  • Emerging Bharat Welfare Foundation Leads Blood Donation Camp in Mumbai

    Emerging Bharat Welfare Foundation Leads Blood Donation Camp in Mumbai

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 26: In a remarkable display of public spirit and solidarity, more than 200 donors participated in a blood donation camp organized by the Emerging Bharat Welfare Foundation at Country Club, Veera Desai Road, Andheri West. The camp, held on Tuesday, brought together individuals from all walks of life with one shared goal — to help save lives.

    Led by Foundation Directors Mr. Mahendra Turakhia Ji & Mr. Bobby Siddhu, the event was a well-planned and smoothly executed initiative. From donor registration to health screening and post-donation care, every step was handled with professional precision and warmth.

    The camp was further honored by the presence of MLA Dr. Bharathi Lavekar, who visited the site and applauded the Foundation’s efforts. “This is a great example of how local leadership and community participation can work hand in hand. Donating blood is a simple act, but its impact is profound. I’m truly moved by the number of people who came forward today,” she said.

    Participants were offered free medical check-ups, healthy refreshments, and certificates of appreciation. Most importantly, they left knowing that their contributions could make the difference between life and death for someone in need.

    A central force behind the event, Mr. Mahendra Turakhia Ji, brings not just professional expertise but a deep social conscience to every project. A Chartered Accountant with over four decades of experience in finance, taxation, and governance, he is equally respected for his tireless work in the social sector.

    Mr. Mahendra Turakhia Ji has long been involved in community-focused initiatives, including undertrial welfare, slum rehabilitation, minority rights, and financial literacy. His ability to combine structured planning with grassroots sensitivity has made him a unique and effective leader in both business and social reform circles.

    As Director of the Foundation, Mr. Mahendra Turakhia Ji believes that the power to change society lies within its citizens.

    “When over 200 people come together not for gain, but to give — that’s the spirit that drives real change. Blood donation isn’t just a medical act, it’s a moral responsibility. We’re grateful to every single donor who chose to show up and serve humanity,” he said.

    Beyond healthcare, the Emerging Bharat Welfare Foundation is also making bold strides in sports and youth development. Mr. Mahendra Turakhia Ji, Mr. Bobby Siddhu, and Tajamul Islam—a celebrated national kickboxing champion—jointly founded the Emerging Bharat Sports Academy in Malad West, Mumbai, with Tajamul Islam serving as the Head Coach. The academy currently trains over 1300+ students, promoting discipline, athleticism, and self-confidence among youth.

    The Foundation has already conducted inspiring sports events across Jammu & Kashmir, Srinagar, Bandipora, and Mumbai Juhu, offering young athletes a platform to compete, grow, and thrive. These efforts reinforce the Foundation’s commitment to empowering India’s future through both social welfare and sports excellence.

    The Emerging Bharat Welfare Foundation has been instrumental in driving health and social campaigns across India. From organizing blood donation drives to supporting youth through grassroots sports and para-athlete recognition, the Foundation consistently works to promote inclusivity, dignity, and access.

    With growing momentum and public support, the Foundation plans to expand its outreach to more cities and underserved communities in the coming months. Events like these are not just about statistics — they are about building a culture of empathy, awareness, and active citizenship.

    In the words of one volunteer, “Today, Mumbai bled with purpose — and in that, there is strength.”

  • Sowing Seeds of Health and Knowledge: Hyderabad’s School Gardens – An Inspiration for All India

    Sowing Seeds of Health and Knowledge: Hyderabad’s School Gardens – An Inspiration for All India

    Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 26: In a truly landmark move poised to revolutionize student well-being and practical education, government schools across Hyderabad are set to cultivate their own organic vegetable gardens.1 This visionary initiative, championed by Hari Chandana IAS, the esteemed District Collector, aims to provide fresh, nutritious, and chemical-free produce for midday meals, offering a powerful model of health, sustainability, and hands-on learning that can inspire government schools nationwide.

    This concept, while seemingly simple, carries profound implications. Instead of relying solely on external procurement, schools with available land will establish thriving vegetable patches. For those in urban settings with limited space, innovative solutions like vertical farming and grow bags will be employed, ensuring no school is left behind. This “farm-to-plate” approach ensures children receive the freshest possible ingredients, directly combating nutritional deficiencies and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals.

    Beyond the Plate: A Living Classroom for Holistic Growth

    The impact of this initiative extends far beyond just healthier meals. These school gardens will become vibrant, living laboratories for students. By actively participating in planting, nurturing, and harvesting vegetables, children will gain invaluable practical knowledge in:

    • Agriculture and Sustainability: Understanding food cycles, soil health, and eco-friendly farming methods.
    • Nutrition and Healthy Eating: Connecting directly to where their food comes from, fostering appreciation for healthy produce and diverse diets.2
    • Environmental Stewardship: Developing a sense of responsibility towards nature and sustainable practices.
    • Teamwork and Responsibility: Learning collaborative skills and the satisfaction of contributing to their community’s well-being.

    This integrated approach perfectly aligns with the national emphasis on experiential learning and holistic child development.

    Hari Chandana: Cultivating Change with Honesty and Vision

    This initiative is a shining example of the kind of impactful governance led by Hari Chandana IAS, an officer who has consistently proven her dedication to public welfare. Her reputation as a popular IAS officer stems from her ability to envision and execute complex projects that genuinely benefit the community.3 From her “Eco Warrior” efforts in waste management and lake rejuvenation to her proactive stance on youth welfare, she has demonstrated a rare blend of innovation and integrity.4

    Her push for organic school gardens reflects her honest commitment to making the school children’s future very bright, not just academically but also physically and environmentally. She understands that healthy bodies are essential for healthy minds. Her practical approach ensures that the initiative is adaptable, making it achievable even for schools with limited space.

    A Nationwide Harvest of Inspiration

    The Hyderabad model offers a compelling blueprint for every government school across India. Its advantages are clear:

    • Improved Student Health: Direct access to fresh, organic produce for midday meals.
    • Enhanced Learning: Practical, interdisciplinary education in a real-world setting.
    • Cost-Effectiveness: Potential for reduced meal costs and self-sufficiency over time.
    • Community Engagement: Opportunities for parents and local communities to get involved.
    • Environmental Awareness: Promoting sustainable practices and green spaces in schools.

    As government schools nationwide strive to provide comprehensive education and nurture responsible citizens, Hyderabad’s organic school gardens stand as a beacon of innovation. This initiative, championed by a dedicated and honest leader like Hari Chandana IAS, holds the potential to inspire a nationwide movement, sowing seeds of health, knowledge, and sustainability in the hearts and minds of millions of Indian students.

  • Studio to Stage: The Parth Bharat Thakkar Soundscape

    Studio to Stage: The Parth Bharat Thakkar Soundscape

    New Delhi [India], July 26: In the world of Indian music where competition is relentless and the soundscape ever-evolving, Parth Thakkar stands out—not just as a composer or singer, but as someone music chose. Before fame, before film credits, there was a boy who could spend hours—entire days—at the keyboard, exploring melodies and sounds. It wasn’t a career decision; it was a calling.

    Parth’s debut track Majha Ni Life in 2009 marked the beginning of his professional journey, but his musical soul was shaped long before that. Over the years, he’s collaborated with an eclectic mix of music directors, composers, singers, and artists, building not just a network but a close-knit family in Mumbai. “Everyone comes from different cities,” he shares, “but we grow together here.”

    His journey, however, hasn’t been without its share of highs and lows. The music industry demands consistency without guarantees—there’s no fixed 9-to-6, no stable pay check. “You have to be relevant,” he says. “Everyone gives opinions about your music, and now with social media, jo dikhta hai wahi bikta hai. You must put yourself out there, be visible, be excellent.”

    Through it all, Parth has remained patient and persistent. Every comeback has been stronger, every pause temporary. And now, he’s back again with a slate of new releases that span both films and independent music.

     

    His upcoming work includes the soundtrack for the film Maharani, with its title song already out. Another track from the same film—Mumbaiya Gujarati—is a vibrant number featuring Parth himself alongside digital star Viraj Ghelani. A soothing lullaby from the same album adds contrast, highlighting Parth’s versatility. He’s also contributed to the film Misri, with voices like Sonu Nigam, Amit Trivedi, Raj Pandit, Shalmali Kholgade, Mansi, and Sangeetaben Labadiya bringing his compositions to life.

    And he’s not stopping there. This year will see multiple singles, a Navratri special, and a series of live performances—including public shows across eight or more days in Ahmedabad at different venues, where he will perform with his full band.

    Despite his evolving role as a singer, Parth identifies as a composer first. “There were times directors or popular voices insisted I sing certain tracks to retain the feel. That’s how I started singing,” he reflects.

    For Parth, every song is like giving birth—an emotional creation where he becomes the parent. “If you enjoy the process, the audience will feel it too,” he says. And if there’s one thing that has made this demanding journey possible, it’s the unwavering support of family—his parents, his wife, and everyone who believed in his dream. With a partner who’s not just a lyricist but someone who intuitively understands his music and writes for him, Parth has a rare synergy both personally and professionally.

    His story is not just about music; it’s about belief, resilience, and staying true to what calls you—even when it doesn’t promise an easy road.

  • Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month 2025: Raising Awareness to Create Survivors

    Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month 2025: Raising Awareness to Create Survivors

    New Delhi [India], July 25: Since July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Chetan Anchan, Director and Senior Musculoskeletal Surgeon, SSO Cancer Hospital, talks about the importance of early detection and early intervention in the treatment of bone and soft tissue cancers. The theme of this year, ‘Raising Awareness to Create Survivors,’ casts a spotlight on active awareness and access to care, which are crucial in creating equal opportunities for cancer patients (including those with sarcoma and bone cancers) in India.

    Bone cancers like osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are aggressive diseases and largely affect children and adolescents. According to Dr. Anchan, one of the leading musculoskeletal oncology experts in India, early diagnosis not only increases the chances of survival but also results in more successful limb-sparing surgeries, leading to excellent functional outcomes.

    Primary Bone Cancers are uncommon but life-disrupting diseases that affect young adults and children. They belong to a group of cancers called sarcoma. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reports an incidence of 1-2 per 100,000 persons in the country.

    The most common bone cancers are:

    • Osteosarcoma – Most prevalent among adolescents and young adults. It primarily affects the long bones close to a major joint, the knee region being the most commonly affected site.
    • Ewing Sarcoma – It is most commonly observed in children and adolescents, and most often in the pelvis, chest wall, or long bones.
    • Chondrosarcoma – It is more common in older adults and middle-aged individuals. The pelvis is a well-known site for this disease. It can also affect other bones, including the long bones.

    Besides bone, sarcoma can also occur in the soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. These are called soft tissue sarcomas. There are more than 70 different types of soft tissue sarcomas. A large majority of them are found in adults. However, some types may affect children and adolescents.

    The signs of bone cancer are often confused with regular orthopaedic problems, thus causing a delay in diagnosis. It is advisable to be aware of the following symptoms:

    • Unexplained pain of a few weeks’ duration at any site
    • Pain which is felt even at rest
    • Pain which is worsening
    • Often, these are ignored as growing pains in children. It is always safer to see your doctor and investigate
    • Any unexplained lump or swelling, especially if it is growing

    “These subtle signs may appear trivial, but can indicate an underlying tumor. Awareness at the grassroots level is vital,” adds Dr. Anchan.

    Diagnosis and Treatment: Timely Action Can Save Lives

    The road to diagnosis includes:

    • X-rays, MRI, and CT scans to detect any abnormality
    • In selected cases, a biopsy is performed to diagnose the condition (if indicated).
    • Bone scan / PET-CT scan and blood work for staging and planning treatment.

    Treatment plans are customized based on type, stage, and location of the tumor, and may include:

    • Surgery (often limb-sparing in early cases),
    • Chemotherapy for systemic disease control,
    • Radiation therapy in select scenarios.

    A Call for Nationwide Action

    Dr. Anchan urges health authorities, clinicians, and NGOs to focus on:

    • Public education campaigns for early symptom recognition.
    • Accessible diagnostic services, particularly in semi-urban and rural regions.
    • Oncology training for general practitioners, often the first point of contact.
    • Policy-level funding for bone cancer research and infrastructure.

    “Each survivor starts with awareness. Every family we educate is a life potentially saved,” says Dr. Anchan. “Bone cancer may be rare, but ignorance shouldn’t be the reason for late diagnosis or loss of life and limb.”

    About Dr. Chetan Anchan

    Dr. Chetan Anchan is a leading researcher in musculoskeletal oncology, now occupying the position of Director and Senior Musculoskeletal Oncosurgeon at SSO Cancer Hospital. His knowledge of complicated tumors and limb salvaging surgery is well known across the whole country and his whole career has been devoted to the improvement of care of bone cancer patients in India.

  • World IVF Day 2025: Expert Advice for Aspiring Parents

    World IVF Day 2025: Expert Advice for Aspiring Parents

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 25: Each year on July 25th, we mark World IVF Day, a celebration of a remarkable scientific breakthrough that has transformed lives across the globe. But beyond the science, this day is a powerful reminder of hope. A reminder that parenthood, once a distant dream for many, is now a reality thanks to assisted reproductive technologies.

    Today, as we honor the pioneers who made IVF possible and the millions of babies born through it, I want to pause and speak directly to those still waiting. Those silently struggling with the question—“Why not us?”

    In my years of practice, I’ve met countless couples who delay seeking help. Some are hopeful that nature will eventually take its course. Others don’t even realize there may be a medical reason behind their struggles. I understand. It’s not easy to face the possibility that something might be wrong. But here’s the truth: fertility is not something we can afford to take for granted. Like time, it moves forward. And waiting especially in silence can sometimes mean missing opportunities.

    One of the most important messages I want to share today is this: early awareness changes everything.

    If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year (or for six months if you’re over 35), please don’t wait in uncertainty. Schedule a fertility evaluation. It’s simple, often non-invasive, and could give you valuable answers. In many cases, the solution is far easier than couples expect sometimes just a little support, guidance, or timely intervention is all that’s needed.

    It’s also important to acknowledge the emotional weight many couples carry. Fertility struggles can feel isolating. Social expectations, family pressure, and personal disappointment often add layers of stress. But you are not alone. And more importantly, you are not without options.

    If you’re not yet ready for parenthood but know that you might want children in the future, I strongly recommend looking into egg freezing. It’s a safe and scientifically sound method to preserve your fertility, giving you more control over your timeline without compromising your future dreams. This option is increasingly popular among career-focused individuals, those managing health issues, or simply those who haven’t found the right partner yet. And it’s never about rushing it’s about protecting your choices.

    The field of IVF has come a long way since the first “test-tube baby” was born in 1978. What was once experimental is now routine. Today’s IVF treatments are highly personalised, built around your body, your health, and your goals. With cutting-edge diagnostics, advanced embryo freezing techniques, genetic testing, and world-class laboratories, the success rates are better than ever and the journey is safer and more comfortable too.

    At ART Fertility Clinics, we believe in evidence-based medicine, compassionate care, and giving you the information you need to make empowered decisions. We walk with you through every step because fertility is not just about medical protocols. It’s about people. About hope. About life.

    If you’re reading this and wondering if it’s time to act, let this be your gentle nudge. Ask the questions. Seek the answers. There is no shame in needing help. In fact, one of the bravest things you can do is advocate for your own future.

    Parenthood may not always follow the timeline you imagined but that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. The journey may be different, but the destination is still possible.

    On this World IVF Day, let’s shift the focus from fear and delay to knowledge and action. Let’s normalize fertility conversations. Let’s support each other in this deeply personal but widely shared experience. And above all, let’s keep believing in science, in resilience, and in the power of new beginnings.

    Because waiting should never cost you the chance to become a parent.

    Dr. Richa Jagtap

    Gurugram (Haryana) [India], July 24: As India prepares for a demographic shift—with the country’s 60-plus population projected to exceed 347 million by 2050 (UNFPA India, 2023), the need for world-class senior-care solutions has never been greater. Amidst this backdrop, Aurum Senior & Assisted Living emerges as a beacon of innovation and compassion, setting new standards in elder care in India.

    Aurum Living’s Visionary Beginnings With “Aurum Haven”

    Expansion to Two Facilities

    What started as a single 40,000 sq. ft. flagship campus – Aurum Haven, at Gurugram, quickly captured hearts across Delhi-NCR region. Residents cherished their experience at Aurum Living and began recommending it to friends and family. Encouraged by the overwhelming number of requests, we unveiled our second facility – Aurum Springs, also located in Gurugram. This new location carries forward the same design philosophy, now enriched with:

    • Senior Living facility with dedicated Memory-Care tailored for cognitive support.
    • Post-operative care for rehab and recovery after major surgeries.
    • Physio-Wellness Pavilion with cutting-edge rehabilitation equipment

    This expansion underscored Aurum’s commitment to growth and quality—proving that premium senior living in India is both needed and valued.

    Leadership That Drives Growth

    Under the strategic guidance of Dr. Sameer Gupta (Managing Director – Aurum Senior & Assisted Living, Director – Metro Group of Hospital and US-trained Interventional Cardiologist) and Dr. Sonia Lal Gupta (Joint Director – Aurum Senior & Assisted Living, Director – Metro Group of Hospital, Managing Director, Metro College of Health Sciences and Research, US-trained Senior Neurologist), Aurum’s programs blended innovative clinical care with culturally rooted activities.

    Upon returning to India after their medical training abroad, they immediately recognised the vast, unmet need for trustworthy, clinically driven senior‑care options—a realisation that would soon shape Aurum Senior & Assisted Living.

    “India is not only ageing, it is evolving. Our seniors don’t want to be dependent; they want to live fully, safely, and with dignity. Aurum is built for that future.”
    — Dr. Sameer Gupta, Managing Director, Aurum     Senior & Assisted Living

    “We didn’t want to replicate the Western model. We wanted to build what India needed, a care ecosystem rooted in culture, compassion, and clinical excellence.”
    — Dr. Sonia Lal Gupta, Joint Director, Aurum     Senior & Assisted Living

    First Milestones & Resident Triumphs

    • Aurum Living is a one-of-a-kind senior living community, founded and managed by a family of doctors, including a Senior Cardiologist with over 45 years of experience, a US-trained Senior Interventional Cardiologist and Senior Neurologist.
    • Over 90% of occupancy achieved within just a few months, driven by heartfelt word-of-mouth recommendations.
    • A proud moment for the Aurum family as our senior residents successfully completed the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon 2024—Senior Citizens’ Run.

    A richly diverse senior living community, with residents from across India—south to north—as well as returning NRIs. From professors and doctors to retired army officers, Aurum is a vibrant cultural and intellectual haven for healthy aging, where senior residents thrive with purpose and dignity.

    “Moving from Jaipur, I feared losing my independence. At Aurum I’ve gained it back—plus a new walking group at morning every day!”
    — Ms. Manisha Chauhan, Resident, Aurum Senior Assisted Living

    “As an NRI returning from United States, I worried about fitting in. The multilingual staff and daily fun and games activities made me feel at home within a week.”
    — Ms. Indra, Resident, Aurum Senior Assisted Living

    Aurum Springs (June 2024)

    In mid-2024, Aurum Springs welcomed its residents. Within a week, this campus received immense popularity that people who visited it said Aurum is not just senior living facility, instead it has become synonymous with joyful ageing.

    Aurum Springs is well-equipped for dedicated, personalized care—offering advanced post-operative recovery, dementia programs, geriatric-palliative support, full-day senior day-care, and on-site physiotherapy.

    “After my bypass surgery at a private hospital, recovery felt daunting—until I arrived at Aurum. Their advanced post-operative care sped up my healing, the nurse was wonderfully attentive, the meals were helpful in healing, and every member of the staff made me feel genuinely valued.”

  • From Runways to Heritage, Tamil Nadu to Witness a Visit That Connects Centuries

    From Runways to Heritage, Tamil Nadu to Witness a Visit That Connects Centuries

    Tuticorin (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 25: If you stepped off a bus near the old market on Friday morning, you might’ve noticed something different in the air. It wasn’t the humidity, that’s always there. It was a buzz. Not loud, not chaotic, just… active. The kind of buzz that builds when someone important is on the way, and something big is about to happen.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi will touch down in Tamil Nadu on 26 July, not just to unveil projects, but to leave a certain kind of mark.

    Not only on roads and runways, but also in memory.

    A New Terminal, Finally Taking Off

    Locals had waited for this for years. The Tuticorin airport terminal, spread across 17,000 square meters and built with ₹450 crore, finally opens its doors. It’s modern, clean-lined, solar-powered, and ready to handle 20 lakh passengers a year. But for residents, it’s not the numbers that matter; it’s the fact that it exists. That people from this coastal corner won’t have to travel hours for decent air connectivity anymore.

    One shopkeeper near the airport said, “It looks like something from a bigger city. We weren’t expecting it.”

    You could see the pride in the workers on the floors as they work on the PM’s arrival.

    Roads, Ports, and the Sound of Freight in Tamil Nadu

    While most attention was on the airport, two highway projects also got the nod. One links Sethiyathope to Cholapuram with a fresh four-lane route and a bridge across the Kollidam River. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes it easier for a farmer to get sugarcane to the next town, or for a bus to actually run on time.

    On the logistics side, Tuticorin port got its own upgrade. The North Cargo Berth–III, now complete, will allow the port to handle an extra 7 million tonnes of cargo a year. That may not mean much to the average commuter, but to the truckers and loaders, it’s a game-changer.

    The fantastic thing is, ports rarely get fanfare. But this one matters.

    Rail Lines and Energy Corridors For The People

    PM Modi’s visit also covers three rail projects across southern Tamil Nadu. Electrification and line-doubling efforts might not seem photo-worthy, but they’re what make things tick behind the scenes. A smoother ride from Madurai to Bodinayakkanur means fewer delays and more reliable services, not flashy, just efficient.

    Then there’s the Kudankulam Power Plant. Units 3 and 4 are still under construction, but the power they’ll produce needs a way out. A ₹550 crore transmission line, stretching across Tamil Nadu, will quietly carry clean energy into the grid. You won’t see it. But when someone’s fan turns on during a hot night in Salem or Coimbatore, you’ll feel the effort.

    A Pause in Time at Gangaikonda Cholapuram

    And then, just like that, the tone of the trip shifts.

    Gangaikonda Cholapuram - PNN

    In Tiruchirappalli, PM Modi steps into a place built 1000 years ago: Gangaikonda Cholapuram, the royal capital of Rajendra Chola I. The same king who once sent ships across Southeast Asia now has a Prime Minister standing under his temple’s stone ceilings, commemorating his naval journey with a special coin.

    Locals have gathered for Adi Thiruvathirai. The timing feels poetic. The temple, with its weather-worn pillars and quiet sanctity, reminds everyone present that ambition is not new to this land. There’s no campaign speech. Just a sense of presence.

    Not About Headlines, About Echoes

    You could look at this visit as a checklist: airport, check. Roads, check. Railways, check. But if you paid attention, there is something else happening. A pattern, maybe. A stitch between now and then. What do power lines and temples have in common? Not much, unless you believe that progress includes memory. That building a future doesn’t mean paving over the past.

    Some visits are political. This one feels quieter. Maybe even personal. And in a state where history walks alongside you every day, that feels just about right.
