Students from these institutions will also have the opportunity to apply for the prestigious NAMTECH MET Fellowship, which supports eligible final-year students and alumni (under 30 years of age) to pursue a one-year International Professional Master’s Program (iPMP) at NAMTECH.

Arunkumar Pillai, Director General and CEO of NAMTECH, said,

“This strategic partnership marks a significant step in fostering both technological and cultural integration for students from the Northeast. NAMTECH stands to gain immensely from this collaboration, as working alongside premier institutions like NITs and IIITs of Northeast adds tremendous value to our mission. Our integrated education model, combined with the academic leadership of Institutes of National Importance, creates a strong foundation for workforce development and innovation-led transformation, contributing meaningfully to the vision of Viksit Bharat and beyond.”

This partnership reaffirms NAMTECH’s commitment to creating a future-ready engineering workforce by embedding deep industry-academic collaboration and driving inclusive growth across India’s diverse regions, especially the Northeast, which holds immense untapped potential in the innovation and technology space.

New Delhi [India], July 17: Not everyone wakes up one day knowing they’re a leader. For many, it’s a journey of self-discovery, and Poornima  Shejal has made it her life’s mission to walk that journey with them.

With more than 19+ years of experience, Poornima has helped people from all walks of life step into their potential — not just by teaching leadership skills, but by helping them truly see themselves as leaders. Whether you’re a first-time manager unsure of your next step, or a senior executive feeling stuck in routine, she helps bring back what we often lose in the rush — Clarity, Confidence, and Purpose.

Her sessions aren’t about bullet points or corporate jargon. They’re about people. People who feel overwhelmed by expectations. People who want to do better, lead better, and feel more in control of their journey.

One of her most loved tools is the Vision & Action Board — something simple, yet incredibly powerful. It helps people visualize where they’re going, why it matters, and what actions will get them there. Participants often say that just creating their board helped them reconnect with goals they’d forgotten or dreams they’d buried under deadlines.

Through her company, BeLeader, Poornima has worked with a wide range of clients — from fast-scaling  startups to global enterprises. But what sets her apart isn’t the brand names on her client list — it’s the personal transformation her sessions ignite. She brings emotional intelligence and authenticity that’s rare in the  leadership  development space. People often describe her sessions as life-shifting, not just skill-building.

Her process — Assess, Design, Coach, Engage, Measure — ensures that no two sessions are the same. Everything she does is customized, thoughtful, and focused on real-life transformation.  Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching or team interventions, the change she brings is visible — better conversations, healthier teams, more decisive leaders, and people who actually enjoy leading again.

And because she believes leadership growth should be accessible to everyone, she has also created an online course for new managers on Udemy, titled “Get Into Your Role Quickly – First Time Manager.” This practical, easy-to-follow resource is designed for anyone navigating their first leadership role.

She also regularly shares insights and reflections through talks, webinars, and panel discussions, making leadership development feel approachable, inclusive, and grounded in real-life experience. Her ability to blend structure with empathy — and strategy with soul — is what makes her approach resonate across diverse industries and leadership levels.

Ask anyone who has worked with her, and you won’t just get feedback — you’ll hear stories. Stories of   professionals who once doubted themselves and now lead with assurance. Teams that once struggled with conflict or low morale and now operate with trust and cohesion.

Leaders who were burning out are now leading with renewed energy and joy. Poornima’s work is a reminder that leadership is not about titles or positions — it’s about impact, intention, and inner alignment. She meets people where they are, and guides them toward where they want to be, often unlocking potential they didn’t know existed. Her calm presence, deep listening, and practical wisdom make her not just a coach but a catalyst. In every session, she plants seeds of clarity and courage that continue to grow long after the training ends. For anyone seeking not just to lead better, but to live better, Poornima Shejal is a guide worth learning from.

In a world that often rushes past the human side of work, Poornima Shejal brings people back to what matters — growth, purpose, and the kind of leadership that starts from within.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], July 16:  ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) today announced the commissioning of a new, state-of-the-art Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL) at its flagship plant in Hazira, Gujarat. This development establishes AM/NS India as the only company in India with a modern CGL line capable of producing Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) with strength levels up to 1180 megapascals (MPa) – essential for exceptional safety, durability, and sustainability for evolving automotive applications.

This commissioning also marks a significant move for the company, which has been strategically implementing an ambitious Rs.60,000-crore expansion project to develop upstream, downstream, and other enabling facilities. Inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022, the expansion project at the integrated steel plant aims at scaling up production capacity across a diverse portfolio of steel grades to meet evolving demands.

The new CGL is equipped with cutting-edge technology derived from the deep global expertise of its parent companies, ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, and is set to bring a paradigm shift to the automotive sector, which has been largely reliant on imports for high-grade, specialised steel. It will manufacture Galvanised (GI) and Galvannealed (GA) coated flat steels, including ArcelorMittal as well as Nippon Steel’s licensed products. These innovative offerings will provide excellent recyclability, high-formability, fuel efficiency through lightweighting, and enhanced safety – key requirements for modern mobility solutions, especially with India’s Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) Phase III norms coming into effect in April 2027.

Highlights:

• New facility engineered to manufacture world-class specialised, high-grade steel for automotive applications, with strength levels up to 1180 MPa; to substitute imports
• Modern unit part of the company’s ambitious Rs.60,000-crore expansion project, inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister
• Matching quality standards of developed nations, indigenously made products to meet both the current and future requirements of ‘New India’

Mr. Dilip Oommen, Chief Executive Officer, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), said, “The commissioning of the first-of-its-kind Continuous Galvanising Line marks another defining moment in our expansion project, inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji. This ambitious project’s efforts are now coming to fruition, and we can proudly say that the new line and upcoming facilities are designed to produce steel that matches the quality of offerings currently available in developed nations. We are committed to providing the best-in-class products that the country needs as it progresses towards a ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’ vision.”

Mr Oommen added, “With the constant support from our parent companies, we have set new benchmarks and further strengthened our ability to deliver world-class products, including the highest-strength steel ever produced in India to meet the evolving needs of the automotive sector. Indigenous production from this unique line will contribute meaningfully towards the country’s self-reliance goal.” 

The latest galvanising unit represents a significant leap in the company’s downstream capabilities to expand value-added products’ portfolio. The CGL will not only strengthen AM/NS India’s contribution to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives but also play a key role in enabling India’s transition to next-generation steel, sustainably. By offering import substitute products, the company is striving to bridge the much-needed gap between domestic demand and high-end steel availability, thus enhancing India’s competitiveness globally. This also aligns with the government’s efforts to encourage domestic production of value-added steel by creating downstream capacities through various initiatives, including the PLI scheme.

Featuring modern environmental technologies, the facility has the ability to considerably reduce CO₂ emissions intensity compared to conventional CGLs, underpinned by innovative waste heat recovery, advanced thermal energy control, regenerative electrical drives, and the use of electrolytic H2, among others. This will support AM/NS India’s adherence to the Green Steel Taxonomy and broader sustainability goals.

The expansion project is progressing well to scale up the company’s production capacity from the current 9 MTPA to 15 MTPA, with a goal of reaching 24 MTPA at its Hazira plant. This includes both upstream and downstream steelmaking capabilities.

Separately, the company will set up an integrated steel plant in Andhra Pradesh where it has already commenced the land acquisition process. Plans are also on track to set up integrated steel plants in Odisha, where the company has a significant presence.

In parallel, the company has sharpened its focus on accelerating the decarbonisation of steelmaking. It is integrating renewables into its energy mix, deploying energy-efficient technologies, and exploring a range of low-carbon pathways in alignment with India’s climate goals.

New Delhi [India], July 15: In 2017, two young men, Animesh Verma and Prakhar Ashok Mahore, met in college. They were not just classmates; they quickly became best friends. Both were from a software background, but what brought them even closer was something beyond studies — a deep and natural love for travel.

College life was full of pressure, exams, and responsibilities, but whenever they had the chance, they would pack their bags and leave for short trips. Whether it was the calm of the hills or the charm of an unexplored village, they found peace and joy in traveling. These weren’t just trips; they were their way of breathing, of dreaming.

As their bond grew stronger, so did a thought in their minds — what if we could do something that makes traveling easier for people like us?

But life had other plans. After college, they went their separate ways. Prakhar went back to his hometown to support his family. Animesh, even with a software background, decided not to join a tech firm. Instead, he took a job in the tour and travel industry because he knew in his heart that travel was what truly excited him.

A Dream That Stayed Alive

While working in the travel company, Animesh learned the inside picture. He saw how the travel sector was still running with outdated systems. Most companies were following old-fashioned methods — taking manual requests, building fixed packages, and offering the same services to every kind of traveler.

There was no personalisation, no emotional connection, and no freedom for the customer to create their own travel experience.

He remembered how, during college trips, he and Prakhar used to struggle with booking hotels, waiting for confirmation calls, and trying to manage everything manually. Those same problems still existed.

One night, frustrated yet hopeful, Animesh called Prakhar.

He said, “It’s time to build what we once dreamed of. Let’s do it together.”

And that single phone call brought the two friends back together — not as students, but as co-founders ready to make a difference.

The Birth of Map My Tour

They started from scratch — no office, no team, and no outside funding. What they had was a clear vision and unshakable passion. They wanted to create a platform where every traveller could feel empowered, independent, and in control of their journey.

After days of brainstorming, they came up with the name “Map My Tour.”

Simple. Memorable. Direct.

It wasn’t just a name; it was a message: “This is your journey. You map it. You design it.”

They wanted to give power back to the traveler — to map their tour, the way they want, with full freedom and flexibility.

The Platform With a Purpose

Map My Tour is not like traditional travel websites. It is fully automated and customer-friendly. The primary objective is to eliminate intermediaries and grant users complete control. Instead of waiting for a travel agent to build a package, customers can now design their own travel experience from start to finish.

On the website, users can choose:

• Destination
• Dates
• Budget
• Travel class (luxury, budget, or economical)
• Number of days
• Activities

And with the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence), the system generates a day-wise itinerary instantly.

It is not just smart; it’s personal. Every plan is tailored to the user based on their interests, comfort, and budget.

Customers can also choose from ready-made packages or modify them to suit their own needs. The process is smooth, transparent, and quick.

More Than Just Booking – A Whole Ecosystem

Map My Tour is not just a website for booking hotels, flights, and cabs. It is a complete digital travel ecosystem.

Each customer receives their login with a wallet system, where they can store money, earn cashback, interest, and pay later through EMI if needed. The Map My Wallet is an innovative and secure way to manage your travel budget.

There’s also a unique social feature. Customers can post where they are going, and others can join them. It’s a community-driven travel feed. If you upload your travel pictures or videos, and others like or share them, you can earn real money in your wallet. The more you share, the more you earn.

Another interesting feature is the travel savings program. If someone deposits ₹ 1,000 every month for 10 months, they receive a ₹12,000 travel voucher. It’s a simple, rewarding way to save for your next adventure.

Map My Tour for Businesses

The platform is not just built for travelers. It also supports hotels, drivers, guides, and travel agents. With special dashboards like Map My Vendor and Map My Agent, they can manage bookings, talk to customers, and grow their businesses without needing to hire a technical team.

This makes it easy for small businesses to join the digital travel world.

The Challenge of Competing With Giants

MakeMyTrip, Thomas Cook, and other big names dominate the travel industry in India. They have huge budgets, large teams, and national recognition. But Animesh and Prakhar didn’t try to copy them. They chose to do something different.

• They focused on people, not just packages.
• They focused on emotions instead of just systems.
• And they focused on personal travel experiences instead of mass-market products.
• That’s what makes Map My Tour stand out. It’s built with heart, not just code.

The Promise of Map My Tour

Animesh and Prakhar created Map My Tour with one belief:

Travel is not a transaction. It’s a transformation.

Every journey has a story. Every trip changes us in some way. And every traveller deserves to have a trip that is their own, designed by them, not forced upon them.

The company’s tagline — Travel 

World with Class — means that no matter your budget, you can experience travel in a stylish, smooth, and satisfying way. Travel doesn’t have to be expensive to be special. And luxury doesn’t mean spending more — it means feeling cared for, valued, and comfortable.

Where It’s Going

Today, Map My Tour is experiencing rapid growth. New features are coming soon — including advanced AI planning, real-time chat with fellow travellers, loyalty rewards, and offline franchise models.

But no matter how much it grows, one thing will never change — its soul.

Map My Tour will always be a place for dreamers, planners, backpackers, families, and storytellers. A place where travel is made personal again.

So, whether you are booking your first solo trip or planning a grand family tour, Map My Tour welcomes you.

Visit www.mapmytour.in to explore the features and begin your own story. Because here, you are not just a customer.

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 16: A groundbreaking advancement in the treatment of blood disorders has emerged from Advanced Homoeo Health Center and Homeopathic Medical Research Pvt. Ltd., located at Geeta Bhawan, Indore. Under the leadership of Dr. A.K. Dwivedi, a senior homeopathic physician, member of the Scientific Advisory Board (CCRH), Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, and Executive Council Member at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore, a revolutionary approach in homeopathy is offering renewed hope for patients battling rare and life-threatening conditions like Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), Aplastic Anemia, and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).

A compelling success story has captured medical attention: 7-year-old Ayushmann Singh from Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, was diagnosed with severe ITP, with platelet levels critically low at just 8,000. After undergoing 12 months of continuous and evidence-based homeopathic treatment using advanced 50 millesimal potency, Ayushmann’s platelet count dramatically increased to 2.3 lakhs, allowing him to return to a normal life—attending school, playing with friends, and enjoying a healthy childhood once again.

“This is more than a medical case—it is a message of hope,” said Dr. Dwivedi. “In immune thrombocytopenia, the body’s own immune system destroys its platelets. Our specialized approach in homeopathy offers not only symptom relief but addresses the patient’s complete physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.”

Conventional treatments for ITP, such as long-term steroid use, immunoglobulins, or bone marrow transplants, often come with limited efficacy and severe side effects. In contrast, Dr. Dwivedi’s patient-centered and scientifically grounded homeopathic protocols present a low-risk and sustainable alternative, especially in chronic and difficult-to-treat conditions.

Widely acclaimed as “Hope for the Bloodless”, Dr. Dwivedi is known for his pioneering work in treating aplastic anemia and promoting anemia awareness through homeopathy. His efforts are inspiring growing interest in integrating homeopathy into mainstream healthcare conversations, especially for conditions with limited conventional solutions.

The case of young Ayushmann has become a beacon for families seeking effective and gentle treatment paths, underscoring the potential of homeopathy not as an alternative, but as a serious and scientifically validated medical choice.
