Midway through the discussion, Vijayta Raheja capturing the conclave’s tenor and India’s changing global perception stated: “Today, India is an equal. We are leading the way and leading the change. No longer can anyone call us a Third World Nation.” adding a note of Thanks to Hon. Prime Minister Mr. Modi for his progressive leadership. She also highlighted what the Union Budget for Fiscal Year 26-27 had for the industry and lauded the govt. for the reduction in TCS, steps taken to establish a National Institute of Tourism and the brilliance of the penetrative railway corridor planning that will connect the larger cities to the smaller cities and increase employment across the country; and open new avenues for the Tourism & Hospitality Industry.

The conclave concluded with optimism for 2035 and Rajeev added that post pandemic people are looking forward to experiential travel and that is a trend to stay; Anahita said she was hopeful of great business across verticals.

Adventure Andaman Strengthens Personalized Andaman Tour Services, Offers Major Ferry Savings, and Expands Flexible Travel for Families and Groups
4.9-star rated local travel specialist delivers customized tours, real-time itinerary flexibility, and exclusive ferry ticket offers

Port Blair (Andaman & Nicobar Islands) [India], February 07: Adventure Andaman, a locally operated travel agency based in the Andaman Islands, has reinforced its commitment to personalized, fully managed tour experiences by introducing exclusive savings on ferry ticket bookings and expanding services for families, couples, and group travelers.

Unlike large online travel agencies and automated booking portals, the company emphasizes direct human coordination over fixed, pre-packaged itineraries. Each holiday is planned personally with its sales team, allowing travelers to customize hotels, ferries, transport, sightseeing, and entry tickets according to their preferences.

This approach helps visitors avoid common travel challenges such as ferry seat shortages, scattered bookings, and last-minute coordination hassles — issues that are often difficult to resolve through purely digital platforms.

A key differentiator for Adventure Andaman is its on-ground flexibility during the tour itself. While many large agencies follow rigid schedules, the company actively adjusts plans in real time based on guest comfort, weather conditions, or changing preferences. If travelers wish to modify sightseeing, swap activities, or update their itinerary mid-trip, the local operations team coordinates changes immediately — ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

“Travel plans don’t always go exactly as scheduled, especially on islands,” said Murli, Founder of Adventure Andaman. “We stay available throughout the journey and adjust arrangements whenever guests need changes. That flexibility and personal care are what make holidays truly comfortable.”

While holiday planning remains relationship-driven, Adventure Andaman has invested in technology where it delivers real value — particularly in ferry ticket bookings available at Andaman Ferry ticket booking. Through direct integrations and special promotions, customers can save ₹1,800 or more per ticket, with offers that significantly reduce overall travel costs.

Group travel is now a renewed focus, with tailored options for corporate outings, student trips, extended families, and large friend groups, alongside a strong base of couples and family travelers.

Customers exploring holiday options can view customizable tour offerings at Andaman tour Packages and general company information at https://adventureandaman.com.

The agency has earned a 4.9-star customer rating across hundreds of reviews, with guests frequently praising punctual transfers, responsive coordination, and dedicated ground staff across Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island.

Recent feedback highlights the company’s service-first approach:
- “The tour was totally well managed… pick-up and drop were on time. I would recommend Adventure Andaman to all those visiting Andaman.” — Geeta Ajmani
- “Everything was seamless from start to finish… absolutely fantastic experience.” — Jyotirmayee Behera
- “Very enjoyable and smooth travel experience… perfectly planned and executed.” — Priyanka.
With tourism in the islands steadily rising, Adventure Andaman aims to remain a trusted local partner that blends human expertise, real-time support, and selective technology to deliver dependable, hassle-free travel.

Punjabi music has a celebratory soul, and Suhe Ve Vibe captures that spirit perfectly, especially during the wedding season,” he said.

Gandhharv further added that the intention behind the song was to create a track that becomes an integral part of wedding festivities. “I wanted to create a song that brings people together on the dance floor and makes them sing from the heart, while keeping the soul of Punjabi folk music alive,” he said.

Divine Drop Festival Offers Multi-Generational Cultural Experience in Gurugram

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 07: The Divine Drop Festival, held on 31 January in Gurugram, presented a large-scale spiritual and cultural event aimed at engaging audiences across age groups, moving away from the traditional bhajan-centric format commonly associated with devotional programmes.

Organisers said the festival was curated to reflect Hindu culture as a shared, immersive experience, combining devotion with music, performance art, poetry and ritual, rather than limiting the presentation to conventional bhajan sessions. The format attracted families, younger audiences and devotees, signalling a broader shift in how spiritual events are being designed.

The programme opened with an auspicious Ganesh Vandana, followed by a Sri Krishna-themed dance performance. A live set by Brythm – The Band introduced contemporary musical elements, adding to the event’s appeal among younger attendees while maintaining devotional themes.

One of the prominent segments of the evening was a large-scale Hanuman act, which drew strong engagement from children and family audiences. Poet Phycoshayar recited verses centred on Lord Ram, followed by a Hanuman Chalisa dance performance that resonated with the crowd.

The latter part of the event featured a Shiv Tandav act, after which a Ganga Aarti, performed by pundits from Varanasi, recreated traditional ceremonial practices on stage. Performances by the Damru Mandal accompanied the ritual segment. The festival concluded with the collective chanting of “Om Jai Jagdish Aarti.”

The Divine Drop Festival was conceptualised and directed by Vineet Kumar, Director of Weez Bhakti, and hosted by RJ Rocky, with support from Seed Bliss by YAMS and Pomsse. Organisers said the intent was to present spirituality in a format that remains rooted in tradition while being relevant and engaging for contemporary audiences.

FAP Creates History with World Record: Honouring 11,001 Educators Free of Cost, Redefining Recognition in Indian Education

New Delhi [India], February 07: The Federation of Private Schools and Associations of Punjab (FAP) has made history in Indian education by setting a remarkable world record for honouring 11,001 education professionals over five years, completely free of cost to recipients. This milestone, achieved under the leadership of Dr. Jagjit Singh Dhuri, sends a strong message against commercial recognition systems.

At a time when most educational awards demand:
– Hefty nomination fees
– Participation charges
– Mandatory sponsorship commitments

FAP chose a different path, one based on integrity, fairness, and genuine appreciation. This initiative has not only raised Punjab’s educational status but has also put India on the global education map.

Why FAP’s World Record Matters for India

Many deserving educators and institutions across the country often miss out on national recognition due to financial barriers. The team at FAP, led by Dr. Jagjit Singh Dhuri, broke this long-standing limitation by creating a 100% free recognition platform, making it one of the most inclusive award systems in Indian education.

This historic world record highlights:

– Transparency in the evaluation process
– Integrity in honouring contributors
– Equal opportunity for schools nationwide
– Deep respect for teachers and support staff
– Commitment to raising educational standards

Dr. Dhuri emphasized that this achievement is not just about numbers; it is about restoring dignity to the teaching profession and acknowledging every part of the school ecosystem.

A Recognition Movement, Not Just an Award Ceremony

The FAP National Awards go well beyond a one-day event. They represent a year-long national movement that actively involves schools from across India.

Award recipients include:
– Principals leading with vision
– Teachers shaping young minds
– Students achieving academic success
– Sports champions
– Cultural artists
– Non-teaching staff ensuring smooth school operations

FAP’s philosophy is simple yet powerful: every role matters. No contribution is too small because every effort strengthens the foundation of education.

A Reliable Evaluation System Built on Credibility

To ensure authenticity and fairness, FAP follows a structured two-step assessment process:

– Online evaluation of submitted data
– Offline verification by experienced educators

This hybrid approach combines digital efficiency with human insight, making sure that only genuine achievements are celebrated. As a result, the FAP National Awards have gained strong credibility and respect across India.

Graced by Eminent Personalities

FAP award ceremonies are known for their grandeur and inspiration and have welcomed:
– State and central government representatives
– Renowned educationists
– Film industry personalities
– Eminent poets and writers
– Sports icons
– Senior administrative leaders

Their presence further confirms the importance and national relevance of FAP’s initiative.

A World Record That Sparked a National Ripple Effect

The impact of this historic achievement has been extensive. It has:
– Motivated thousands of educators
– Inspired schools to improve quality
– Encouraged innovative teaching methods
– Boosted student confidence
– Strengthened community trust in private education

Today, FAP’s world record stands not just as a statistic, but as a powerful symbol of educational reform, empowerment, and collective progress.

As Dr. Jagjit Singh Dhuri rightly states, this milestone marks the start of a new era where recognition is driven by merit, not money, and where educators finally receive the respect they truly deserve.

Pony Verma Presents SUR, A Soulful Short Film That Listens to the Unheard Voice of Artists

Presented by Pony Verma, SUR is an intimate, honest short film that captures the quiet resilience, vulnerability, and emotional truth of an artist’s life beyond the spotlight.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 06: SUR, a poignant short film presented by renowned artist and choreographer Pony Verma, brings to the forefront a deeply human story that exists far beyond performance and applause. Produced by Mango Curry Films Pvt. Ltd., in association with Kings of Bollywood and WonKru, the film is directed by Abhay Chopra and produced by Shamshad Khan and Nilesh Nanaware, founders of Mango Curry Films, and Shivam Gupta.

Rooted in the everyday realities of Mumbai’s chawls and local trains, SUR follows the journey of Sandeep, a struggling singer whose relationship with music is not a choice, but a necessity. Living with his father a once-passionate painter now half-blind and defeated, Sandeep finds himself trapped between societal expectations and an inner calling that refuses to fade.

As the pressure to “earn a living” intensifies, Sandeep is repeatedly reminded of a brutal truth echoed around him: “Art se pet nahi bharta.” His father’s frustration peaks when he bans Sandeep from practising music and sells his harmonium, pushing the young artist into emotional isolation and despair. What follows is a quiet yet powerful exploration of dignity, validation, and the fragile moments that keep an artist alive.

Starring Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Roshann Rajesh Chauhan, SUR presents performances steeped in restraint and realism, mirroring lives shaped by compromise, suppressed dreams, and unspoken pain. The film gently blurs the line between survival and self-expression, asking whether art can ever truly be separated from identity.

Speaking about her association with the film, Pony Verma shared that SUR resonated with her on a deeply personal level. “What exists beyond the screen is the discipline, vulnerability, and quiet resilience that shape every honest story. Sur reflects this unseen world with rare authenticity; it understands the life of an artist, where music, movement, and emotion become a language of truth, not performance. Presenting Sur feels deeply personal to me, as it mirrors the artistic journeys I have witnessed around me, stories driven by conviction, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to craft. This film is a sincere tribute to the spirit of creation, which is why it holds such meaning for me.”

Sharing his vision behind the film, Director Abhay Chopra said, “SUR comes from lived spaces from Mumbai’s local trains, cramped chawls, unanswered auditions, and the quiet suffering artists carry every day. This film is not about success or recognition; it is about endurance. Sometimes, after years of struggle, all it takes is one small moment of validation to keep an artist alive. SUR is for every artist who continues to hold on, even when the world asks them to let go.”

At its core, SUR is not just a story of a father and son, it is a reflection of two artists broken by the same world, separated by time but bound by unfulfilled dreams. In its quiet final moments, the film leaves audiences with a lingering truth: art never truly dies, it survives in fragments, waiting to be heard.

A responsibility to uphold credibility, authenticity, and excellence.”

A Platform Built Season by Season

Since its inception, Marvelous Mrs India has steadily carved a space that goes beyond crowns and titles — focusing on confidence, character, and conscious representation.
- Season 1 set the foundation, introducing a fresh, dignified, and empowering format for married women. The season celebrated purpose-led participation, culminating in a powerful win by Dr. Sunita Dia who embodied grace, beauty, and substance.
- Season 2 elevated the platform further, expanding its national and international footprint. Held in Udaipur, the season saw Salona Pati crowned as the winner, with participants joining from India and across the globe.
- Season 3 continued the journey of scale, refinement, and vision, strengthening MMI’s reputation as a serious, value-driven national pageant with global alignment. With Anjali Kothari, winning the crown with Amruta Fadnavis ji, Nivritti Devi Mewar, Dhruv Somani and Sangeeta Bijlani as the judges.
With the awarding of the Mrs India World licence, Marvelous Mrs India now becomes the official gateway for Indian representation at Mrs World, positioning the platform among the most respected international pageant pathways.

A New Chapter for Indian Representation

This development is a moment of pride not just for MMI, but for Indian women everywhere — signalling continuity, trust, and a return to values-driven pageantry. The licence ensures that India’s representative at Mrs World emerges from a platform deeply rooted in lived experience, mentorship, and purpose.

What began as one woman’s historic win has now evolved into a legacy platform — one that enables many women to step into their power, claim their space, and represent India with dignity on the world stage.

As Marvelous Mrs India steps into this new chapter, the message is clear:
Dreams don’t end — they expand. And sometimes, they come beautifully full circle.

New Delhi [India], February 07: Pandit Naviin Gandharv is going to mesmerize financial capital on 8th February at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Mumbai. A musical treat of lyrical expressions without words with his unique instrument ‘Belabaharr,’ and his Anuraaj Classical Band. The Belabaharr was invented in 1980 by his father & Guru Pandit Babulal Gandharv (the first player) and a top-grade artist from All India Radio.

Pandit Naviin Gandharv is an Artist who was born to serve with music, chosen by the Almighty for a massive venture in the music world. Born on 20 December 1976 in Nevri village, Dewas City, Madhya Pradesh, he belongs to the 5th generation of sarangi players & vocalists . The Belabaharr is a one-of-a-kind instrument that merges the principles of Violin, Sarangi and Lyrical expressions . He is also a Tabla Soloist with equal passion & dexterity & is known to be a complete artist , a dynamic & versatile performer who made the instruments to speak a language recognised by human beings & nature as well.

Whether it’s a 3-hour Classical Raga on the Belabaharr or a 2 hrs Tabla solo or Ghazal, Bhajan, Folk Sufi, Fusion, EDM with DJs, Film Songs & the most humble attitude to each & every fan, follower or learner, probably there is only one option in the world that is Naviin Gandharv.

Melody & rhythm are a rare combination,but with immense dedication to music, he has achieved this feat & earned fame for his family’s musical tradition. Over 30 years of his career he has performed for various institutions such as the NCPA, ICCR, Essar Group, Lakme Fashion Week, IMG St. Xavier’s College Sanskriti Upvan & many prestigious events like the globally famous Shri Anant Ambaniji s wedding at the Antilia , Shri Gautam Adani’s Residence Shantivan & at many prestigious music festivals all around.

Achieving all this may be comfortable in a privileged environment of a rich dynasty but Pandit Naviin achieved this feat in the most scarce situations with hardest efforts. Every title whether Ustad ,Pandit , Maestro or Legend falls short when it comes to his commitment for the Belabaharr, Tabla , his band Anuraaj Classical band & for Indian Arts & Artists.

He has not only added new dimensions to bow instruments but also added unique color to classical music,and gave contemporary flavors through Anuraaj to increase its reach among youngsters presenting young highly talented Artists of our country exhibiting the power of Indian music & it’s infinite possibilities.

His dedication is such that he is available to every music lover or learner at any moment. It would be appropriate if called as the true representative of Indian music on the world stage!

There are countless legendary artists in the world but Pandit Naviin Gandharv stands different & is as soft hearted humble & innovative as his name ‘Naviin Gandharv ” a real Gandharv on earth.

The whole credit behind his success he gives to his family First & foremost Father Pandit Babulal Gandharv, Brother Shri Devanand Gandharv ji, the back bone of Anuraaj & especially to his mother Swargiya Shrimati Champaben Gandharv ji who has always been the source of inspiration ,he dedicates his musical notes & all concerts to her.
