Deshmukhs, they sustain a rural circular economy linking credit, cultivation, processing, and employment. Farmers receive crop loans, grow sugarcane, supply it to the cooperative factory, earn income, repay credit, and reinvest locally—ensuring economic value stays within the district.

This enduring cycle has built generational trust and economic interdependence. In Latur, Congress is embedded not just in memory, but in livelihood structures shaped and sustained by the Deshmukh family.

This is precisely why Latur should be read not as an exception but as a template.

First, Latur proves that local governance still wins elections. Control of the municipal corporation allowed the Congress to show visible work—on civic services, local infrastructure, and grievance redressal—before asking for votes again in the ZP elections. Voters responded not to slogans, but to familiarity and performance. For a party frequently accused of being abstract and disconnected, this is a crucial lesson: power at the bottom rebuilds credibility at the top.

Second, Latur demonstrates the value of clear leadership centres. One of the Congress’s chronic problems in Maharashtra has been diffused authority—too many voices, too little accountability. In Latur, the chain of command is unambiguous. Cadres know who leads, candidates know who backs them, and voters know who to credit—or blame. That clarity breeds confidence, internally and externally.

Third, the district shows that identity politics need not be polarising to be effective. Latur’s politics is rooted in regional pride and social coalitions without aggressive ideological posturing. The Congress here did not try to out-shout its rivals; it out-organised them. In an era of high-decibel campaigning, Latur’s quieter, relational approach is not just refreshing—it is electorally potent.

Critics will argue that Latur is unique, that the Deshmukh legacy cannot be replicated elsewhere. They are half right—and entirely wrong. Names cannot be cloned, but methods can. The Congress does not need another Vilasrao Deshmukh in every district; it needs empowered local leaders, protected organisational space, and the patience to let governance speak before elections do.

Can Latur alone revive the Congress in Maharashtra? No. But can Latur show the Congress how to revive itself? Absolutely.

If the party is serious about rebuilding, it must stop treating Latur as a sentimental outlier and start treating it as a case study. Replicate the municipal-to-ZP pipeline. Invest in district satraps instead of parachuting central faces. Measure success not in press conferences but in potholes filled and water lines fixed. Maharashtra does not lack Congress voters; it lacks Congress confidence. Latur shows how that confidence can be rebuilt—brick by brick, booth by booth.

In a state desperate for an alternative narrative, Latur is not just hope. It is instruction.

Raghunath Yemul Guruji urges the Prime Minister to declare December 10 as ‘Researcher Day’ or ‘Scientist Day’

JR Choudhary — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 09:24:50 +0530

Pune, December 10 : Research is a process shaped through years of dedication, struggle and sacrifice, and behind the easy availability of various objects used in daily life lies a long history of efforts made by researchers. While days like Children’s Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day are celebrated, there is a growing demand to honour researchers who contribute significantly to improving the quality of life. Therefore, December 10 should be declared as ‘National Researcher Day or Scientist Day’, a request that has been submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This demand has been made through a letter by RANCHO and DICCAI founder Raghunath Yemul Guruji.

Since 2013, this initiative has been consistently pursued with the aim of securing global recognition and respect for researchers. Guruji Yemul stated that Nobel Prizes are awarded to researchers worldwide on December 10, and on this very day in 1930, Indian scientist Dr. C. V. Raman received the Nobel Prize. Hence, the date has historical significance. As November 21 is also observed as Dr. Raman’s death anniversary, it has been proposed that either of these two dates be declared as “National Researcher and Scientist Day.”

According to Guruji Yemul, researchers and innovators form the foundation of India’s scientific progress. Celebrating Researcher Day—similar to Teachers’ Day, Doctors’ Day and Engineers’ Day—would greatly encourage science, research, innovation and young researchers. He emphasized that researchers deserve national honours, awards and recognition, and such initiatives would inspire India to move towards the goal of a Developed India 2047.

RANCHO’s initiative ‘Research India Research’ aims to develop scientific curiosity and experimental thinking among school students. Through scientific models, presentations and animations, students are motivated towards research. The organization seeks to promote knowledge-sharing between researchers and industry leaders. It has appealed to the public and the government to recognize December 10 as ‘Researcher Day’ at the global level.

Under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, DICCAI celebrated Researcher Day on December 10. Researchers who made notable contributions in the field were felicitated during the event. Organizers mentioned that letters requesting official recognition have been sent to the central and state governments. Guruji Yemul stated that since researchers and scientists are fundamental pillars of society, there is a strong need for a National Researcher Day to honour their work.

The letter sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requests that either November 21 or December 10 be officially declared as “Researchers & Innovators Day.” Highlighting Dr. Raman’s contribution, the global recognition of the Raman Effect and the crucial role of researchers, the letter states that such a day would promote science, innovation, startup culture and young researchers. The letter also mentions that honouring researchers is an essential step for India’s progress.

The Young Researcher Sir C.V. Raman Award, presented by the Researchers and Naturally Clever Human Organization (Rancho) and the Divyang Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCAI), was conferred upon researcher Vicky Modi and scientist & Torchit founder Honey Bhagchandani. The award was presented by social worker Dinesh K. Bhal, Rancho and DICCAI founder & chairman Raghunath Yemul, and CEO Amit Agrawal. Organisers stated that both awardees were selected for their significant contributions to the fields of disability empowerment, research, innovation, and assistive technology.

Signify to illuminate 100 Indo–Nepal border villages, enhancing safety and livelihoods

JR Choudhary — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 18:33:23 +0530

Under the guidance of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Ji, the collaboration advances safety, mobility and livelihoods

New Delhi, 15 December 2025 : In line with its #BrighterLivesBetterWorld vision, Signify, the world leader in lighting, announces the street LEDification of 100 villages along the Indo–Nepal border, in collaboration with Tarq Foundation. This transformative initiative is being undertaken under the guidance of Shri Rajnath Singh Ji, Hon’ble Defence Minister of India, whose vision for safer, empowered, and better-connected border communities anchors this effort.

Stretching across 1700 km, the Indo–Nepal border is home to resilient and vibrant communities whose daily lives often unfold against infrastructural and safety-related constraints. Limited street lighting has long impacted mobility, economic activity, and community safety after dusk. The introduction of energy-efficient LED streetlights across these villages marks a significant step towards addressing these ground realities, creating safer evenings, supporting local livelihoods, and promoting stronger community networks.

Mr. Nikhil Gupta, Head of Marketing, Strategy, Govt. Affairs & CSR - Signify, Greater India said, “At Signify, we believe in bringing the best of innovations to the communities across India, through our Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative. Through this initiative, we aim to bring long-term safety, sustainability, and confidence to border communities. This partnership reflects our commitment to using light to positively impact lives in India, fostering sustainable growth and community empowerment.”

Building on this vision, the project has been designed to meet practical ground-level needs. Each village was identified based on community input, footfall patterns, and specific safety concerns.

Manoviraj Singh and Lakshana Asthana, Founding Partners at Tarq Foundation, stated, “Real development starts by listening to the people it is meant to serve. Border communities have their own unique rhythms: evening markets, long walks home from school, and the daily movement of women whose sense of safety is directly shaped by how well-lit their surroundings are. This initiative responds to these lived realities. In these villages, light is not symbolic; it is practical, protective, and deeply empowering.”

The LED streetlighting of 100 Indo–Nepal border villages stand as a significant milestone in improving rural safety and community well-being. The partnership reinforces a long-term commitment to building resilient border communities.

Rajeev Bhatt: The Architect of India’s Neurodiversity and Inclusion Revolution

JR Choudhary — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 17:42:05 +0530

On 3 December 2025, when Rajeev Bhatt stepped forward to receive the National Award for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, the thunderous standing ovation that filled the auditorium signified far more than recognition of a single achievement. It was a collective tribute to three decades of unwavering dedication—a quiet yet powerful revolution that transformed how India understands, accepts, and supports children with learning differences. For over thirty years, Rajeev Bhatt has been one of the most influential figures shaping India’s discourse on learning disabilities, neurodiversity, and inclusive education. In an era when stigma overshadowed science and parents struggled with confusion, he offered clarity, compassion, and credibility.

A Visionary Ahead of His Time

Long before terms like autism, dyslexia, or ADHD became part of mainstream conversation, Rajeev Bhatt was already interpreting their complexities for the nation. His pioneering books Decoding Autism and Decoding Dyslexia became foundational resources for parents, educators, and practitioners across India. These works bridged the often intimidating gap between scientific research and real-life application, making the subjects accessible and relatable. For thousands of families, these books became lifelines—sources of answers during times of uncertainty.

A defining moment in his early career came through his mentorship of Aditya Bawa, the first CBSE student to receive academic recognition despite severe learning disabilities. Aditya’s recognition by then–Prime Minister Shri I. K. Gujral marked a historic shift: it brought the challenges faced by children with learning differences into national focus. This milestone did not merely change the course of one child’s life—it ignited a movement. Rajeev Bhatt emerged from that moment as a national torchbearer for inclusive education.

Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time

Since the early 1990s, Rajeev Bhatt has been at the forefront of India’s fight against stigma and misconception. At a time when many children were misdiagnosed or dismissed, he traveled across the country—cities, towns, and rural communities—spreading awareness that was rooted in empathy as much as expertise. Under the umbrella of the Inclusive India initiative, he conducted a wide range of programs, including awareness sessions, sensitization workshops, parent guidance modules, teacher training seminars, and community advocacy campaigns.

His approach has always been gentle but firm. Instead of battling stigma through confrontation, he dismantled it through knowledge. He replaced fear with understanding, shame with acceptance, and hopelessness with possibility.

Adhyayan Inclusive Learning Centre: A Model for True Inclusion

One of Rajeev Bhatt’s most enduring contributions is the Adhyayan Inclusive Learning Centre, an institution he founded and continues to lead. Adhyayan is widely recognized as one of India’s most effective models of Individualized Education Program (IEP)-driven learning. Here, every child’s unique pace, strengths, and needs shape their educational pathway.

Adhyayan has flourished into a nurturing, innovative ecosystem where children with autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning needs experience genuine inclusion. The centre is built on three fundamental pillars: educators who adapt teaching methods to the child, mentors who build confidence, and a community that celebrates differences instead of merely accommodating them.

The impact of this environment is visible in the diverse career paths pursued by its students. Many have found their calling in hospitality, culinary arts, retail, customer-facing services, digital design, fine arts, sports, fitness, music, and audio production. These success stories are not accidental—they are the result of consistent, strength-oriented guidance. Rajeev Bhatt’s belief echoes through every achievement: “Destiny is never defined by disability—only by opportunity.”

Empowerment Through Strengths, Not Deficits

Rajeev Bhatt’s philosophy represents a paradigm shift. Instead of focusing on what a child struggles with, he champions an education system built around what a child does naturally well. This has led to the creation of a broad, robust framework centered on four key components:

1. Strength-Oriented Education

Children are encouraged to tap into their innate abilities—creativity, memory, visual perception, rhythm, or analytical thinking. Learning is shaped around these strengths so that children experience success before struggle.

2. Real-World Skill Training

Practical learning forms a major part of their education. Students engage in customer interaction simulations, culinary tasks, digital literacy sessions, and creative exploration in art and music. These experiences instill both confidence and competence.

3. Social and Emotional Development

Structured group activities nurture essential life skills such as communication, cooperation, emotional regulation, and resilience. These sessions help children navigate social spaces more effectively.

4. Livelihood Development and Career Preparation

For older learners, Adhyayan provides pathways toward employment, freelancing, entrepreneurship, and industry-recognized certifications. Many of these young adults are now independent earners, making meaningful contributions to society.

The Force Behind a National Movement

Beyond his roles as educator, mentor, and author, Rajeev Bhatt has become a national catalyst for change. Parents often describe their encounters with him as life-changing; teachers call him a pioneer; students simply know him as “Rajeev Sir”—a guide who helped them rediscover their confidence.

His guiding principle remains powerful in its simplicity:

“Every child deserves dignity, opportunity, and a future free from fear.”

He has consistently pushed India toward a more inclusive vision—one where neurodiversity is understood, respected, and celebrated.

Lighting the Path for India’s Inclusive Future

As India strengthens its commitment to inclusive education, Rajeev Bhatt’s work has become a blueprint for policymakers, educational institutions, and community organizations. Leaders drafting inclusive policies draw inspiration from his insights. Schools that once struggled to support diverse learners now implement structures modeled after his practices. Parents increasingly embrace early intervention, and communities are beginning to celebrate neurodiversity rather than hide it.

Above all, thousands of children now walk into their futures with more courage, pride, and security because of the systems he worked tirelessly to create.

A Legacy Beyond Awards

The National Award of 2025 recognizes not just the work of an individual but the triumph of empathy, awareness, and empowerment across India. It represents a national shift—a collective realization that:

• Autism is not an obstacle.

• Dyslexia is not a limitation.

• Every child carries a unique brilliance waiting to be nurtured.

Rajeev Bhatt has helped ignite thousands of such sparks. With every life he touches, he helps India step closer to becoming the inclusive, compassionate society it aspires to be.

A New Era of Mobility: Maharashtra Launches Precision Mobility Health Camp for Locomotive Disabilities

JR Choudhary — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:51:09 +0530

An Inclusive Mobility Initiative by the Government of Maharashtra, FUPRO, Michelin and Tarq Foundation

27 November 2025 | Pune : In a landmark collaborative effort toward inclusive mobility, the Government of Maharashtra, Michelin Tyres, FUPRO, and Tarq Foundation have jointly launched the Precision Mobility Health Camp for Persons with Locomotive Disabilities. The initiative enables scientific hand and foot measurements to design custom-fit mobility aids advancing not only physical movement, but also greater independence, participation, and everyday dignity.

Recognised nationally after its appearance on Shark Tank India, FUPRO is leading innovation in adaptive mobility solutions designed for underserved communities. This camp marks a significant expansion of their mission of bringing high-quality, personalized mobility support directly to individuals who need it most.

Speaking at the launch, Hon. Minister Shri Chandrakant Patil Ji, Minister of Higher & Technical Education, Parliamentary Affairs, Government of Maharashtra & MLA, Kothrud Constituency, emphasised the inclusive vision behind the initiative:

“Maharashtra is committed to building a state where innovation reduces barriers. This health camp is a promise that every citizen, regardless of ability, has the right to dignity, opportunity, and mobility.”

Nimish Mehra, Co-Founder, FUPRO Innovation Pvt. Ltd., shared the personal roots of this effort:

“FUPRO was born from a very real, emotional place in my own life. I’ve seen what limited mobility can mean — not just physically, but emotionally and socially. Mobility is not a device; it is dignity, it is freedom. This health camp brings solutions built for people, not just around them.”

Pune Municipal Commissioner, Shri Naval Kishore Ram Ji, highlighted the role of governance and empathy:

“True development is not measured by infrastructure alone, but by how we care for people who need greater support. Empathy must guide every policy, every system, and every partnership like the one we see here today.”

Lakshana Asthana, Founding Partner, Tarq Foundation, shared the collective vision behind the platform:

“People are not defined by what they lack, but by the opportunities we help unlock. This initiative is a step towards a future where accessible mobility is not a privilege, but a right. With the Government of Maharashtra, Michelin, and FUPRO, we’re building an ecosystem that places dignity and personhood at the center of design.”

The Precision Mobility Health Camp serves as the foundational step toward building a statewide mobility accessibility ecosystem. Key components of the initiative include:

Structured mobility assessments
Individualized hand and foot measurements
Design of custom-fit mobility aids to enhance daily movement

By aligning government vision, corporate innovation, technological design, and community mobilisation, the initiative presents a scalable model for inclusion that can be replicated across India.

Maharashtra witnessed a historic spiritual moment on 23 November, as 59 Mumukshus received the auspicious Muhurat for Collective Diksha for the first time in the state. The grand ceremony was held in the divine presence of Jain Acharya Somsoondersurisji, Shreyansprabhsurisji, and Yogatilaksurisji. More than 200 Shraman Bhagwants and 500+ Shramani Bhagwants graced the occasion.

Over 5,000 devotees gathered inside a massive 14,000 sq. ft. pandal, with several dignitaries including Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Bharat Shah, along with many guests, marking their presence. The event was sponsored by renowned philanthropist Shri Babulalji Mishrimalji Bhansali.

The 5-day Diksha Ceremony will be organised from 4 February 2026 to 8 February 2026 in Borivali (West), Mumbai, by the organisation Adhyatma Parivar. The Mumukshus have come from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and even from the United States. Among them are 18 men and 41 women, all inspired by the teachings and spiritual guidance of Acharya Yogatilaksurisji.

The youngest among them is 7-year-old Tahtiben Sameerbhai Shah, while the oldest Mumukshu is 70-year-old Harkchandji Bachraji Bhansali, a stainless-steel businessman. More than 15 highly educated youngsters, including NRI seekers, have also chosen to renounce worldly life—among them are Sujataben Rajanbhai Vohra (66 years, USA) and Sangeetaben Sanjaybhai Shah (63 years). From Raipur, members of a single family—Ashishbhai, Aryanbhai, Ayushbhai (14 years) and Rituben—will take Diksha. Other notable names include Harshilbhai (Mumbai CA), Jainambhai (IT Engineer, Mumbai), and Sakshiben (PhD Physics, Hinganghat, Nagpur).

Acharya Yogatilaksurisji holds a uniquely revered place in the Jain community. He is the only Jain Acharya to have bestowed over 350 Dikshas in the past 10 years, and currently has more than 100 disciples, considered an extraordinary accomplishment in Jain Dharma.

With the presence of Mumukshus from various Indian states and the USA, thousands of devotees, and highly respected Jain Acharyas, this collective Diksha Muhurat became a moment of pride, devotion, and spiritual radiance for the entire Jain community.

Telangana’s Transformation: Two Years of Progress and the Impact on People’s Lives

JR Choudhary — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:38:38 +0530

Hyderabad, 13^th Nov 2025 : Over the past two years, Telangana has witnessed a renewed wave of development driven by a clear vision of transparency, inclusiveness and people-first governance. From strengthening welfare systems to boosting economic opportunities, the government’s initiatives have begun reshaping lives across urban and rural landscapes.

Agriculture continues to be the backbone of Telangana and the government has prioritized policies that protect and uplift farmers. With expanded support under schemes like Rythu Bharosa, farmers now receive timely assistance, improved access to input subsidies and support for crop insurance. These measures have reduced financial uncertainty and empowered farmers to invest confidently in their fields.

In terms of housing, Indiramma Housing has ensured that thousands of families move toward secure and dignified living conditions. Simultaneously, improvements to drinking water supply through Mission Bhagiratha, strengthened electricity infrastructure and the rollout of 200 units of free power have significantly reduced the financial burden on low-income households.

Women’s empowerment has taken center stage through enhanced support for Self-Help Groups. Interest-free loans, business training and market linkages are helping women gain economic independence and become pillars of their families’ financial stability. These steps have created a ripple effect in local economies, strengthening rural entrepreneurship.

Recognizing the aspirations of Telangana’s youth, the government has intensified recruitment drives, expanded competitive exam coaching programs and launched targeted skill development initiatives under Yuva Vikasam. Skills in digital services, IT, healthcare and manufacturing are preparing young people to meet market demands and secure meaningful employment.

Aarogyasri is strengthening the Healthcare. Access to free medical services for economically disadvantaged families is increasing. Investments in public hospitals and new diagnostic facilities are ensuring quality healthcare reaches even remote regions.

Better roads, modernized public transport and upgraded civic amenities are creating a more connected Telangana. These developments are attracting new investments and improving daily life, especially for commuters, workers and students.

In every sector like education, agriculture, industry, or welfare, the government has emphasized accountability and citizen participation. Regular public interactions, transparent policy implementation and systematic grievance redressal have strengthened trust between the government and the people.

The last two years mark a significant turning point in Telangana’s development journey. The impact of these initiatives can be seen in growing economic activity, rising confidence among youth and farmers and the improved quality of life for millions of families. Telangana is steadily moving toward a future defined by opportunity, equity and sustainable progress.

Care for Vision: Retinal Health in Diabetes – Delhi Edition

JR Choudhary — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:37:57 +0530

Date: 12th November, 2025

Venue: India International Centre, New Delhi

Blue Circle Diabetes Foundation, India’s largest patient-led diabetes organisation and a registered non-profit in collaboration with Guru Nanak Eye Centre (GNEC) Delhi, organised Care for Vision: Retinal Health in Diabetes, a multi-stakeholder workshop focused on raising awareness, encouraging early detection, and improving management of diabetic eye complications. The event brought together people with lived experience of diabetes, leading ophthalmologists, physicians, public health experts, and government representatives under one roof.

Key highlights from the event:

Patient-centred dialogue:

A unique, interactive, bilingual discussion in English and Hindi with ophthalmologists, vitreoretinal specialists, endocrinologists, and people living with diabetes explored prevention, timely screening, and access gaps in diabetic eye care.

Inaugural address by Dr. Shalini Kelkar (ADG, NCDs, MoHFW):

Dr. Kelkar emphasised that non-communicable diseases and mental health are development challenges shaped by social, economic, and environmental determinants. She highlighted India’s whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach through the National Multisectoral Action Plan (NMAP), campaigns such as Fit India, and integration of NCD and mental health services into Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) under Ayushman Bharat.

She underscored the importance of early detection of diabetic complications like retinopathy and strengthening telemedicine and community-based screening through the National NCD Portal and eSanjeevani. Dr. Kelkar reiterated that people living with NCDs must be at the centre of every solution and called for a patient-centric approach to achieving a sustainable, healthy future.

Clinical and community insights:

Panel 1: Protecting Your Vision – The Role of Early Detection and Management featured experts from AIIMS, Safdarjung, Shroff Charity Eye Hospital, and Sitaram Bhartia Hospital, moderated by Dr. Nikhil Pal (Max Healthcare). They discussed risk factors, early symptoms, and the importance of routine screening.

Panel 2: Hope for Every Eye – Advances in Diabetic Eye Care and Access featured experts from AIIMS, GNEC who called for improved diagnostic access (OCT), inclusion of modern therapies such as intravitreal injections under Ayushman Bharat, stronger public-private partnerships, and meaningful engagement of people with lived experience.

Government initiatives in Delhi:

Dr. Aparna, NPCB In-charge, shared progress under the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCBVI), emphasising integration of retinal screening within NCD clinics and collaboration between eye care and endocrinology teams.

This workshop also highlighted the urgent and often overlooked burden of retinal complications among people with diabetes in India. While treatment options are available, they remain out of reach for many due to high out-of-pocket costs. People with diabetes already face the significant daily burden of insulin and other essential medications & adding preventable vision loss further impacts quality of life and livelihood. There is a pressing need for financial support mechanisms and active involvement from government health programmes to ensure equitable access to preventive eye screening and care.

As we mark World Diabetes Day on 14th November, Blue Circle Diabetes Foundation urges everyone to work together towards preventing avoidable vision loss and ensuring that no one loses sight to diabetes.

This was part of a national workshop series which began in Mumbai, followed by Hyderabad, Bengaluru & Delhi. The initiative aligns with the United Nations High-Level Meeting on NCDs (Non Communicable Diseases) in 2025, reinforcing the need for community-led, multisectoral efforts to protect vision and improve diabetes outcomes in India.

IDRC’s 4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025: We will Strengthen Institutional Arbitration, Law Min. Meghwal

JR Choudhary — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:03:35 +0530

IDRC’s 4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025, Law Min. Meghwal, HMJ Manmohan, Sh. OP Dhankar & Ors

New Delhi [India], November 7: The Indian Dispute Resolution Centre (IDRC), in collaboration with the Bar Council of India’s India International University of Legal Education and Research (IIULER), successfully hosted the “4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025” at the India International Centre, New Delhi. Supported by CIArb and Vienna International Arbitration Centre, Austria. The Conclave brought together judges, legal luminaries, policymakers, and senior practitioners to deliberate on the theme “Autonomy and Accountability in Arbitration: Institutional Arbitration is the Way Forward.”

Hon’ble Union Minister for Law and Justice, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, delivered the keynote address, outlining the Government’s reform-oriented vision for ADR. Stating that “Arbitration, Mediation, and Conciliation are essential tools for strengthening India’s justice delivery and economic growth.” Citing the Mediation Act, 2023 and the forthcoming amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, he said these initiatives would “make India a preferred seat for both domestic and international arbitration.”

Shri Meghwal remarked that ADR mechanisms reflect India’s cultural and legal heritage, noting that “from Lord Krishna’s mediation in the Mahabharata to today’s institutional mechanisms, India has always valued resolution through dialogue and alternative modes.” He called upon arbitration institutions to ensure accessibility, affordability, and integrity, noting that “judicial intervention should be limited, and efficiency must define India’s dispute resolution landscape.”

Hon’ble Justice Manmohan, Supreme Court, in his valedictory address, called for institutional arbitration to evolve as a transparent and predictable system.
Praising IDRC’s achievements, noting that the Centre had conducted over 3,000 arbitrations in five years and has become a “symbol of India’s commitment to establish an efficient and credible ADR ecosystem.”

Justice Manmohan observed that “Courts must act as facilitators, not barriers, to arbitration. Excessive judicial interference erodes the very purpose of alternative dispute resolution.”
Highlighting the benefits of Institutional Arbitrations over ad hoc proceedings, he went on to suggest that a moratorium should be placed on all ad hoc arbitrations for a certain period so that institutional arbitration can be strengthened. Referring to the Justice BN Shrikrishna Committee Report, he said India should promote arbitration institutions to become a global ADR hub.

He proposed strict timelines for enforcing awards under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration Act to ensure time-bound disposal of arbitration challenges. The Hon’ble Judge also urged the Government to revisit the Finance Ministry’s circular restricting arbitration only to disputes valued less than Rs. 10 Crore, stating that “the Government must remain a part of the arbitration movement, not apart from it.”

Panel Discussion was on “Autonomy and Accountability in Arbitration: Institutional Arbitration is the way forward” moderated by Dr Shashwat Bajpai, Founder Partner, DSRB Law Chambers, with panellists:

Mr S.D. Sanjay, Additional Solicitor General of India, Supreme Court
Ms Anuradha Dutt, Senior Partner, DMD Advocates
Mr Ayush Agarwala, Partner, Bombay Law Chambers
Ms Shruti Sabharwal, Partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas

Panellists unanimously agreed that institutional arbitration ensures quality, neutrality, and procedural discipline, unlike ad hoc arbitrations that often face delays and cost overruns.

Ms Anuradha Dutt emphasised that “India can only become a true arbitration hub if it combines institutional discipline with a predictable judiciary.”

Mr S.D. Sanjay highlighted that “institutional systems help prevent arbitral fee abuse, avoid delays and promote fairness.”

Ms Shruti Sabharwal noted that “structured oversight, award scrutiny, and ethical accountability make institutional arbitration inherently superior to ad hoc ones”

Mr Ayush Agarwala added that “efficiency, diversity among arbitrators, and digital adoption will determine the future success of arbitration in India.”

Delivering the Welcome Address, Ved Prakash Sharma, Advocate and Co-Chairman, BCI applauded the growing role of arbitration in modern dispute resolution. He highlighted the collaboration between BCI and IDRC, stating that their joint efforts have been “instrumental in promoting awareness, education, and reforms that strengthen India’s arbitration ecosystem.”

Ms Sumedha Sindhu Rathi, Head of Operations and Member Secretary, Advisory Board, IDRC, welcomed the dignitaries and participants, outlining IDRC’s key functions and the benefits of Institutional Arbitration. Mr Divyansh H. Rathi, Hony. Secretary of IDRC and Managing Partner, Lexidem and Rathi, expressed gratitude to all guests and reaffirmed IDRC’s commitment to advancing institutional arbitration and making India a global hub for credible, efficient, and technology-driven dispute resolution.

Kashmir CM and UIBC-UC Meet to Advance Indo-UAE Cooperation in Education and Healthcare

JR Choudhary — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:45:09 +0530

Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir) [India] : Mr. Faizal E. Kottikollon, Dubai-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Chairman of the UAE India Business Council - UAE Chapter (UIBC-UC), along with Kshitij Korde, Head of Corporate Affairs, UIBC-UC, called on the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri Omar Abdullah, in a landmark meeting that brought together leadership and vision.

This meeting was held on the sidelines of two key events in Srinagar - the inauguration of the transformed Middle School Block at Government Girls Higher Secondary School (GGHSS) Kothibagh, and the launch of a UIBC-UC research paper, “Bridging Horizons: UAE-India Partnership and the Future of Education-led Development.”

These events collectively underscore the growing momentum of Indo-UAE collaboration in social development, particularly in education and healthcare. The Chief Minister lauded the DREAM School initiative of the Faizal & Shabana Foundation (FSF), describing it as “a shining example of what visionary philanthropy and government partnership can achieve.”

The Kothibagh DREAM School, initiated following Mr. Kottikollon’s 2023 visit to Srinagar as part of a UIBC-UC delegation, stands as a testament to his steadfast commitment since that landmark year, a commitment that has continued to shape and strengthen Indo-UAE socio-developmental cooperation.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah recently said, “No amount of infrastructure development, be it roads, power projects, or commercial complexes, can substitute for quality healthcare and education. These are the true pillars of J&K’s progress and prosperity.”

Mr Kottikollon also presented the Chief Minister with a copy of the research paper launched earlier and a copy of “Opening Gateways – Tourism Opportunities India-UAE,” a visually stunning coffee table book celebrating the growing tourism ties between India and the UAE. Jammu and Kashmir is highlighted in the book as a tourism magnet for the country, with the untapped potential of human capital development in J&K mentioned in the paper.

Mr. Kottikollon, whose foundation has transformed over 900 schools across India under its PRISM framework, expressed gratitude for the Chief Minister’s support and reaffirmed his long-term commitment to J&K’s development.

“It was an honour to call on the Hon’ble Chief Minister and seek his guidance on strengthening the Indo-UAE corridor,” said Mr. Kottikollon. “Education and healthcare are not just priorities but bridges that connect communities and create lasting impact.”

The meeting also explored new avenues of collaboration, including the proposed 40 K–12 school transformation program across J&K and a potential partnership to upgrade existing government healthcare institutions, aligning with the region’s focus on patient safety and holistic wellness.

Mr. Kottikollon also invited the Chief Minister to lead a J&K delegation to the UAE to further

dialogue on cross-border investment and knowledge exchange, whilst also extending a special invitation to visit Tulah Wellness Sanctuary, his integrative wellness venture in Kerala.

The school opening in Srinagar, where Lt. Governor Shri Manoj Sinha was chief guest, was attended by members of the UIBC-UC delegation and marks a significant milestone in Indo-UAE cooperation, showcasing how public-private partnerships can transform the educational and social landscape of Jammu & Kashmir.

Girnar Yatra: A Union of Meditation, Science, and Service — Dhyan Guru Raghunath Guruji

JR Choudhary — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 20:23:17 +0530

Junagadh : The sacred Girnar mountain, long regarded as a center of spiritual meditation, devotion, and self-realization, witnessed a historic moment this year. Dhyan Guru Raghunath Guruji from Pune completed his 1000th Girnar Yatra and circuit around the sacred Girnar hills.

This milestone symbolizes not only his personal spiritual discipline but also the awakening of collective consciousness and the synthesis of science and spirituality.

He has also climbed the Girnar mountain 108 times, dedicating each ascent to deep meditative research and self-purification.

Girnar Yatra — A Divine Blend of Meditation and Science

Since the age of 22, Guruji has been undertaking the arduous pilgrimage of Girnar with unwavering faith. He says —

“The Girnar Yatra is not just a religious ritual; it is a journey of purification — of body, mind, and consciousness. Through this pilgrimage, a seeker unites with the divine essence of Lord Dattatreya and Guru Gorakhnath Maharaj — the supreme spiritual energies.”

With the blessings of Peer Yogi Mahant Somanath Bapu, Guruji serves as the Working President of the Guru Gorakshanath Seva Samiti. He is also the Founder of Divya Shanti Parivar, through which he has guided thousands of individuals toward peace, balance, and awareness through meditation and service. In addition, he is the Founder and President of the Divyang Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Significance of Girnar Yatra — Meditation and Scientific Insight

The Girnar Yatra is a mountain pilgrimage comprising around 10,000 steps. During the journey, devotees visit the sacred abodes of Lord Dattatreya, Guru Gorakhnath Maharaj, Goddess Amba, and Lord Neminath, walking through one of the holiest landscapes in India.

Guruji explains —

“When thousands of devotees chant ‘Jai Girnari Jai Gurudev Datt’ in one rhythm, a field of balanced energy is created within the Collective Mind. Modern science calls this Mass Coherence. The Alpha Waves generated during this process calm the brain, reduce stress, and harmonize consciousness.”

Girnar — The Confluence of Meditation, Nature, and Consciousness

Known in ancient scriptures as Raivatak Parvat, Girnar is one of India’s oldest and most powerful spiritual centers. The mountain holds immense sanctity as the site of Lord Dattatreya’s footprints, Guru Gorakhnath’s meditation cave, Goddess Amba’s temple, and Lord Neminath’s liberation site.

This is the same sacred ground where Swami Vivekananda and Shrimad Rajchandraji (spiritual mentor of Mahatma Gandhi) performed deep meditation. Guruji remarks —

“The spiritual success of these great seekers was deeply influenced by the energy of Girnar. It is a place where every breath becomes a prayer, and every step becomes meditation.”

From a scientific perspective, the Girnar region is rich in Negative Air Ions (NAI), which are known to promote heart health, reduce stress, and balance the body’s energy systems. The rocks of Girnar are part of an igneous plutonic complex, showing unique magnetic anomalies that make the region geologically and energetically distinct.

The Girnar Parikrama Path and Its Historical Importance

The Girnar Parikrama begins at the Bhawannath Temple (Dudheswar Mahadev), located between Kartiki Ekadashi and Tripuri Purnima.

• First Stretch (12 km): Jina Baba and Chandra Mouleshwar Temples.

• Second Stretch (8 km): Malvela Lake, Hanuman Temple, and Suraj Kund.

• Third Stretch (8 km): From Malvela Lake to Bordevi Mata Temple — the steep and challenging section known as Malvelani Ghodi.

• Fourth Stretch (8 km): The return route from Bordevi back to Bhawnath Temple marks the completion of the Yatra.

The Parikrama unites Hindu and Jain traditions, as it includes sacred sites of Lord Dattatreya, Guru Gorakhnath Maharaj, and Lord Neminath — symbolizing harmony between devotion and self-realization.

Girnar — An Ideal Space for Meditation and Spiritual Practice

For seekers wishing to hold meditation sessions on Girnar, Guruji offers these suggestions:

1. Choose early morning hours — when the air is pure and vibrations are calm.

2. Meditate under trees — as forested areas contain higher levels of Negative Ions.

3. Maintain complete silence and stillness — to absorb the mountain’s subtle energy.

4. Observe the environment scientifically — using ion meters or magnetometers if available, to measure the energetic balance of the atmosphere.

Guruji’s Message

During his many pilgrimages, Dhyan Guru Raghunath Guruji has integrated meditation, social service, cleanliness drives, water conservation, and tree plantation as essential parts of his mission. “To protect the body and the Earth — both are acts of true devotion,” he emphasizes.

Guruji’s 1000th Girnar Yatra is not just a personal accomplishment — it is a living testimony to India’s timeless spiritual heritage. It demonstrates that when devotion, science, and nature come together, true inner peace is achieved.

“Girnar is the sacred land where a seeker experiences the Self, the Universe, and the Divine — all as one.” — Dhyan Guru Raghunath Guruji

Hridaynath Mangeshkar Honours Legacy of Love & Reverence on entering his glorious 89th year with Didi Aani Mee

JR Choudhary — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 13:21:47 +0530

The lights dimmed at Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar Sabhagruha, but silence came first — not the silence of emptiness, but the silence before prayer. Didi Aani Mee was not a concert; it felt like a return to a home built of notes and memory. It honoured Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar and heralded the 89th birthday of Bhav Gandharva Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar — the younger brother who still speaks of her as an elder, a mentor, a divine force.

The Mangeshkar family — Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Bharati Mangeshkar, Usha Mangeshkar, Meena Mangeshkar, Adinath Mangeshkar — were present as guardians of an inheritance crafted by discipline, humility and sacred silences. Hon. Ashish Shelar, Dr. Anil Kakodkar, Swami Janmejayraje Vijaysinhraje Bhosale Maharaj of Akkalkot, Gautam Thakur, and artistes Roopkumar and Sonali Rathod were present — not merely as guests, but as witnesses to history breathing gently on stage.

When Hridaynath ji spoke, his words felt like a prayer whispered to his sister. “For us, Didi was the commander — the Senapati. We are only her soldiers. We simply follow the path she created. Her discipline, her dignity and her devotion to music still guide me every day.” The hall did not applaud; it absorbed.

Ashish Shelar shared stories the nation rarely heard — of Lata Didi speaking at Prabhu Kunj during photographer Mohan Bane’s book launch, describing cricket with such precision that even seasoned sportsmen were left astonished. And how, in this very auditorium, she once discussed ancient composers and India’s musical history with Hon. Home Minister Amit Shah — with such clarity that even time stood still to listen. “Her voice was immortal,” he said, “but so was her mind.”

Then came a moment of quiet grace. Swami Janmejayraje Vijaysinhraje Bhosale Maharaj, head of the royal house of Akkalkot, rose and said softly, “To be present here today is a blessing. To receive the affection and ashirwad of such an illustrious family like the Mangeshkars is my honour.” It was not a blessing offered — it was respect returned.

And then, legacy became commitment. In honour of Hridaynath Mangeshkar’s birthday, the Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Smruti Pratishthan made an announcement from the stage. They spoke of how the Trust was founded in 1988 by the Mangeshkar family to preserve the memory of Master Deenanath Mangeshkar and to organise his annual remembrance ceremony on 24 April — a tradition upheld continuously for 36 years. On that day, stalwarts from various fields are honoured, and music flows as prayer. The Trust has honoured over 225 personalities so far and supported many artists in need.

Since 2022, the Trust has also been bestowing the Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award to individuals who have made unparalleled contributions to India. The recipients so far — Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Asha Bhosle, Amitabh Bachchan and Kumar Mangalam Birla — reflect the magnitude of this honour.

Ravindra Joshi, Trustee of the Pratishtaan, further announced that every 28 September, Lata Didi’s birthday, a special musical programme is held in Pune, where young artists are blessed by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar. The programme has become a tradition — complete with music, memories, and a meal prepared with Lata Didi’s favourite dishes. To ensure that this legacy continues forever, the Trust declared the creation of a separate permanent fund. All income generated from this fund will be dedicated exclusively to organising this annual programme. A committee — Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Bharati Mangeshkar, Usha Mangeshkar, Adinath Mangeshkar, Swami Janmejayraje Vijaysinhraje Bhosale Maharaj, Ravindra Joshi, Shirish Rairikar, and Nischal Latad will oversee it. And as the first offering, Hridaynath Mangeshkar himself announced a contribution of ₹25 lakh. Contributions from well-wishers were welcomed with grace. The Trust remains a registered public charitable institution in Pune, eligible for income tax exemptions on donations.

The evening ended not with applause, but with folded hands, moist eyes and quiet reverence. Because some lives do not end — they become the air left behind after music stops.

Rampur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 16: In a significant initiative aimed at spreading awareness about women’s rights and legal literacy, Ummah Global Care Trust organised a Legal Awareness and Women Empowerment Program at Impact College, Rampur (U.P.). The event was held under the able leadership of Chairman Tavish Hasan, Secretary Owais Hasan, and Treasurer Alamgir, who have been consistently working towards building a socially responsible and aware community.

The program attracted a large audience of over 300 participants, including women, young girls, and youth from diverse backgrounds. The key focus of the session was to educate attendees about laws related to women’s protection, the dowry system, and fundamental constitutional values that every citizen must be aware of.

The event was presided over by Dr Sultan Ahmad, Chairman of Impact College, and Mr. Sartaj Ahmad, Managing Director of the institution, both of whom extended their full support to the initiative. In their addresses, they emphasized the crucial role of education in promoting social awareness and the empowerment of women in society. They lauded the efforts of Ummah Global Care Trust for taking up such socially relevant causes that help bridge the gap between law and society.

Prominent advocates from Rampur Court attended the event and delivered insightful sessions on various aspects of legal rights and awareness. Among those who spoke were Advocate Hidayat Ali, Advocate Jameel Rizvi, Advocate Isharta Sultan, Advocate Faheema Qureshi, Advocate Harvinder Sabberwal, Advocate Suresh Kumar Saini, Advocate Noorul Sahar, Advocate Sunita Verma, Advocate Saba Khan, and Advocate Faisal Shah Khan.

Each speaker elaborated on the importance of understanding legal provisions, especially for women, in cases related to domestic violence, dowry harassment, workplace discrimination, and property rights. They stressed that awareness of the law is the first step toward self-empowerment, as it equips individuals to stand up for their rights and challenge injustice in lawful ways.

The program also included interactive sessions, where participants raised questions about real-life issues faced by women in domestic and workplace environments. The advocates responded to these queries with practical legal advice and explained how existing legal frameworks can be used to ensure justice. The initiative helped in dispelling common myths around the law and encouraged young participants to act as agents of change in their communities.

At the conclusion of the event, certificates of Legal Awareness and Women Empowerment were distributed by Ummah Global Care Trust to all participants in recognition of their active engagement and interest in the subject. The organisers expressed gratitude to Impact College for providing the venue and to all the advocates for their valuable contributions.

Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Tavish Hasan reiterated the trust’s mission to promote legal and social education among underprivileged sections of society. He added that Ummah Global Care Trust will continue organising such programs in different regions to encourage women to become more informed, confident, and independent citizens.

JR Choudhary — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:17:25 +0530

Kochi (Kerala) [India], September 27: When empty social gestures often overshadow genuine compassion, Ajit Ravi chose a different path. In 2015, while serving as Superintendent of the Fire and Safety Department at Cochin International Airport Limited, he launched the 100 Life Challenge — a mission to support 100 lives through unwavering personal sacrifice. What began as a project to fund critical heart surgeries for the underprivileged grew into a wider initiative covering medical aid, education, and essential services.

For 100 consecutive months, Ajit donated 100% of his post-tax salary for eight hours of work to charity. Even during the turbulent pandemic years, when salaries were uncertain, he ensured that his contributions never stopped. Rooted in the principle of Individual Social Responsibility (ISR), the challenge highlights how personal action can create lasting social impact.

Yet, despite its noble cause, the challenge has remained his alone. Ajit notes that in a world where social service is often linked to fame or publicity, true charity rarely finds followers. His story stands as a reminder that real change comes from sacrifice, not spotlight.

Vishav Punjabi Diwas 2025: First World Punjabi Day Celebrated on September 23, Dedicated to Baba Farid Ji

JR Choudhary — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 16:17:17 +0530

A historic day unfolded as the world witnessed the first-ever Vishav Punjabi Diwas (World Punjabi Day / Punjabi Day / Punjab Divas), celebrated in honor of Baba Farid Ji, the first Punjabi poet and spiritual luminary. For the first time in history, Punjabis across India and abroad united to honor their language, literature, and heritage. The celebration, held on September 23, 2025, has now established a tradition that will be observed globally every year.

Apna Punjab Foundation: The Driving Force

The Apna Punjab Foundation, an organization known for its humanitarian contributions in health, education, and environment, spearheaded this initiative under the leadership of Dr. Jagjit Singh Dhuri (Founder & President).

The Foundation’s notable achievements include:

· Mission Hariyali Campaign, which led to the plantation of hundreds of thousands of trees.

· Holding the world record for the largest human tree formation.

· Organizing free cancer check-up camps and artificial limb replacement camps, highlighting its commitment to public welfare.

In collaboration with the Federation of Private Schools and Associations of Punjab, the Foundation has consistently launched initiatives to serve society. Dr. Dhuri, a globally renowned Punjabi writer, conceived the idea of Vishav Punjabi Diwas after noticing that while Hindi Diwas was observed in Punjab on September 14, there was no day dedicated to Punjabi, despite its ancient origins and global presence.

Why September 23? The Legacy of Baba Farid Ji

The Foundation, after consulting leading scholars, unanimously declared September 23rd – Baba Farid Ji’s Aagman Purab (arrival anniversary) – as World Punjabi Day.

Baba Ram Rahim’s Dera Sacha Sauda Leads Mega Cleanliness Drive in Gurugram & Flood Relief in Punjab

JR Choudhary — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:52:47 +0530

Gurugram, Haryana : Under the divine guidance of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, popularly known as Baba Ram Rahim, Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) continues its unmatched legacy of Humanitarian Service Beyond Boundaries. Recently, DSS carried out a Mega Cleanliness Drive in Gurugram and extended flood relief support in Punjab, creating a wave of positivity in Ram Rahim News across national and international platforms.

Gurugram Witnesses a Mega Clean-Up Campaign

In September 2025, under the banner of “Clean Haryana”, more than 1,00,000 volunteers of Dera Sacha Sauda actively participated in a historic cleanliness mission across 46 major locations in Gurugram. Within just 7 hours, over 2,800 tonnes of garbage was cleared.

This campaign gained visible support from Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, and district administration.

This was not the first such drive. Under the pious guidance of Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Ji, DSS has been conducting Mega Sanitation Drives since 2011. In March 2022, the 34th Cleanliness Drive in Gurugram engaged nearly 4,00,000 volunteers, echoing the message “Ho Prithvi Saaf, Mite Rog Abhishaap” (“Cleanse the planet earth to remove dirt and curse”).

Such consistent initiatives make Dera Sacha Sauda and Baba Ram Rahim Ji a beacon of hope in civic welfare and environmental protection.

From Clean Cities to Crisis Zones: DSS’s Flood Support in Punjab

Alongside its civic drives, Dera Sacha Sauda has also been a frontline responder in Punjab’s recent floods. Through its welfare wing, the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare committee, thousands of volunteers reached disaster-hit zones with immediate relief and rescue.

Notable Relief Actions by DSS Volunteers:

Rescue & Evacuation: Hundreds of people from low-lying areas in Patran, Samana, Monnak, and Shutrana were evacuated safely using boats and vehicles.
Food, Water & Medical Aid: Community kitchens, ration distribution, clean drinking water, medicines, and animal feed were supplied. Baba Ram Rahim Ji’s teachings of selfless service inspired volunteers to work day and night.
Strengthening Embankments: Volunteers built sandbag walls near river Ghaggar, saving homes, farmlands, and entire villages.
Coordination with Authorities: DSS coordinated with district administration, Red Cross, and NGOs, ensuring timely and effective delivery of relief.

Baba Ram Rahim Ji’s Vision in Action

The efforts of DSS show that under the spiritual guidance of Gurmeet Ram Rahim, service is not limited to cities but extends into disaster-hit regions. Be it cleanliness campaigns or flood relief, DSS proves that organized volunteers, guided by spirituality, can achieve what governments and NGOs alone cannot.

These combined efforts are frequently highlighted in Ram Rahim News updates and serve as an inspiration for communities worldwide.

Service, Compassion, and Discipline: From keeping cities clean to rescuing flood victims, Baba Ram Rahim Ji and Dera Sacha Sauda embody a unique blend of spirituality, humanity, and rapid emergency response. Their initiatives are a shining example of how faith-based organizations can transform societies through service, compassion, and discipline.

With every act of service, DSS reaffirms its mission: “Selfless Service is the True Religion.

Rebuilding Telangana: Government Restores Public Trust and Champions Grassroots Governance

JR Choudhary — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 17:11:46 +0530

Hyderabad, September 2025 : Telangana has witnessed a transformational shift in governance aimed at rebuilding public trust and energizing grassroots democracy through radical transparency, rapid welfare rollout and accountable administration.

Welfare That Reaches Every Citizen

A key priority has been the swift implementation of the state's landmark "Six Initiatives," a comprehensive welfare package benefiting farmers, women, youth, the unemployed and marginalized groups. Within hours of assuming office, the Chief Minister authorized direct benefit transfers to agrarian and artisanal families via secure bank channels, demonstrating a commitment to transparent and efficient delivery of government support.

Highlights include:

· Free travel for women on state-run buses, aimed at boosting safety and mobility.

· Enhanced health insurance coverage (Rajiv Arogyasri), increased to ₹10 lakh per eligible family.

· Employment generation programs, prioritizing opportunities for youth and the realization of major public initiatives.

Other welfare programs continue to roll out, backed by robust data management and modern administrative frameworks to ensure support reaches those in need.

Governance in Full View

Significant measures have been taken to address public concerns and restore faith in the official governance process:

· Public White Paper on State Finances: The state cabinet released a comprehensive review of financial records from 2014–2023, inviting public scrutiny and fostering financial clarity.

· Digitized Decision-Making: Scheduled twice-monthly cabinet meetings, immediate publication of meeting agendas and the digitization of records have accelerated administrative decisions and minimized bureaucratic delays.

· Quarterly Progress Audits: Every three months, special state cabinet sessions review decision implementation, setting new standards for transparency.

Grassroots Democracy and Local Engagement

Empowering communities remains central to the state's vision:

· Reserved Representation: The state cabinet increased reservations for Backward Classes in local bodies from 29% to 42%, meeting longstanding community demands and strengthening representation.

· Direct Community Engagement: Regular public grievance forums hosted at the state government reception hall bring citizens directly in contact with decision-makers, reinforcing the principle of an inclusive administration.

Technology, Decentralization and Inclusive Growth

· Faster Welfare Delivery: Social and rural welfare schemes have been expedited, ensuring measurable improvements for farmers, women, youth and disadvantaged communities.

· Digital Service Delivery: Plans for seamless digital grievance redressal and service delivery are underway to increase transparency and reduce inefficiency.

· Empowering Local Institutions: Strengthening Panchayat Raj Institutions and implementing decentralization reforms have built robust self-governance at the grassroots level with greater autonomy and resources.

Rebuilding Trust Through Openness

Visible steps toward open and inclusive administration are helping reverse previous centralization and opacity. Symbolic actions, such as making the government’s reception hall accessible, further signal a new era of transparency.

As Telangana progresses, the state administration is laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and dynamic future. Through comprehensive welfare initiatives, accountable governance, improved representation and technology-enabled public services, confidence in the state's governance is being restored and grassroots democracy renewed.

In a significant political development, more than 400 social and political workers from Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli and Chandrapur districts officially joined the Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar faction) during a grand induction ceremony held in Mumbai. The event took place at the Mahila Vikas Mandal near Mantralaya, Nariman Point, with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Dada Pawar presiding as the chief guest.

Several senior leaders graced the occasion, including Nawab Malik, NCP State President Sunil Tatkare, former Cabinet Minister and current MLA Dharmaraobaba Atram, and MLA Shivajirao Garje. A large number of senior NCP office-bearers and workers were also in attendance.

This political development comes ahead of the upcoming Zilla Parishad and Municipal Council elections, and is seen as a major boost for NCP in the Vidarbha region, particularly in tribal and remote areas where the newly inducted members hail from.

The entire induction was held under the guidance and leadership of MLA Dharmaraobaba Atram, who is widely recognized for his grassroots public service, employment generation, and social commitment in the region.

Prominent new entrants include:

Nitesh Narote, Laxman Veladi, Swami Godari, Chandraya Durgam, Satyam Pidgu, Mahesh Ade, Deepak Shankarlal Jaiswal, Nilesh Shyamrao Mankar, Rahul Ankush Devatale, Smt. Nutan Revatkar, Krishtayya Rangayya Portet, Sheikh Farzana Iftikhar, Sheikh Abdul Rauf Abdul Ghaffar, Shailendra Patwardhan, Vilas Sidam, Navras Sheikh, Jyoti Tai Sadmek, Surih Nana Janga, Pramod Vaidya, Anil Kerami, Vaishali Tat Palliwar, Bauddha Kumar Lonare, and Namdev Udan.

Inspired by his leadership and the development-driven vision of Ajit Dada Pawar and the Mahayuti government, we have decided to align with the NCP.”

The newly joined members pledged to spread the party’s ideology and development agenda to every corner of Gadchiroli and Chandrapur, and to ensure that the NCP flag is raised in every upcoming election.

The program also spotlighted Dharmaraobaba Atram’s inspirational journey. Once held hostage by Naxalites for 17 days, Atram overcame this traumatic period and emerged as a symbol of resilience and grassroots leadership. He has since worked tirelessly to create employment opportunities, helping provide mining-related jobs to over 5,000 families in Gadchiroli.

This induction ceremony in Mumbai is a clear indicator of NCP’s growing influence in Vidarbha, especially among tribal and rural communities, and reflects the rising trust in leaders like Dharmaraobaba Atram. The event is likely to play a decisive role in strengthening NCP’s position in upcoming elections.

Ravindra Chavan Appointed Maharashtra BJP President: A Grassroots Leader with Ideology and Strategy

JR Choudhary — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 15:37:23 +0530

THANE, MUMBAI, INDIA : The Bharatiya Janata Party, Maharashtra, proudly announces the unanimous appointment of Shri Ravindra Dattatray Chavan as the new President of the Maharashtra State BJP. A four-time MLA from Dombivli and a seasoned party worker with over 23 years of meaningful public service. Shri Chavan’s appointment exemplifies the core foundations of BJP’s leadership dedication, ideological commitment, and organizational strength.

This appointment comes at a defining moment for Maharashtra, as the political, social, and regional dynamics of the state continue to evolve. Chavan’s elevation signifies the representation to ideologically grounded leadership and party’s long-term vision for Maharashtra.

Shri Ravindra Chavan’s journey is an inspiring example for every political worker. Hailing from urban Dombivli, Chavan began his political journey through the BJP Yuva Morcha, steadily rising through the ranks — from corporator to MLA, to Minister, and now State President. He has been shaped by both ideological clarity and ground-level experience, making him a leader who understands the pulse of the people as well as the discipline of the organization.

He is known to be an impactful persona within the party and among citizens — “Ravindra Chavan,” the cultural torchbearer who nurtures local talent and institutions like Dombivlikar Ek Sanskrutik Parivar, and “Ravi Chavan,” the tireless political strategist who has played pivotal roles in important elections, including in Kalyan-Dombivli, Palghar, and Sindhudurg. His versatility, groundedness, and fierce loyalty to the party’s cause have made him a trusted face for both grassroots karyakartas and senior leadership.

Chavan hails from Konkan with roots in both Mumbai and Dombivli, his appointment helps the party reach out more effectively to the masses.

Having served under both Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde as a Minister, Shri Chavan has delivered substantial infrastructure results, overseeing ₹92,000 crore worth of roads, bridges, and government buildings — including fast-tracking the Mumbai-Goa Highway. His effective handling of critical political situations demonstrates his ability to navigate complex political terrains with maturity and discretion.

Shri Chavan assumes charge during a politically packed year featuring Gram Panchayat, Zilla Parishad, and Municipal Corporation elections across the state. His foremost responsibility will be to present the achievements of the BJP government, promote the development work done under CM Devendra Fadnavis, and reinforce the party’s message across urban and rural Maharashtra. He also carries the task of strengthening the digital narrative, countering misinformation, and motivating the cadre to take party to the last mile. The respect he commands within the party is evident in the affectionate titles “Aapla Ravi” and “Ravidada”, used by karyakartas and senior leaders alike indicating not just accessibility, but deep-rooted connection and credibility.

Ravindra Chavan’s appointment is a reaffirmation of the BJP’s ideological foundation: nation first, party next, self last. It is also a reflection of BJP Maharashtra’s deep belief in nurturing homegrown leadership. In contrast to dynastic politics, the BJP continues to show that a common karyakarta can rise to the highest organizational post through discipline, dedication, and delivery.

This is not merely a promotion; it is a responsibility and opportunity to lead the BJP through Maharashtra’s dynamic political phase with strength, unity, and vision. The Maharashtra BJP stands united behind Shri Ravindra Chavan and is confident that under his leadership, the party will continue to grow stronger, more inclusive, and even more connected to the aspirations of the people.

CHETU VOLUNTEERS VISIT AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT MID-DAY MEAL INITIATIVE

JR Choudhary — Tue, 20 May 2025 11:20:22 +0530

Noida, India (20 May 2025) : The Chetu Foundation, the non-profit entity of Chetu, a global digital intelligence and software solutions provider, recently hosted a team visit to a local Delhi school where the students receive daily nutritious lunches provided by the Akshaya Patra Foundation.

“The joy on the children’s faces as we served meals and handed out Chetu t-shirts was a reminder of how small acts of giving can create lasting change,” said Manish Tyagi, HR Manager at Chetu. “Through partnerships like this, the Chetu Foundation continues to drive positive change in underserved communities.”

Afterward, the Chetu volunteers visited one of Akshaya Patra Foundation’s centralized kitchens, where they observed the high-capacity and hygienic meal preparation process that powers the mid-day meal program across the region. Akshaya Patra, an NGO, feeds more than 2.25 million children daily in over 24,000 schools across India.

“Visiting the school and the kitchen highlights the importance of Akshaya Patra’s mission,” said Swati Gupta, Team Member at Chetu. “Many of these children come from disadvantaged families and don’t have nutritious meals at home. Many parents send their kids to school because of the daily healthy meals.”

“To think Akshaya Patra feeds millions of schoolchildren daily,” Senior Team Member Rajeev Pandey added. “The visit to the central kitchen was eye-opening. It showed the massive undertaking Akshaya Patra does to help disadvantaged kids.”

Shaili Bansal, Executive Director of the Chetu Foundation, said they are proud to support Akshaya Patra’s mission.

“At the Chetu Foundation, we believe that ensuring children have access to meals and essentials like clothing is vital to their education and growth,” she said. “We are thrilled that our Chetu Team Members volunteered and saw first-hand the work Akshaya Patra is doing.”

In the past year, Chetu donated $160,000 to support the Akshaya Patra Foundation’s mission of eradicating classroom hunger and improving children’s lives through food security.

True transformation begins with instilling bhakti and values in our youth.” — Karu Nagarajan, Head of Tamil Perayam

Hapur Police Bust Counterfeit Agrochemical Packaging Racket

JR Choudhary — Thu, 01 May 2025 17:30:37 +0530

Hapur, May 01, 2025 : In a joint operation conducted by the Hapur Police and the District Agriculture Department, a large cache of counterfeit agrochemical packaging was seized from a private residence in New Kasimpura, Hapur. The illegal stock included empty containers and wrappers falsely bearing the trademarks of several leading companies, including Dhanuka Agritech, Syngenta, FMC, Bayer CropScience, UPL, and Corteva.

The raid, initiated following a formal complaint by Premchandra Sharma, Assistant Manager at True Buddy Consulting Pvt. Ltd., acting on behalf of the affected companies, uncovered three rooms filled with duplicate materials intended for the sale of spurious agrochemical products. Preliminary investigations revealed that the premises were rented without proper documentation.

It has also come to light that in New Kasimpura, empty packaging and wrappers from products of several agri-input companies were being misused to sell counterfeit products. Upon receiving this information, the District Agriculture Officer was immediately alerted, and a team was promptly formed to conduct a raid. The operation was carried out by Sub-Inspector Jitendra Kumar from Hapur Nagar Police Station.

Authorities have registered a case under the relevant sections of the Copyright Act 1957 and Trademark Act 1999, and further legal proceedings are underway. The companies involved urge farmers and retailers to purchase only from authorised distributors and report any suspicious products.

Once again, the trust of India’s farmers has been betrayed. In villages where hope sprouts with every seed, a silent crime has been unfolding—fake pesticides, manufactured and packaged to deceive, were being sold to the very hands that till our land and feed our people. In the recent raid conducted in Hapur, a massive consignment of counterfeit pesticide packets was seized—yet no firm action has been taken against the kingpins of this criminal network.

The counterfeit products, designed to resemble trusted brands, were being pushed into rural markets just ahead of the cropping season. If left unchecked, these could have devastated fields, destroyed harvests, and driven farmers deeper into debt and despair.

First-of-its-Kind Case in India: Malla Reddy Narayana Cancer Hospital Successfully Treats Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma with Advanced HIPEC Surgery

JR Choudhary — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 19:48:12 +0530

Multidisciplinary Precision and HIPEC Therapy Offer New Hope to 24-Year-Old Patient

Hyderabad, April 21, 2025 – Malla Reddy Narayana Cancer Hospital, Suraram, a premier cancer care centre in Telangana, held a press meet today at 11:30 AM within the hospital premises to announce a remarkable medical achievement: the successful treatment of a rare case of Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma using an advanced procedure involving Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) followed by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC).

This rare and complex case involved 24-year-old Gautham Kumar, who had previously undergone two lines of chemotherapy at other institute, reached Malla Reddy Narayana Hospital for the Surgery. Diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma , an exceptionally rare and aggressive malignancy that typically does not occur in the peritoneum. The diagnosis and subsequent treatment required a high level of expertise and precision, provided by a multidisciplinary oncology team led by Dr. Harish Dara, Senior Consultant – Surgical Oncology

The surgical team undertook a challenging 16-hour procedure, which included complete tumor debulking followed by the direct infusion of heated chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity—a technique known as HIPEC. This innovative method is designed to eradicate any residual microscopic cancer cells, enhance chemotherapy absorption, and minimize damage to healthy tissues.

HIPEC, now available at Malla Reddy Narayana Cancer Hospital, represents a significant advancement in the treatment of abdominal cancers such as ovarian, colorectal, gastric cancers, pseudomyxoma peritonei, mesothelioma, and certain rare sarcomas. Unlike conventional chemotherapy, HIPEC is delivered intra-operatively at elevated temperatures, significantly improving clinical outcomes.

This successful case exemplifies the hospital’s ability to manage rare and complex oncological conditions through advanced medical technology, surgical expertise, and a patient-centric approach.

“This extraordinary case reflects our ongoing mission to bring advanced and accessible cancer care to the region. We continue to invest in infrastructure, technology, and expertise that allow us to manage even the rarest and most challenging cases with confidence and care.”

Dr. Ch. Preethi Reddy , Vice-Chairman, Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth, stated:

“Treating Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma with advanced HIPEC is extremely rare—both globally and in India—due to the rarity of the disease and the specialized nature of the treatment. It demands highly skilled surgeons, specialized infrastructure, and a dedicated multidisciplinary team. Malla Reddy Narayana Cancer Hospital stands among India’s leading advanced cancer centres. We are proud to announce this success and I sincerely appreciate the commitment and excellence of our team of doctors.”

Dr. Harish Dara , Senior Consultant, Surgical Oncology, commented:

“This case represents the best of surgical innovation and team collaboration. When combined with complete cytoreduction, HIPEC can offer patients a real chance at long-term survival in situations where traditional treatment options fall short.”

Dr. G. Narendra Prakash , Senior Anaesthetist, shared:

“The success of this high-risk surgery required seamless coordination across multiple departments. Intraoperative stability was critical, and we ensured continuous monitoring and management throughout the extended duration of the procedure.”

Grand Annadaan Drive of Radhe Guru Maa on Ram Navami and Akshaya Tritiya

JR Choudhary — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 23:26:53 +0530

Image Caption: Thousands of Differently-Abled and Underprivileged Individuals Receive Meals Under the Blessings of Radhe Guru Maa in Borivali, Mumbai

Mumbai, April 2025: In a heartfelt celebration of Ram Navami and Akshaya Tritiya, a massive Annadaan (food donation) program was organized in Borivali West, Mumbai, under the divine guidance and blessings of Radhe Guru Maa. The event brought together spirituality and service as thousands of differently-abled and underprivileged individuals were served freshly cooked, nutritious meals with love and respect.

Radhe Guru Maa, widely revered for her philanthropic initiatives and compassionate teachings, led this noble endeavor with the vision that “no one should go hungry on such sacred days.” Her personal involvement and blessings uplifted the entire atmosphere, transforming the event into a moving spiritual experience.

From early morning, devotees and volunteers gathered to prepare and distribute meals. The arrangements were managed with great care—hygiene, accessibility, and respect were prioritized. People from various backgrounds queued up peacefully, many of them visibly touched by the kindness they received.

Speaking to the gathered crowd, Radhe Guru Maa addressed recent disturbances during the Ram Navami procession, urging people to uphold peace and brotherhood.

“Celebrating Ram Navami is not merely about organizing grand processions or chanting hymns. It is about living the ideals of Lord Ram—who stood for dharma, justice, and unity. There is no place for hate or violence in his name,” she said.
“Let us cultivate patience and harmony in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our hearts. Let Ram live not just in temples, but in our actions and intentions.”

The atmosphere was deeply emotional. Elderly attendees were seen with tears of gratitude, while young volunteers served with heartfelt smiles. More than just a charitable initiative, the event embodied the spirit of inclusion, service, and devotion.

One of the senior volunteers reflected on the significance of the day:

“Under the divine blessings of Guru Maa, this food donation has become a sacred tradition every year. But this time, with Ram Navami and Akshaya Tritiya aligning, the joy and devotion were doubled. Helping the needy is the truest form of worship, and today, we all experienced what selfless service truly feels like.”

Radhe Guru Maa reminded the attendees that true spirituality lies not in rituals alone, but in how we treat the weakest members of society. She encouraged everyone to carry forward the message of generosity beyond festivals.

“When we serve the hungry, when we stand by the weak, when we forgive the ignorant—only then do we walk the true path of righteousness. Let our festivals be celebrations of kindness,” she emphasized.

The event concluded with collective prayers for peace, unity, and well-being, followed by a devotional arati to Lord Ram and Radhe Krishna. The lingering sentiment among all present was clear: faith finds its highest expression in compassion.

In a time when divisions often overshadow devotion, this event served as a powerful reminder that the true purpose of spirituality is to unite, uplift, and serve with love.

Governor C. P. Radhakrishnan and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Highlight Maharashtra’s Role in Driving India Toward a $1 Trillion Economy

JR Choudhary — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 18:52:43 +0530

Mumbai…March 20, 2025 :The prestigious Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards 2025 celebrated the excellence and contributions of remarkable individuals across various fields in Maharashtra at a grand event held at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai. Organized by Lokmat Media, the awards honored personalities who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and leadership, leaving a lasting impact on society.

The event witnessed the presence of distinguished dignitaries, including Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Ministers Shri Eknath Shinde and Shri Ajit Pawar, Hon’ble Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly Shri Rahul Narwekar, Sanjiv Bajaj - Chairman & Managing Director of Bajaj Finserv, P. P. Brahmavihari Das - International Relations of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Kartik Aaryan - Bollywood Actor, Deven Bharti - Spl. Commissioner at Mumbai Police, Dr. Vijay Darda - Chairman of Lokmat Editorial Board, Rajendra Darda - Editor in Chief of Lokmat Media Group and Rishi Darda - Joint Managing Director & Editorial Director, Lokmat Media Group. Their participation underscored the significance of recognizing and celebrating individuals who shape Maharashtra’s future.

Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, graced the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 as the Chief Guest and expressed, "I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the distinguished awardees across various fields – from social work to public service, administration, and art and culture. It is initiatives like these by the Lokmat family that truly recognize and celebrate the voices shaping our society. Maharashtra holds a unique position in the country's progress, and with major infrastructure developments like the Navi Mumbai airport and the upcoming deep seaport at Vadhavan, the state's role in driving India's economic growth is undeniable. Achieving the goal of a $1 trillion economy is essential for realizing the vision of Viksit Maharashtra.

I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modiji and his team on behalf of the people of Maharashtra for their efforts in recognizing Marathi as a classical language—a testament to the rich cultural and historical legacy of the state. This achievement deserves greater appreciation.

Only one thing I want to emphasize: we must all work together to make Maharashtra a $1 trillion economy. Viksit Bharat is not possible unless Maharashtra contributes in a significant way. By achieving this milestone, we pave the path toward national progress, and I urge everyone to move collectively toward this shared goal.

As we move toward a Viksit Bharat, it is crucial that public discourse goes beyond politics to focus on economic development. I encourage media platforms like Lokmat to continue informing the public about transformative projects and their potential to reshape Maharashtra’s future. Together, with collective effort and a shared vision, we can drive prosperity and progress for every citizen of the state."

Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Maharashtra honoured as Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 for his enduring commitment to public service and governance. While speaking at the event, he said, "Maharashtra's bureaucracy has long been a pillar of strength; however, we must guard against complacency. Recognizing that other regions also excel, it's imperative we adopt a competitive spirit, embracing continuous improvement over self-satisfaction. Our recent budget reflects this ethos, with a 40% increase in allocations for Adivasi Vikas and Samajik Nyay. Even excluding the Ladki Bahin fund, there's a substantial 19% rise, underscoring our commitment to social justice.

We've critically assessed past expenditures and identified the need for better planning and resource management, especially for vulnerable sections. This year, we've set benchmarks to sustain growth and boost our Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). Our capital expenditure plan includes transformative projects like the Shaktipeeth Road, multimodal corridors, and other iconic initiatives, with land acquisition costs estimated between ₹40,000 to ₹45,000 crore. These projects are designed to catalyze economic growth. We're balancing investments in social sectors and infrastructure to ensure holistic development.

The central government's provision of ₹1.5 lakh crore in 50-year interest-free loans for state capital expenditure presents a significant opportunity for us. Maharashtra is poised to leverage these funds, given our robust infrastructure development agenda. We've integrated artificial intelligence into our systems, markedly reducing corruption and promoting transparent governance. Our unwavering commitment is to ensure that development remains uninterrupted, overcoming challenges with resilience. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are resolute in our mission to deliver exemplary progress for all."

Shri Eknath Shinde, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Maharashtra highlighted, "Lokmat has always played a significant role in highlighting stories that inspire and uplift society. As a long-time reader, I appreciate how Lokmat reaches the grassroots of Maharashtra to recognize and celebrate deserving individuals. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Darda family for honoring those contributing to the state's progress. Having received a Lokmat award myself before becoming Chief Minister, I understand the value of this recognition. My best wishes to everyone associated with these prestigious awards and to all the recipients who continue to make Maharashtra proud."

Among the special awardees, Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman and Managing Director of Bajaj Finserv, was honored for his transformative leadership in the business sector, while Kartik Aaryan was recognized for his remarkable contributions to Indian cinema. Deven Bharti, Special Commissioner of Mumbai Police, was acknowledged for his exemplary service in maintaining law and order. Brahmavihari Swami of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha was celebrated for his efforts in fostering international relations.

Mr. Rishi Darda, Joint Managing Director & Editorial Director, Lokmat Media Group expressed, "The Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards celebrate the remarkable individuals who drive positive change and inspire society with their dedication and vision. This platform honors those who shape Maharashtra’s future through innovation, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Each awardee’s journey reflects the spirit of progress and the power of transformative leadership." Mr. Rishi Darda conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director of Bajaj Finserv. Their discussion covered Bajaj Finserv’s historic ₹24,000 crore acquisition of Allianz’s stake in Bajaj Allianz, its impact on the Indian insurance landscape, and the company’s long-term vision for driving innovation and financial inclusion.

Mr. Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv received Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 Award for Business. He mentioned, “This acquisition marks a significant milestone for us. Bajaj Allianz, which started in 2001 as a joint venture with Allianz, has grown into one of the finest insurance companies in India over the past two decades. With India’s financial services and insurance sector presenting immense opportunities, both partners had the ambition to shape their own future. Given that a company cannot have two captains steering the same ship, we made the amicable decision to acquire Allianz’s 26% stake for ₹24,000 crore—the largest check written in the history of the Indian insurance sector and one of the biggest in the NBFC space.

This move aligns with our vision of building world-class companies from India, for India. Today, we have built a financial services business with a valuation exceeding ₹10 lakh crore, and it all started from a market cap of just ₹2,000 crore in 2007. If someone had invested ₹1 crore back then, it would have grown 400 times today. This growth is a testament to India’s potential, the resilience of our team, and the power of long-term vision.

Looking ahead, India presents a once-in-a-lifetime financial opportunity over the next decade. With rising incomes, increasing insurance penetration, and a rapidly digitizing economy, the financial services industry is set to expand significantly. In the next 10 years, India is poised to become one of the world’s largest insurance markets, driven by a growing middle class, a young and aspirational population, and a regulatory framework that encourages innovation and expansion. Bajaj Finserv is committed to playing a key role in this transformation, ensuring that we provide best-in-class products, leverage cutting-edge technology, and enhance financial inclusion at scale.

One of the key drivers of success is a strong work ethic. At Bajaj, we believe in hard work, discipline, and the power of relentless execution. Our leadership and teams work beyond the conventional 40-hour week, putting in the time and effort required to build something truly remarkable. Success is not about clocking in and out—it’s about dedication, ownership, and the willingness to go the extra mile.

As we move forward, our focus remains on innovation, customer-centric solutions, and leveraging technology to stay ahead in an evolving landscape. We recognize that success is never the result of just one individual—it takes a strong team, a clear vision, and relentless execution. For aspiring entrepreneurs, my advice is to chase ideas that are unique, remain passionate, and build teams that share the same vision. Challenges are inevitable, but perseverance and the right mindset create lasting businesses.

This acquisition is not just about Bajaj Finserv’s expansion—it’s about strengthening India’s insurance landscape with long-term stability and innovation at its core. "

Bollywood Actor Kartik Aaryan was honored with the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 award in the Actor category. He said, "I am truly honored to receive the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year 2025 award. This is a proud moment for me and my family. While I hail from Gwalior, Mumbai has been my karmabhoomi—this city has given me my name, fame, home and everything I have today. Since childhood, my dream was to become an actor and come to Mumbai, and that decision became the turning point of my life. As the Bhagavad Gita says, one should focus on their work without worrying about the results. Awards like the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year are a testament to that belief, and I will continue to dedicate myself to my craft."

The ceremony highlighted the achievements of these individuals who have not only excelled in their respective fields but have also contributed to the betterment of society. Their stories of dedication and innovation continue to inspire and serve as a testament to the spirit of Maharashtra.

The Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards remain a symbol of excellence and a platform to honor those whose work continues to shape the socio-economic and cultural fabric of Maharashtra.

JR Choudhary — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 14:23:42 +0530

In the dynamic landscape of Indian politics, where ideology and collaboration shape the nation’s future, two figures stand out for their dedication and influence: Adv. Sayed Jalaluddin, a champion of minority rights, and Shri Praful Patel, a seasoned administrator and political stalwart. Their recent interaction—marked by Adv. Jalaluddin’s heartfelt birthday wishes to Shri Patel—highlights not only their professional synergy within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) but also a shared commitment to inclusive governance.

Adv. Sayed Jalaluddin: A Voice for Empowerment

As the National Chairman of the Minority Department of the NCP, Adv. Sayed Jalaluddin has carved a niche as a proactive advocate for marginalized communities. A lawyer by profession, his political journey is rooted in grassroots activism, emphasizing legal empowerment, education, and socio-economic upliftment for minorities. His role in the NCP underscores the party’s ethos of secularism and social justice, where he has spearheaded initiatives to bridge gaps in representation and access to resources.

Jalaluddin’s leadership is characterized by his ability to navigate complex socio-political landscapes, fostering dialogue between diverse groups. His focus on policy-driven solutions and community engagement has made him a trusted figure among India’s minority populations, reflecting his belief that “inclusivity is the cornerstone of national progress.”

Shri Praful Patel: A Visionary Administrator

A former Union Minister for Civil Aviation and Heavy Industries, Patel’s tenure witnessed landmark reforms, including the modernization of India’s aviation infrastructure and the revitalization of public sector enterprises. His pragmatic approach and ability to steer critical sectors during challenging times have cemented his reputation as a forward-thinking leader.

Beyond politics, Patel is celebrated for his affable persona and cross-party relationships, embodying the spirit of collaborative politics.

A Bond Forged in Service

Jalaluddin’s public birthday tribute to Patel—a gesture blending personal warmth and professional respect—reveals a mutual admiration rooted in shared goals. While Jalaluddin’s work amplifies voices from the grassroots, Patel’s administrative expertise ensures these voices translate into actionable policies. Together, they represent the dual engines of advocacy and execution driving the party forward.

Both leaders, though distinct in their approaches, complement each other in the larger mission of nation-building. Their synergy serves as a reminder that progress thrives when diverse perspectives converge—a lesson India’s political landscape would do well to embrace.

Karnataka Govt mandates Intelligent Transportation System AIS-140 Guidelines on Public Vehicles: Over 6.5 Lakh vehicles to be fitted with Panic Button

JR Choudhary — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:22:14 +0530

https://morth.nic.in/sites/default/files/Finalized_Draft_AIS_140_regarding_Intelligent_Transportation_Systems_.pdf

Exponentially increasing commute, millions of Indians, need safety inside the vehicle and on road.

Karnataka currently accounts for 8.6% [1] of the total 168,491[3] road accidents in India, placing it 5th [1] among all states. Furthermore, the state is encountering new issues related to incidents of rape and molestation.

Taxis, school buses, employee transportation, buses etc require a real-time connected technology in order for the Government to take proactive measures during road accidents, and emergencies.

What is AIS-140 VLT Device?

It’s Made in India, Vehicle Location Tracking Device & Emergency Panic Button, which works on GAGAN Satellite Constellation for triangulation of location by sending the data to the embedded IRNSS Chipset, attached to the vehicle ignition.

This device sends location coordinates, speed, time and panic alerts data to Government Command centers every 30 seconds via Dual Sim (BSNL + Airtel) embedded on the device.

The command centers with the received information from the AIS-140 device would take further actions to inform Local Police, Ambulance System, Fire Station etc.

How Has Karnataka Implemented ?

With the state's vision to reduce accidents and thefts in Karnataka, and with participation from the RTO, Transport Ministry, and Police Department, it was decided to implement the AIS-140 in phases, starting from March 2024, as per the Guidelines mentioned in TD 57 TDO 2019.

In December 2023, the Ministry called a tender for Hardware manufacturers and Cloud technology service hardware.

13 Indian hardware manufacturers were empanelled and CDAC was awarded a tender to maintain the data and setup command center for the next five years.

The RTO department made the AIS-140 VLT device fitment compulsory process to get the fitness certificate. To ensure scalability and transparency, RTO provided Suraksha Mitra Mobile Application to MVI (Motor Vehicle Inspectors) across all RTOs to verify the device and panic button workability.

Once approved by MVI, AIS-140 Approved Suraksha Mitra and VLTD Certificates are downloaded from Suraksha and VAHAN portal respectively and submitted to the RTO by the vehicle owners to get the fitness certification.

Current Scenario

As of 31st December 2024, over 40,000 vehicles have been fitted with AIS-140 devices. The centralized CDAC centre is set up at the RTO Commissioner Building on Double Road. Over 25 agents monitor operations 24/7, managing panic button alerts in real-time. The system has saved nearly 10 lives through panic alerts received from devices and can prevent thousands of accidents by tracking and alerting drivers about their driving behavior.

Delhi Deserves Better, Alka Lamba Stands Ready to Transform Governance Says S. Krishna Chaitanya Reddy

JR Choudhary — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 13:08:55 +0530

Delhi : In a pointed critique of both the BJP and AAP, S. Krishna Chaitanya Reddy, Joint Coordinator of the All India Kisan Congress, has thrown his full support behind Congress leader Alka Lamba in her electoral challenge to Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena. In an exclusive interview, Reddy underscored the shortcomings of the current administrations and heralded Lamba as the capable leader needed to bring about genuine change in Delhi.

“Under the combined misgovernance of the BJP and AAP, Delhi has seen little progress. The BJP, despite its power at the Centre, has delivered nothing of substance for the capital, adopting an indifferent and dismissive stance. Meanwhile, the AAP has resorted to optical illusions and populist initiatives to deflect attention from its failures in critical areas such as pollution, education, and healthcare,” Reddy remarked. He emphasized, “The people of Delhi deserve a leader like Alka Lamba—one who not only makes promises but also has a proven record of delivering results. As the National President of the All India Mahila Congress, she has dedicated herself to empowering women, championing education, and strengthening grassroots governance. Her accomplishments are undeniable.”

Reddy went on to castigate the AAP government for its centralization of power and lack of accountability. “Marlena’s style of governance is characterized by theatrics that yield no real solutions. In contrast, Alka Lamba embodies a transparent, people-centric approach. Her campaign focuses on tackling pressing issues like corruption, inflation, and deteriorating infrastructure with sustainable solutions. Delhi stands on the brink of transformation, and Alka Lamba is the leader poised to facilitate it,” he concluded.

On November 23, the Honorable President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, will take center-stage to honor luminaries and emerging talents at the ‘Aaj Tak Sahitya Jagriti Samman’.

At the heart of this year’s celebration is the conferment of the prestigious ‘Aaj Tak Sahitya Jagriti Lifetime Achievement Award’ to Gulzar, one of India’s most iconic poets, lyricists, and filmmakers. A legend whose works transcend generations, Gulzar has shaped India’s literary and cinematic identity with masterpieces like ‘Raavi Paar,’ ‘Raat, Chaand aur Main,’ and unforgettable films such as ‘Aandhi,’ ‘Mausam,’ and ‘Maachis.’

Born in 1934 in Dina village (now in Pakistan), Gulzar—whose real name is Sampooran Singh Kalra—defied humble beginnings and early hardships to rise as a creative genius regarded and respects across the world. His journey from being a car mechanic to a literary giant is a testament to his passion and perseverance.

Born into a family of educators, Waseem's father, Prof. Javed Khan, was a renowned educationist, philanthropist, and social reformer who served as the Minister of Education, Housing, and Labour Welfare in the Government of Maharashtra. This legacy has inspired Waseem to drive change through education, empowering the youth to break free from the cycle of poverty and crime.

Waseem Javed's message is clear: the average life expectancy in Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar is just 39 years, a tragic reflection of systemic neglect and limited opportunities. Despite facing well-known challenges like drugs, crime, poor health, and pollution, the community is driven to transform their lives and demand basic dignity. He believes that access to meaningful employment, quality education, and a healthy environment is the bare minimum required to unlock their potential.

His agenda focuses on three key areas:

- Breaking the Cycle of Drugs and Crime: Creating inclusive job opportunities and skills development programs to offer youth a stable future.

- Empowering Youth through Education: Improving access to quality education and vocational training to equip young people with skills for dignified jobs.

- Tackling Pollution for a Healthier Community: Addressing pollution through practical solutions and inspiring community accountability.

For Waseem, this is more than just politics; it's a social reform movement to drive lasting change. His vision is one where the youth of this constituency can celebrate their 40th birthday with hope and accomplishment, not as a tragic milestone of a shortened life. To achieve this, Waseem Javed Khan focuses on practical solutions, including creating inclusive job opportunities, skills development programs, and better access to quality education and vocational training.

Tackling pollution is also high on Waseem Javed's agenda. He aims to address the environmental crisis through practical solutions and inspire the community to take accountability for their environment through innovative and sustainable approaches.

As a well-educated and passionate leader, Waseem has spent years understanding the complexities of Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar's challenges. His agenda is built around improving education, hygiene and health, employment opportunities, and creating a drug-free community.

The people of Govandi are rallying behind Waseem, sensing a chance for real reform. His popularity stems from his commitment to truth, service, and dedication to the future of Govandi. With Waseem at the helm, Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar can look forward to a brighter future.

Waseem Javed Khan's story is one of hope and resilience, inspiring communities across the country. As he prepares to take on the challenge of leading Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar towards a better tomorrow, his message resonates loud and clear: Govandi will change, Govandi will become better.

JR Choudhary — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 17:20:44 +0530

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], November 13: Local MLA Mr. Narendraji Bhondekar is working tirelessly to ensure that this holy land of Pavani, as we call Vidarbha, gets a special status. It has been decided to build a new Upazila Hospital for Pavani Taluka, which has received a generous fund of Rs 90 crores, which will have all infrastructure and basic facilities, and to modernize the Upazila Hospital for the people who have to go to Bhandara-Nagpur for their health. It has a hospital of its own right, where all the needs of the general public will be met, and the inconvenience caused from time to time will be removed. This hospital will be operational soon. This hospital will have modern treatment methods.

Bhandara is a beautiful district surrounded by nature and is also known as the lake district, for which the local MLA, Hon. Shri Narendraji Bhandekar, has taken up the task of deepening and beautifying the lake in Bhandara-Pavani assembly area and creating a garden there and has received funds of around 120 crores. Keeping in mind the feeling that all the local familiar people should have solitude and peace as well as a blissful atmosphere in the morning or evening and considering the daily increasing stress of work, this concept of Shri Narendraji Bhondekar will definitely be worthwhile. They are also working on this with the honest thought that the ponds outside the city where the Dhivar community earns its livelihood by providing a good employment opportunity for large-scale fishing.

One of the most important questions is whether the need for health will be met here; local MLA Ma Shri Narendraji Bhondekar has decided to review and build a new building for this Adyal Rural Hospital from time to time.

Bhandara-Pavani Municipal School

Nowadays, many private schools have been established, so parents who have a strong financial situation send their children to private schools, but the children of the poor are missing out on modern education. A fund of 17 crores has been made available for this with care.

For this, proper proposals have been submitted and approved, and these works have been started.

Wastewater is impure, used water. Sewage comes out from houses and industries, and this water is unfit for drinking. Sewage that accumulates around houses, on roads and in drains is hazardous to health. It also smells dirty, makes the road slippery with that water and gives mosquitoes a place to lay their eggs. The bites of these mosquitoes give people diseases like malaria. Such impure water is called sewage. Sewage is from toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, washing dishes, factories etc. It is generated from the use of water in the place. Sewage needs to be properly disposed of; Failure to do so endangers the health of citizens. This water also adversely affects the environment.

MLA Shri Narendra Bhondekar has foresight brought this project in Bhandara-Pavani Assembly Constituency to dispose of such waste water which is harmful to health, due to such projects, health problems will be reduced to a large extent, diseases caused by mosquitoes will be reduced and a huge fund of 350 crores will be taken from Madara. This work has been promoted by making it available. In the future, due to this project, other districts of Maharashtra will also demand such a project.

Dhargaon Sub-Irrigation Scheme

400 crore project will act as a life-saving scheme for thousands of farmers and hundreds of hectares of land. So in some areas where water is needed, this scheme will benefit all farmers and hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in that area.

Dabha-Sangwari Upsa Irrigation Scheme

135 crore project will work as a life-saving scheme for thousands of farmers and hundreds of hectares of land. So in some areas where water is needed, this scheme will benefit all farmers and hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in that area.

P.W.D. and Chief Minister’s Village Road Scheme and Bridges

For this, the local MLA Shri. Narendra Bhondekar has made funds of around 300 crores available. This will involve renovation and upgradation of dilapidated roads and bridges to make communication easier and travel comfortable.

Kondha SC Ashram School

Kondha Gram Panchayat, located on Bhandara-Pavani road, is an important Gram Panchayat, and many small villages are attached to this Gram Panchayat for the convenience of the students coming here for education. A new SC Ashram School is being prepared for which a fund of 40 crores has been made available. In this way, the students will have access to all the basic facilities and will be able to fulfill their needs.

Bhandara Court

In administrative works, MLA Shri Narendra Bhondekar has given the fight of works very well. Efforts are being made to create such mechanisms to speed up the work. An example of this is that Bhandara Court has received funds of Rs. 52 crores and started construction of a new building.

Bhandara District Theatre

MLA Shri Narendra Bhondekar has done the work of setting up a theater in the Bhandara district to nurture the heritage of cultural art and give scope to art. By getting a fund of 32 crores for this theatre, it is as if he has cultivated folk art.

Honour Sardar Manmohan Singh ji with 'Bharat Ratan': Namdhari Sikhs requested the government

JR Choudhary — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 15:51:13 +0530

(New Delhi) Namdhari Sikhs, being a Sikh sect; have requested the Government of India to honour Nation Saviour, Sikh Prime Minister, Sardar Manmohan Singh with “Bharat Ratan”. In press conference, organized at Constitutional Club, New Delhi: Namdhari Sikhs said "S. Manmohan Singh g will be the first Kesdhari-Sikh (Sikh with hairs), to be awarded with “Bharat Ratan” (although hairless can also be Sikhs). Therefore, he must be honored with Bharat Ratan".

Ranbir Singh said; With the grace of Satguru Ram Singh Ji and by the instructions of our present Guru; Thakur Dalip Singh Ji, we Namdhari Sikhs have written several letters to the government in this respect.

S. Manmohan Singh Ji was awarded "Padam Vibhushan" In 1987 by Government of India for his services to the nation. He was honored with “Order of King Abdulaziz” by Saudi Arabia in 2010 and “Order of the Paulownia Flowers” by Japan in 2014.

Namdhari Sikhs have highlighted several great achievements of S. Manmohan Singh Ji, which makes him a real deserving person for "Bharat Ratan". Like: In 1991, becoming Finance Minister, he rescued India from a dire situation of a bankrupt economy. The real credit for reviving Bharat’s economy goes to S. Manmohan Singh Ji. According to M.S.P.I.: during his tenure, independent India had the highest growth rate of 10.08% in 2006-07. Apart from this, his government achieved significant achievement by successfully finalizing the nuclear treaty between India and USA. He started extremely useful revolutionary “Aadhaar Card” scheme. His government also implemented the RTI Act, 2005, which is one of the most effective laws in combating corruption and promoting transparency in BHARAT's history.

To create friendly relations between India, Brazil and South Africa, Dr. Manmohan Singh, established I.B.S.A. (India, Brazil, South Africa) Dialogue Forum. In 2005, the MNREGA Act was passed, which ensured economic security of poor families. Similarly, to deal with crimes committed against the security & sovereignty of India; he established the National Investigation Agency (N.I.A.) in 2008. "Peace Pipeline Project" was initiated in 2009, to connect Indian subcontinent with Iran's gas resources. In 2013, “National Health Mission” was launched to improve maternal and child health. These initiatives strengthened Bharat's internal policies and enhanced India's position at the international level.

Lakhwinder Singh said that B.J.P. government has made it clear that B.J.P. respect the great personalities of India by rising above party politics. It has honoured previous Prime Ministers ‘Narasimha Rao’ and ‘Chaudhary Charan Singh’ with “Bharat Ratan”; despite being Prime Ministers of opposition parties. In the same way, S. Manmohan Singh should be honored by B.J.P. with “Bharat Ratan”. He also said "as all B.J.P. members and B.J.P. dignitaries of government: have devotion for Sikhs Guru Ji. If B.J.P. Government, will honor S. Manmohan Singh as a "nation Saviour Sikh Prime Minister", with “Bharat Ratan”; then B.J.P.'s devotion and love towards Sikh religion will become clearly evident.

Ratandeep Singh again requested Government that S. Manmohan Singh is aged and his health is not good. Therefore, by accepting the request of Namdhari Sikhs: please honor S. Manmohan Singh during his lifetime with “Bharat Ratan”.

In the end, Gurdeep Kaur said that no one asked us to request for giving “Bharat Ratan” to him. Being a “Nationalist & Sikh” present Namdhari Guru Ji, has initiated this independent thought that S. Manmohan Singh must be honored with “Bharat Ratan”.

Youth leader and educationist Waseem Javed Khan is on a mission to drive change through education, with "Envelope" as his election symbol, running as an independent candidate for Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar.

As we celebrate “National Education Day", Khan's Campaign Ignites Change with the promise for a Better Future for the residents of Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar Constituency No.171.

A commitment to Accessible Education

Inspired by his father, the esteemed leader and visionary Late Professor Jawed Khan, known for his contributions in the field of education, Waseem Jawed is committed to improving the lives of the people in Govandi, where his father served tirelessly.

Empowering Change through Education, Khan has impacted the lives of over 100,000 students across 13 institutes spanning four campuses. An Engineer with a Masters in Computers Science from the United States, he understands the pressing challenges today's youth face, such as shifting educational demands and employment obstacles. To address these issues, Khan advocates for innovative pathways that go beyond conventional routes, providing the guidance and direction that the younger generation needs to thrive.

The Envelope: A Symbol of Transparency and Communication

Waseem explains the importance of his election symbol: “The envelope represents transparency, open communication, and my commitment to reaching every resident of Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar. I pledge to advocate for your future. Just as an envelope carries important messages, I will convey your concerns and aspirations to the heart of governance. Together, we can ensure that every letter symbolizes a commitment to progress, inclusivity, and accountability, leaving no one behind.”

As one of the most educated candidates in Maharashtra, Waseem has taken a strong stance against critical issues such as addiction, inadequate education and poor infrastructure and healthcare services that hinder the growth of Govandi and undermine the fundamental rights of its residents.

Khan brings renewed hope and opportunities for growth to the Govandi Mankhurd constituency. The community has suffered from the indifference of previous leaders who have neglected pressing local issues. Frustrated and disillusioned, residents are eager for a leader who exemplifies integrity—someone educated, non-corrupt, and wholly committed to serving the people.

Mr. Waseem Javed Khan is ready to make that transformative difference, igniting a movement to protect the community and pave the way for a brighter future. Together, let’s build a new Govandi where every voice is heard and every dream is realized.

In line with its mission, Carter Clean-Up and Greenmyna envision this confluence as a stepping stone towards a nationwide cleanup initiative addressing pollution's root causes.

Remembering Ratan Tata: A true jewel of India

JR Choudhary — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 18:45:16 +0530

Shahnaz Husain, CMD Shahnaz Husain Group with Late Shri Ratan Tata

Mr. Ratan Naval Tata was a rare jewel, a man who, through his actions and words, embodied both an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep-rooted patriotism. I recall one brief but unforgettable encounter with him that reaffirmed his exceptional character, not only as a business leader but as someone who profoundly loved and believed in his country.

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Tata, albeit briefly, during an event that celebrated the achievements of Indian enterprises on the global stage. When introduced to him, he greeted me with a warm smile and, in his characteristic understated manner, said, “You have taken Ayurveda to the world, I have taken India to the world.” Those words, so simple yet powerful, have stayed with me ever since. They revealed a profound truth about the man, his enduring commitment to India and his pride in being its ambassador to the world.

His life encapsulated his deep belief in Indian values and illustrates the respect he had for his roots. Mr. Tata was a torchbearer for our nation, a man who embodied integrity and an unyielding dedication to India’s growth and reputation on the world stage. His legacy will forever shine as a guiding light, cherished in the hearts of countless Indians who recognize the unparalleled contributions he made to Indian business and consciousness throughout his life.Reflecting on his journey, it becomes clear that he was much more than a business magnate. Mr. Tata showcased to the world how capable India is of standing tall in the global economy and how we can project ourselves as an independent, developed nation with an indomitable spirit. His achievements are a testament to his visionary outlook, one that empowered not just his own enterprises but also ignited a spark of innovation and confidence across India. He demonstrated that we have the resources, talent, and resolve to excel on the global stage.

As I write this, a wave of melancholy washes over me. The feeling of loss is personal and overwhelming, knowing that we’ve bid farewell to such an incredible individual. He was a patriot in the truest sense, a man who loved India as much as he lived for it. His contributions were not merely in the realm of business, he left an indelible mark on the very soul of our nation, reminding us all of what it means to serve something greater than oneself.

In Mr. Tata, we have lost not only a brilliant mind but also an astounding personality, endowed with rare qualities and a heart that was as generous as it was resilient. It’s hard to imagine another like him walking among us again—a person who lived with such purpose and who loved with such depth. His life was a testament to excellence, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.

Today, as we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the life of a man who transformed the landscape of Indian industry and etched his name in our hearts. Ratan Tata’s memory will endure, a shining example of what it means to be a true patriot and a leader. He was, and will always remain, a perfect embodiment of strength, honor, and compassion—a man India was privileged to call her own.

Rest in peace, Mr. Tata. The nation salutes you, and we thank you for everything.

Rahul Gandhi Stands for All Religions, Pawan Kalyan Should Focus on Andhra's Issues Says AICC Leader Chaitanya Reddy

JR Choudhary — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 16:52:58 +0530

Andhra Pradesh : The recent comments made by Pawan Kalyan, the founder of the Jana Sena Party, have caused a stir among the political landscape in Andhra Pradesh. Chaitanya Reddy, leader of the Kissan Congress Committee (AICC), has strongly condemned Kalyan's remarks regarding Rahul Gandhi, Opposition leader in the parliament.

Chaitanya stated, "Pawan Kalyan has no right to comment on Rahul Gandhi, who is a strong devotee of Hindu gods and all other religious gods. Rahul Ji's criticism of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi regarding the Ayodhya issue was a factual assessment, as evident from the BJP's failure in the matter." Chaitanya also urged Pawan Kalyan to tell the people what reforms he has made to secure forests and protect wild animals in order to save the environment.

Kalyan's recent attempt to use the Tirumala Laddu issue as a political ploy to sway voters ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections has been widely criticized. Chaitanya labeled this move as a "big drama" aimed at diverting public attention from the Andhra Pradesh government's failure to fulfill its promises, particularly in the aftermath of the devastating floods.

"The government has failed to provide a clear account of the damages and losses caused by the floods. We don't know how many people died, how many were injured, how much crop damage occurred, or how many cattle were lost. The government has also not disclosed the full extent of its relief efforts and the number of beneficiaries," Chaitanya said.

Chaitanya further emphasized that Kalyan's comments on Rahul Gandhi were unwarranted, as the Congress leader has always stood for the rights of all religious communities, including Hindus. He urged Kalyan to withdraw his remarks and instead focus on addressing the pressing issues faced by the people of Andhra Pradesh.

According to the press release, the Andhra Pradesh government has failed to provide comprehensive data on the impact of the recent floods, with no clear information on the number of casualties, injuries, crop damage, or livestock losses. The government's relief efforts and the number of affected citizens who have received aid also remain unclear.

Chaitanya called on Pawan Kalyan to prioritize the state's development and address the concerns of the people, rather than engaging in divisive politics. He emphasized that Rahul Gandhi enjoys the support of all religious communities, including Hindus, and that Kalyan's comments were unwarranted and unhelpful.

History gives every country a period when it multiplies its development journey. In a way, this is the golden age of that country. This is the Golden Age (Amritkal) for India. This is the period in India's history when the country is about to take a giant leap. There are many examples of such countries around us, which have made similar leaps and bounds in their development within a certain period of time.

People like Huns, Yurthis, Turks, Afghans, Mughals, etc. during the Middle Ages and many cultures like Dutch, Valanda, British etc. during the modern times have included many cultures, languages, religions and sects in themselves.

'Rahul Gandhi's Family Sacrificed for India, BJP Leaders Should Respect Their Legacy,' Says Kisan Congress Leader Chaitanya Reddy

JR Choudhary — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 15:41:53 +0530

Chaitanya Reddy Quote : "It is shameful to see BJP leaders barking at Rahul Gandhi, a member of a family that has sacrificed so much for this country."

New Delhi, 25 September, 2024: In response to the recent barrage of criticism from BJP leaders against Rahul Gandhi, S. Krishna Chaitanya Reddy, the National Joint Coordinator of Kisan Congress, has come forward to defend the Gandhi family's legacy and their unwavering commitment to the nation.

"It is shameful to see BJP leaders barking at Rahul Gandhi, a member of a family that has sacrificed so much for this country," said Chaitanya Reddy. "The Gandhi family, particularly Rahul's father, the late Rajiv Gandhi, has a long history of humanitarian service and selfless dedication to the betterment of India."

Chaitanya Reddy went on to highlight the exemplary contributions of Rahul Gandhi's father, Rajiv Gandhi, who served as the Prime Minister of India from 1984 to 1989. "Rajiv Gandhi was a visionary leader who played a crucial role in the country's technological and economic advancement. He was also a great humanitarian who extended a helping hand to those in need, including the BJP veteran, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, when he required medical assistance."

Chaitany Reddy's quote also took a swipe at the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, stating that he "is nowhere equal to the leaders of the past, such as Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee." Chaitanya Reddy further accused Modi of "spreading violence for religious vote bank," while asserting that Rahul Gandhi "spreads love and nation progress."

Chaitanya Reddy concluded by emphasizing that the real BJP leaders, who have been with the party for years, will stand with Rahul Gandhi, as they "know how Advani ji was tactfully kept away" from the party's leadership.

Dr. Priyanka Maurya Appointed to Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission by Yogi Adityanath Government

JR Choudhary — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 14:17:41 +0530

Dr. Priyanka Maurya, a famous homeopathic physician, social worker, and BJP leader has been appointed by the Yogi Adityanath government of the state of Uttar Pradesh to be a member of its Women Commission. Known for being the face of the Congress campaign "Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon" during the 2022 assembly elections, now Dr. Maurya begins this new chapter in her journey with the political service for the BJP. Her appointment to the Women's Commission speaks volumes about her endless effort towards women's empowerment and impactful contribution to social causes across Uttar Pradesh.

She was announced as the face of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's manifesto on women's issues in 2022 during the assembly elections. She symbolized Congress's campaign to empower women; however, later she raised objections against how Congress's campaign was conducted and expressed her public discontentment with the party's inner workings. She said she was one among these "deserving" ticket holders, denied a seat because she could not afford it. She says: "Congress used me to their benefit for getting the OBC votes, but they had already decided to give the ticket to some other person." Since this incident occurred, Dr. Maurya quit Congress and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). And she has been campaigning for many other candidates ever since.

She is a postgraduate with more than 10 years of work experience in social service and has worked associated with some of the loftiest social initiatives in India. She is the founder member of Neki Ki Deewar in Lucknow, an initiative to reach the underprivileged. She is also the National Coordinator for Roti Bank and a National Vice President for the Shambhuka Foundation. Ministry of State Shri Kaushal Kishore has mobilized virtually every significant work she has initiated by the organization, such as drug awareness programs across most districts in Uttar Pradesh. She's a huge social media fan, with over 1 million followers whom she inspires and keeps signed in with causes for social issues, especially women's empowerment and health.

Beyond her very busy political life, Dr Priyanka Maurya is a highly respected homeopathic doctor and consultant. She offered free medical consultation to thousands of people when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. She ran various health campaigns on cleanliness, hygiene, food nutrition, and other health-related issues. Numerous prestigious awards recognized her endless efforts, such as the Women of Excellence in 2020 and the RedFM Achievers Award in 2021, which repositioned her as a dedicated professional and caring social worker.

She is a member of the Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission and promised to resolve women's issues with the newly found energy. The most daunting challenge women face today is still the domestic violence," according to her. "People should respect them as they have respect," says Dr. Maurya, "though we speak about the empowerment of women, women are not yet empowered and not provided with proper support or opportunities to rise." They overcome all the obstacles when they move forward. The people want them to fall back, but she has vowed to stand on a working vision to overcome these obstacles for women and garner the rightful rights and respect women deserve.

A hardcore votary of the cause of hard work and perseverance, Dr Maurya has always believed so. She thanked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other senior BJP leaders for trusting her with this exposure at the state level after being nominated as a member of the Women Commission. She said, "Hard work is the key to success and it is due to my hard work that I have reached this level." I will keep on working hard for the people of Uttar Pradesh, especially women who face issues at home and in society." Now, as a member of the Women's Commission, she can bring changes in the administrative arena regarding these issues and make a difference.

Dr Priyanka Maurya can be best described as a political campaign face to that of a senior leader in the BJP and now a member of the Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission. Perhaps perseverance, commitment, and dedication to social justice have taken her a long way in this journey, but she is all set to play out a telling role in this new assignment by pushing the cause of women's rights and empowerment in Uttar Pradesh.

Our partnership with NLSIU reflects JSW’s commitment to creating world-class educational opportunities that empower future leaders."

Sarpanch Pandurang Suryavanshi Rejoins BJP, Citing Strong Leadership of Devendra Fadnavis

JR Choudhary — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 14:18:19 +0530

Vaijapur, Balegaon: In a notable political development, Pandurang Suryavanshi, the Sarpanch of Balegaon, has officially rejoined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), signaling a strategic realignment ahead of the upcoming elections. Suryavanshi's return to the BJP comes after a brief stint with the Shivbatha Party, where he was under the leadership of Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray.

Suryavanshi cited his confidence in the leadership of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as a primary factor in his decision to rejoin the BJP. He emphasized that Fadnavis’s vision for the state and commitment to development resonate with the aspirations of the local community.

In a statement addressing his constituents, Suryavanshi remarked, "The BJP represents a progressive vision for our future, and I am excited to contribute to this mission. Under Devendra Fadnavis's leadership, I believe we can bring about significant change and uplift our community."

Additionally, he expressed gratitude to Mihir Kulkarni for his unwavering support during this transition, acknowledging the encouragement he received as he navigated his political journey.

This development is poised to invigorate the local BJP cadre, providing a boost to the party's grassroots efforts as they gear up for the elections. Suryavanshi’s re-entry into the party is expected to strengthen BJP's position in the region, enhancing its outreach and engagement with voters.

Political analysts suggest that Suryavanshi's move could influence other local leaders contemplating a shift back to the BJP, particularly as the party aims to consolidate its influence in Maharashtra. As the political landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on how this strategic realignment impacts the upcoming electoral contest in the region.

Assam Kissan Congress Co-in-charge Krishna Chaitanya Reddy Demands President's Rule in Assam Citing Grave Law and Order Situation and Constitutional Violations by Chief Minister

JR Choudhary — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 16:32:14 +0530

Assam, September 09, 2024 : The Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress and its Co-in-charge Sathi Krishna Chaitanya Reddy, Joint Coordinator of All India Kissan Congress, have demanded the imposition of President's Rule in Assam due to the very serious law and order situation in the state and the gross violations of the provisions of the Constitution of India by Dr. Himanta Biswa Sharma, the Chief Minister of Assam.

In a meeting held today, the Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress representatives highlighted several concerning incidents and actions by the Chief Minister that have created a climate of fear and unrest in the state.

Recently, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sharma, in an executive meeting of the Assam State BJP, claimed himself to be a "mad dog." As per the provisions of the Indian Constitution, a person of unsound mind is disqualified from holding any constitutional post.

Over the past two years, Dr. Sharma has made a series of hate-filled and provocative statements, even in the Assam Assembly, targeting a particular religious community, namely the Muslim community. One year ago, he had incited the youth to evict people belonging to the Muslim minority community from Guwahati, who were earning their livelihood as vegetable vendors, rickshaw pullers, private drivers, and laborers in the construction and other sectors.

The Guwahati High Court had recently reprimanded the Assam Government for using bulldozers to demolish the houses of Muslim families in Batadrava, Nagaon District, and directed the government to pay compensation to the affected families. Despite this, Dr. Sharma has continued to make provocative statements against the Muslim community, and has carried out eviction drives in several places inhabited by the Muslim population, further fueling hatred.

The Kissan Congress representatives also highlighted the instances of corruption involving Dr. Sharma, his wife, and children, with their illegal property holdings across the country and abroad being exposed by various media outlets in Assam.

Additionally, the law and order situation in Assam has deteriorated to an alarming level, with the highest number of police encounters and deaths in the country, as per the reports placed by the government in parliament. Killings, dacoity, rape, and murder have become a regular occurrence under Dr. Sharma's rule.

The Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress has expressed grave concerns over the current situation in the state and has demanded the immediate imposition of President's Rule to restore the constitutional order and safeguard the rights of all citizens in Assam.

The meeting was organised by Mr. Hari Prasad Saikia - Chairman, Assam Kissan Congress, attended by Mr. Tridib Sarma - Vice Chairman, Assa. Kissan Congress, Dr. Nazrul Kazi - General Secretary, Assam Kissan Congress, and other representatives.

New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, September 03, 2024: In response to the ongoing crisis in Andhra Pradesh due to cyclone and heavy rains, the All India Kissan Congress has appointed Sathi Krishna Chaitanya Reddy as the Flood Relief Coordinator for the state.

The appointment was made by Akhilesh Shukla, Vice Chairman of the All India Kissan Congress, on the directive of the Hon'ble Chairman Shri Sukhpal Singh Khaira.

In the appointment letter, Akhilesh Shukla expressed deep sadness over the crisis faced by the state and emphasized the urgent need for coordinated relief efforts. He stated, "I am appointing you as the Flood Relief Coordinator in Andhra Pradesh responsible for overseeing flood relief efforts."

As the Flood Relief Coordinator, Krishna Chaitanya Reddy's key responsibilities will include:

1. Flood Relief Management: Coordinate and monitor relief efforts, ensuring timely assistance reaches the affected people.

2. Legal Support: Address legal challenges faced by flood victims and provide necessary support.

3. Party Representation: Uphold the party's values while leading these critical initiatives.

Akhilesh Shukla expressed trust in Reddy's leadership qualities, stating that they will significantly impact the ongoing challenge. The All India Kissan Congress is committed to standing with the people of Andhra Pradesh during this difficult time.

In the wake of the devastating floods affecting Andhra Pradesh, Chaitanya Reddy, who serves as the National Joint Coordinator of the Kissan Congress, has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing and coordinating the flood relief efforts across the affected regions, particularly in Vijayawada City and the surrounding areas along the Krishna River.

According to Reddy, the floods caused by the recent cyclone and heavy rains have caused immense damage, with many areas submerged in 4-5 feet of water. "The situation is critical, and the people are in dire need of basic necessities like drinking water, food, medicine, and power," he said. "The state government is doing something, but it is not enough to restore normalcy."

Chaitanya Reddy has urged the Andhra Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, to act swiftly and effectively in addressing the plight of the flood victims. He has also demanded that the government assess the losses of crops and cattle and provide appropriate compensation to the affected farmers.

Furthermore, Chaitanya Reddy has called for the implementation of the HYDRA (Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection) system in Andhra Pradesh, similar to the one in Telangana. This system aims to protect government lands, ponds, and nalas from encroachment, and provide a wide range of services to the citizens in accordance with the fast expansion of the city.

"This is a time for all political parties to come together and prioritize the well-being of the people," said Reddy. "We must rise above partisan politics and work towards restoring normalcy and ensuring the safety and security of the affected communities."

The All India Kissan Congress has assured its full support and commitment to the flood relief efforts in Andhra Pradesh, and it has urged the state government to act with urgency and compassion to alleviate the suffering of the people.

Widow Receives ₹4.5 Crore Settlement and High Court Quashes FIR

JR Choudhary — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 16:21:03 +0530

Mumbai : The Bombay High Court has recently quashed an FIR following a settlement reached between the parties involved, marking a significant moment for justice in a complicated case. The respondents’ advocate, Mubarakka Lokhandwala, along with Adv Vijay Jha, successfully argued for the dismissal of the FIR, citing the agreed-upon compensation of ₹4.5 crore received by their client, Ms. Meena Tawrani.

The case initially involved allegations of cheating, where five individuals were remanded to judicial custody for failing to deliver a flat that Ms. Tawrani had purchased for ₹1 crore. This situation not only caused financial distress but also emotional turmoil for the elderly widow, raising broader concerns about the treatment of vulnerable individuals in the legal system.

Ms. Tawrani's lawyer, Ghanshyam Upadhyay, expressed serious concerns regarding the investigation process, claiming that the investigation officer (IO) may have acted in collusion with the accused. He pointed out, "Usually, police custody is sought during the second remand. However, in this case, the police asked for judicial custody, which is shocking."

The High Court’s decision to quash the FIR highlights the effectiveness of settlements in resolving civil disputes and underscores the importance of ensuring fair treatment for all individuals within the legal framework. This case serves as a critical reminder of the complexities involved in legal matters, particularly for those seeking justice against more powerful adversaries.

JR Choudhary — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 15:19:04 +0530

Shravasti (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 13: In a remarkable move towards sustainable development and water conservation, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India Private Limited, a global leader in digital imaging and document management solutions under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative ‘Project Pravah’, has inaugurated a series of newly constructed check dams in Shravasti District. This project, implemented by Manav Vikas Sanstha, a leading NGO known for its significant contributions to environmental sustainability and healthcare, marks a significant step forward for the local community. These water conservation structures shall control the flow of water and effectively utilise these natural resources, especially during unpredictable rain.

With ‘Pravah’, Konica Minolta and Manav Vikas Sanstha shall be constructing check dams to effectively manage rainwater, improve soil fertility, and enhance the overall quality of life for the region’s residents. By harnessing the power of water conservation, Pravah seeks to contribute significantly to the six crucial Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of No Poverty, Good Health & Well-being, Clean Water & Sanitation, Sustainable Cities & Communities, Responsible Consumption & Production, and Climate Action.

The inauguration ceremony, held in July, was a vibrant affair, attended by local farmers, community leaders, and representatives from both Konica Minolta and Manav Vikas Sanstha. The atmosphere was one of hope and optimism as the community gathered to witness the fruition of a project that has transformed their lives.

A Community Transformed

The check dams, strategically constructed across various locations in Shravasti District, are designed to harness and store rainwater, thereby addressing the region’s perennial issue of water scarcity. These structures will be crucial in replenishing groundwater levels and ensuring a reliable water supply for agricultural activities and daily needs. The project is expected to benefit over 6,868 individuals cumulatively.

One of Project Pravah’s unique aspects is its holistic approach. Beyond the construction of check dams, the initiative includes comprehensive training for local farmers in organic farming. This training aims to promote sustainable agricultural practices, reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers, and increase crop yields in an eco-friendly manner.

Corporate Commitment to Sustainability

Commenting on the project going live, Mr. Katsuhisa Asari, Managing Director, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, said, “Immunising our nation’s farmers against climate variability can lend critical support to their agricultural lands in a way that is contextually relevant and effectively integrated into the region’s development plans. Establishing a water user group, the efforts in Pravah will bring forth a participatory approach, empowering local communities to take ownership of their natural resources while being the prime beneficiaries of their efforts. With the multitude of SDGs we fulfill with Pravah, we hope that the challenges of water scarcity in Motipur and Gabbapur Kalan will see relief and set the tone for a thriving rural economy in the identified villages.”

At the inauguration ceremony, Ms. Ayushi Jain, Deputy CSR Manager, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, commented, “Today marks a momentous occasion for Shravasti District and Konica Minolta’s commitment to sustainable development. Through ‘Project Pravah,’ we are addressing water scarcity with these check dams and empowering local farmers with organic farming training to enhance their livelihoods.”

Voices From The Ground

Mr. Rajesh Kumar, a local farmer who participated in the organic farming training, shared his enthusiasm: “This project is a blessing for us. The check dams will ensure we have enough water for our crops, and the training has opened our eyes to new farming techniques. We’re excited to see the benefits in the coming seasons.”

Chief Executive Officer Manav Vikas Sanstha highlighted the broader impact of the initiative. “Our goal is not just to address immediate water needs but to create a sustainable Agriculture model that other regions in the nation can replicate,” says Mr. Akul Vashishtha. “The support from Konica Minolta has been instrumental in making this vision a reality. This vision goes hand in glove with the priorities outlined by the Government of India to promote Productivity and Resilience in the Indian Agriculture landscape.”

As the community of Shravasti looks ahead to a future with improved water availability and sustainable farming practices, the inauguration of these check dams stands as a beacon of hope and progress. Project Pravah exemplifies the power of collaboration between corporate entities and NGOs in driving meaningful change.

India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA) hosts the first edition of Bharat Dalhan Seminar 2024 focusing on indigenous pulses production and policy reforms

JR Choudhary — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 17:22:31 +0530

The landmark seminar organised at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi was supported by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Govt. of India; Department of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare Government of India; NITI Aayog; ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR), and Global Pulse Confederation

Delhi : India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA), the apex body of India’s pulses and grains industry and trade as well as the knowledge hub of the global pulses sector successfully hosted the first edition of Bharat Dalhan Seminar 2024 focusing on indigenous pulses production and policy reforms at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi on 9th August, 2024.

The landmark seminar was supported by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Govt. of India; Department of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare Government of India; NITI Aayog; ICAR- Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR) and Global Pulse Confederation. The seminar is a step towards realising IPGA’s vision to make the Indian pulses and grains sector globally competitive and advance India’s food and nutrition security.

Bharat Dalhan Seminar 2024 commenced with a lamp-lighting ceremony in the august presence of distinguished dignitaries, including Shri. B. L. Verma, Hon’ble Minister of State for the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, GOI; Mrs. Nimuben Jayantibhai Bambhaniya, Minister of Parliament Bhavnagar Lok Sabha, Minister of State, Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution; Shri. Mitesh Patel, Member of Parliament, Anand, Loksabha, Gujarat; Dr. Ashok Gulati, Distinguished Professor, ICRIER, Former Chairman CACP, GOI; Shri. Vijay Paul Sharma, Chairman, CACP, GOI; Mr. Vijay Iyengar, President, Global Pulse Confederation, Mr. Bimal Kothari, Chairman, IPGA; and Mr. Manek Gupta – Vice Chairman IPGA. Besides there were representations from several countries including Australia, Argentina and Brazil.

The seminar attracted over 700 delegates including regional associations, millers, promotional agencies, research scientists, food technologists, processing companies, value chain participants, service providers and related others to discuss opportunities and challenges of Indian Pulses.

Shri. B. L. Verma, Hon’ble Minister of State for Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food And Public Distribution, GOI said, “Over the past five years, grain production has increased from 21.1 million tons to 22.7 million tons, while consumption has grown from 22.7 million tons to 24.6 million tons. There remains an opportunity to balance this demand and supply. However, with looming water scarcity, the extensive cultivation of rice is not sustainable. Shifting focus to Pulses production could help India achieve self-reliance in this area. Farmers are receiving fair prices for Pulses, and the government has set Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) to further support them.”

He further added, “Our Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has introduced various programs and initiatives to assist farmers. For example, before his tenure, during the UPA era under Manmohan Singh, the budget for farmers was ₹21,900 crore. Under Modi’s administration, this budget increased to ₹25,000 crore in 2014 and now stands at ₹1,52,000 crore. Additionally, through the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, ₹3,24,000 crore has been directly transferred to nearly 11 crore farmers, with each receiving ₹2,000.”

Mr. Bimal Kothari, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA) said, “Pulses production has steadily increased over the past decade. According to the Agriculture Ministry's 3rd Advance Estimate, pulses production in 2015-16 was 16.3 million tons. This has risen to 24.5 million tons in 2023-24. Over the last five years, the average production has been between 24 to 25 million tons, yet the demand is anticipated to be around 30-32 million tons. 2024 has been an exceptional year for Pulses production, particularly due to favorable South-West monsoons in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat. If moderate rains continue into August and September, we are optimistic about surpassing last year’s production, which was impacted by heavy rainfall. We need long term vision and policy measures to sustain the availability of pulses to fulfil the demand and keep food inflation in control.”

Mr. Vijay Iyengar, President, Global Pulses Confederation said, “India, as the world's largest producer, consumer, and importer of Pulses enjoys a significant position in advancing and expanding the global Pulses trade and industry. We appreciate IPGA’s role in providing knowledge, disseminating information, encouraging dialogue and promoting transparency amongst the key stakeholders of the global pulses sector through such critical platforms.” ‎

Shri. Vijay Paul Sharma, Chairman, CACP, GOI said, “Since lentil production is highly concentrated in specific districts, any adverse weather can significantly impact the entire output. To mitigate this risk, it's crucial that we invest efforts across all states and regions to enhance productivity. We must prioritize areas where pulse production remains resilient against weather and other external factors. Pulses also offer a much higher rate of profitability for farmers compared to other crops, making it essential to focus on improving productivity and reducing cultivation costs. As pulses become more profitable with fewer inputs, farmers will naturally gravitate towards them, but we currently lack sufficient support in this area. There are three critical areas where we must concentrate our efforts. First, we need to intensify research and development to create crop varieties that are more sustainable in the face of climate change. Second, the shelf life of crops today is shorter than in the past, so we must work on enhancing the quality and sustainability of pulses and other crops to extend their shelf life. Lastly, it is vital to ensure that farmers receive competitive prices and returns for these crops, supported by stable policies to sustain this growth."

Dr. Ashok Gulati, Distinguished Professor, ICRIER, Former Chairman CACP, GOI said, “to be aatmanirbhar in the pulses sector, we need change. Government must encourage subsidies for the pulses farmers to achieve self-sufficiency in pulses. Incentives such as Rs. 35,000 per hectare to those farmers who are willing to switch from paddy production to pulses, oilseeds or even millets should be announced. Such measures will help save the state government on power subsidy and central government on fertiliser subsidy hence both governments must be aligned in the best interest of farmers and the agriculture sector.”

Over the past seven years, the Indian Pulses sector has experienced numerous short-term policy changes and reactive decisions that have negatively impacted farmers, traders, and other stakeholders in the value chain. The seminar highlighted the critical need for a liberal and long-term policy framework to overcome these bottlenecks and ensure a stable supply of Pulses to meet the rising demand. Through in-depth discussions, the event addressed these issues and developed a strategic roadmap for bolstering domestic Pulses production.

The seminar served as a comprehensive platform for discussing and strategizing the future of Pulses production in India, focusing on increasing indigenous production and bridging the demand-supply gap. A significant highlight of the event was the release of the "Handbook for Pulse Millers" by IPGA to provide vital information on India's regulatory requirements for dal mills and quality standards in dal processing. This handbook aims to enhance the efficiency and resilience of the Pulses value chain, addressing industry challenges and fostering trust within the business.

Key topics covered during the seminar included the necessity for a liberal long-term policy framework for the Pulses trade, the importance of increasing indigenous Pulses production, and strategies to ensure the availability of Pulses commensurate with the growing demand. Additionally, the discussions emphasized the inclusion and consumption of Pulses in the Indian diet, highlighting their nutritional benefits.

IPGA is committed to leveraging the insights and discussions from the Bharat Dalhan Seminar 2024 to implement proactive measures that align with the objectives of the government, industry, and farmers. The seminar also addressed critical issues facing the pulses sector, featured a series of insightful panel discussions that paved the way for a sustainable and prosperous future for all stakeholders involved. Key topics included the "Chana and Kabuli Market Outlook," "Dal Mill Modernization & Opportunities in the Modern Storage System," the "Yellow Peas Market Outlook," and “Market outlook on Mung, Tur and Urad production of Kharif crop”, each explored in depth by industry experts, providing valuable perspectives to guide future initiatives.

Innovative Policing: How Madhya Pradesh Police is Using Social Media for Better Service

JR Choudhary — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:53:44 +0530

Madhya Pradesh (India), July 10: In a significant move, the Madhya Pradesh Police Department has embarked on an innovative initiative by leveraging social media platforms to conduct surveys. While platforms like Twitter yielded more critical feedback during the survey’s brief window, this initiative underscores the department’s commitment to embracing modern tools for public engagement.

This contemporary approach builds on a previous initiative from 2022, where the MP Police conducted a traditional academic survey to gauge public sentiment and assess their performance. The structured feedback collected back then was instrumental in refining their services. The current shift to social media aims to capture a broader, more immediate spectrum of public opinion.

However, the inherent vulnerabilities of social media, such as the misuse of automated bots, pose inherent challenges. This potential bias in the campaigns can lead MP Police to reconsider their strategy. To ensure genuine feedback, the department may avoid social media platforms for future surveys, instead using authenticated links shared via official handles can come into action. This will ensure that responses come from real individuals, resulting in more reliable data.

Engaging directly with citizens on social media signifies a progressive approach to modern policing. By actively listening to public opinions, the MP Police can pinpoint areas for improvement and better cater to community needs.

Interactive Online Presence

The Madhya Pradesh Police maintains a robust presence on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, sharing insightful and awareness-driven content. Their posts include:

– Safety Tips: Practical advice on personal safety, road safety, and cyber security.

– Awareness Campaigns: Information on laws, rights, and police services to educate the public.

– Success Stories: Highlights of operations like reuniting missing persons, fostering trust and appreciation.

– Engagement Posts: Interactive content such as quizzes, feedback requests, and community polls.

Recent Milestones

The department’s recent significant initiatives include:

– Improving traffic management to reduce congestion and promote road safety.

– Increasing security through Anti-Naxal operations.

– Successfully reuniting missing persons with their families under Operation Muskan.

– Enhancing safety measures for vulnerable groups.

The Role of Social Media in Policing

An active social media presence facilitates crucial two-way communication, building trust and understanding. By being receptive to feedback, the department positions itself as a learning and adaptive organization.

Vision for Tomorrow

The Madhya Pradesh Police Department’s engagement on social media sets a positive precedent for other police departments to emulate. Direct citizen feedback fosters a stronger relationship between the police and the public, contributing to a safer society. Through a transparent and responsive approach, this model of community policing emphasizes citizen trust and collaboration in law enforcement.

Empowering Adivasi Youth: The Inspiring Journey of MIAM Charitable Trust Police Training Academy

JR Choudhary — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 17:01:11 +0530

In the tranquil village of Wagera, nestled near the border of Maharashtra and Gujarat, a beacon of hope shines bright for thirty Adivasi students aspiring to join the police force. Their dreams were once shackled by the harsh realities of poverty and lack of opportunities, but today, they are being nurtured and empowered by the visionary initiative of Nitu Joshi and the MIAM Charitable Trust Police Training Academy.

Wagera village, located 35 kilometers from Nasik, is a place where aspirations often clash with the harshness of everyday life. Despite the proximity to a major city like Nasik, the lack of proper transport infrastructure has long been a barrier for the Adivasi youth in pursuing their dreams of a career in the police force. The journey to Nasik seemed like an insurmountable challenge for these students, who come from families struggling to make ends meet, where even two square meals a day are not guaranteed.

The turning point in the lives of these aspiring young individuals came when Mr. Ganpat Kalubai Bendkoli, a compassionate soul who recognized the potential of the Adivasi youth, reached out to Nitu Joshi, the founder of the MIAM Charitable Trust. Mr. Bendkoli shared with Nitu the immense difficulties faced by the Adivasi students, highlighting their struggles and the challenges they encountered in their journey towards becoming police officers. Inspired by their resilience and determination, Nitu Joshi and the MIAM Charitable Trust took a monumental step forward - they decided to rent out a place and establish their own academy right in Wagera village itself.

The MIAM Charitable Trust Police Training Academy became a ray of hope for these thirty Adivasi students, offering them a platform to receive comprehensive training from physical fitness exams to written tests. What sets this academy apart is not just the quality of education it provides, but also the holistic support system it offers to the students. Understanding the financial constraints and hardship faced by the students and their families, the academy provides free of cost services such as T-shirts, shoes, books, and access to dedicated teachers who are committed to nurturing the potential of these talented individuals.

The impact of this initiative goes beyond just academic and physical training. It is a symbol of empowerment, breaking the cycle of poverty and despair that has gripped the Adivasi community for generations. The parents of these students, who themselves struggle to make ends meet, are filled with hope and pride seeing their children getting an opportunity they never thought possible. For some, the academy provides a lifeline, ensuring that they have access to not only education but also basic necessities that are often taken for granted.

The stories of these students are testimonies to the power of resilience and determination. Many of them juggle between their studies and part-time jobs as laborers to support their families financially. Yet, in the face of adversity, they continue to strive towards their goals, fueled by the unwavering support of the MIAM Charitable Trust and the community that stands behind them.

Nitu Joshi, the driving force behind this transformative initiative, is a true epitome of dedication and compassion. Her commitment to uplifting the underprivileged and providing them with a pathway to a brighter future is commendable. Through her tireless efforts and the support of individuals like Mr. Bendkoli and the entire team at MIAM Charitable Trust, the lives of these Adivasi youth are being reshaped, instilling in them a sense of purpose and confidence that knows no bounds.

As the sun sets over the horizon in Wagera village, illuminating the faces of these determined young souls, one thing becomes clear - with the right support and opportunities, anything is possible. The MIAM Charitable Trust Police Training Academy stands as a beacon of hope, a testament to the transformative power of education and empowerment. Each success story that emerges from this academy is not just a victory for the individual student but a triumph for the entire community, inspiring generations to come and breaking barriers that once seemed insurmountable.

In the heart of Wagera village, where dreams are no longer deferred but nurtured and realized, the MIAM Charitable Trust Police Training Academy stands tall, a testament to the boundless potential that lies within every individual, waiting to be discovered and unleashed.

2024 Election Aftermath: A Perspective on the Results

JR Choudhary — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 17:37:50 +0530

New Delhi (India), June 7: India, as a great nation, requires robust leadership to navigate its future. Historically, the country has faced challenges due to divisive practices perpetuated by political and vested groups. It is impossible to please everyone, and for sustainable growth, bold and pragmatic decisions are necessary.

The ruling government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has championed the policy of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” (Together with All, Development for All, Trust of All), advocating for inclusive growth and development without discrimination based on caste, color, or creed.

In India, there are two primary categories of citizens: those who work and pay taxes, fueling the economy and funding social welfare schemes, and those who rely on these schemes despite not being economically disadvantaged. This disparity highlights a critical issue: many who are economically better off exploit welfare programs, while those genuinely in need struggle to afford even basic necessities.

Before the elections, a narrative emerged suggesting that the current government was undermining the constitutional reservation system. The opposition capitalized on this by making false promises to protect specific caste interests for political gain. This reflects a deeper problem in our electoral system: the economically contributing taxpayers are less likely to vote, whereas those dependent on government freebies vote in large numbers, significantly influencing election outcomes.

Over the past decade, the current government has focused on nationwide development, from Kashmir to the Northeast, from the first village in Uttarakhand to Lakshadweep, aiming to boost local economies. With a coalition government now poised to take charge, there is hope that this growth momentum will continue. It is crucial that all coalition partners prioritize the vision of a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) to make the country a better place to live, free from divisive politics.

As a nation, we must rise above petty politics and concentrate on a future roadmap that positions India where it truly deserves to be. This means focusing on inclusive growth, ensuring that the benefits of development reach every citizen, and fostering a unified vision for a prosperous and equitable India.

Recent extreme temperature spikes, such as 50 degrees Celsius in Churu, Rajasthan, and 52.9 degrees Celsius in Delhi, highlight the urgent need for substantial environmental efforts. Predictions of temperatures reaching up to 60 degrees Celsius stress the critical importance of immediate action in environmental preservation.

Mr. Boman Irani, President, CREDAI mentioned, “The rising temperatures and water scarcity in multiple states across India are major concerns that demand immediate action.

A key feature of the event was the seminar "Kalpavriksha Bamboo," hosted by the Sustainable Environment Council 2024. The seminar explored the traditional uses and ecological benefits of bamboo, urging developers to adopt sustainable materials and practices in construction.

CREDAI-MCHI called on developers to incorporate bamboo products in their projects, highlighting bamboo as a renewable and sustainable alternative to conventional building materials.

Sundarbans Climate Adaptation: In the Sundarbans, women and youth groups are leading the movement towards climate adaptation, showcasing the power of community-led initiatives in addressing environmental challenges.

Learning from Nature’s Fury

SEEDS co-founder Dr. Manu Gupta reflects on SEEDS journey of employing nature-based solutions (NbS) to combat environmental challenges. “I can still recall the devastation while standing on the Tamil Nadu coast after the 2004 Tsunami. The loss of lives, livelihoods, and homes was overwhelming. Working with affected communities and experts, we learned that nature-based solutions, like coastal vegetation restoration, could significantly reduce risk and economic hardship.”

Innovative Solutions

SEEDS has employed various innovative solutions to ensure the long-term success and ecological balance of these projects:

Nature-Based Solutions: Techniques such as floating bio islands and coastal vegetation restoration have been implemented to naturally purify water and restore ecosystems.

Community Involvement: Engaging local residents and fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their heritage have been key factors in the success of these projects.

Dr. Manu Gupta, SEEDS Co-founder, stated, “These projects are a testament to the power of community and the importance of preserving our heritage. By reviving these water bodies, we are not only restoring vital ecosystems but also reconnecting communities with their history and environment.”

Challenges and Achievements

The projects have navigated various challenges, including coordination with multiple local agencies, reviving community interest, and employing the right technology. Despite these hurdles, the projects’ success lies in the collaborative efforts of citizens, government bodies, and private sectors.

Future Implications

The revival projects serve as models for similar initiatives across India. They demonstrate how affected sites can be restored sustainably, involving community participation and nature-based solutions.

Dr. Manu Gupta’s Insights

In the video, Dr. Manu Gupta elaborates on the unique aspects of these projects. He reflects on the significance of the sites, recalling their roles in supporting communities throughout history. He emphasizes the community’s newfound sense of ownership and pride in their heritage, which has been instrumental in the projects’ success.

Dr. Gupta explains, “These projects are unique because they revive ancient systems that were once lifelines for their communities. They have brought together various agencies and the community to work towards a common goal. This collaborative effort is crucial in transforming the way we view and care for our urban and rural heritage.”

Community and Environmental Impact

The revival of these water bodies has not only restored but also addressed broader environmental and social issues. By implementing nature-based solutions, SEEDS has improved the water quality and ecosystem health of these areas. This approach also serves as a model for other urban and rural water bodies facing similar challenges.

The projects’ success in engaging local residents and fostering a sense of community ownership is particularly noteworthy. “Often, we consider these monuments as our backyards, never really caring except for those odd tourists who might drop by,” says Dr. Gupta. “But the kind of ownership citizens have shown for some of our projects has been remarkable.”

Future Vision

Looking ahead, SEEDS aims to replicate the success of these projects in other parts of India. The organization believes that such initiatives are vital for preserving the country’s rich heritage while addressing contemporary environmental challenges. These projects serve as blueprints for future efforts, demonstrating that community involvement and sustainable practices can achieve lasting impact.

A Vision for a Greener Future: Celebrating World Environment Day with author, thought leader and environmentalist Chet Kamal Parkash

JR Choudhary — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 15:51:36 +0530

New Delhi (India), June 5: On World Environment Day, the thought leader, IT professional, author and environmentalist Chet Kamal Parkash shares his thoughts on the urgent need to embrace green energy and sustainable practices. As we celebrate World Environment Day, we are reminded of our shared responsibility to protect and preserve our planet.

India is the world’s 4th largest consumer of electricity and the world’s 3rd largest renewable energy producer with 40% of energy capacity installed in the year 2022 (160 GW of 400 GW) coming from renewable sources. In the last two decades, harnessing renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric power, biomass and geothermal energy has helped significantly in reduction of carbon footprint and to combat the climate changes.

The transition to green energy is not merely an option but an imperative for our survival and the well-being of future generations. The current technological advancements and Innovation plays a pivotal role in this transition. Advances in photovoltaic technology, efficient wind turbines, and energy storage solutions are revolutionizing how we generate and use power. These innovations not only provide sustainable energy solutions but also create economic opportunities and enhance the importance of green energy utilization.

However, the shift towards green energy requires collaborative approach. Individuals and organizations can contribute by adopting renewable energy plans, investing in energy-efficient appliances, and supporting eco-conscious businesses. There is an urgent need to build an ecosystem to address the need of raising concerns about global-warming. Creating awareness is equally important and by doing the same we can make people understand benefits of green energy. Our collective efforts can help reduce carbon footprints through switching home energy supply to green energy sources, encouraging adoption of solar panels for electricity, use of solar water heaters, switching to electric vehicles, and by using solar-powered technology gadgets. The adoption of use of LED lights, choosing energy-efficient appliances for heating and cooling solutions for household use greatly helps in reduction of energy consumption.

In today’s era, it is acceptance that we live in high-rise buildings and we feel lack of places to start with the plantation. There are still a number of ways to work towards environment and make this world and surroundings better than ever. One such way is by associating oneself with NGOs who have been working relentlessly for environment protection and always strive for greener future. Such NGOs work with great vision and common goals with impactful initiatives. They choose the places around you to conduct the plantation drive, invite participation in large groups, conduct environment awareness programs, encourage the adoption of green energy, and make life on our planet earth more sustainable.

The ‘Catch Foundation’ based in Ahmedabad is one such organization which started with such initiatives and has been working since a decade for tackling environmental issues. Mr. Parkash shows his active participation with great interest and expresses his gratitude in volunteering the events lead by the organization. By getting associated with such organizations, we can drive the societal change necessary for a sustainable future.

Let us seize this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to environmental stewardship. Together, we can build a world where clean energy powers our homes, schools, and businesses, ensuring a healthier and more prosperous future for all. Happy World Environment Day!

From his many interests to his award-winning writings, rare stamp and coin collections, photography, and astronomy, his life is full of discovery and success. His Ph.D. in business administration complements his mechanical engineering expertise. Here are his views on the World Environment Day.

Every year on June 5th, people worldwide celebrate World Environment Day to bring attention to the critical need to preserve our planet. The theme for this year, “Reduce, Recycle, Reuse,” really speaks to me because I’m a business owner and a deeply committed photographer. All of the stunning natural landscapes I photograph—from lush forests to perfect beaches—are in danger of disappearing unless we take sustainable measures to protect them.

I try to remember the effect that my work as a photographer has on the environment at all times. I want to lessen my environmental impact by following the three R’s: reduction, recycling, and reusing. Selecting digital portfolios instead of printed ones, utilizing rechargeable batteries, and reducing single-use plastics are all mindful choices that contributing to waste reduction. A considerable decrease in waste is achieved by the cumulative effect of these minor adjustments.

One more potent weapon in my sustainability arsenal is recycling. Film canisters and paper are among the many used photographic materials that I always recycle correctly. In addition, I support the circular economy and help reduce demand for virgin resources by partnering with eco-friendly printing companies that use soy-based inks and recycled paper.

Maybe the most imaginative part of sustainability is finding new uses for old things. Instead of throwing out used tools, I find new uses for them. Not only does this help the environment, but it also gives my projects a special, retro vibe. In my line of work, I advocate for clients to think about renting or buying used equipment. This helps spread the message of reusing things and reduces the demand for new products.

PRAVEEN MAURYA

As we mark World Environment Day, the stark reality of our planet’s challenges comes into sharp focus. Climate change is intensifying, bringing unprecedented weather extremes, rising sea levels, and threatening biodiversity. Our ecosystems are strained by deforestation and pollution, endangering both nature and humanity.

In response, the I-Help Foundation in Goa has been a catalyst for change. For eight years, we’ve led impactful initiatives, including planting over 51,4037 trees to combat deforestation and hosting beach cleanup drives that have removed tons of plastic waste. These efforts not only restore our environment but also raise public awareness about the importance of conservation.

To tackle these issues, we must embrace sustainable practices. Reducing plastic use, supporting renewable energy, and fostering community awareness are essential steps. By working together and taking decisive action, we can protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for all. Let’s make every day Earth Day.

JR Choudhary — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 16:08:08 +0530

Kamakhya India’s awareness event for menstrual hygiene and promoting biodegradable products

Surat (Gujarat) [India], June 3: Kamakhya India, an organisation committed to health awareness, attempted to create a world record in Sure. The organisation made the world’s largest mosaic image using 18,400 sanitary pads. The initiative aims to create awareness about menstrual hygiene and promote the use of biodegradable and eco-friendly products.

Titled “Shades of Red 2.0”, the event was organised at VR Surat on June 1 and 2. Kamakhya India’s Founder Nandini Sultaniya highlighted the organisation’s commitment to promoting menstrual hygiene and awareness among women in both rural and urban areas.

“This two-day event aims to spread greater awareness about menstruation. We used 18,400 biodegradable and eco-friendly sanitary pads to create a mosaic image measuring 52×40 sq ft or nearly 200 sq. This is the largest mosaic image made using sanitary pads and represents the Kamakhya India logo,” she said.

The event, aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals listed by the United Nations, coincided with the Menstrual Hygiene Day, organised on May 28, and the World Environment Day, observed on June 5. It emphasised both menstrual hygiene and environmental conservation.

“Our goal is to dispel the various myths associated with menstruation, the taboo associated with periods, and promote menstrual hygiene among women. The pads used to create the mosaic will be distributed by various non-profit organisations in tribal and rural areas, where awareness about menstrual hygiene remains low,” added Ms. Sultaniya.

The event was celebrated as an awareness campaign and a festival to encourage broader participation. It featured various activities and workshops by NGOs and other organisations. The event also contributed to environmental awareness and showed how even small steps can lead to a big impact.

During the event, Ms. Sultaniya and Anjana Patodia delivered inspirational talks on the use of sanitary pads, menstrual hygiene and biodegradable products. A question and answer session was also organised, which was moderated by Kamakhya India Director Arusha Relan and Aarti Gangwal.

Orientation Training Programme for Arb-Med

JR Choudhary — Fri, 24 May 2024 15:54:30 +0530

Gujarat [India], May 24: Gujarat State Legal Services Authority has organized Orientation Training Programme on “Arb-Med” (Arbitration – Mediation) for integrating the concept of mediation in Commercial Arbitration. Under the able guidance of Hon’ble Mrs. Sunita Agarwal, the Chief Justice, High Court of Gujarat & Patron-in-Chief, GSLSA and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Biren Vaishnav, Executive Chairman, GSLSA, five days’ intensive training has been imparted to 11 shortlisted Advocates dealing exclusively in commercial cases and arbitration matters by Mr. Tariq Khan, Senior Mediator from Hyderabad International Arbitration & Mediation Centre and Mr. A J. Jawad, Senior Mediator from Training for excellence in Arbitration & Mediation, Chennai.

While floating the idea of Arb-Med for the first time in the country, Hon’ble The Chief Justice emphasized that though Arbitration is one of the modes of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which contemplates minimal intervention of the courts, seldom one finds the dispute referred to Arbitration which is not dragged to a Court of law as part of application for setting aside of award. In the newly enacted Mediation Act, 2023, word ‘Mediation’ is defined in Section 2(h) which includes the process of conciliation also.

In arbitral reference, also endeavour is to be made by the Arbitral Tribunal before commencement or even during Arbitral proceedings to explore the possibility of settlement. In this regard, reference of Arb-Med is noteworthy. It is a hybrid, two stage Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process to resolve commercial disputes, and has been recognised as a preferred mode for resolving wide range of commercial disputes.

However, the experience suggests that efforts in this regard have become mechanical and casual. It is, thus, felt that if a system of mediation (in form of conciliation) is introduced in Arbitration, particularly commercial Arbitration, wherein the professionally trained mediators attempt to mediate between the parties and collaborative process is adopted, there are chances that many disputes can be resolved at the inception itself. The above idea is suitable in the State of Gujarat as large portion of population is primarily engaged in commerce and industries.

To achieve this objective, the institutionalisation of mediation is needed. A full fledged Mediation Centre equipped with trained Mediators from amongst experienced practicing lawyers in the High Court is the need of the hour. With this purpose, a training to lawyers engaged in the commercial disputes to act as a mediator in Arbitral Reference could be a good idea.

The training was organized at Gujarat State Judicial Academy in two phases whereby on 4th & 5th May, 2024 broader facets of mediation associated with commercial dispute were deliberated and in depth training had been imparted to shortlisted 11 advocates during 20th – 22nd May, 2024. All the participants had a sound legal background and they felt that the concept of Arb-Med indeed is innovative and could be effective in dispute resolution in Gujarat as majority of commercial disputes involve family ties.

Very soon a mediation room/centre especially for Gujarat High Court Arbitration Centre is proposed to be established wherein the arbitral referrals involving relatively smaller claims, the claims involving family members and MSME disputes can be referred. The legal fraternity in the State of Gujarat has welcomed the initiative.

Unveiling ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’: ABP Digital’s Strategic Campaign for West Bengal Elections

JR Choudhary — Fri, 17 May 2024 15:47:17 +0530

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 17: In the dynamic landscape of Indian politics, every election season brings forth a flurry of campaigns, promises, and strategies aimed at capturing the hearts and minds of voters. In the vibrant state of West Bengal, where political fervor runs deep, ABP Digital has unfurled its latest election campaign with a slogan that encapsulates both innovation and determination: ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’.

Embedded within this narrative is the seamless integration of Anandabazar.com’s election campaign, ‘Dillibarir Lorai‘, which resonates with the spirit of ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’.

The slogan itself, ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’ serves as a call to action. In Bengali, ‘dekhe nebo’ embodies a dual meaning. It connotes ‘to check out’ and also the colloquialism ‘to fight it out’. Hence ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’ from the perspective of electoral candidates means, ‘Will fight it out this election’. On the other hand, from the perspective of readers, ‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’ means ‘this election, we will check out anandabazar.com for everything poll-related’. This double entendre captures the spirit of the campaign which seeks to highlight the electoral theatre and also put emphasis on the need and the importance of proper verified news and information.

Central to the campaign’s imagery is the portrayal of prominent political leaders clutching mobile phones—a symbolic representation of their commitment to staying informed through ABP Digital’s comprehensive coverage. This visual metaphor not only underscores the significance of staying abreast of election-related developments but also positions anandabazar.com as the go-to source for reliable information in the digital age.

Moreover, the campaign features a stellar lineup of political stalwarts from various parties.

From the Trinamool Congress (TMC), noted film personalities like Dev, Rachana Banerjee, and Saayoni Ghosh, alongside seasoned politicians Sougata Roy and Mahua Moitra, stand front and center.

On the opposing end, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is represented by formidable roster of leaders, including the likes of Locket Chatterjee, Dilip Ghosh, Arjun Singh, Sukanta Majumder and Abhijit Gangopadhyay.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPIM) is represented by Sujan Chakraborty and Mohammed Salim. The Indian National Congress is represented by seasoned politician Adhir Chowdhury.

‘Vote e Ebar Dekhe Nebo’ hoardings adorn prominent locations across Kolkata, amplifying ABP Digital’s commitment to shaping a vibrant and participatory democracy.

Moreover, the success of the campaign is further amplified by the support of its esteemed partners. With V-Guard as the presenting partner and Bandhan Mutual Fund, Subhas Bose Institute of Hotel Management (SBIHM), and Lux Cozi as the associate partner, the campaign benefits from the credibility and reach of these trusted brands.

As the West Bengal election season unfolds, ABP Digital remains steadfast in its dedication to delivering comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis to its audience. Through its digital platform, anandabazar.com, the leading Bengali digital publisher continues to serve as a beacon of information, empowering voters with knowledge to make informed choices.

As the political landscape evolves and the electoral journey unfolds, one thing remains certain—ABP Digital’s commitment to empowering voters and fostering informed citizenship will continue to shine bright, guiding the way towards a more engaged and inclusive democratic future.

SHEOWS Honors Mothers’ Weekend, Fostering Love and Belonging for Ammas

JR Choudhary — Wed, 15 May 2024 16:50:15 +0530

SHEOWS offering a home away from home for the elderly

New Delhi (India), May 15: SHEOWS, an Old Age Home dedicated to caring for the elderly, celebrates Mothers Weekend instead of a single day for their Ammas, honouring the profound bond they share. However, during these occasions, residents often experience a sense of exclusion, as they miss the familiar comfort of their own homes and the loving presence of their families. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that the Ammas feel cherished and esteemed, despite being separated from their loved ones.

The simple act of bringing joy to the faces of mothers is a profound experience to anticipate. These tender gestures hold the power to infuse life with deeper meaning, turning even the most mundane moments into cherished memories that resonate with warmth and happiness.

GP Bhagat, Founder and General Secretary of SHEOWS, highlights the transformative power of small acts of kindness for those in need. He stresses the importance of fostering connections and a sense of belonging among vulnerable individuals through these gestures. According to Bhagat, there’s profound joy in extending care and appreciation to fellow human beings, regardless of the occasion, emphasising the intrinsic value of compassion and support in our communities.

In the whirlwind of daily life, it’s common to overlook the needs of those dearest to us, but such oversight is regrettable. It’s crucial to prioritise the care of the elderly, especially those who are separated from us by distance or circumstance. Their wealth of wisdom and experience underscores the significance of tending to their well-being, not merely as a duty, but as a heartfelt tribute to their enduring love and invaluable contributions to our lives.

About SHEOWS:

SHEOWS is a compassionate Old Age Home dedicated to rescuing and providing free, comprehensive care for abandoned, destitute, and homeless elderly individuals in Delhi NCR and Uttar Pradesh. From medical treatment to comfortable accommodation and nutritious meals, SHEOWS is committed to giving the elderly a second home.

PS Gahlaut Commends PM’s Namo Drone Didi Initiative, Envisions Empowerment of Rural Women as Agricultural Drone Pilots

JR Choudhary — Fri, 10 May 2024 13:50:06 +0530

“The Namo Drone Didi initiative has the potential to transform the agricultural landscape of India,” says PS Gahlaut.

In a bold move towards gender empowerment and agricultural innovation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent initiative, the "Namo Drone Didi," has garnered praise from various sectors of society. Among those commending this groundbreaking initiative is P.S. Gahlaut, a prominent figure in the agricultural community and the Managing Director of Indian Potash Limited (IPL) believes that this program holds the key to empowering rural women as agricultural drone pilots. “The Namo Drone Didi initiative aims to revolutionize farming practices in India by leveraging drone technology,” says PS Gahlaut. He further continues, “By providing training and resources to rural women, the program seeks to equip them with the skills needed to operate agricultural drones effectively. This initiative not only promises to enhance productivity and efficiency in agriculture but also presents a unique opportunity to address gender disparities in rural areas.”

Key Highlights & Gahlaut’s Understanding of the Initiative

Under the Sashakt Nari-Viksit Bharat program, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the NaMo Drone Didi scheme on March 11, 2024. Around 15,000 women-led Self-Help Groups (SHGs) will benefit from this scheme, utilizing drones for crop monitoring, fertilizer spraying, and seed sowing. This groundbreaking initiative not only offers employment opportunities to women in rural areas but also boosts agricultural productivity by integrating modern technology. “Acknowledging the crucial role of SHGs in rural development, Modi facilitated approximately Rs 8,000 crore in bank loans to SHGs at subsidized interest rates through Bank Linkage Camps. Additionally, he allocated around Rs 2,000 crore in Capitalization Support Funds to SHGs, enhancing their financial stability and enabling them to spearhead local development initiatives,” mentions PS Gahlaut.

P.S. Gahlaut, a staunch advocate for women's rights and agricultural reform, has hailed the Namo Drone Didi initiative as a significant step towards empowering rural women. PS Gahlaut emphasized, “The potential of this program is transformative; this has the power to change the lives of countless women across the country.” One of the key benefits of the initiative is its ability to provide women with access to cutting-edge technology. “Traditionally, women in rural areas have been excluded from participating in technological advancements due to various social and economic barriers. However, by offering training in drone piloting, the initiative empowers women to embrace technology in the agricultural sector,” continues PS Gahlaut.

Moreover, the economic opportunities of this initiative for rural women are immense. By becoming skilled drone pilots, women can not only contribute to the improvement of agricultural practices but also generate additional income for their families. This economic empowerment, PS Gahlaut argues, “is essential for uplifting rural communities and reducing poverty levels.”

In addition to economic benefits, the initiative holds the potential to challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes prevalent in rural societies. “By encouraging women to take on roles traditionally dominated by men, such as drone piloting, the initiative promotes gender equality and fosters a more inclusive society,” says PS Gahlaut. Furthermore, PS Gahlaut believes that the initiative will have a “positive impact on agricultural sustainability and environmental conservation.” Drones can be used to monitor crop health, identify pest infestations, and optimize irrigation, leading to more sustainable farming practices. By training women as drone pilots, the initiative ensures that these benefits are accessible to the farming community, regardless of gender. However, some challenges may lie ahead in implementing the initiative effectively. PS Gahlaut opines, “Addressing issues such as access to training facilities, availability of resources, and overcoming cultural barriers will be crucial in ensuring the success of the program.”

Parvinder Singh Gahlaut opines, “The Namo Drone Didi initiative underscores the importance of empowering rural women as agricultural drone pilots. By providing women with access to technology, training, and economic opportunities, this initiative has the power to not only improve agricultural practices but also promote gender equality and social inclusion.” As India moves towards a more sustainable and inclusive future, initiatives like Namo Drone Didi will play a crucial role in realizing this vision.

Yamini Jadhav, Eknath Shinde’s Dark Horse in Shiv Sena’s Lok Sabha Campaign

JR Choudhary — Sat, 04 May 2024 15:01:15 +0530

New Delhi (India), May 4: In the high-stakes arena of Indian politics, where every move is scrutinized and every candidate’s potential weighed, Yamini Jadhav emerges as a compelling figure in Shiv Sena’s electoral strategy for the Lok Sabha polls. Backed by Eknath Shinde, a prominent leader within the party, Jadhav’s candidacy represents not just a political choice but a calculated move aimed at securing victory in Mumbai South.

The recent filing of nominations by Shiv Sena candidates Jadhav, Ravindra Waikar, and Naresh Mhaske has set the stage for a fierce electoral battle. Amid a grand display of strength, the trio expressed unwavering confidence in their prospects, citing a perceived wave in favor of the MahaYuti alliance in Maharashtra and the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre.

Jadhav’s candidacy, in particular, is significant as it symbolizes the internal dynamics within Shiv Sena. Positioned against the incumbent MP Arvind Sawant, her campaign embodies the factional rivalry within the party, with the Eknath Shinde-led faction facing off against its counterpart, Shiv Sena (UBT). This internal contest adds layers of complexity to an already intense electoral landscape.

For Jadhav, the road to victory is paved with challenges, yet her association with Eknath Shinde brings strategic advantages. Shinde’s presence and endorsement lend credibility and organizational support to her campaign, bolstering her chances in a fiercely contested constituency. Moreover, Shinde’s assertion at a recent rally in Thane, where he confidently predicted Naresh Mhaske’s victory, underscores the strategic importance of Jadhav’s candidacy within the larger narrative of Shiv Sena’s electoral ambitions.

By aligning herself with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and emphasizing the agenda of development, Jadhav seeks to tap into the electorate’s aspirations for progress and prosperity. In a political landscape marked by shifting alliances and ideological realignments, her positioning as a proponent of Modi’s leadership resonates with a significant segment of voters, further enhancing her electoral appeal.

As the polling day approaches, all eyes will be on Yamini Jadhav and her bid to clinch victory in Mumbai South. In a contest where every vote counts, her candidacy represents not just a political maneuver but a testament to the intricate dynamics of power and influence within Shiv Sena.

Said Eknath Shinde,Hon CM of Maharashtra, who was present along with Murli Deora, Mangal Prabhat Lodha and other dignitaries for Yamini Jadhav’s nomination, “All we seek is vikas, vikas and vikas. that is why we chose Yamini Tai Jadhav among the 1000s of applicants who wished to participate in the Lok Sabha elections. Yamini Tai Jadhav are family members of almost all families in the area. And we all are sure she will win with huge majority as her work is evident and aligns with the vision of our party.”

Yamini Jadhav was emotional when she spoke of the positive feeling she experienced

In seeing the leaders and the huge turnout of citizens who were standing by her as she filed her nomination.

Looks like the way forward is smooth sailing for Yamini Jadhav.

JR Choudhary — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 13:29:46 +0530

Naishadh Desai is kinsman of Morarji Desai

Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 18: In Surat, Naishadh Desai, a descendant of the late Prime Minister Morarji Desai, has declared his intention to contest in the upcoming elections against a prominent figure. To signify his resolve, Desai underwent a symbolic act by shaving his head and donning attire reminiscent of Gandhi before embarking on a brief Dandi Yatra ahead of his nomination filing on the 19th.

Born on June 22, 1956, in Surat, Naishadh Desai hails from a family deeply rooted in Congress leadership and activism. His father, Shri Ishwarlal Gulabbhai Desai, was a notable Congress leader and freedom fighter, while his late uncle, Shri Khandubhai Desai, served as a Union Cabinet Minister during the tenures of Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and Indira Gandhi.

Desai’s determination to contest the elections stems from his belief in Gandhian principles. Drawing inspiration from Gandhi’s perseverance against formidable odds, Desai remains steadfast in his resolve to challenge the status quo.

Highlighting his familial ties with the late Prime Minister Morarji Desai, Desai shared, “My grandfather and father were close associates of Morarji. He often stayed at our home when in Surat. Furthermore, my sister is married into the Morarji family.”

Possessing an M.A. and L.L.B. degree, Desai practices as an advocate.

Throughout his career, Desai has actively participated in various labor unions and associations, advocating for the rights of workers in sectors such as textiles and diamonds in South Gujarat.

Manish Malhotra showcased Dharohar Kashi Ki at Banaras, A Tapestry of Indian Culture and Craftsmen organised by Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF)

JR Choudhary — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 13:29:48 +0530

Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 18: Aimed primarily at promoting and preserving the rich traditional Banarasi handloom craft and enhance its global footprint further, Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF) organized a fashion show – ‘Banaras – A Tapestry of Indian Culture and Craftsmen’ as part of 2-day-long ‘Prayas: Dharohar Kashi Ki’ at the historic Namo Ghat along the Holy Ganga in the spiritual capital of India, Varanasi on Sunday.

Asia’s biggest designer, Manish Malhotra brings the essence of Banaras to life with the ‘Dharohar Kashi Ki’ fashion show, held on the serene banks of the Ganges at Namo Ghat in Kashi with his special collection called ‘BANARAS’. This unique setting added an emotional and holistic touch to the show, as it was the first fashion show to take place at this iconic location, supporting the Bunkar community and the skilled artisans of Varanasi. The fashion show was a celebration of traditional Indian craftsmanship intertwined with contemporary aesthetics.

Manish Malhotra’s exquisite creations highlighted the elegance and timelessness of hand-woven textiles, paying homage to the unparalleled workmanship of Indian heritage.

Bollywood heartthrob Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon graced the ramp, donning Banarasi traditional outfits designed-innovatively by the international fashion designer, Manish Malhotra. Kriti Sanon, ethereal in regal Indian red silk, epitomizes the finesse of India’s weaving tradition. Ranveer Singh, with his charisma, wears a Banarasi shikargah sherwani in a vintage purple hue, paired with a silk kurta and dhoti. A total of 40 models graced the runway during the fashion show, adorned in the distinctive Banarasi handloom collection meticulously curated by Manish Malhotra.

The ambiance of the show was further elevated as the models walked barefoot, their styling intricately weaving cultural identity through the adornment of mogras and bindis. The event was attended by diplomats and ambassadors from 20 countries, renowned fashion designers, Bollywood celebrities, heads of Bunkar Community Associations and Convener of Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF) and MP Rajya Sabha, Satnam Singh Sandhu along with other members of IMF. Manish Malhotra unveils the ‘Banaras’ collection dedicated to championing the opulent Banarasi handloom craft, accompanied by the noble pledge to promote banarasi globally.

The collection spotlighted the beauty of Banarasi silk sarees, each piece meticulously hand-woven by talented bunkers, a process that takes months to perfect compared to the rapidity of machine-made fabrics. Furthermore, the distinguished fashion maestro revealed his forthcoming endeavour: the unveiling of this bespoke collection exclusively curated to showcase Banarasi handloom collection at his Delhi Flagship Store.

During the event, as many as 40 bunkars including 2 Padma Shri awardees who have done exceptional work for the promotion and preservation of rich Varanasi craft were honoured by Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF). Manish Malhotra’s dedication to supporting the skilled bunker community of Varanasi reflects his commitment and aims to conserve the heritage of handloom and promote sustainable fashion to the world. His work aligns with campaigns like #VikasBhiVirasatBhi and #KashiSangam, which aim to develop and preserve India’s cultural legacy.

The Modi Mantra of Vocal for local and Local to Global have spurred the global demand for the rich Varanasi handloom products. Buoyed by the Make-in-India initiative of Modiji’s government, the global footprint of Indian fashion has increased in an unprecedented manner. From Paris, Milan, New York and Moscow, Indian designers are leaving an indelible mark globally today. In the past 10 years of Modi government, the Indian Fashion Industry scaled greater heights at global level.

The vibrancy of royal craft of Banarasi Saree have shone bright not just in India but on a global map today after Modiji’s government’s Prayas for promotion of the rich textile tradition of India. Today, when it comes to fashion, the world looks at India and we have been transformed into trendsetters in the past 10 years of Modiji’s government. It is the confluence of traditional Indian clothing with modern touch that has taken the Indian fashion industry to greater heights at global level, he added. Today, this fashion show that showcased the rich Indian textile tradition is indeed a praiseworthy effort of Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF).

In recent years, PM Modi’s Make-in-India campaign has revived the glory of rich traditional Indian handicraft and handloom in an unprecedented manner.

Manish Malhotra said that, “It was a true honor to showcase my Banaras collection at the ‘Dharohar Kashi Ki’ fashion show at Namo Ghat by the Ganges in Kashi. Varanasi has always been a serene destination for me. The event celebrated Kashi’s vibrant culture and the rich history of Banarasi fabrics. Being part of this emotional and holistic event, celebrating the bunkar committee and artisans, was an extraordinary experience. The timeless elegance of Banarasi weaves continues to inspire me.

Blending these intricate textiles with contemporary designs allows me to honour the craftsmen who dedicate their lives to preserving this beautiful art form. This holy city of light captivated us with its spiritual allure and instilled a sense of pride in our nation’s rich cultural heritage”. He also remarked that, “owing to the unparalleled initiatives taken under Modiji’s government, to promote the rich traditional Indian attire have given global recognition to the traditional craft of Bunkar community. Bunkar community of Varanasi has kept the rich Indian cultural heritage alive.”

IMF Convener and Rajya Sabha MP Satnam Singh Sandhu said, “The ‘Darohar Kashi Ki’ is a small attempt by Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF) to promote the vibrant cultural heritage of Kashi – the Spiritual Capital of India – and celebrate the rich legacy of Bunkar community of Varanasi on a global scale. Additionally, the initiative aims to propagate PM Modi’s vision of ‘Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi’ amongst the people, which will take Bharat ahead in the 21st century.

Over the past decade, Prime Minister Modi has put in all the possible efforts towards revitalizing Kashi’s cultural heritage while simultaneously fostering its development, which is evident in the visible transformation both in terms of infrastructure and societal progress.

PM Modi’s efforts have not only enhanced the religious and historical glory of Kashi but also educated the world about the traditional crafts and meticulous skills of its artisans.” Earlier today, an art and craft exhibition was also held as a part of “Prayas: Dharohar Kashi Ki” with an aim to provide weavers and artisans of Kashi a platform to showcase their handloom and handicrafts talent. In this over 50 exhibitors belonging to Kashi’s Bunker Community displayed an impressive range of their products including Banarasi silk sarees and garments, carpets and handicrafts.

JR Choudhary — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:30:34 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 13: The Hiremath Family Foundation was founded to help the underprivileged in the area of education, health, hygiene, income generation and waste management.

Varun Hiremath has spearheaded the E-learning initiative under the education vertical. “The mission is to help underprivileged children from rural communities’ access digital learning tools and resources which they could otherwise never afford” said Hiremath.

After conducting surveys across numerous geographies, the foundation identifies communities where there is sparse availability of high-quality schools. The Hiremath Family Foundation’s first centre in Alibaug caters to 250 children and through its high-tech system of instruction on computers, it enables children from standard 6 to standard 10 to improve their performance. The main benefit is that children who are in danger of dropping out of school are helped to complete their studies through e learning modules that are tailored specifically for each grade.

Via this initiative we hope to level the playing field and help students get all the help they need across all subjects. The centre has English classes and also a Microsoft certified computer literacy program. Given that the world is heading toward increased digital adoption we believe it is imperative that every child graduating from school today be well versed with computers in order to be an effective member of tomorrow’s workforce. The centre also has a library and toys which augment the learning process.” said Hiremath.

Varun Hiremath, CEO of Fairdeal Wealth Advisors and the driving force behind this initiative, emphasizes the importance of leveraging technology to empower underprivileged students. “We understand the transformative power of education, and through our e-learning program, we aim to ensure that every child has the opportunity to fulfil their academic potential.” He added.

Achievements & Disappointments of 2 years as MP, Sanjeev Arora

JR Choudhary — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 13:05:24 +0530

New Delhi (India), April 12: Including him, most were surprised when Sanjeev Arora was elected to the upper house of the Indian Parliament, Rajya Sabha. Nobody had ever imagined that he would enter into politics one day. He was nominated unopposed because no opposition candidate was fielded. His term in the Rajya Sabha as a member from Punjab started on April 10, 2022.

After two years of working as an MP (Rajya Sabha), he tried to prove his skills as a capable candidate for the coveted post. He firmly believes that contrary to some existing perceptions of people, he tried to work more than some of the elected MPs. He goes by the principles of an all-time excellent Parliamentarian of the UK, Bernadette Devlin, whose famous quote is, “My function in life is not to be a politician in Parliament; it is to get something done.”

Sanjeev Arora has wholeheartedly dedicated his time and resources to the betterment of the people of Punjab and, in particular, Ludhiana. His issues, which also affect the Nation, are a testament to his commitment. His concrete, sincere, and crystal-clear efforts reflect the available data from his work over the last two years. His overall performance in parliament is a shining example to many others. People from different walks of life admire his ability to manage things despite his family & business commitments.

In total, he is satisfied with his work so far. But, at the same time, he has also encountered disappointments. Parliamentary affairs should always go uninterrupted to achieve the maximum outcome. There were occasions when he entered parliament with many hopes and aspirations. Still, all these hopes and aspirations came down after sessions of the Rajya Sabha were regularly adjourned for one reason or another. As a result, he could only take up a few public interest issues and returned empty-handed.

Despite all this, he has a positive and constructive approach. He is committed to working for the cause of the people of Ludhiana and other parts of the state and the nation. He humbly requests all party leaders in parliament to ensure the proceedings run smoothly. They need to set an example for all generations and have a respectable picture in the eyes of the World.

He followed up with the ministries concerned with bringing development to Ludhiana and other parts of the state. Besides national and state issues, he also regularly took local issues of Ludhiana, including NHAI’s elevated road project, upgradation of ESI Hospital, increasing bedding capacity of ESI Hospital from 300 to 500, highways’ projects in the state, making flight operational to Sahnewal Airport, following up on setting up of Halwara Airport which was hanging for more than ten years, setting up of 21 Kms cycle tracks in the city by NHAI, beautification of roads along the elevated highway, upgradation of Ludhiana and Dhandari railway stations.

He also raised many burning issues in the industry. It is a matter of pride for him that focal point road work started due to his persistent follow-up. This work was lying undone over the decades. He also took the initiative to renovate the Civil Hospital, Ludhiana, among a few others in the state. He regularly monitors the projects that he takes care of. At the same time, he periodically visits sites such as Halwara Airport, Sahnewal Airport, Civil Hospitals, ESI Hospital, elevated roads, and others for early completion of the projects.

The concerned officials are fully aware of his working style and nature; therefore, they are fully updated and well-prepared whenever they meet him. He has observed this very minutely during his meetings with the officers on many occasions.

He is also satisfied with the ideas discussed, some of which the Government implemented in the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health & Family Welfare, of which he is a member. He remains as active as possible and appreciates our Chairman, Sh Bhubaneswar Kalita, for being supportive. He has received Rs. 105 Lacs from PMNRF for 35 poor patients and has distributed almost all of the MPLAD funds to the health and education sectors.

He discusses public interest issues with ministers and other senior bureaucrats, considering these issues as personal matters. This level of work of mine has led to the early completion of many projects, while many others are heading towards seeing the day of the light.

All that Sanjeev Arora has achieved and is striving to do would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the Hon’ble Chief Ministers. Bhagwant S Mann, National Convener Sh. Arvind Kejriwal, his colleagues in Parliament, and his Family and friends are the strong pillars of his support, enabling him to continue his dedicated service.

A single act of kindness transforms the lives of 13 students!

JR Choudhary — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 12:21:57 +0530

New Delhi (India), April 2: Saayam, a noble initiative designed to connect people, founded by Dinakara Nagalla, a US-based tech entrepreneur, continues to broaden its impact by making help accessible, reflecting its true meaning. With the vision that education should be within everyone’s reach, the Saayam Charitable Association joined hands with the ‘Sri Sai Chandana Educational, Cultural, and Religious Charitable Trust’ (SSCECRCT) to provide educational opportunities for 13 deserving students, fulfilling their dreams and meeting their educational needs.

On the evening of March 13th, Wednesday, at a magnificent gathering at Ravindra Bharathi, theSaayam Charitable Association sponsored scholarships for these students who are disabled and financially challenged.

But what is the ‘Saayam Charitable Association’, and what’s its story? How does its name define the organization’s goal?

Raghuram Nagalla, Co-Founder of Saayam Charitable Association, spoke at the event, saying, “Saayam is not just an app; it’s a family. Here, we share stories, sow seeds for change. It’s a social network that raises awareness, uniting everyone towards a common goal.

He further explained the potential of Saayam, “A simple smile, a meal, a few words, an hour of time, what do these costs? Globally, numerous organizations fight against various issues – providing them with the needed funds, resources, and volunteers. By bringing everyone together to help one another, Saayam Charitable Association was created to facilitate this.”

Saayam is not just a digital platform but a community that unites those willing to help in society. Through this community, we can provide assistance in education, health, social activities, and various programs.

In the spirit of extending its mission of kindness, Saayam Charitable Association recently orchestrated a food drive in Hyderabad, showcasing the power of collective action. Numerous volunteers from varied backgrounds came together to distribute food and water bottles to those in need along the roadside. This event not only nourished bodies but also fostered a sense of community and compassion among the volunteers and recipients.

Taking its commitment to social good a step further, Saayam has initiated a groundbreaking movement named ‘NGOs Unite’.

Alarm for Mumbai; Rising Temperature and Rising Fire incidents

JR Choudhary — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 12:32:32 +0530

Mumbai (Maharahstra) [India], March 28: Every year the arrival of summer not only increases the mercury but also increases fire incidents. Since the beginning of 2024, there has been an increase in fire incidents in Mumbai. The rise in numbers is alarming whether it is Navroz Hill Society or the recent Dosti Ambrosia, Antop Hill fire incident. Even before summer, the city had witnessed some major fire incidents, especially in Mumbai’s high-rises. As temperatures rise, fire has become a more serious threat to Mumbaikars.

A vertically growing city like Mumbai is paying attention to fire evacuation and fire safety principle systems. The report reveals that high-rise buildings are being constructed rapidly in areas like Malad, Goregaon, Powai, Vikhroli, and Kanjurmarg. The city saw more than 70 new tall buildings in the first half of 2023, including 60 buildings over 150 meters and 10 towers over 200 meters.

Due to such an increasing number, the city needs precautionary measures, especially as summer progresses and the city reports an increase in major fire incidents. In summer, the heat can turn a fire into a dangerous blaze within seconds and suffocation also increases the risk of loss of life. Even for firefighters, it is impractical to climb the 25th floor and above in summer.

They will quickly become exhausted from the heat and face respiratory problems that will delay the evacuation of residents. In such an environment, not only the residents but also the fire personnel will be injured. Therefore, it is reluctant to ensure the presence and full-functioning of firefighting systems including fire evacuation lifts in high-rise buildings is essential as per the Maharashtra Energy Department for faster and safer evacuation of people.

Most importantly, societies and residents must take responsibility for maintaining and complying with all standards set forth by the fire department. Residents should clean all unnecessary combustible materials and garbage kept inside and outside the house.

Dr. Deepak Monga, a Fire Safety and Evacuation Expert guided the societies to check the electrical switchboards/ appliances in the buildings to prevent overheating and short circuits. Also, staircases should be cleared off furniture, paper, or other blockages to facilitate quick exit of people in case of a fire mishap. During summer, short-circuits become the prime reason so if the societies have the Fire Evacuation Lift then they can easily evacuate themselves in the time of power failure. These lifts have a battery back-up system and an hour’s fire-rated vision panel.”

Dr Vikram Mehta, an industry expert believes that the city needs to take a more proactive approach to ensure safe infrastructure and living conditions. As the city is growing vertically, a well-planned evacuation strategy and framework is essential to save the lives of the residents. Summer is knocking on our door, so without wasting time, start strictly following all the guidelines given by the government and fire brigade.”

There are about 250 tall buildings in India completed or under construction. Mumbai is followed by Hyderabad, where planners are keen on vertical growth, according to a report by real estate consultancy CBRE India. In this case, a revolutionary fire evacuation lift is the right and alternative solution to save lives, save FSI, save costs, and save rescuers (firefighters) by quickly evacuating occupants in emergencies.

Research Shows Effective Networking and Self-Driving Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Two Great Leadership Traits

JR Choudhary — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 16:29:15 +0530

Mumbai, India: In a public interest survey, the research shows effective networking and self-driving are two great leadership traits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The research was recently carried out by Prof. Prem Lal Joshi, a former NRI Professor of Accounting.

Ruling the nation effectively and winning elections requires the support of the electorate and the general public. A political leader must walk a fine line between governance and populism. For instance, the most populous democracy in India, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is about to enter its tenth year of office, and he intends to seek reelection for the third time. It begs the question of what aspect of charm most regulates his demeanor and keeps him consistently the most popular politician in the world. People would find it interesting to learn about the distinctive qualities of PM Modi to expand our comprehension of what constitutes an influential political leader.

This survey research aims to identify the distinctive traits that make Prime Minister Narendra Modi an inspiring leader and determine if respondents' perspectives differ significantly. The study includes 19 leadership traits relevant to PM Modi's leadership styles, extracted from previous articles and expert discussions. The research aims to expand our understanding of what constitutes an influential political leader and to understand the charm that keeps him the most popular politician in the world.

This study collected quantitative data from LinkedIn connections using a random sampling procedure. A self-designed questionnaire was sent to 700 people from various backgrounds to rate their agreement or disagreement with 19 leadership traits. The study was conducted in March and February 2024, with 29% of the responses (203) available for analysis. Executives filled out 21.2% of the questionnaires, while educators, businesspeople, and others filled out the rest. Government agencies employed 16.3%, and 59.1% were from non-governmental groups. 50.2% held a doctorate, and 37.4% completed postgraduate courses. Most respondents were between 30 and 40 years old, with 64% employed for ten years or longer.

The study reveals that the top ten leadership traits in ranking order include: ‘strong network building,’ ‘self-motivation,’ ‘global perspective,’ ‘visionary leadership,’ ‘determination & result-orientation,’ ‘public direction communication skills,’ ‘proactive approach,’ ‘being organised (detailed-oriented),’ ‘integrity in the workplace,’ and ‘creative thoughts and thinking.’

Participants rated self-motivation and powerful networking traits over 90%. Of the 19 leadership qualities, 89.5% were rated above 80%. The mean values for the first ten leadership traits exceed the grand mean of 4.25. Whether it's on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, people have always recognized PM Modi as a popular figure. It follows that PM Modi has been successful in inspiring and motivating people through the use of social media in an effective and efficient manner.

The Mann-Whitney test showed disparities between Indian and international respondents' evaluations of PM Modi's leadership qualities about two traits: "global perspective" and "keen to maintain welfare economics." Educators and other groups hold drastically different attitudes of "transparency towards the public," "empathy with regular people," "works for sustainability," "perception management," and "resilience." This discrepancy may be attributed to Indian culture and societal lack of trust.

The great-man hypothesis sometimes called the trait theory, postulates that profoundly ingrained personality traits are how leadership is attained. PM Modi has developed into a compelling worldwide visionary leader by displaying these qualities in various contexts. He uses excellent networking and communication abilities and is self-motivated, persistent, decisive, and goal-oriented. With an emphasis on strategic planning and policy direction, he has changed politics from being about votes to being about performance. Examples of his accomplishments include Make in India, Smart Cities, Digital India, Zero Defect-Zero Effect, Jan Dhan Yojna, Skill India, Swatch Bharat, highway development, railway infrastructure modernization, high-quality airports, defense arms and ammunition, and increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) in strategic sectors, tactfully organizing the G20 summit, etc. His proactive strategy and resolute decision-making have altered the collective mindset of the country, resulting in peace, tranquility, and rapid advancement in Jammu and Kashmir.

According to survey participants' open ideas regarding additional potential traits or qualities, Modi is a highly driven leader who upholds strict discipline. He is direct, honest, and unafraid to call others out on their faults and strong points. "Once a work has started, get the results," is his driving principle. He is very organized and on time. He has very specific standards for cleanliness and hygienic conditions. He is a very dedicated and persistent person. Every time someone makes an attempt to bring him down, he emerges from the ashes like a phoenix. He is a workaholic, energetic, determined, persistent, and has a straightforward demeanor. He also has a great belief in social service and philanthropy.

Therefore, PM Modi's reputation as a versatile, self-driven, and social influencer sets him apart from other world leaders. Some respondents feel that PM Modi and his administration focus more on public transparency concerns and cultivate greater empathy for everyday people.

Despite these challenges, women officers showcased remarkable resilience and determination, underscoring the urgent need for systemic changes and greater support mechanisms.

Challenges Faced by Women in Politics:

Women in politics encounter obstacles like patriarchal mindsets, societal stereotypes, and limited access to resources. Double standards often subject them to harsh scrutiny and judgment. Balancing political duties with family responsibilities poses significant challenges, forcing women to make tough choices. Despite these hurdles, women persist in advocating for gender equality and empowering future leaders.

Challenges Faced by Women IAS Officers:

Political interference, frequent transfers, and stress characterize the challenges for women in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).

Despite these obstacles, women IAS officers persevere to contribute meaningfully to governance and development.

Challenges Faced by Women IPS Officers:

Women in the Indian Police Service (IPS) confront gender bias, limited networking opportunities, and a demanding work-life balance. The lack of support systems and infrastructure exacerbates their challenges.

'Humanity in Action: Mohammed Umar's UH Foundation Paves the Path for Social Good'

JR Choudhary — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 16:37:58 +0530

The world in which many of us live is no exception to this rule, with a majority of the population driven by personal interests and self-centeredness. Yet, every once in a while, we bear witness to a rare but largely admired example, the person who lives in service of others, an invaluable embodiment of compassion and selflessness ideals. Any social program is made possible by individuals with a strong drive to make a change. Mohammed Umar is such a person. He has been an agent of change since 2016, and his work has not only improved the lives of so many but has also inspired many with hearts full of hope. Through the spirit of being devoted and taking special care, Mohammed is no more a sign of hope, which illustrates to the world that despite all the odds, deeds like these have the power to cast even the darkest areas of the community into light.

Ranging from health education and free checkup camps to donating fundamental assets like books and bags to children who built the initiative in 2016, Mohammed has vividly illustrated his dedication to community improvement and welfare. Besides that, his involvement in the delivery of food packs for orphaned kids and old people manifests even more of his engraved compassion and attachment to the vulnerable.

It has been his family which remains with him through thick and thin and that has been his springboard. His efforts to help as many people as he can extend ever-farther now. On January 2, 2022, he took a firm and definite step forward starting the UH Foundation, an expression of his continued involvement for the benefit of the society.

Mohammed's initials – thus the foundation's name – reflect his dream to establish an organization that supports social change and spreads messages of kindness, exercising humanity and philanthropy. Building this foundation, he hopes to take his assistance to as many people as he can through collective efforts and kindness, which is a belief he deeply feels that just one person can make a remarkable difference.

By Ghada Abudayyeh, we also reinforce the journey of the UH Foundation founder as one of humbleness and as a model of philanthropy and compassion. Throughout the years integrity and dignity served as guidelines he followed to improve other people's lives. Now he is an example for those who also wish to make a difference in the lives of people who have never had bad luck.

In the wake of Mohammed Umar’s pursuit of a formidable course of social welfare, his precedence demonstrates unlimited power towards goodness that lives in our hearts. By setting up the UH Foundation, Mohammed has outlined the way to an innovative and amiable future for a better future where the collective force of empathy and humanism overshadows. Amid a period blighted and challenged by adversities all around, Mohammed Umar, who refuses to give up on the mission of bettering people and communities in need, inspires us to look forward to a brighter future where compassion governs and human dignity and respect among all are upheld in high regard.

Itochu India Pvt. Ltd Executes “4R Project” (Respect, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Promoting Environmentally Friendly Behavior, complementing Mission Life

JR Choudhary — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 14:21:32 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 7: The lifestyle led by the human race in today’s era is inadvertently leading towards the destruction of the environment and depletion of available resources. Undoubtedly, mere knowledge of environment friendly actions won’t suffice the need of the hour. One of the prime initiatives of Government of India Mission LiFE – Lifestyle for Environment focuses on changing individual and community behaviour to have a significant impact on environment and climate crises. It also propagates the idea of Mindful and Deliberate Utilisation of resources, instead of Mindless and Destructive Consumption.

In order to complement the objectives of Mission LiFE, Itochu India Pvt.Ltd, a Japanese trading organisation, initiated a project named “Environment friendly behaviour through 4R (Respect, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) complementing Mission LIFE”. The project has been implemented by Shri Muni Charitable Foundation and technically supported by ETPA Foundation for Social Development. The main objective of this project is to bring in desired ‘Behavioural Changes’ amongst people towards RESPECTING all resources around us and their judicious utilisation. This has been executed through Storytelling Sessions as conducted with the target group of children aged 6 ~ 10 yrs in 53 government schools of Mumbai through the Japanese Picture Book of ‘Mottainai Grandma’ and its animated audio-visuals. Mottainai is a Japanese expression to express a feeling of regret when something is wasted without deriving its full value. The book illustrates the mindful utilisation of resources and promoting environment-friendly ways of living.

Two spells of Storytelling sessions were conducted with these children to reinforce the message of 4 R (Respect, Recycle, Reduce and Reuse). Simultaneously some teachers of these schools were also oriented about the skills of storytelling so that this journey continues further beyond this project as well. A set of 10 picture books were also donated to each of these 53 schools.

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” as quoted by Benjamin Franklin was also our guiding spirit as the Children who attended these storytelling sessions were also involved in the extra-curricular activities like creating ‘Best out of Waste’ crafts, utility products and plantation of fruit bearing, medicinal and floral saplings.

One of the sessions in Mumbai was also attended by some employees of Itochu India Pvt Ltd – Mumbai, including Mr. Ryosuke Ochi, Metal Division Head. They all were very impressed to see the enthusiasm of children about the Japanese concept of Mottainai and 4R. Children were also much intrigued by this experience of practical learning and experiencing the zero waste concept and various techniques to Reuse and Recycle waste materials. Such initiatives give the food for the thoughts to realise whether we are utilising everything judiciously or not!

Morari Bapu concludes inaugural Ram Katha in Ayodhya on a high note, pledges return on completion of temple

JR Choudhary — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 12:37:06 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 4: Renowned spiritual leader, Morari Bapu, marked the momentous conclusion of the inaugural Ram Katha in Ayodhya, following the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol, at the invitation of the Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust. Commencing on February 24 and spanning nine spiritually enriching days, the event concluded on March 03 at Tirtha Kshetra Puram Vidyakund, in close proximity to the majestic Ram temple.

Champat Rai, General Secretary of Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra, extended a personal invitation to Morari Bapu, emphasizing the significance of conducting this landmark first Ram Katha in Ayodhya after the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol. Rai remarked on the transformative nature of the event, noting that the area, usually considered less bustling in Ayodhya, felt revitalized with fresh energy post-Katha. Titled ‘Manas Ram Mandir,’ this Katha marked Morari Bapu’s 932nd and his seventh in Ayodhya.

Upon the confirmation from Shri Champat Rai that all elements of the Ram temple complex will be completed by 2026, Morari Bapu expressed his intention to return for another Ram Katha in two years’ time. Bapu also extended his gratitude to the Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust for the invitation and for facilitating all necessary arrangements for the programme.

On the final day, Bapu drew profound analogies of the temple’s structure with the concluding lines of the seven cantos of the Ram Charita Manas, emphasizing themes of enthusiasm, love, satasanga (holy congregations), Niloptal (blueish) hue, happiness, Nirvana, and peace.

At the inauguration of the Katha, Bapu had presented three sacred texts – the Vedas, the Valmiki Ramayana, and Goswami Tulsidas’ Ram Charita Manas – to the trust. These will now be enshrined in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, and the two central lines of the Katha will be inscribed in gold within the temple, preserving the spiritual essence for millennia.

Morari Bapu had previously been invited for the Pran Pratishtha on January 22, where the consecration of Ram Lalla took place, amidst sacred hymns and chanting by priests, led by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It’s notable that Morari Bapu, a spiritual luminary and the highest contributor to the construction of Ayodhya’s Ram Temple, has made a significant donation of Rs 20 crore to the cause. The Katha drew thousands of people from across the country and witnessed a substantial presence of the NRI community, many of whom are followers of Bapu.

About Morari Bapu:

Morari Bapu embarked on his spiritual journey at the age of 14, reciting Ram Katha under a Banyan tree in Talgajarda. Over the years, he expanded his reach globally, conducting Kathas, including the first overseas Katha in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1976. Recently, he completed a tour, performing Ram Katha in all 12 Jyotirlingas, travelling by train for 18 days. With a global reach spanning 64 years, Morari Bapu has conducted 932 Ram Kathas (793 in India and 139 abroad), each carrying a central message of ‘Truth, Love, and Compassion.’ Morari Bapu adopts a non-commercial approach to his Kathas, taking no remuneration or Dakshina, and all events are accompanied by free vegetarian meals.

THE CHETU FOUNDATION DONATES $60,000 TO FIGHT CLASSROOM HUNGER IN INDIA

JR Choudhary — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 12:54:47 +0530

Noida, India – The Chetu Foundation, the non-profit entity of global software solutions and support services provider Chetu, today announced that it has donated $60,000 to the Akshaya Patra Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending classroom hunger in India.

The donation will support Akshaya Patra's mission of providing free, nutritious mid-day meals to children in government schools across India. More than 200 million children in India face classroom hunger, leading to poor classroom attendance, inability to focus, and poor academics.
"We understand the gravity of school hunger," said Shaili Bansal, Executive Director of the Chetu Foundation. "Akshaya Patra, the world's largest secular school lunch program, aligns with our mission to provide humanitarian aid and education for the next generation. This cannot happen if the kids are starving at school because hungry children struggle to focus — school meals may be their only nutritious food of the day. Many parents send their children to school solely because of the daily meal, which results in the children receiving a healthy meal and an education, as well.

“This humanitarian crisis threatens these children’s health and future success,” she added.
Navin Goel, CEO of Akshaya Patra Foundation USA, said that with generous donations like the one from the Chetu Foundation, Akshaya Patra can feed more children.
“We started with a noble mission of providing 1,500 free meals to underprivileged children in 2000,” Goel added. “Today, we serve over 2.1 million children daily in 23,000-plus government schools in India's 16 states and two union territories.”
“The Chetu Foundation is helping thousands of children and allowing them to live healthier and more productive lives,” he added.
Bansal said non-profit organizations like Akshaya Patra are vital in helping millions of children in India.
“We are proud that we can help provide meals to schoolchildren in India,” she said. “Helping children stay healthy and learn are two of the major reasons we started our foundation.”

Culinary maestro Sanjeev Kapoor, and Chefs Asma Khan, Manish Mehrotra, Prateek Sadhu and Anil Rohira come together to provide a special dining experience to guests

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24: Share Our Strength, an American based charity organisation is expanding its international support to The Akshaya Patra Foundation and The Breakfast Revolution in India, with the intent of working together to build more avenues to nourish children in schools. Share Our Strength announced today that they will host an exclusive fundraiser on March 17th at the ITC Grand Central in Parel, Mumbai in aid of the two Indian charities. The dinner event aims to raise INR 1 crore to provide daily breakfasts and lunches for over 10,000 underprivileged school children for the upcoming academic year. Share Our Strength has also committed to match all donations from the event, thereby doubling the impact.

As India prepares for a $5 trillion economy in the next three years, and more thereafter, it is important to ensure that our upcoming generations can shoulder this high growth. The key to fuelling these aspirations lies in nourishing more of our children with proper nutrition and education. Numerous studies affirm the critical role of daily breakfast and lunch meals in school to improve the cognitive development and learning ability of students.

“Since 2014, we have made steady progress in serving healthy breakfasts to thousands of underprivileged school children. But there is more work to be done. Having served about 400,000 undernourished children and women with about 30.2 million meals, we envision to impact 1 million lives by 2030. This fundraiser is our humble effort towards helping more children, not only to address undernutrition but also act as an incentive to increase school participation rates,” said Pankaj Jethwani, Co-Founder, The Breakfast Revolution.

“We are honoured to collaborate with fellow organizations that share our belief that the path out of poverty starts with proper nutrition. We believe every child deserves a chance to learn on a full stomach. Together, we can ensure thousands more children receive the food they need to thrive,” said Shridhar Venkat, CEO, Akshaya Patra.

“At Share Our Strength, we understand very well how hunger impedes human potential. We believe in the work of The Breakfast Revolution and Akshaya Patra and will match funds raised at this event. Our goal is to build the capacities of both organisations, and add an additional 1 million children to receive school meals over the next 5 years,” said Debbie Shore, Co-founder, Share Our Strength.

The invite-only fundraiser promises to be a landmark event and is chaired by Avani Davda (distinguished business leader and advisor) and Gauri Devidayal (Co-Founder and Director of The Food Matters Group). The leadership teams of all three charities will be present alongside multiple luminaries from across India and other countries.

“I have seen firsthand the monumental impact organizations like Akshaya Patra have had through their nutrition programs. This fundraiser is an opportunity to multiply that impact for thousands more children by joining hands with The Breakfast Revolution and Share Our Strength”, said Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. He further added, “Meals in school help children reach their full potential. By coming together, we can nourish millions of children towards a brighter future.” Several acclaimed chefs such as Manish Mehrotra, Asma Khan, and Anil Rohira will join Kapoor in curating an exceptional culinary experience in support of this noble cause.

Funds raised will deliver on a joint commitment to make a lasting difference in society by addressing critical issues like food security, undernutrition, increased school attendance and reduced dropout rates amongst impoverished children.

We invite all individuals and corporations to support our efforts to nourish the nation.

Anuraag Khandelwal conquers EBC with grit and trusty crutches!

JR Choudhary — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 21:48:03 +0530

Anuraag Khandelwal is the CCO of 82.5 Communications, a specialist agency of Ogilvy India group. Anuraag, a polio survivor aided by a carbon fibre leg brace and two trusty crutches, dared to dream the impossible – Everest Base Camp. It was not easy for Anuraag who trekked on crutches, and sometimes on particularly jagged terrain, moved forward on his butt and hands. Thirteen consecutive days, traversing unforgiving terrains, scaling heights never imagined…from a trek novice to standing at Everest Base Camp, the journey unfolded like a vivid dream.

Here we speak to the man behind mission impossible and how he achieved his goal, challenges notwithstanding...

So a tiny piece of rock reached you from EBC to call you?

Yes! It not only called me… it made me follow it to a mountain!

Are you a man always drawn to challenges?

I would say I am a man who likes to haul himself out of his comfort zone. I don’t necessarily like it while I am at it but I do enjoy the learnings in hindsight.

This trip though was not easy for anyone, with extreme temperatures, dipping oxygen levels and the strenuousness of the trip...

Well, when we finally reached EBC, my Sherpa guide told me that my effort and prep for doing EBC was as good as a person without disabilities summitting the Everest.

I take that with a pinch of salt, but I get what he’s saying.

So yes. It was not easy for me at all.

You decided to undertake this arduous journey, with the challenge of being a polio survivor aided by a carbon fibre leg brace and two trusty crutches.... How easy was it?

There were lots of learnings and issues. I had to improvise on a lot of problems I had never faced with my braces or crutches. The way we kept increasing or reducing the crutch length, the way we modified certain things on my braces for balance… all of it was new! The terrain was unforgiving but I think I had the blessings of the Mountain Gods. I had a fantastic team to support me and guide me through all the twists and turns and encourage me for every achievement, big or small.

Tell us about what it took to train and forge a path of strength and endurance?

How did you come across the sports company with Paralympic insights and retain a personal trainer as your guide? What kind of discipline did it take?

How did you push your boundaries? And how did you make time for it?

Tell us more about a farm turning into a training ground across seasons...

I was a complete novice to trekking and hiking… heck… even walking long distances.

I was sure I wanted to do this so I simply got started.

I got talking to a lot of people about it and one friend recommended a place in Bangalore called Invictus that had some experience with training Paralympic athletes. Bangalore didn’t work out from a physical training perspective as I live in Mumbai. But Invictus introduced me to Potential Health Development, a company that helps athletes with their nutrition needs. So I consulted them for my dietary needs and general health.

My childhood friend Dr Deval Doshi kept a regular check on my mental and physical health. She recommended Sports Med in Mumbai for physical training and I then consulted a physiotherapist there.

I trained extensively with a friend and colleague, VR Rajesh, who spent a lot of time training with me, going up and down hillocks at his farm.

My wife put me onto breathing exercises.

I then met Jayesh Morvankar, who runs Odati Adventures, and he charted out a whole trekking and hiking plan for the entire year of my training and the itinerary

for the EBC trek.

I started weight and endurance training at Gold’s Gym at Goregaon.

I spent every weekend walking and trekking, sometimes at the farm and sometimes in and around Goregaon. Aarey milk colony and National park became my regular walking tracks. I started climbing the floors of my building regularly. I went for regular physio trainings. I walked and trained after office hours, before office hours and weekends!

My wife and best friend Kuhelee, my closest friends - VR Rajesh, Dr. Deval Doshi, Mandar Khatkul, my dietician Alia Abreo, my trainer Vaibhav Bhagwat,

my physio Aarti Mahadik, my yoga teacher Sonali Kalgaonkar who runs Golden Earth and so many more people came together to make this happen. It truly took a village to make my EBC endeavour come true. All of these people trained me and before I hit the EBC track, I was doing 8-9 kms walks, 50 floors up and 50 floors down, up and down steep terrains and what not.

What were your feeling when it came to actually taking the precarious road to Everest?

I was excited, nervous, scared, vulnerable, happy, sure but unsure, resolved, strong, weak, butterflies in stomach, full of josh, emotional - all at one time!! But mostly excited.

Thirteen consecutive days, traversing unforgiving terrains, scaling heights never imagined…from a trek novice to standing at Everest Base Camp, the journey, of trekking nine to eleven hours a day, in temperatures from -9° to -15°Celsius.... How did you manage?

By sheer will and ziddi-ness, with the good wishes of family, friends and my team, AND a huge chunk of luck!

At any point did you feel I made a mistake? What kept you going?

My resolve. My doggedness. I just wanted to make that picture I had in my head of being at EBC, a reality.

What was the difficult part?

Waiting for almost 3 hrs for the chopper to arrive the next day after completing EBC since there was an earthquake in Nepal and all the choppers had been redirected for rescues.

What was your feeling on reaching EBC?

I was exhausted. It was not at all pretty like I thought it would be! It was much below freezing temperatures when I touched that EBC stone. But it felt really good!

I was proud of myself, my entire team and it felt awesome to wave our national flag! But the first thing I remember thinking to myself after I touched down was

“I want to go home”.

What did the trip teach you? What would you like to tell others today?

If you really want to start finding out who you are, do something that’s very out of your comfort zone and so boring that it compels you to look inside and not only outward.

Vijay Diwas: How Indian Navy’s Stealth Attack on Pakistan Won us the 1971 War

JR Choudhary — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 16:44:46 +0530

Admiral SM Nanda – The Man who steered Indian Navy to a resounding victory during 1971 Indo -Pak War

– Every year, the nation celebrates Vijay Diwas on 16th December. But do we know the story behind the valour that brought victory for India in the 1971 war against Pakistan?

– Brain child of then Naval Chief Admiral Nanda, Operations Trident and Python were at the core of India’s victory in 1971, leading to surrender of Pakistani Army on December 16, 1971 and the creation of Bangladesh from the erstwhile East Pakistan.

– The trail of devastation left behind by Operations Trident and Operation Python sent a shiver down the spine of Pak establishment. Karachi Port kept burning for seven days. It displayed the strategic prowess and determination of the Indian Navy under the stellar leadership of Admiral Nanda.

New Delhi (India), December 18: Vijay Diwas, celebrated on December 16th every year, commemorates India’s resounding victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, a historic event that led to the liberation of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, after the devastation of Karachi Port, which was scripted solely due to the determined leadership of then Naval Chief Admiral Nanda.

Brainchild of then Naval Chief Admiral Nanda, Operations Trident and Python were at the core of India’s victory in 1971, leading to the decisive triumph of India over Pakistani forces and the surrender of the enemy on December 16, 1971 and the creation of Bangladesh from the erstwhile East Pakistan.

This incredible feat was accomplished greatly because of the valour, determination and action-oriented stellar leadership of Admiral Nanda. The Indian Navy devastated Karachi Port, the citadel of Pakistani military establishment and economy, demonstrating his strategic prowess and unwavering determination to take on the enemy head-on.

Operations Trident and Python – an excellent strategic and meticulous war planning of Admiral Nanda – changed the course of war. The trail of devastation left behind by the most audacious attack by the heroes of Admiral Nanda sent a shiver down the spine of Pak establishment. Karachi Port kept burning for seven days. It displayed the strategic prowess and determination of the Indian Navy under the stellar leadership of Admiral Nanda and scripted a rare victory in the world’s war time annals.

On December 3, 1971 Pakistan had launched an unprovoked attack on Indian airfields. India faced challenges from both West Pakistan and East Pakistan and was left with no choice but to respond with decisive force. Known for his aggressive and action-oriented leadership, Admiral Nanda, popularly known as Charles Nanda, went for a swift and bold attack on the enemy on December 4 – Operation Trident.

Admiral Nanda decided the deadly attack on the Karachi harbour to ensure a complete blockade on the Pakistani Navy, effectively cutting the western command from East Pakistan. In the Eastern theatre, he planned the deployment of the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant in the Gulf of Bengal off East Pakistan to open a front from seaward to completely blockade it and prevent reinforcements – ammunition and all supplies from reaching it. Karachi Port burnt for seven days, leaving Pakistani forces and economy totally crippled. It displayed the strategic prowess and determination of Admiral Nanda.

The 1971 War was the only war in which the Indian Navy took part and brought rare laurels to the nation. Touted as one of the world’s most daring war strategies, Operations Trident destroyed and sank battle-class destroyer PNS Khaibar, ammunition carrier Venus Challenger, an adjutant-class minesweeper PNS Muhafiz, and destroyer PNS Shah Jahan.

Operation Python launched on the night of December 8-9, 1971 proved the last nail in Pakistan’s coffin. Admiral Nanda showed extreme courage and valour to go back and attack the enemy in his citadel a second time. The Indian Navy assaulted the gathering of boats off the shoreline of Karachi. Pakistani armada tanker PNS Dacca was destroyed and the Kemari oil storage was again put on fire, bringing complete devastation to Karachi port. India endured no misfortunes.

The ferocious and swift Operation Trident proved and achieved what Admiral Nanda had said two years ago in a media interview in 1969 when he was the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Western Naval Command: “…You have my word that given the opportunity, the Indian Navy will make the world’s biggest bonfire of it.” He proved, accomplished and showed to the world the mettle he epitomized.

Rightly hailed and revered as the ‘Man Who Bombed Karachi’ Admiral Nanda was awarded Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian award, for his outstanding courageousness during the war.

However, fifty-two years on, what continues to disappoint Naval veterans is the sordid denial of the of ‘Admiral of the Fleet’ honour to Indian Navy and then Naval Chief, who planned and executed Operation Trident and Python with finesse on the night of December 4, 1971, recording the only victory in the annals of maritime war.

A befitting acknowledgement of the magnificent services and extraordinary leadership Admiral Nanda provided to the Indian Navy during the most critical juncture in the nation’s history will be the conferment of most deserving and long awaited ‘Admiral of the Fleet’ honour upon him posthumously which will also serve as an inspiration for the future generations of naval officers.

The Dehradun Declaration at the Sixth World Conference on Disaster Management (WCDM) – 2023

JR Choudhary — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 12:04:50 +0530

Dehradun Proclamation – 2023

New Delhi (India), December 2: The central theme of this Sixth World Conference has been to strengthen climate resilience and disaster resilience, especially in the context of mountainous geographical systems and communities. This global conference draws inspiration from the Vedic mantra:

“I am the son of Mother Earth, and Mother Earth is sacred to me; the Himalayas are revered.”

It reaffirms our commitment as Indians to consider this land sacred and the Himalayas venerable. Our concern for the environment is a dedication and devotion to our Mother Earth, reflecting our reverence and faith.

Central Emphasis

This world conference addresses the challenges faced by the world’s youngest mountain system, experiences of local communities, and the dependence on these systems for daily life. The Himalayas serve as a vivid example of ongoing environmental crises, disasters, and global challenges arising from climate change. Active participation of balanced systems and communities plays a crucial role in coping with dangers, risks, and disasters. The conference proposes action plans that prioritize implementation based on urgency not only for all Himalayan states but also for other related areas.

Context of Implementation

Enhancing disaster resilience (resilience) preparedness

It is crucial to specifically prepare the youth of the border areas of mountainous states for disaster management. Ensuring the continuous monitoring and evaluation of dynamic projects and creating a conducive environment for this purpose is particularly essential.

Empowering Mountain Communities

– Educating communities about specific risks they face and preparing them to deal with disasters is necessary.

– A broad understanding of environmental science and community participation is essential for better disaster awareness and for utilizing traditional knowledge and local language-culture on a large scale.

– In order to reduce dependence on vulnerable areas, it is vital to strengthen livelihoods and livelihood systems, ensuring their diversity. Additionally, preparing for and ensuring prompt response and restoration are essential.

– Establishing networks and partnerships between communities, self-help groups, government and non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders is necessary to enhance support for disaster-resistant arrangements.

Support for Policy Integration

– Support is needed for policies and systems that focus on the vulnerabilities of disaster risk and strengthen disaster resistance over time. Establishing a modern ‘Disaster Management Institute’ in the state that focuses on policies and initiatives for the resilience of disaster risk in the Himalayas is particularly necessary.

– This institute should be set up on a mission mode to develop knowledge, databases, and information systems for preparing suitable policies and strategies for disaster risk resilience.

– Ensuring the readiness of all components of sustainable environmental systems, secure environments, and health services during emergency situations and pandemics in the Himalayas is crucial.

Commitment to Innovation

– Contributing to a well-prepared society for disaster resistance requires contributing to new perspectives, methods, systems, and tools in entrepreneurship and innovation. Encouraging investment in start-ups and entrepreneurship in developing new tools and applications for disaster resistance and risk prediction in emergency situations and disasters in the Himalayas.

In his address, Lieutenant General (Retired) Shri Gurmeet Singh, the Chief Guest and Governor of Uttarakhand, emphasized the significance of the conference in addressing challenges posed by natural disasters globally. He highlighted the collaborative efforts of scientists and specialists from more than 70 countries in devising strategies to mitigate the impact of disasters. The Governor expressed confidence that the knowledge gained from this conference would benefit nations worldwide facing various calamities.

Shri Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister, Ministry of Earth Sciences said policymakers should be sensitised to the need for disaster risk reduction and resilience, given the increasing frequency and intensity of natural calamities. This underscores the urgency for robust policies and collaborative efforts to fortify disaster management and resilience strategies, particularly in the vulnerable Himalayan region. The participants and organizers of the Sixth World Conference are firmly committed to relentless efforts towards the direction of a well-organized and secure future, contributing to global efforts for the resolution of the Himalayan and mountainous community’s flexible and sustainable direction.

Celebrating the Teachings of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji: A Message of Giving, Equality, and Selflessness- Dr Vivek Bindra

JR Choudhary — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 12:37:18 +0530

New Delhi (India), November 28: Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurupurab, is a prestigious festival that holds a special place in the heart of the Sikh community. It celebrates the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak, and is celebrated with great passion and enthusiasm.

During this auspicious occasion, people come together to spread joy and happiness by helping the needy, providing food to the poor, and distributing clothes to those in need. It is a time of giving and sharing, and the community takes immense pleasure in serving society.

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings have a deep impact on the world and continue to inspire people to this day. He believed that anyone could connect with God by worshipping with a clean conscience. He taught the importance of truth and respect for all religions, showing that service is the essence of life, and explained the profound meaning of “Ek Onkar.”

On the 554th birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, let us all come together to celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings and spread love, peace, and harmony in the world.

Preachings of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji: Three Pillars of Sikh Dharam

Born in Rāi Bhoi Kī Talvaṇḍī, Sheikhupura, Pakistan, he possessed godly powers. He started meditation at the age of 4 and read almost all holy books by the age of 6. Not only this, he learnt many languages such as Persian, Hindi, Sanskrit, etc. at the age of 7 and gave the message of Ek Onkar at the age of 8.

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji explained the meaning of SIKH, which stands for Selfless Service, Integrity, Kindness, and Honesty. He also emphasized the importance of equality and selflessness among humans in the three main pillars of Sikh Dharma.

Supporting the Community (Vand Chakna)

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, was a great believer in supporting and helping the community. At the age of 12, he was given a task by his father to earn a profit of 20 rupees by visiting the next village. However, upon reaching there, he saw that people were starving and in need of food, and instead of making a profit, he spent the money on feeding the hungry. When scolded by his father for not fulfilling the task, he replied that it was a true deal (Sacha Sodha) for him, as he believed that “nothing can be more profitable than helping the needy.”

This act of kindness initiated the Langar tradition, which involves providing free food to anyone who visits the Gurudwara (Sikh temple). Today, this tradition continues in every Sikh community, and millions of meals have been served at the Golden Temple in Amritsar alone.

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s philosophy was all about helping others, and this is a message that still resonates today. Just like Khan Sir, who rejected a 107 Cr. package and instead decided to provide quality education to underprivileged students for just 200 rupees. He owns one of the top Educational YouTube channels in India. This is a perfect example of how businesses should be run – with the purpose of helping society first and then making a profit.

At Billionair’s Blueprint, we strongly believe in this philosophy and talk about purpose before profit. We believe that businesses that prioritize helping others will never run out of opportunities to earn, and the satisfaction that comes from making a positive impact on people’s lives is priceless.

Integrity and Honesty (Kirat Karna)

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji lived by his principles of honesty and integrity as he believed that one’s intentions were more important than their actions. For example, once the richest man in town, Malik Bhagoo, invited Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji for dinner. However, on the way there, Shri Govind Nanak Dev Ji stopped at carpenter Laloo’s house for dinner. When Malik Bhagoo found out, he got angry and demanded an explanation from Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, asking him “Why he choose to eat at Laloo’s house instead of his?”.

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji remained calm and collected, and asked both men to bring their chapatis. Once they arrived, he squeezed the chapatis, blood flowed out from Bhagoo’s chapati while milk flowed from Laloo’s. This simple act spoke volumes about the integrity and honesty of both men and proved that Dev Ji’s belief in the importance of one’s intentions was true.

Later Laloo was seen with Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji at many places and his place was later known as Gurudwara Khoi Bhai Laloo. However, this motivated Sardar Jassa Singh to save the lives of 22,000 women, Bhagat Singh to die for the nation and Atal Bihari Vajpayee to resign from the post of PM(1996) and his speech stating that parties would come and go but nation’s integrity shall remain the same.

The Power Of Chanting (Naam Japana)

Chanting the name of God or following divine instructions represents a universal truth that transcends religious boundaries. Whether one refers to the Bhagavad Gita or the Guru Granth Sahib, the act of reading these sacred texts is viewed as attaching to the path set forth by the divine. For instance, when faced with life’s challenges, opening any page of the Bhagavad Gita is believed to yield answers, illustrating the profound impact of spiritual teachings.

This phenomenon is not exclusive to a particular faith; it resonates across religions. In Christianity, a similar sentiment is expressed in the commandment, “Thou shall chant the holy names of the Lord.” The essence lies in the recognition that seeking guidance through the scriptures or engaging in spiritual practices has a universal and transformative effect, fostering a connection with the divine regardless of one’s religious affiliation.

Sikh communities today flourish in over 80 countries worldwide, with Punjabi serving as the second language of Canada, encouraging a sense of unity in community building. The historical journey of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, spanning approximately 28,000 km, took him across the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia, where he shared his deep and spiritual teachings.

Interestingly, in various regions, Guru Nanak Dev Ji was known by different names, highlighting the widespread impact of his message. In Afghanistan, he was revered as Peer Balagdaan, in Sri Lanka as Nanakarcharya, in China as Baba Foosa, in Sikkim and Bhutan as Guru Rinpoche, and many more appellations. Despite these diverse titles, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji consistently preached his three fundamental pillars throughout his global journey.

Suhana Swasthyam: The Global Festival of Wellness takes center stage from December 1st to 3rd Dec in Pune

JR Choudhary — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 12:37:15 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 28: Suhana Swasthyam, an extraordinary event, stands as a radiant celebration of mindfulness, deeply rooted in its origins in India and holding profound significance in our contemporary lives. Positioned as India’s largest wellness festival, Swasthyam aims to bring together esteemed dignitaries, spiritual leaders, health educators, and wellness experts to illuminate the path to inner well-being. Among the speakers is Gabriella Burnel, popularly known as Gaiea Sanskrit, hailing from England, who graciously shared her insights with us. Here are some edited excerpts from our conversation:

1. Tell us about your relationship with the language Sanskrit. How did it start?

I was born to parents who studied advaita Vedānta philosophy, enabling them to read and write Sanskrit and recite verses from the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. They sent me to a school in London where Sanskrit was taught, and I studied it from the age of 4 to 18.

2. What have you studied in Sanskrit, and did you ever have a teacher who taught you?

At school, we delved into the stories of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, reading Hitopadesha, Gita, and Upanishads under the guidance of teachers like Mr. and Mrs. Jessup, Miss Morgan, and Mrs. Harper. Later, at Oxford University, I studied Panini and Buddhist texts. My journey continued with further study at a gurukula in India and in Pondicherry with a cherished teacher.

3. How did you get associated with the Swasthyam event?

The organizers extended an invitation for me to participate and share Samskrit chants. The event resonated with a noble intent—to share the beauty and wealth of Samskritic culture and wisdom with all.

4. In your life, how important is health and wellness? What can one expect from you in the Swasthyam event? Please elaborate in detail.

Health and wellness, to me, are primarily a state of mind and an attitude toward daily life. A heart full of love and being present are crucial. Physical health, especially gut health and digestion, holds significance, and I believe chanting contributes positively. At the Swasthyam event, I will share some simple Sanskrit chants and stotrams, allowing attendees to experience the pure sounds of Sanskrit—a language that transcends to become a whole system of vibrations.

5. How many times have you visited India before?

I have been to India about 15 times.

Suhana Swasthyam is a wellness festival dedicated to promoting mindfulness, inner well-being, and holistic health. It brings together a remarkable assembly of speakers, experts, and artists to inspire and guide individuals on their journey to a balanced and harmonious life.

JR Choudhary — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 17:07:49 +0530

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 6: Dr. AK Dwivedi, Member of the Scientific Advisory Board, Central Council for research in Homeopathy, Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, shared valuable insights on the control of aplastic anemia through homeopathic treatments at the 16th International Homoeopathic Conference organized by Hahnemann College of Homoeopathy, United Kingdom.

During his address at the conference, Dr. Dwivedi highlighted the significance of traditional Indian cuisine in preventing aplastic anemia. He emphasized that specific Indian recipes such as “gond ke laddu,” “meve ke laddu,” and “khas-khas ka halwa” have proven to be highly beneficial in managing conditions like aplastic anemia. These recipes, which are commonly consumed in regions like Indore and other parts of northern and central India, are rich in essential nutrients like magnesium, copper, iron, vitamins, niacin, phosphorus, and proteins. Their consumption not only boosts blood production but also enhances the body’s immune response, reducing vulnerability to diseases.

Dr. Dwivedi also pointed out that ingredients like sesame and jaggery (til-gur) are extensively used in Indian cuisine. These ingredients are known to increase blood levels, making them effective in combating aplastic anemia. While these delicacies are particularly popular during cold weather in India, they can be consumed throughout the year in places like London, where the climate allows for their usage over 8 to 9 months annually.

The conference attendees were captivated by Dr. Dwivedi’s presentation, where he shared case studies of five patients who successfully recovered from aplastic anemia through his homeopathic treatments. These patients underwent treatment regimens that included gond ke laddu, meve ke laddu, and khas-khas ka halwa, all of which significantly contributed to their recovery. Dr. Dwivedi highlighted the nutritional value of these traditional Indian sweets, citing the presence of calcium, protein, magnesium, iron, and other vital nutrients that strengthen bones and increase blood levels. Additionally, he discussed the benefits of pinnee laddu, especially for pregnant and lactating women, as it helps in boosting hemoglobin levels and overall health.

Following his presentation, Dr. Dwivedi conducted free check-ups for patients suffering from anemia and bleeding disorders, offering them necessary homeopathic medicines. His research and expertise were duly acknowledged at the conference, and he was honored with an international award.

In the past, Dr. Dwivedi has presented his research papers in many international & national homeopathic conferences. Along with aplastic anemia, he is providing a lot of relief to the patients with homeopathic medicines on pancytopenia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia and bone marrow diseases.Currently he is working as Director and CEO, Advanced Homeo Health Center Indore, he is also a member of the Executive Council of Devi Ahilya University Indore MP India

Dr. Shashimohan Sharma, the director of the organizing institution, expressed gratitude to all the participating homeopathic practitioners from various countries, including the United Kingdom, India, Serbia, Italy, Singapore, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

How to Transform Ravan’s 10 Sins into Virtues: Insights from Swami Advaitananda Giri

JR Choudhary — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:29:21 +0530

Toronto (Canada), October 26: Indo-Canadians came together in remarkable numbers to joyously celebrate Dussehra. Festive commemorations took place in numerous temples across the region, with Brampton’s Hindu Sabha temple being a focal point of the grandeur. A staggering crowd of over ten thousand individuals graced this auspicious occasion. The Indian diaspora converged in Brampton, where they relished the vibrant re-enactment of Ram Leela and the symbolic burning of Ravan’s effigy, all set against the backdrop of a spectacular fireworks display.

Speaking at the event Kamal Khera, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion, and Persons with Disabilities of Govt. of Canada said “As Hindus in Canada and across the world break their fast as Navratri ends, I wish everyone celebrating a very Happy Dussehra! This joyous celebration marks the victory of good over evil and the triumph of righteousness, symbolized by the victory of lord Rama over the demon Ravana.”

Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton said “Jai Shri Ram, wishing Brampton a prosperous Dussehra this evening. The turnout is incredible. May the triumph of good over evil inspire us all.”

Ruby Sahota, Member of Parliament, Brampton North stated that It’s an absolute pleasure to celebrate Dussehra with the community in Brampton; Dussehra is a major Hindu festival celebrating the victory of good over evil. Like past years, this year, the Hindu Sabha Mandir entertained the thousands of people in attendance with a beautiful rendition of Ramlila, a dramatic performance of the story of Lord Rama, teaching the harm of letting one’s vices take control. At the end of the play an effigy of the demon Ravana, built 4 stories high was lit on fire, signifying the victory of Lord Rama.

Swami Advaitananda Giri, Chairman of, the International Meditation Foundation explained that “The ten heads of Ravan are symbolic and they are interpreted as Ego, Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Selfishness, Jealousy, Arrogance, Ignorance & Injustice.

Meditation practices can be a transformative path to convert the ten sins associated with Ravana into ten virtues. Through deep introspection and mindfulness, individuals can dismantle their ego by recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. Lust can be transmuted into a deep appreciation for the beauty of life without attachment. Anger can be replaced with inner peace and emotional balance. Greed can be replaced by contentment and generosity. Attachment can transform into detachment, allowing one to let go gracefully as explained by Swami Advaitananda Giri.

Swami Advaitananda Giri further stated “Selfishness can be dissolved by cultivating selflessness. Jealousy can be overcome through practicing gratitude and celebrating others’ successes. Arrogance can be humbled by recognizing our inherent limitations. Ignorance can be dispelled through knowledge and wisdom gained from meditation. Injustice can be replaced by a commitment to fairness and compassion towards all. Ultimately, meditation fosters self-awareness and helps individuals cultivate virtues that align with a more harmonious and compassionate way of living.”

Swami Advaitananda Giri, who advocated for the inclusion of universal human values in India’s National Education Policy 2020, suggested that Canada and other part of the world should also make Universal Human Values as part of their education curriculum. In America, US CDC 2021 reports that 32.4% overall population is affected with Anxiety or Depression disorders, out of this 46.6% of youth in the age group of 18-29 were also reported to be affected with Anxiety or Depression disorders.

A serious question arises If 32.4% population is having serious mental health issues like anxiety or depression then It can be safely presumed that to have an anxiety or depression rate of 32.4 %, there must be a need for at least 3 times more sad people in the population, this leads to 32.4% x 3 = 97.2% of the total population. If 97.2% population is sad then there is a likelihood that 99% population must be experiencing the emotions of worry, fear, the feeling of failure, etc… The feeling of worry forms the basis of sadness, sadness leads to anxiety or depression, and further anxiety or depression results in the very serious act of suicide or violent behavior.

Depression or anxiety doesn’t occur directly. It is caused in progressive stages out of the feeling of sadness or dejection etc… As the sadness or dejection type of emotions deepens then only it will take the shape of depression or anxiety, not straightway. This means that depression or anxiety is an outcome of the prevalence of sadness among the larger population. For example, if one person has been diagnosed with depression or anxiety that means behind this there must be at least three people or more who were already experiencing sadness or dejection type of emotional imbalance explained Swami Advaitananda Giri.

Empowering Communities: Mindtickle’s CSR Initiative Transforms Lives in Pune’s Mahalunge Village

JR Choudhary — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 11:55:38 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 13: The complex issue of migrant labor problems in Pune, Maharashtra, is deeply intertwined with the challenges faced by rural communities in Vidarbha and Marathwada. These regions, known for their agricultural heritage, have grappled with economic difficulties stemming from factors like inadequate irrigation facilities, low productivity, and insufficient government support.

Consequently, many farmers and agricultural labourers from these areas seek refuge in urban centers such as Pune in search of better employment prospects. However, the transition from rural to urban life often brings with it an array of hardships. Migrant workers, driven by the hope for improved livelihoods, often encounter a harsh reality marked by low wages, substandard working conditions, a lack of social security, and limited access to fundamental necessities like healthcare and education.

In response to these challenges, Mindtickle, a leading organization, has undertaken a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. This initiative is aimed at addressing the multifaceted problems faced by the Mahalunge community, a large village situated in the Mulshi Taluka of Pune district, Maharashtra, near the Mumbai-Bangalore highway, with a total of 1517 families residing.

Spherule Foundation, a Pune-based NGO renowned for its work in Education, Health, Women Empowerment, Livelihood, and Environment, is implementing this project on the ground.

Education, Women’s Livelihood, and Health: A Holistic and Integrated Approach

Under this integrated project, Mindtickle and the Spherule Foundation, a Pune-based NGO responsible for its implementation on the ground, have identified three core aspects aimed at uplifting the Mahalunge community: Education, Women’s Livelihood, and Health.

1. Education: Over the past two years, substantial efforts have been directed towards Mahalunge’s government school, Madhyamik Vidyalay. As part of these efforts, a full-time educator has been provided to the school, aimed at enhancing the quality of education. Moreover, a comprehensive Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) program has been initiated to ensure that students have access to clean and safe facilities. The project also encompasses awareness programs on vital topics such as gender equality, menstrual hygiene, and mental health, fostering holistic well-being among the students.

2. Women’s Livelihood: Empowering women is a cornerstone of this initiative. Spherule Foundation has been conducting training programs in various skills, including sewing, knitting, paper bag making, and sanitary napkin production. Recently, an important milestone was achieved as certificates of completion were distributed to women who successfully completed the tailoring course. These women are now poised to receive employment opportunities or business training, enabling them to establish a sustainable source of income. This not only empowers these women but also contributes to the economic growth of the entire community.

3. Health: In addition to its focus on education and women’s livelihood, the health component aims to promote preventive care and raise awareness within the community. A health camp has been established to provide health check-ups and screenings, facilitating the early detection of health issues and enabling timely interventions. By emphasizing preventive care, the project seeks to alleviate the burden of preventable diseases and foster a healthier, more resilient community. Furthermore, alongside the health camps, the project conducts informative health awareness sessions. These sessions cover topics of profound significance, including menstrual hygiene, mental health, and sanitation. By imparting knowledge and fostering awareness on these subjects, the initiative empowers community members to make informed health decisions, promoting overall well-being and contributing to a healthier and more informed community.

Impact Beyond Numbers

The impact of Mindtickle’s efforts goes beyond statistics. By providing education, livelihood opportunities, and healthcare support and awareness, the initiative is not just addressing immediate issues but also laying the foundation for a sustainable future for Mahalunge.

Community Voices:

Residents of Mahalunge express their gratitude for Mindtickle’s unwavering support. Poonam Gaikwad, a beneficiary of the sewing training program, shared her joy, saying, “This initiative has changed our lives. I can now contribute to my family’s income and send my children to school with pride.”

A Brighter Tomorrow

Mindtickle’s CSR initiative in Mahalunge serves as a shining example of corporate responsibility, proving that with dedication and strategic intervention, transformative change is possible. As more corporations join hands with communities, the dream of a prosperous, empowered India moves one step closer to becoming a reality.

A distinguished naval officer and strategist par excellence, Admiral Nanda created maritime history for independent India by his visionary and daring leadership in the 1971 Indo-Pak War.

Admiral Nanda orchestrated Operations Trident and Python, daring naval attacks on Karachi the citadel of Pakistani Navy, setting it aflame and causing colossal damage to its naval fleet which proved a watershed moment in the 1971 War leading to the creation of an independent Bangladesh from the erstwhile East Pakistan.

Man of Rare Conviction

Admiral Nanda was gifted with a rare kind of conviction, farsightedness and rock-solid determination to take on challenges head on. His firm command led the Indian Navy to play a crucial role in India’s wartime victory, his strategic acumen and dedication to the nation’s maritime security has left an indelible mark on our naval history, making him a revered figure in the country’s military annals, as the man who scripted the only victory in the naval history of India and that too without any casualty on our side.

‘And if war comes again, I assure you that we shall carry it right into the enemy’s biggest ports like Karachi .I know this harbour quite well, for I started my career there. And you have my word that given the opportunity, the Indian Navy will make the world’s biggest bonfire of it .’

– Admiral S M Nanda, then Chief of the Naval Staff, at a press conference in Jamnagar, November 1971.

The Man Who Bombed Karachi Port

Under the stellar leadership of Admiral Nanda, the Indian Navy’s wartime tactics stunned the world. The bombing of Karachi from the sea in the 1971 War, braving all odds and challenges was a daring and incredible feat by the Indian Navy that phenomenally exemplified his resilience, farsightedness and conviction to win the war.

His dashing personality and decisive decision making were greatly applauded by then political leadership, who had given him a free hand in taking Operation Trident and Operation Python to its logical conclusion, which led to the devastation of Karachi port.

Admiral Nanda also strategically deployed missile boats, which attacked naval targets and an oil tank farm at Keamari port. Operation Trident sank Pakistan Navy destroyer PNS Khaibar, minesweeper PNS Muhafiz, an ammunition-carrying ship MV Venus Challenger. Operation Python proved the last nail in the Pak Navy’s coffin.

Hailed and revered as the ‘Man Who Bombed Karachi’ utilizing the daring Russian applied Missile Boats during 1971 Indo-Pak War, Admiral Nanda was awarded Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian award, for his outstanding courageousness during the war.

A Brilliant Strategist

Against the threat that Pakistan’s Ghazi submarine posed, Admiral Nanda devised an innovative strategy wherein he feigned a defensive deployment of our aircraft carrier southeast towards the Andaman Islands and lured the Ghazi submarine positioned outside Visakhapatnam harbour to its watery grave.

In the Eastern theatre, Admiral Nanda planned the deployment of the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant in the Gulf of Bengal off East Pakistan to open a front from seaward to blockade it and prevent reinforcements or supplies from reaching it. Simultaneously, he lent his support for the training of Bangladesh freedom fighters, who went on to sabotage enemy shipping and cripple the port operations in East Pakistan.

ACCOLADES By RUSSIA And AMERICA

What Admiral Nanda was able to achieve was extraordinary and unprecedented. The victory was so astounding and decisive that using the Missile Boats – meant for limited defensive applications– even amazed the Russians, who were not ready to believe that their boats could go so far and so fiercely and inflict so much damage to the enemy.

“My Great Indian friends have achieved the impossible,” Admiral of the Heroic Fleet of the Soviet Union (Glavkom) – Gorshkov shared his astonishment and alacrity with Admiral Nanda over his remarkable triumph.

Even the American Admiral in his inscription on his memoir ‘ON WATCH,’ by Elmo R Zumwalt Jr, Admiral USN (Retd) wrote: “To Admiral SM Nanda who knew the key, in 1971, to avoiding mishap! With respect!” Admiral Zumwalt, who was the Chief of Naval Operations, US Navy, in 1971 and led the U S Seventh Fleet to intimidate India during the 1971 Indo Pak war.

Admiral Zumwalt visited India and in a letter dated 6th December 1989 to Admiral Nanda, shared the inscribed copy of his book ‘ON WATCH’ wherein he mentions: “Here, in India, Admiral Nanda, now retired, told us that his instructions to his ships at that time were – If you encounter US Navy ships, invite their captains onboard for a drink.”

‘ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET’ FOR THE MAN who achieved the MOMENTOUS VICTORY of 1971′

The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi congratulated Chiefs of the three services, General Sam Manekshaw, Admiral SM Nanda and Air Chief Marshal PC Lal for their remarkable feat.

A befitting acknowledgement of the magnificent services and extraordinary leadership Admiral Nanda provided to the Indian Navy during a critical juncture in the nation’s history will be the conferment of ‘Admiral of the Fleet’ honour on him.

This gesture will serve as a reminder of the dedication, courage, strategic brilliance and unwavering commitment for excellence displayed by the Indian Navy under the magnificent leadership of Admiral Nanda for ages to come and give a sense of pride to Indians for winning a historic Naval Battle against severe odds.

Let Admiral Nanda’s Memory Live Long

By giving this due recognition posthumously to Admiral Nanda, a symbol of inspiration and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Indian Navy, we will only ensure that his great legacy inspires current and future generations of naval officers to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and dedication in the defense of their nation’s sovereignty.

Admiral Nanda had a charismatic personality, who motivated his fledgling Navy to achieve the impossible, foresaw the bigger picture, ensured swift planning and adaptation to highly dynamic wartime circumstances and led by example to add a scintillating feather in India’s ever dazzling armour.

How magnificent was Admiral Nanda as a Naval leader has been beautifully described later by one of his successors the Naval Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta in his tribute to him in 2009: “He (Admiral Nanda) will always be remembered in the most glowing terms for his leadership of the Indian Navy during the Indo-Pak Conflict of 1971, in which the Indian Navy carved its name in golden letters in the annals of history by its sterling offensive actions.”

Columnist and Political Analyst Abhishek Gupta’s take on The New Parliament of INDIA

JR Choudhary — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 16:41:58 +0530

New Delhi (India), October 12: Columnist and political analyst Abhishek Gupta said that with the construction of a new Parliament building, India, the largest democracy in the world, is poised to significantly alter the political landscape of its nation. This large-scale undertaking symbolizes not only a physical transformation but also India’s dedication to democracy, advancement, and inclusivity. Since 1927, India’s legislature has met at the opulent Sir Edwin Lutyens-designed Parliament House, a remnant of the colonial era. However, as India’s population increased and its political climate changed, it became clear that a contemporary, cutting-edge, and larger legislative institution was needed. The famous architect Bimal Patel has created a stunning fusion of modernity and tradition with the new Parliament building. The Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) both are housed here, making up India’s Parliament. Mr. Abhishek said that the design, which draws inspiration from India’s rich cultural and architectural past, combines components from different parts of the nation to highlight how diversity can coexist peacefully. The eco-friendly and sustainable design of the new Parliament building is one of its most remarkable aspects. It is built with an emphasis on eliminating waste, harnessing renewable energy sources, and decreasing carbon impact. This demonstrates India’s dedication to resolving environmental issues and creating a more sustainable future.

The new Parliament building is technologically advanced in addition to being ecologically friendly. Mr. Gupta also added that as a result, parliamentarians can function more effectively and honestly. This includes contemporary communication methods, audiovisual amenities, and digital voting systems. Legislative procedures are streamlined with the introduction of digital interfaces, making it simpler for elected officials to interact with their constituents and approve legislation. More inclusive and accessible features have been included to the new Parliament building. All citizens are able to engage in the democratic process thanks to improved facilities for those with problems with mobility. This dedication to diversity reflects India’s desire to be a country where all viewpoints are heard and taken into account. The enhanced seating capacity of the new Parliament building is another noteworthy aspect. The larger facility ensured that the legislative process should suit the expanding needs of India’s democracy, as the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are anticipated to have more members in the future. India’s dynamic and expanding political landscape is reflected in this expansion. Mr. Gupta then stated that however, the cost of construction is a major consideration. The project’s costs increased dramatically from its initial estimate of roughly 971 crore INR.

Critics around him contend that these funds could have been used more wisely to address essential problems including healthcare, education, and rural infrastructure. Parliamentary business was hampered and MPs were inconvenienced by the construction process itself. This impediment to the legislative process made it more difficult to pass significant laws and programs. Although the former Parliament building served as a symbol of modernity, its flaws, such as rising costs, resource diversions, environmental effects, and disruptions to lawmaking, raised important issues about its necessity and the distribution of resources in a nation facing a wide range of challenges. To make sure the project actually benefited India, a critical assessment is extremely necessary.

JR Choudhary — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 15:56:20 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], October 7: Viral Desai, a distinguished environmentalist and author affectionately known as the “Green Man,” has marked a remarkable milestone in his literary journey by releasing the second edition of his debut book, ‘Architect of Amritpath.’ This joyous occasion was made even more special as it was inaugurated by the special kids of Surat, following the resounding success of the book’s first edition in both English and Gujarati languages within a mere two months.

Speaking about his unexpected journey as an author, Viral Desai shared, “I always say that I am an accidental writer. But I didn’t know that the book would achieve such tremendous success. It is a pleasant surprise to me as well that two editions of my book have been released in just two months. I believe that the people of our country have an incredible passion for Prime Minister Narendrabhai Modi, and they embraced this book, which delves into Modiji’s transformative initiatives, with immense enthusiasm.”

‘Architect of Amritpath’ by Greenman Viral Desai offers an insightful account of the environmental initiatives undertaken during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two tenures. The book provides a compelling analysis of key projects initiated by Prime Minister Modi, ranging from the ‘Big Cat Alliance’ to ‘Namami Gange’ and ‘Mission Life.’

The second edition of this impactful book was launched by the students of ‘Sanskarkunj Vidyalaya, Surat,’ who are differently-abled. Viral Desai expressed his immense happiness on this occasion, stating, “It is a great privilege for me to release the second edition of my book at the hands of these exceptional children, especially in a time when the term ‘Divyang’ was coined by Modiji. Being blessed by these extraordinary messengers of God, I am confident that the second edition of my book will also receive an overwhelming response.”

Kerala CM inaugurated CIAL’s seven Mega Projects

JR Choudhary — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 16:09:20 +0530

Kerala remains steadfast in implementing alternative ideas to Liberalisation: Chief Minister

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has launched seven mega projects of Cochin International Airport Limited, ideated to address future traffic, cargo growth and safety upgrades.

In his inaugural speech, the Chief Minister said that the public sector organizations in Kerala are an alternative to the idea of liberalization, which endorses that it is not the government’s responsibility to run industries that benefit the entire society or to market intervention.

“This is a time when even strategic public sector institutions, including airports, are being privatized. The thinking behind this is that such institutions can only be run successfully in the private sector as they require huge capital investment, framing of futuristic development vision and professionalism in management. Behind this is the conventional idea that it is not the government’s duty to run industries that benefit the entire society or intervene in the market. But an alternative to this can be seen in public sector institutions in Kerala. The public sector in Kerala stands as a testament to the success of government-backed institutions. Here, they are protected and prospering. The state even takes over and operates the institutions that are even slated for disinvestment by the Central Government. The best example of this alternative is the Cochin International Airport Limited, which is under the direct control of the Government of Kerala”, said Chief Minister.

“This is the fourth mega project to be inaugurated in CIAL in the last 2 years. The three projects that were commissioned earlier – Aripara hydroelectric power plant, Payyannur solar power plant and Business Jet Terminal are making notable strides. CIAL is an alternative that renders irrelevant the argument that only the private sector can operate airports efficiently and profitably in this ever-changing world, where new technologies are constantly being introduced,” said the Chief Minister.

The projects inaugurated include the Import cargo Terminal, DigiYatra e-boarding software, Modernization of Airport Emergency Services, International Terminal Expansion: Phase 1, Golf Tourism venture, Construction of India’s biggest Aero Lounge and the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS). The Chief Minister stated that all these projects validate CIAL’s vision of ‘Flying into Tomorrow’.

Minister P. Rajeev presided over the event, while S. Suhas IAS, Managing Director of CIAL, extended the welcome address. CIAL Director M.A. Yusuffali delivered the welcoming remarks. Ministers K. Rajan P. A. Mohamed Riyas were the Guests of Honour. Anwar Sadath MLA, Roji M. John MLA, Benny Behanan MP, Hibi Eden MP, and Chief Secretary Dr. V. Venu delivered the felicitation speech. Elected representatives Mathew Thomas, T. V Kunju, V. M Shamsuddeen, Gracy Dayanandan, and Shobha Bharathan were also present alongside CIAL Directors E. K. Bharat Bhushan, Aruna Sundararajan, N.V George, and Dr. P Muhammad Ali. CIAL Executive Director & Company Secretary Saji K. George proposed the Vote of Thanks.

JR Choudhary — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 12:47:33 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], October 3: About 5,000 employees of Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK), one of the leading diamond companies in Surat, gathered to pay tributes to late Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, the renowned agricultural scientist and pioneer of the Green Revolution in India.

Govindbhai Dholakia praised Dr. Swaminathan for his remarkable achievements and emphasized the significance of the Santokbaa Humanitarian Award in recognizing the contributions of exceptional individuals.

Recalling the moment when Dr. Swaminathan was selected as the recipient of the Santokbaa Humanitarian Award, Govindbhai Dholakia spoke of his journey to invite the esteemed scientist to Surat.

He mentioned visiting Dr. Swaminathan’s residence in Madras (now Chennai) and being questioned about why a diamond company would honor him with such an award. In response, Govindbhai explained, “We are essentially farmers from Saurashtra, and we understand the importance of a person like you.”

In 2013, Dr. Swaminathan graciously accepted the Santokbaa Humanitarian Award and became a guest of honor in Surat for two days. Govindbhai Dholakia fondly recollected the time spent together during those two days, highlighting the humility and grace with which Dr. Swaminathan accepted the award.

Role of Grassroots in National Elections: Case Study from Village India

JR Choudhary — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 15:22:31 +0530

New Delhi (India), October 3: The National 2019 Elections in India, the World’s largest Democracy, filled with festivity acquired a fabulous colour in Rajasthan. On 28th September, 2023, at the prestigious Constitution Club in New Delhi, Dr Navina Jafa was facilitated by Rajneetik Tarkas headed by dynamic, prominent social activist leader Jeetandra Tiwari. Senior Government Officials and Grassroots Social Entrepreneurs attended the glittering event.

At the event, Dr. Navina Jafa described her exemplary work for the Election Commission of India in the three districts of Rajasthan State, where her team and ten folk performing artists successfully increased the women voter turnout to approximately 2.1%. The Election Commission faced a challenge registering more women and ensuring they come out to vote and with each performance to educate voters in the Elections.

Cultural technocrat Navina Jafa was commissioned by The “Election Commission of India” under former Election Commissioner Mr Sunil Arora and the State Election Commission of Rajasthan. The project was aimed to improve the flagship Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation program (SVEEP).

Navina Jafa, daughter of Padamshree Manorama Jafa and former Financial Advisor, Secretary Ministry of Defence, Government of India, Virendra Singh Jafa, took out the Bahurupiya Yatra for elections and voter awareness– A Journey of Street Folk Theatre covering three Rajasthan Districts.

• Dausa,

• Karauli, and

• Sawai Madhopur .

The different folk performers from Rajasthan included Bahurupiyas – folk impersonators, folk dancers, Acrobats, and Folk musicians. Navina Jafa and the late Shri Virendra Singh Jafa had organised multiple seminars on Electoral Reforms. Along with the group of folk performers, her NGO, Centre for New Perspectives, headed by Virendra Singh Jafa, included the founding members of the board – B.G. Deshmukh (Former Cabinet Secretary, GOI), Harishanker Singhania (industrialist), Dileep Padgaonkar (Editor of The Times of India), Raja Jesudoss Chellia (economist and founding chairman of the Madras School of Economics), M.P Gupta (additional secretary, ministry of labour), H.K Dua( journalist, political commentator, member Rajya Sabha ), Major General Roop k Garg – President Academy of Hospital Administration.

With team members, including Shailaja Kathuria, secretary of the NGO, who conducted randomisation method surveys, Shamshad Khan Bahurupiya from Dausa managing the folk performers, playwright Anil Marwari and local partners Marudhara Seva Sansthan. Navina Jafa travelled and executed 56 performances to educate voters before the elections in Rajasthan.

Navina Jafa said the surveys with the performances were important. Through the surveys and conversations with audiences during the performance, it was essential to understand why women did not want to be registered voters or why they did not go to vote despite being voters and the reasons for low voter registration and voter low turnout among women. These were documented and conveyed to the Election Commission of India.

Performances for Election

The performances told voters about what documents to carry for the voting. Information was provided for the VVPAT machine, registration processes, the importance of voting and conversations to understand problems related to women voters preventing them from voting.

The water issue was the main reason women in the three districts of Rajasthan did not participate in the election. The women during the performances conversed with the folk performers and responded to the questions in the surveys. They said that they had to walk many miles daily to fetch water. Governments came and went, but their condition stayed the same. After the election, Navina Jafa and her team created a follow-up programme to educate the villagers in Dausa District, Rajasthan, about water harvesting and encouraged them to form water panchayats with the help of water expert Fawzia Tarannum.

The performances during the National 2019 Elections were in venues such as the Anganvadi – rural daycare centres, schools, bus stands, and around village water wells where there were many women and other public locations, including village panchayat meeting spaces. The performances had interactive humour and audience participation. The folk street theatre performances became a rage that attracted more than 100-200 audiences comprising women in large numbers, men, local district officials and school teachers. An acrobat on stilts with a loudspeaker and a drum were sent to villages before the performances to collect the crowd. & these folk performers and their performances are the traditional social media of our country. The folk performers spoke the local dialect of Rajasthani and became characters like a moneylender or a famous Bollywood actor with whom the villagers could relate. The folk songs and dances in these performances were full of teasing.

The dialogue delivery provoked verbal exchanges with the audience, allowing the actors to playfully entertain, educate the voters, and prepare them for elections, said Navina Jafa. Jafa has specialised in providing new ways for Indian Folk performing arts to be used for Development Communication and to increase voter participation in Indian elections. The experience of having street performers for Elections and other Government programmes means that folk performers can become a tool for a bottom-up approach to ensure good governance, which provides job work to the marginalised performers.

The folk performing traditions like street magicians, jugglers, impersonators, dancers, musicians, storytellers, and puppeteers get new audiences and markets. In this way, the occasion of something like the Indian Elections becomes a way to strengthen cultural Democracy and preserve India’s rich intangible cultural heritage.

Key Takeaways:

1. Folk artists spoke the same dialect and language as the audiences who felt comfortable participating and expressing their problems and solutions regarding the electoral process.

2. Choosing local performers gave value to local cultural traditions and skilled artists.

3. For the first time in Indian Voter Education, live performances included a randomisation survey communicating the mind of the Voter.

4. The village-to-village interactive performances provided information to the administration regarding electoral ground reality.

5. The statistics of the survey and interactions revealed that the root cause for low voter turnout could be some other reason. For example, in this case, it was the non-availability of water.

6. To create sustainability, Navina Jafa’s efforts to lead a follow-up programme on the creation of Village Jal Panchayats presents that Voters’ education with interactive performances and surveys can create post-election development programmes.

A New Dawn for Women in Politics: Dr. Ranjana Kumari’s Relentless Pursuit for Equality

JR Choudhary — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 15:06:11 +0530

New Delhi (India), October 2: Following the historic passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the newly inaugurated Parliament building, there’s a palpable sense of elation among women across various sectors. Political parties, be it the BJP, Congress, or regional factions, are all vying to claim credit for championing this landmark legislation. Female parliamentarians unanimously emphasize their party’s commitment to the bill. While political motivations and critiques abound, the relentless efforts of grassroots women activists, who have been advocating for women’s rights for decades, seem to have been overshadowed.

Prominent among these activists is Dr. Ranjana Kumari, who has been at the forefront of the fight for women’s rights in India for nearly four decades. The public campaign supporting the bill saw contributions from MPs like Pramila Dandwate, Geeta Mukherjee, Suman Krishnakant, and Dr. Kumari. Notable figures like Margaret Alva, Sushma Swaraj, and Vrinda Karat also lent their support. The collective efforts of women’s organizations, known as the Seven Sisters, played a pivotal role in rallying public support. The bill’s journey began in the early ’90s when Mrs. Pramila Dandavate introduced it as a private member’s proposal.

Dr. Kumari’s advocacy for women’s representation in legislative bodies dates back to 1985 when she addressed the issue at the United Nations Conference for Women in Nairobi. As the youngest female delegate among representatives from 157 countries, she made her mark. 1996 Former Prime Minister Shri Deve Gowda introduced this bill which was not passed. The bill saw multiple introductions in Parliament over the years but faced numerous hurdles. It finally saw the light of day during Dr. Manmohan Singh’s second term as Prime Minister in 2010, only to be stalled once again.

On the recent passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill, Dr. Kumari opines that it marks a transformative moment in Indian politics. With women already holding reserved seats in Gram Panchayats, this legislation ensures their increased presence in state assemblies and the national Parliament.

Dr. Kumari emphasizes that women, constituting nearly half of India’s population, have consistently demonstrated their capabilities. However, their political representation remains disproportionate. True democracy, she believes, can only be achieved when women are given equal opportunities and their voices are amplified.

Today, Dr. Kumari attributes the bill’s success to countless women who, despite personal challenges, have been catalysts for societal change and women’s upliftment.

A brief profile of Dr. Ranjana Kumari:

– Hailing from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Dr. Kumari holds a PhD in Political Science from JNU.

– An academic, she has authored nine books on women’s rights and safety, with notable works on campaigns like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and women’s safety in cyberspace.

– Dr. Kumari has tirelessly worked against dowry harassment, rape, and domestic violence, assisting countless victims over the past four decades.

– Recognized for her contributions, she has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Lotus Leadership Award in New York.

– In 2019, Dr. Kumari was named in A political’s 100 most influential list for her exceptional work on gender policy, a list that also featured Michelle Obama.

JR Choudhary — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:14:35 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], September 26: For a quarter of a century, ‘Manta Ka Raja,’ a Lord Ganesha pandal organized by the Sairam Yuvak Mandal in Althan, Surat, has been a focal point of devotion for countless devotees from Surat, neighboring Maharashtra, and other districts in South Gujarat. This spiritual haven has been known to fulfill the heartfelt wishes of thousands of devotees, making it a cherished tradition in the region.

Unlike previous years, this time the Sairam Yuvak Mandal has adorned the Ganesha pandal with the theme of the majestic Mysore Palace in South India, attracting thousands of daily visitors eager to seek the divine blessings of Lord Ganesha.

Throughout the ten-day festival, the Sairam Yuvak Mandal has been engaged in a myriad of activities, ranging from distributing notebooks to underprivileged students and hosting cultural programs to organizing blood donation camps, united India prayer sessions, and supporting impoverished children.

The ‘shobha yatra’ of Lord Ganesha, also known as ‘Manta Ka Raja’ (King of Wishes), has drawn tens of thousands of spectators to Althan. The Ganesha idol, a masterpiece crafted by renowned artisans from Mumbai, stands as the centerpiece of devotion.

The festivities have been amplified by the presence of famous dhol players from Mumbai, Haryana, Benzo, DJ bands, and more. On September 17, a 73-kilogram cake was baked in honor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.

According to the organizers, Lord Ganesha at the ‘Manta Ka Raja’ pandal has been a harbinger of wish fulfillment for devotees. Once their wishes are granted, devotees often donate beautifully crafted figurines of Lord Ganesha in gratitude. About 80 mangal murtis of Ganesha has been gifted by the people.

Over the years, this pandal has witnessed visits from prominent political figures, including former Chief Ministers of Gujarat, such as Narendra Modi, Anandiben Patel, and Vijay Rupani. Leaders like former Gujarat BJP president RC Faldu, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi have also paid their respects to Lord Ganesha at the Althan pandal.

The organizers proudly proclaim that people from diverse religious backgrounds converge at the ‘Manta Ka Raja’ pandal, united in their quest for blessings from Lord Ganesha. As the pandal continues to inspire faith and unity, it stands as a symbol of communal harmony and devotion in the heart of Surat.

Morari Bapu Extends a Unifying Call to Sanatan Dharma Saints for the Kumbh Mela

JR Choudhary — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:15:01 +0530

New Delhi (India), September 20: Morari Bapu, the revered spiritual leader and preacher, has issued a clarion call to all Sanatan Dharma saints and spiritual leaders to unite on a common platform during the forthcoming Kumbh Mela. In a momentous proclamation during his ongoing Ram Katha event, “Manas Bharat,” held at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi. Morari Bapu emphasized the need for collective action to protect and preserve the sanctity of Sanatan Dharma.

During his discourse, Morari Bapu expressed concern over the various challenges and misconceptions surrounding Sanatan Dharma and called upon all saints to come together to address these issues. The call for unity among Sanatan Dharma saints is seen as a significant step towards fostering a sense of solidarity within the community and collectively combating misinformation and misconceptions about the ancient and revered tradition of Sanatan Dharma.

During the Katha, Morari Bapu made a statement in the wake of recent political statements and incidents where derogatory remarks and comparisons have been made against Sanatan Dharma, such as likening it to leprosy or disease, and instances like the portrayal of Lord Hanuman in the service of a guru in Gujarat, “I firmly believe that it is crucial for all Sanatan Dharma saints and spiritual leaders to come together on a common platform. These events have raised concerns about the misrepresentation and misconceptions surrounding our ancient and revered tradition. By uniting as a collective force during the upcoming Kumbh Mela, we can address these issues, combat misinformation, and preserve the sanctity of Sanatan Dharma. It is our responsibility to ensure that the core values and teachings of Sanatan Dharma are safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations.”

He added, “I would much rather that we address these issues at their initial stages when they are mere seeds rather than allowing them to take root and grow. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that whatever has begun against Sanatan Dharma is uprooted in its nascent stages, securing the future of our cherished tradition.”

Morari Bapu’s plea for unity received an overwhelmingly positive response from his followers, who believe that such collaboration will strengthen the foundation of Sanatan Dharma and ensure that its core values and teachings are preserved for future generations.

As preparations for the next Kumbh Mela gather momentum, Morari Bapu’s call serves as a timely reminder of the importance of unity and collective action within the Sanatan Dharma community. The Kumbh Mela, with its rich history and significance, provides an ideal platform for spiritual leaders to come together and reaffirm the enduring values of Sanatan Dharma.

The Katha, named “Manas Bharat,” carries a profound message, emphasizing the significance of Sanatan Dharma. Morari Bapu eloquently quoted Shri Krishna, who affirmed that Dharma is Amrut (immortal), and Sanatan Dharma embodies the essence of pure Amrut. He further highlighted that there is no need to prefix the word “pure” before Dharma, as Sanatan Dharma embodies its purest form.

This katha series not only marks India’s 75th Independence but also celebrates the country’s rich cultural heritage, bringing together people from all walks of life to embrace the spiritual teachings and values of Santan Dharma. Morari Bapu, the revered spiritual leader and orator, will guide attendees through the timeless epic of the Ramayana during this enlightening discourse.

The “Manas Bharat” Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav Ram Katha series has already left an indelible mark on audiences in Tripura and Gujarat, and the New Delhi event promises to be no different. Morari Bapu’s eloquent narration, coupled with his profound insights into the Ramayana, has the power to transform lives and bring about a deeper understanding of our cultural heritage.

The “Manas Bharat” Katha welcomes all individuals and will continue until September 24, 2023. For those who cannot be present in person, the Katha’s sessions will be broadcast live, ensuring that Morari Bapu’s sacred teachings resonate across the nation and beyond, promoting unity, patriotism, and a deep spiritual awakening.

Ozone Run 2023 by Teerdha & Bilvoa Vunnam : A Milestone in Green Initiatives

JR Choudhary — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 15:55:15 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 20: The resounding success of the Ozone Run 2nd Edition 2023, an exceptional environmental initiative spearheaded by SWAN (Save Water And Nature), led by its dedicated Founder, Mrs. Meghana Musunuri, and Secretary, Mr. Sridhar Vunnam, has left an indelible mark on the landscape of environmental conservation. On September 17th, the Gachibowli Stadium played host to an extraordinary gathering of over 1,500 passionate participants who enthusiastically partook in the 2K, 5K, and 10K timed runs.

The event, graced by the presence of Chief Guest MP Santhosh Kumar and esteemed Guests of Honor MLA Arekapudi Gandhi, Corporator Jagdeeshwar Goud, and representatives from the British Deputy High Commission in Hyderabad, drew invaluable support from its Main Sponsors – Megha Engineering Infrastructure Ltd (Meil) and Green India Challenge.

In a commendable move towards promoting eco-friendly festivities, Green India Challenge distributed Seed Ganesha idols, setting a remarkable example for sustainable celebrations. This groundbreaking event also featured awards honoring Climate Action Ambassadors and a heartfelt recognition ceremony for all the dedicated partners who contributed to its success. The pinnacle of the day was the presentation of trophies and winner coupons to the triumphant participants of the 10K run in four distinct categories.

The founders of the Ozone Run initiative, Bilvoa Vunnama and Teerdha Vunnam, have exhibited unwavering dedication to their mission of environmental preservation. Their visionary leadership, combined with the collective efforts of participants, partners, and collaborators, has culminated in a resounding triumph.

As articulated by Bilvoa Vunnam, “The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) encompass 17 goals that all 193 UN Member nations have committed to achieving by 2030.” With a daring resolve to address pressing challenges confronting both humanity and the natural world, they embarked on a mission to combat climate change (SDG 13). This endeavor led to the inception of the “Ozone Run,” a 10-kilometer run in Hyderabad aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on the ozone layer.

Teerdha Vunnam added, “The overwhelming success of the Ozone Run in Hyderabad inspires us to envision similar runs in every city and state across the country. These runs can serve as a powerful means to raise awareness about the impact of global warming on the stratospheric ozone layer.” Observations indicate that as greenhouse gases accumulate and warm the lower atmosphere (troposphere), a cooling effect is occurring in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). The heat from the Earth’s surface that would typically dissipate through the troposphere and stratosphere, eventually escaping into space, is now largely trapped within the troposphere. A quick and effective remedy lies in increasing vegetation in urban areas.

Meghana Musunuri, the visionary founder of SWAN and chairperson of Fountainhead Global School & Junior College, emphasized, “We ensured that the Ozone Run participants had access to essential amenities such as water points, mobile toilets, first aid services, ambulances, breakfast, and even designated selfie points. Additionally, we celebrated the outstanding achievements of the first and second runner-ups in various categories.”

The Ozone Run 2023 has undeniably set a precedent for impactful environmental initiatives and serves as a shining testament to what collective dedication and shared vision can achieve in the realm of environmental conservation.

Furthermore, the funds raised during this exceptional event will be dedicated to two vital causes – tackling the issue of plastic waste and enhancing road hygiene in Hyderabad. This commitment to sustainability underscores the event’s broader mission to not only raise awareness but also take concrete steps toward preserving the environment and improving the quality of life in the city.

A formidable consortium of partners spanning various sectors rallied behind the event, ensuring its triumphant success. Among these valued partners were Hivision Developers, Sumo Healthy Biscuits, Preksha Eutech, KAFQA, Save Soil, Decathlon, Caro Water, Youth For Seva, the Police department, Traffic police, Radio City 91.1 FM, Telangana Today, Namasthe Telangana, Oro Sports Village, Citizens Hospital, Valmiki group, Strokes- The Swim School, Sreenidhi International School, DPS Miyapur, DPS Hyderabad, The Shri Ram Universal School, Meluha International School, Meridian School, Narayana group – KP Zone, Chirec International School, and Fountainhead Global School and Junior College.

Ukraine War: Sikh community recognized for exemplary humanitarian efforts

JR Choudhary — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 16:10:39 +0530

Chandigarh (India), September 16: Amidst the chaos and strife that have gripped Ukraine in recent years, the unwavering spirit of humanity shines bright through the actions of the Sikh community. A recent post on LinkedIn by journalist Ravinder Singh Robin has brought attention to the humanitarian efforts of the Sikh community in Ukraine. In his post, Robin recounts how he was approached by a Ukrainian journalist at the G20 Summit who expressed his gratitude for the ‘immense humanitarian help’ provided by the Sikh community during the war.

The Sikh community, renowned worldwide for its ethos of compassion and selflessness, has been a beacon of hope for many Ukrainians affected by the ongoing conflict. Amidst the turmoil, members of the Sikh community have dedicated themselves to providing essential assistance, including food, shelter, and medical care to those grappling with the dire consequences of war.

A UN-affiliated nonprofit organization, United Sikhs, has taken center stage in these humanitarian efforts. This international nonprofit, with its strong affiliations to the United Nations, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Ukrainian people. Along the Polish-Ukrainian border, they have established relief camps, tirelessly dispatching teams to distribute emergency aid to those in need. In addition to these efforts, United Sikhs has set up bomb shelters within the warzone and provided crucial tactical medicine training to civilians, equipping them with life-saving skills in the face of danger.

Responding to the gratitude expressed by the Ukrainian journalist at the G20 Summit, United Sikhs expressed that such stories of appreciation “demonstrate the community’s commitment to selfless service.” The organization remains dedicated to its ongoing relief efforts in Ukraine and extends heartfelt appreciation for the support received from the global community.

Balwant Singh, the director of United Sikhs, eloquently elucidated the organization’s overarching mission, stating that their primary goal is to “provide immediate relief to those in need and to help them rebuild their lives.” He underscored the organization’s enduring commitment to standing up for humanity and extending a helping hand to those who are suffering. Singh further emphasized the organization’s extensive history of providing humanitarian aid to individuals in need, expressing profound pride in the organization’s ability to support the people of Ukraine during this challenging period.

The recognition of the Sikh community’s remarkable humanitarian endeavors in Ukraine is a testament to the dedication and compassion exhibited by organizations like United Sikhs. These organizations have not only delivered tangible aid but also demonstrated the essence of Sikh values to the world, inspiring countless others to emulate their selfless actions.

As the global community continues to grapple with challenges and crises, the Sikh community’s contributions in Ukraine serve as a poignant reminder of the power of collective compassion and the enduring capacity of humanity to rise above adversity. In times of darkness, the Sikh community’s light of hope continues to shine, illuminating the path toward a more compassionate and united world.

India can guide COP10 to include science & evidence-based policy to solve for tobacco diseases

JR Choudhary — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 11:58:28 +0530

Critical questions that can shape COP 10: With over 1 billion smokers, global policies must focus on the science of tobacco harm prevention.

New Delhi (India), September 15: At an eminent ET Edge conference themed, ‘The Need to Adopt Solutions Backed by Science’’ medical experts stressed the need for effective global & local tobacco control public health policies, given the alarming number of tobacco consumers & smokers around the world. The attempt to course correct, backed by scientific data & analysis, should hence be foundational in the upcoming 10th session of the Conference of Parties (COP10) to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in November ‘23, the experts opined.

Sharing India’s polio success as an example, Dr. Kiran Melkote, Eminent Orthopedic surgeon and Director of the Association for Harm Reduction, Education & Research, “After sustained efforts by our government and a tailored policy in India, today we’re polio-free. However, even after 20 years of a global campaign, tobacco harm remains the leading cause of premature deaths. Hence, it’s crucial for India and member states of COP10 to prioritise fact-based solutions to mitigate the damage and save over 8 million lives each year.”

Referring to successful global health policies, Prof. Dr. Rohan Savio Sequeira, Consultant Cardio-Metabolic Physician, Specialist in Non-Invasive Cardiology, Diabetes, Endocrinology and Obesity Management, Hon. Consultant Physician to the Governor of Maharashtra, mentioned, “Safer nicotine alternatives have been proved to be impactful in multiple nations for public health. Sweden is a prime example, with the lowest smoking-related deaths in the EU. Such policy success should be the bedrock of global health solutions. Officials, including Indian delegates, attending COP10 should table scientific, evidence-backed solutions to help reduce the global tobacco-induced disease and death.”

Bringing in a global perspective, Clive Bates, Director, The Counterfactual, United Kingdom, in his keynote address at the event, said, “India has the second largest number of smokers in the world. There is significant research which indicates that smokers should be encouraged to switch to safer alternatives which are at least 90% less harmful than cigarettes.”

Addressing a recent open letter written to the delegations attending COP10, he further offered advice in the form of four key questions that will help have a pragmatic and evidence-based outlook at the global meet on tobacco control policy.

One: What are the trade-offs? Are the needs of adult smokers being ignored in their respective countries? What are the implications of the suggested measures on young people who would otherwise smoke?

Two: Where is the evidence? Is there a fact-based, scientifically proven reasoning behind what is being proposed?

Three: Who disagrees with this and why? Much of the research and evidence in this field is contested among independent experts. One should be aware of and insist on seeing all sides of the debate.

Four: What are the plausible unintended consequences? Will strict policies reduce smoking, control black markets and safeguard consumers from unregulated options?

Delegates should be clear on their national public health and tobacco policy goals. Governments could set a wide range of objectives as one set policy would not be suitable for all member states.

The priority should be to recommend reliable, evidence-based policies, especially for delegates from low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). WHO promotes the prohibition of certain categories of alternatives while more dangerous tobacco products are freely available. Certain facts promoted by the agency are inaccurate, limiting the possibility of a balanced view.

The selective representation by civil society & nongovernmental organizations as observers at COP confines the otherwise unbiased approach at other multilateral forums.

When finalized 20 years ago, the convention’s purpose was to contain and reduce the health and welfare harms from smoking. However, today, COP10 is focused on limiting the third tobacco control approach, harm reduction, which has resulted in harm increase. While U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves certain categories of alternatives based on scientific data deeming appropriate for the protection of public health, the WHO has a conflicting stance.

Despite global & country-specific interventions, there are still over one billion smokers today – the number largely remaining stagnant over the last decade. India itself has more than one hundred million smokers, with no reduction in recent years. This sadly reflects, in spite of best efforts by countries at large, the inefficiency of the current tobacco control policies. By including better and safer alternatives and focusing on reducing smoking prevalence, WHO can make progress towards its goal of reducing the global burden of tobacco-related diseases and deaths.

Vedanta Aluminium’s ‘Jeevika Samriddhi’ project nurtures growth and prosperity for Jharsuguda Farmers

JR Choudhary — Fri, 01 Sep 2023 15:28:34 +0530

Farmers of Jeevika Samriddhi

New Delhi (India), September 1: In the heart of Jharsuguda, the story of transformation and hope unfolds through Vedanta Aluminium’s ‘Jeevika Samriddhi’ project. The project’s emphasis on sustainable farming practices and improved irrigation systems has become a beacon of hope for farmers in this region. The success of the project can be gauged from the fact that even during the pandemic, it provided a steady source of income and opened avenues to directly sell farm produce through ‘Farm to Shop’ platforms through a robust supply chain model.

Transforming Lives and Empowering Communities

Arjun Naik, a farmer, from Gudigaon Village in Jharsuguda District, Odisha, assumed that year-round farming was next to impossible. “With water scarcity and health issues, life was a daily struggle for me as my family had to make a daily trek of around 2 km to fetch water which exhausted our energy and resources. Further, my health issues aggravated, adding to our woes, forcing me to stop working as a daily labourer which was my only means of income,” he mentions.

“It was during these testing times that Vedanta’s ‘Jeevika Samriddhi’ initiative became a glimmer of hope for us”, beams Arjun. “Both my wife and I, benefited from the training and irrigation system support provided by Vedanta and today, our farmland thrives with cash crops such as tomatoes, chillies, and sweet corn, ensuring a stable income. My wife, Kavita, is a happy woman who not only contributes effectively to household expenditures, but also takes pride in educating our children and managing my medical expenses.”

Naresh Patel, another success story, reflects a similar transformation. “Initially I was a conventional farmer who primarily grew paddy and a few vegetables, struggling to make ends meet. But everything changed from the moment I became a part of the ‘Jeevika Samriddhi’ project. The training sessions on natural pest management and organic farming methods gave me a larger perspective on sustainable agriculture and paved the way for evolving as an agricultural entrepreneur. Now, I cultivate a range of cash crops like ginger, chilly, coriander, bottle gourd and many more which is fetching very good returns,” Naresh attributes.

Arjun Naik and Naresh are just two among the 521 families whose lives have been transformed by the Jeevika Samriddhi project in the villages of Gudigaon, Keldamal and Siriapali.

Sowing the Seeds of Change

Vedanta Limited, Jharsuguda, initiated the first phase of this unique farm-based project involving 111 farmers on a pilot basis in one of the villages, which was completed in 2017. Following the stupendous success of the project, the second phase was launched covering 330 farming households in Jharsuguda.

To further fortify this initiative, Vedanta roped in agricultural scientists to train the farmers on advanced agriculture practices and sustainable methods of farming. Over 13,000 hours of training have been imparted to the farmers on areas such as crop planning & management, post-harvest management, Package of Practices (PoP), with more than 89% farmers benefiting from the sustainable agricultural practices.

Reaping Bountiful Harvests

Today, farmers, who are part of the project, are engaged in cultivation round the year due to improved irrigation facilities which has reduced dependency on rains. Moreover, adoption of cash crops has also increased, with 77% of farmers enhancing their monthly income by 50%.

Mr. Surendra Delki, Assistant Horticulture Officer, Kolibira Block, who has been closely associated with this project, adds, “Jeevika Samridhhi has positively impacted a large number of farming households by introducing them to advanced agricultural practices as well as to the best practices in land and water management. Today, more than 200 acres of farmland in this region are cultivated with high-value crops thereby ensuring a bountiful harvest all through the year.”

Promising a Greener Tomorrow

Now into its third operational phase, Vedanta’s ‘Jeevika Samridhhi’ project is set to broaden its scope to 3 more villages of 2 Gram Panchayats (Dalki & Parmanpur) in Jharsuguda District.

This third phase of the project focuses on orienting farmers about the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural techniques, establishing soil and water conservation structures, and introducing supplementary irrigation systems (such as solar and drip irrigation) to enhance reliable irrigation resources.

The program also aims to stimulate sustainable agriculture by refining crop management practices through Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Nutrition Management (INM). Additionally, farmers will be familiarized with establishing market linkage through local institutions, community-based organizations, water user groups, farmer’s producer groups, village development committees, and similar avenues.

In a world where success is often measured in profits, Vedanta’s ‘Jeevika Samridhhi’ project tells a different tale. It’s a story of growth intertwined with the community’s well-being, a testament to the fact that true prosperity blooms when nurtured collectively.

Fulfilling the Dreams of Millions: Chandrayaan 3’s Role in Enabling Global Collaboration in Space Research – Insights from Yatender Rao

JR Choudhary — Fri, 01 Sep 2023 11:46:17 +0530

New Delhi (India), August 31: The accomplishment of the Chandrayaan-3 Moon Mission stands as a remarkable milestone in India’s journey of space exploration, positioning the nation as a global leader in this field. This achievement is a source of immense pride for every individual in India. Chandrayaan-3 signifies a significant step forward in our understanding of the Moon, particularly its southern polar region. The mission encompasses a lander and a rover that will undertake vital scientific experiments and research.

In response to the success of Chandrayaan-3, Yatender Rao, a prominent youth leader from the BJP, conveyed his elation and contentment, stating, “The realization of a dream cherished by millions of Indians has materialized. This is a moment of great pride for all of us; millions of Indians have borne witness to the creation of history. Chandrayaan 3 is fostering international collaboration in space exploration. I take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our brilliant scientists, who remained steadfast in their belief and dedicated 1446 days to bring this vision to life. Their unwavering commitment, even foregoing sleep for 48 hours, has yielded fruit. Chandrayaan is the epitome of India’s pride. I am also grateful to the government for its unwavering support. As the trailblazers who set foot on the lunar surface at the south pole, India has achieved an unparalleled feat. My pride knows no bounds. Jai Hind.”

Yatender Rao’s commitment to serving the nation is evident in his unswerving dedication to advancing the welfare of the youth and driving transformative changes. He has garnered acclaim for his efforts in empowering the youth, creating employment opportunities, fostering equity within society, and advocating for educational reforms through his NGO, the Jaihind Jansewa Foundation. His articulate discussions on matters concerning young individuals, such as unemployment, educational prospects, and societal injustices, have resonated deeply with the youth across the nation.

When asked to communicate a message to the nation’s youth, he responded, “The youth of our nation are our guiding light, capable of turning the seemingly impossible into reality. Our civilization’s bedrock rests on empowering the next generation, but we must remain vigilant against the perils of misinformation. As political leaders, it is our responsibility to provide accurate information and unbiased analyses of intricate situations. While nurturing a healthy skepticism is commendable, the dissemination of falsehoods and deceit can impede their ability to make informed choices.”

Yatender Rao’s ascent within the ranks of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s youth wing, BJYM, has been swift and impactful. He has held several leadership positions, including State Vice President, State Executive Member, and State Head of the Study Circle Committee. Presently, he plays a pivotal role in Haryana’s mainstream BJP. His influence over the youth is substantial, motivating them to actively engage in public affairs and contribute positively to society. His focus on measures that directly address the concerns of young individuals holds the potential to significantly shape their lives.

He further remarked, “The administration in Haryana, led by the BJP, has demonstrated extraordinary dedication. The rapid progress of the highway project is indicative of this commitment. Furthermore, India’s ascent to become the world’s fifth-largest economy, surpassing Britain, is an achievement of monumental significance.

JR Choudhary — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 12:43:28 +0530

(L-R) Nishant Dayal, Founder, and Jaya Prasad, Co-Founders, Midwicket Stories along with cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar who has come on board as the Principal Advisor of Midwicket Stories in Mumbai

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 30: Midwicket Stories is proud to announce that Cricketing Legend Sunil Gavaskar has come on board as its Principal Advisor. Another path-breaking announcement was about the launch of Midwicket Stories – India leg featuring Legends of the game, the first of which would be held on November 1, 2023, during the ICC World Cup.

Midwicket Stories is a unique concept and platform for cricketing legends to enthral audiences while sharing their extraordinary experiences, both on and off the field, with their exclusive list of events which make for a heady mix of entertainment and passion.

Nishant Dayal, Founder, and Jaya Prasad, Co-Founders, Midwicket Stories, creators of this unique initiative made this announcement while welcoming Sunil Gavaskar as the Principal Advisor. Nishant Dayal and Jaya Prasad also announced the spectacular pairing of Windies Superstar, ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle and ‘Turbanator’ Harbhajan Singh as the guests for the first leg of the event in India to be held in Mumbai prior to the World Cup tie between hosts India and Sri Lanka.

Speaking on joining Midwicket Stories as the Principal Advisor, former Indian skipper, Sunil Gavaskar said, “I am humbled to be a part of this novel initiative that provides a platform for cricketing legends to share their experiences on a world stage. Today, we know everything about our favourite cricketers, but back in time, due to limitations of communications and social media, fans seldom got to know about the triumphs and conversations that took place in the closeted corridors of the game. This is a superb stage for all my colleagues to express themselves, entertain LIVE audiences, and share their memories. I am looking forward to interacting with Gayle and Harbhajan. Gayle will provide power-packed stories while Harbhajan will provide his unique spin on various cricketing matters.”

Elaborating on the concept Nishant Dayal, Founder, Midwicket Stories said, “Our vision is to provide an edge of the seat opportunity to lovers of cricket (such as myself) to interact, meet and get up-close and personal with their favourite cricketers. Of course, this is an experience that money cannot buy. For a moment, you can also picture yourself as a witness to history, amidst all the events that would be unfolding through the conversation. Whilst providing heady stories of cricketing bravado, Midwicket Stories aims to be the best in its genre. These heart-warming stories are all aimed to provide experiences that have been only felt and experienced by the ace raconteurs. Having Sunil Gavaskar as part of Midwicket Stories will help us gain rich experience and deep insights.”

Speaking on the fans experience during the event, Jaya Prasad, Co-Founder, Midwicket Stories, added, “Fans can interact with the legends and provide their experiences while dining with the legends as they spin their webs of cricketing and non-cricketing glory. Midwicket Stories is on a mission to cut down the distance between the legends and fans. It will attempt to provide one and all a once-in-a-lifetime experience that the select few will savour in the days to come.”

In the series held in Dubai earlier this year, Gavaskar received unabashed praise from the Caribbean legend, Viv Richards who affirmed, “Sunny Gavaskar is the Godfather of Indian batsmanship.”

From its successful launch in Sydney in November 2022, which featured the conversation between Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border, Midwicket Stories has gone from strength to strength , followed by the second innings in Dubai, UAE between legend Sunil Gavaskar and the inimitable Vivian Richards. The legacy will live on in the future with several unique partnerships set to be forged here in India.

With two prior innings in Sydney (Australia) and Dubai (UAE), this exquisitely positioned event generates a web of stories with people discussing various facets of the game, as it bids to be one of the most looked forward to events.

The sincerity of Midwicket Stories is further boosted by its ongoing social initiative, Dr Dayal Foundation (DDF), which dedicates the proceeds of Midwicket Stories towards paediatric heart surgeries in India. It is imperative to mention that Gavaskar on his own has been supporting over 35 operations in a year since the last four years.

The G20 must act now for the health and wellbeing of women, children, and adolescents around the world

JR Choudhary — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 15:03:01 +0530

New Delhi (India), August 24: Every year, across all G20 countries, nearly two million preventable deaths occur among mothers, newborns, children, and adolescents—including stillbirths. Through an opinion piece published in the BMJ, Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 Sherpa & Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Board Chair of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH), a global alliance, hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO) highlight, why investing in women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health is critical to sustainable economic growth globally.

In recent years, the key drivers of these negative outcomes have included the “four Cs”: covid-19, conflict, climate change, and the cost-of-living crisis. These factors have combined to inflict immense damage on the health and wellbeing of women, children, and adolescents. Systemic discrimination and an increase in extreme weather events, food insecurity, and poverty are major causes of the lack of progress in women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health. In 2000, the climate emergency was already responsible for more than 150 000 deaths worldwide and an increasing global burden of disease, 88% of which fell on children. It is estimated that 80% of people displaced by the climate emergency are women, largely due to economic and social disparities between genders.

Such inequalities, environmental damage, and loss of human life and capital are profoundly distressing. As a result, women are negatively impacted, exacerbating the “feminisation of poverty.” Throughout the world, women continue to earn less than men, even when accounting for similar education levels. The G20 countries are home to two thirds of the global population and the actions they take collectively have global scale.

The G20 must act now to improve the health of women, children, and adolescents and tackle preventable loss of life. India currently holds the G20 presidency and is committed to achieving universal health coverage and improving healthcare service delivery globally. For example, India has proposed several initiatives for digital health solutions as part of a digital strategy launched in 2021. These digital tools enabled the registration of a billion people in order to monitor immunisation coverage, and the administration of more than 1.78 billion doses of the covid-19 vaccine. India has also proposed initiatives on the climate-health nexus, given the ongoing impacts of the climate crisis on public health, and on efforts towards better pandemic preparedness and response. It is important to ensure that these initiatives are gender and age sensitive, for instance through prioritising women-centric digital health services.

Cooperation across countries is critical for sharing good practices and addressing shared challenges. For example, effective adaptation to climate change requires both systemic approaches and, for countries to support each other’s efforts in raising financial resources and building technological capacities through South-South and North-South cooperation. G20 countries must also take more substantial action to overcome the health and wellbeing challenges faced by women, children, and adolescents.

Firstly, G20 countries must prioritise increased cross-cutting financing to strengthen health systems, enhance access to essential health services, and address the social determinants of health, such as poverty and gender inequality. Investments in physical and digital infrastructure through a gender lens could reduce the burden of unpaid work, improve wellbeing, create jobs, increase labour force participation, reduce the digital gender gap, bolster productivity, and foster economic growth.

Secondly, numerous countries are struggling to maintain pre-pandemic levels of health spending. That is affecting women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health worldwide. Global efforts are required to help countries strengthen their health systems by attracting more development assistance for health, and finding sustainable solutions to alleviate debt burdens. The G20 must advocate for this.

Thirdly, we need robust data systems to monitor and implement policies and programmes effectively. Given that G20 countries account for approximately 85% of global GDP, two-thirds of the global population and carry significant political influence, they are well positioned to advance research and the development of new and improved health technologies and vaccines. When investing in these areas and making decisions, it is essential to meaningfully engage women, children, and adolescents.

Fourthly, investing in the early years of childhood is vitally important, including in family-friendly policies and universal social protection. Such investments can boost cognitive capital — the complete set of intellectual skills, primarily nurtured prenatally and in early childhood, that determines human capabilities — leading to inclusive economic growth. Tackling youth unemployment across the G20 requires developing adolescents’ skills, such as digital literacy, and building technology-driven and environmentally conscious growth.

The G20 must prioritise the health and wellbeing of women, children, and adolescents by making it a permanent fixture on its agenda for action. That requires dedicated, enhanced, and sustained financing, as well as more global coordination and solidarity so that no woman, child, adolescent, or country is left behind.

The health and wellbeing of women, children and adolescents are essential for sustainable economic growth worldwide. This cannot be optimised without strong G20 leadership.

Morari Bapu calls on Indians to proudly embrace the Hindu identity at Ram Katha event at Cambridge

JR Choudhary — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 12:15:28 +0530

Cambridge (UK), August 21: Noted spiritual leader and exponent of the Ram Charita Manas, Morari Bapu has urged followers of the Hindu religion to embrace their Hindu identity with pride and chant the holy name of Lord Ram.

Speaking at the ongoing Ram Katha event at the University of Cambridge, Morari Bapu asked followers of Sanatan Hindu Dharma to shed any reluctance and proclaim their identity with confidence.

“In the whole world, wherever there are Indians and whatever field that you might be from, why is there hesitation to pronounce the name of Ram and that you are a Hindu,” he asserted.

Drawing attention to the statement by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who while speaking at the Ram Katha on August 15, expressed his pride in being both a Hindu and British, Morari Bapu questioned why others should hesitate in doing the same.

“We are proud, we belong to the Santana Dharma of Hinduism. And why not! (Rishi) Sunak ji, who is the current British Prime Minster, said yesterday that he had come here as a Hindu. Why are all of you so ashamed (of the Hindu identity)?” Bapu asked.

“I felt good that Rishi Sunak honoured us with his presence. He chanted Jai Siya Ram twice. I welcome it. If a world leader like him can proudly identify as a Hindu and chant Jai Siya Ram twice, why should any other Hindus be reluctant?”

“Gandhi ji had said that he was a Hindu. Swami Vivekananda had said that there is this largesse of Hinduism,” he emphasised.

Bapu stressed that being a Hindu is synonymous with open-mindedness and broad acceptance and remarked that the tenets of Hinduism and Sanatan Dharma stretch wider than the vast sky.

Morari Bapu also reiterated the significance of chanting the revered name of Lord Ram.

A tireless advocate for the teachings of Lord Ram and the wisdom contained within Ram Charita Manas, Morari Bapu shared his conviction that Lord Ram’s essence cannot be confined to any one portrayal.

“Our Rama transcends mere boundaries, his divinity knows no limits,” he resolutely asserted.

Highlighting the cultural influence and respect India has garnered on the global stage, Morari Bapu said he traverses the world sharing the beauty of Indian traditions and the way the world looks upon India and its cultural heritage has changed.

“Through meaningful dialogues and genuine influence, we can truly realise the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam or the world is one family,” he added.

During his visit to Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha on Indian Independence Day, Rishi Sunak, the first Hindu and the first person of Indian origin to become the British Prime Minister, chanted Jai Siya Ram twice. He also said that he was at the Ram Katha not as a prime minister but as a Hindu. Prime Minister Sunak said that he was proud to be British and proud to be Hindu and also recalled his visits to temples and participation in rituals like havans, pujas, artis, and distribution of prasad with his family.

JR Choudhary — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 12:17:46 +0530

BBG’s mission is to co-create true wealth by empowering 2 million (20,00,000) girl children (Bangaru thallulu) for a brighter and better future by 2040.

On August 3-4, BBG’s Prerana led a multi-layered empowerment initiative for 1500+ students, parents, and 50 teachers at ZPHS in Peddamberpeta, LB Nagar, and Vanasthalipuram, Telangana.

Children planting saplings at a school in Uttar Pradesh under the Team Balika initiative

Over 4,700 youth volunteers came together to plant 6000 tree saplings on the occasion of International Youth Day

New Delhi (India), August 16: Educate Girls, a non-proﬁt organisation committed to working with marginalised communities to promote girls’ education in rural India, organised a plantation drive to mark International Youth Day on August 12, 2023. Undertaken by its devoted team of community volunteers, known as Team Balika, the theme of this impactful initiative was ‘Ek Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye’ translating to ‘A Tree for Girls’ Education’, aligning seamlessly with this year’s overarching theme of “Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World”.

The plantation drive saw over 4,700 Team Balika members planting over 6000 tree saplings across the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. In addition to highlighting the importance of girls’ education, this initiative by Educate Girls also aimed at drawing focus towards its role in fostering sustainability and combating climate change.

As part of the event, volunteers not only planted trees but also engaged in informative sessions about the importance of green practices, encouraging sustainable behaviour in local communities. The drive aimed to sensitise young minds about the environment’s fragility and the critical role they play in its preservation.

The “Ek Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye” initiative highlights how the connection between girls’ education and the promotion of sustainability and climate change mitigation is unequivocal, and how educated girls rise as formidable catalysts for tackling these issues. With access to quality education, these girls can go on to attain a heightened capacity to propel innovation and promote eco-friendly practices, thereby bringing about transformation within their communities.

“Our “Ek Pedh Balika Shiksha ke Liye” initiative goes beyond the act of planting trees. It aims to instil environmental sensitivity in young people, promote green skills and draw attention to how education and sustainability are interdependent. Our Team Balika ﬁrmly believes that an educated girl signiﬁes more than just an empowered individual; she is a catalyst for positive transformation within her community and the world at large,” stated Vikram Singh Solanki, Head of Field Operations, Educate Girls. “Embracing the profound theme of “Green Skills For Youth” on this year’s International Youth Day, this drive strongly resonates with our commitment to driving change, as we collectively contribute to a better world for generations ahead,” he further added.

Sunita Devi, Team Balika, Prayagraj District, shared her motivation for the initiative “Every individual has a duty to plant a tree in their life and take care of it. By planting trees in larger numbers, we can conserve the environment. Due to continuous deforestation, environmental pollution is increasing. Through this initiative, we will create awareness in society for both girls’ education and a greener future.”

Founded by visionary leader Safeena Husain in 2007, Educate Girls is a non-proﬁt organisation committed to bridging the gender gap and mobilising communities for girls’ education in India’s rural and educationally backward areas. Working in partnership with the government, Educate Girls currently operates in over 21,000 villages of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

British PM Rishi Sunak Visits Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha At Cambridge University

JR Choudhary — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 12:35:10 +0530

Cambridge (UK), August 15: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today graced the spiritually enlightening event of renowned spiritual leader Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha, which is currently taking place on the esteemed campus of Cambridge University. This marks a significant moment as Morari Bapu conducts his 921st recital, titled ‘Manas Vishwavidyalay,’ on the grounds of Cambridge University, making it the pioneering instance of a Hindu programme held at a British university.

A practitioner of Hinduism and the first Prime Minister of Indian descent in Britain, Rishi Sunak made a floral offering to Morari Bapu’s Vyas Peeth making a salutation of “Jai Siya Ram”.

Opening his speech, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, “It is truly an honour and pleasure to be here today at Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha at the University of Cambridge on Indian Independence Day. Bapu, I am here today not as a prime minister but as a Hindu! For me faith is very personal. It guides me in every aspect of my life. Being Prime Minister is a great honour, but it is not an easy job. There are difficult decisions to make, hard choices to confront and our faith gives me courage, strength, and resilience to do the best that I can for our country.”

“For me, it was a wonderful and special moment to light diyas for Diwali outside 11 Downing Street back when I was Chancellor. And just like Bapu has a Golden Hanuman in his background, I am proud that a Golden Ganesha sits gleefully on my desk at 10 Downing Street,” he said, commenting on Hanuman’s image behind Vyaspeetha, adding, “It is a constant reminder to me about listening and reflecting on issues before acting!”

Rishi Sunak said that he was proud to be British and proud to be Hindu. He recalled his childhood and growing up years in South Hampton where he visited his neighbourhood temple with his siblings and participated in rituals like havans, pujas, artis, and distribution of prasad with his family.

“Our values and what I see Bapu does each day of his life are the values of selfless service, devotion and keeping faith. But perhaps the greatest value is duty or seva, as we know it. These Hindu values are very much shared British values.”

“I leave here today remembering the Ramayana that Bapu speaks on, but also the Bhagavad Gita and the Hanuman Chalisa. And for me, Lord Ram will always be an inspirational figure to face life’s challenges with courage, to govern with humility and to work selflessly.”

“Bapu, with your blessings, I aspire to lead in accordance with how our scriptures have taught leaders to lead,” he said emphatically.

“Thank you Bapu for everything that you do. Your teaching of truth, love and compassion are more relevant now than they have ever been,” Rishi Sunak stated.

PM Rishi Sunak concluded by lauding Bapu’s inspiring work and limitless stamina and devotion, citing the recently concluded Jyotirlinga Ram Katha Yatra that covered over 12000 kilometres. Later, the PM participated in the Aarti on stage.

In extending a warm welcome to the British Prime Minister, Morari Bapu invoked the blessings of Lord Hanuman, seeking boundless strength to facilitate his devoted service to the people of Britain. Bapu expressed his earnest desire that every citizen of the nation may reap the benefits and rewards stemming from the Prime Minister’s visionary leadership.

In his opening remarks of the Katha, Morari Bapu had hailed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak not merely as the head of the nation, but as an individual of Indian descent. Bapu also shared that Rishi Sunak’s name is derived from the revered sage Rishi Shaunak, and this connection to an esteemed sage resonates deeply with Indians who find great joy in witnessing a leader with such roots occupy the prime ministerial role.

The spiritual luminary also commended Rishi Sunak’s gesture of offering food as prasad to 50-100 volunteers before to attending the event, highlighting its alignment with intrinsic Indian traditions. Bapu acknowledged that while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak typically refrains from accepting gifts, he chose to present a consecrated Shivlinga from Somnath as a token, a sacred offering from the Jyotirlinga Ram Katha Yatra.

In the morning before the Katha, Morari Bapu had unfurled the Indian Tricolour at Cambridge University, symbolizing 76 years of Indian Independence as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.

Morari Bapu’s enlightening Katha commenced on August 12 with a warm reception by Sonita Alleyne OBE, the 41st Master and the first woman to lead Jesus College since its inception in 1496, along with Lord Dolar Popat, a distinguished Conservative peer at the House of Lords, representing the organizing family.

Maharashtra CM Seeks An Evacuation Solution for the Nation’s Independence from Fire Emergencies

JR Choudhary — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 15:15:02 +0530

Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Eknath Shinde Addressing 77th Independence Day

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: India will be celebrating its 77th Independence Day on 15th August 2023, marking 76 years of freedom. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Nation First, Always First” as becoming the fifth-largest economy in the world. Many sectors have played a pivotal role in making India a powerful country. The rapid pace of urbanization has been a key driver of India’s economic growth over the past few decades, with urban centers such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, NCR, Pune, and Hyderabad.

As we have seen this infrastructural growth, we have also seen hazardous incidents taking too many lives. Fire Incidents are one of them. Maharashtra, which contributes the highest to the country’s GDP, also sees the highest number of accidental fires. With 9,344 incidents in the last five years, Maharashtra has topped the list. Although, with the joint efforts of the State Government, Municipal Corporations, and Fire Department the numbers have declined. Maharashtra is working towards policies that can prevent and protect the citizens from Fire Incidents.

Stating the state safety norms Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Said, “Maharashtra state has already begun its journey to becoming a leader of the country. As we are celebrating the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, I would like to take this opportunity to applaud Maharashtra Fire Department, and Energy Department, along with the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai and Maharashtra, for all the initiatives they have taken to ensure the safety of our citizens. Maharashtra is rising vertically high, and to ensure the safety of Citizens & Fire Fighters, the state government has taken a visionary step by incorporating a Fire Evacuation Lift for buildings 70 meters and above. They have our full support for the development of Maharashtra and its citizens. Also, it is remarkable how Municipal Corporations are making it stricter for safer living. This is a great solution for our heroes; firefighters to reach higher floors with almost zero fatigue to fight fire & rescues people. The state government has also ensured that a circular has been sent to all the lift manufacturers to adhere to the specifications of the Energy Department. It is time for the Nation to have Independence from Fire Emergencies.”

Additional Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide said, “The Mumbai Fire Brigade of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation stands as a beacon of firefighting. In a metropolis like Mumbai, which is marked by towering structures and skyscrapers, evacuation holds paramount importance during fires. To enhance safety in tall buildings, the Maharashtra Energy Department mandates fire evacuation lifts for structures over 70 meters. This aids swift evacuation during fires, especially for vulnerable groups. Fireman evacuation lifts are also required for firefighting ease. The launch of the AgniRakshak training two years back, a civic awareness initiative by MFB, and the implementation of fire evacuation lifts in tall buildings underscore Mumbai’s commitment to safety. This Independence Day, let’s collectively pledge to prioritize fire safety, embracing evacuation protocols as a cornerstone of our city’s resilience. With unity and awareness, we can ensure a secure and thriving Mumbai for all.”

Along with the CM, fire department officials have shared a message for the citizens of Maharashtra.

R N Ambulgekar, Chief Fire Officer of Mumbai, said, “Throughout the year, we firefighters do our best to ensure the safety of our citizens. It’s the hardship of my fellow members that we have been able to save millions of lives during fire emergencies. I would like to salute all the firefighters who work 24×7 like a superhero. I request all citizens adhere to fire safety and evacuation norms for safer living.”

Girish Zalke, Chief fire Officer of Thane, has wished Happy 76th Independence Day Anniversary to all. He added, On this prestigious occasion, All citizens living in high-rise buildings are advised that the fire prevention measures installed in the building should be ascertained. The stairs in the building should be kept in order. Information about refuge areas should be taken care of, and maintenance of electrical appliances in your home should be done properly.”

Devendra Potphode, Chief Fire Officer of Pune said, In Maharashtra State aims to address fire-related emergencies through efficient evacuation strategies, advanced firefighting equipment, and comprehensive training programs. The initiative focuses on creating a robust framework that integrates early warning systems, well-defined unobstructed evacuation routes, a sufficient number of staircases, and collaboration among relevant authorities to ensure the safety of citizens during fire incidents. Maharashtra aims to set an example for the nation in effectively managing and mitigating fire emergencies.”

Dr. Vikram Mehta, an Industry Expert said, “Maharashtra State government has done a tremendous work in Fire Safety and Evacuation. The introduction of new technologies and fully efficient equipment has made fire rescue operations safer. In July 2022, the state government introduced Fire Evacuation Lift to save lives and assets and for firefighters to reach higher floors faster. I urge the people of Maharashtra to follow the norms for safer living. The government is making strict rules for the safety of its citizens, and it is our job to follow them and respect those decisions.”

By leveraging digital tools and resources, the policy envisions a more interactive and immersive learning experience. Realising the potential of this integration, Founder of Ashoka University Pranav Gupta adds, “Incorporating technology enhances accessibility and inclusivity, enabling students from diverse backgrounds to engage with educational content on a global scale.”

As the NEP celebrated its 3rd anniversary soon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the event in New Delhi recently with the objective to discuss, deliberate, and share insights on various aspects of the policy and its implementation. “The world is looking at India as a nursery of new possibilities. The NEP aims to make India a hub of research and innovation. The policy has given equal importance to traditional knowledge systems and futuristic technology,” stated PM Modi.

Surat Industrialist Subhash Dawar to Lead Devdoot Vanar Sena’s Social Revolution in Gujarat

JR Choudhary — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 16:13:46 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 5: Subhash Dawar, a prominent industrialist hailing from the diamond city of Surat, has been chosen to spearhead ‘Vanar Sena,’ an organization dedicated to social welfare and providing essential aid to the underprivileged across the country, particularly in the state of Gujarat.

Vanar Sena was established by Ajit Pratap Singh, the deputy director in the Social Welfare Department of the Uttar Pradesh Government, with the noble mission of building a large army of selfless angels serving those in need.

With the sole aim of extending a helping hand to the needy in various domains such as medical assistance, blood donation, employment support, providing financial aid for the marriages of impoverished girls, and facilitating education opportunities, Vanar Sena has attracted thousands of volunteers from diverse backgrounds. These volunteers range from high-ranking officers like IAS and IPS to individuals from all walks of life, including well-known personalities.

Ajit Pratap Singh expressed his confidence in Subhash Dawar’s leadership abilities and acknowledged his significant presence in both the industrial and film worlds. He believes that Subhash Dawar’s extensive contacts will bolster Vanar Sena’s growth in Gujarat, a major state in the country.

The core idea behind the organization, as explained by Ajit Singh, is to emulate the behavior of a herd of monkeys coming together to aid a fellow monkey in distress. Similarly, when a person is in need, Vanar Sena strives to have a network of compassionate individuals ready to lend assistance promptly. The initiative began during the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic and has since made remarkable progress, touching the lives of thousands.

In a formal ceremony to inaugurate the organizations operations in Gujarat, international president Preeti Srivastava, affectionately known as ‘Helicopter Didi,’ visited Surat last week. Alongside her, Padma Shri Anand Kumar, (Movie Super 30 Fame) renowned for his exemplary contributions to the field of education, graced the event. The duo received a warm welcome and felicitation from the attendees.

During the event, Anand Kumar praised Subhash Dawar for taking up the mantle of ‘Vanar Sena’ and expressed his hope that Dawar’s efforts would significantly impact the lives of the underprivileged.

Preeti Srivastava acknowledged the invaluable role of volunteers like Subhash Dawar in her mission to support the education of needy children, and she vowed to continue her work in this area in the future, bearing the cost of education for those in need.

Subhash Dawar’s involvement with ‘Vanar Sena’ promises to be a significant step forward in uplifting the less fortunate and providing a strong support system for those facing hardships in Gujarat. With the support of dedicated volunteers and visionary leaders, the organization aims to create a more compassionate and equitable society.
