Kochi (Kerala) [India], September 1: Sujata Appliances, a leading brand in durable and high-performance kitchen solutions for more than 45 years, has launched a new campaign to celebrate the occasion of Onam. The campaign ‘Be the family to someone’ communicates a thought-provoking message that fosters the essence of community, family, and tradition.

Encouraging unity and abundance, through the narrative, the brand rejoices in the spirit of togetherness, where children from an orphanage and elders in an old age home find peace and family in each other. The film is an expression of sheer kindness and connection, weaving emotional storytelling with the traditional celebration of Onam. As the No. 1 brand in the South, it was a conscious decision to roll out the campaign that perfectly captured the theme of the festival while allowing seamless brand integration and sending across a meaningful message.

The story set against the backdrop of an old-age home showcases preparations for the festival, where the elders are excited to invite their family members for the occasion. The surprise comes in the end when one of the women welcomes orphans as her own children were far away, making it difficult for them to come. Building on trust and meaningful connections, the brand subtly touches upon the sensitive issue of society, where many people are lonely or away from their families.

Speaking on the occasion, Fagun Mittal, Management at Sujata Appliances, Marketing & Strategy, said, “The campaign ‘Be the family to someone’ is very close to our heart. Working as a responsible company, we wanted to instil a sense of inclusivity and togetherness among the audience. Considering that Onam is a festival of harvest and abundance, holding communal significance marked by sharing a meal, i.e., Sadya, with family, friends, and even strangers, it resonated with the purpose of the campaign beautifully.”

Furthermore, aligning with the festive fervor, the brand has also rolled out an Onam offer valid from 15th July to 30th September. Along with this, there is an additional warranty of 7 years on the mixer grinder motor apart from the standard warranty. Sujata Appliances is a pioneer in juicers, mixers, and grinders and is making significant strides in expanding the range of products. As part of the plan, it has ventured into new appliances like toasters, grills, electric irons, electric kettles, slow juicers, etc.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 1: The question is no longer if Artificial Intelligence will transform education, but how. That was the consensus from a insightful seminar on Artificial Intelligence in Kolkata, where educators, edupreneurs, and UN officials issued a compelling call to action: embrace AI boldly and ethically or risk being left behind.

The event, “Future of Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” hosted at the ITC Royal Bengal by Muskaan in collaboration with Education for All Trust, WFUNA Foundation and United Nations India, moved beyond theoretical debate to deliver a urgent, real-world blueprint for integrating AI into India’s learning landscape.

Ms Sumitra Ray, Student Programme Advisor, Muskaan, set the ball rolling with her welcome address. Setting the international stage, Darrin Farrant, Director of the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), announced two landmark UN initiatives for global cooperation on AI governance. First, the establishment of the UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and second, the global dialogue on AI governance. “India, home to one-sixth of humanity, will be a key player in this journey,” Farrant said. “We must harness AI’s benefits not with fear, but with foresight, ethics, and inclusivity.”

The panelists delivered a stark and inspiring vision of the future of the new classroom reality – from the chalkboards to algorithms.

Navjot Mallika Kaur, Director of Epiq Capital, pointed to a reality already in motion abroad. “Around 2,000 schools in China have fully adopted AI—they’re using it to make children future-ready. That’s not a trend; it’s a reality we must embrace,” she urged, challenging the audience. “AI is our assistant. We remain the masters. It’s a tool to sharpen our capacities, irrespective of age. Teachers must become friends with technology instead of being scared of it or tinkering only with the basics.”

This sentiment was echoed by Samyak Chakrabarty, founder of Workverse, who saw immense potential in Bengal’s legacy. “This city already offers unparalleled creativity and intellectual fearlessness. Imagine combining that with the computing power of AI—the outcomes can be extraordinary.”

While the potential of AI was clear, the panel agreed that the human element is more crucial than ever. Bizongo co-founder Aniket Deb offered a powerful metaphor: “Even with Google Maps, we still need to set the start and end points. Education is first about survival, then thriving. Humanity has always adapted, and new jobs will replace old ones.”

Deb, who co-founded Bizongo in 2015 inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s `Make in India’ initiative, his advice to students was direct: “The ability to choose will define the future. That means making conscious choices about what to learn and even which AI tool to use for which purpose. That critical thinking is your superpower.”

Arjun Vaidya, founder of Dr. Vaidya’s, drove the point home by questioning the very foundation of traditional learning. “I used to paste dates on my wall. Now, they’re at our fingertips. What matters now isn’t memorization, but understanding the context—the ‘why’ and ‘how’ that shaped our world.”

The seminar concluded that the transformation is inevitable. The role of educators is not to resist but to guide, evolving from knowledge providers to mentors of critical thinking and ethical technology use. The future of education isn’t about humans versus machines; it’s about humans empowered by machines. Students and teachers from Don Bosco School (Park Circus), The BSS School, and others attended the seminar.

The Muskaan series by Prabha Khaitan Foundation seeks to popularize heritage literature and culture among young children across India, by integrating these aspects into formal education and cultural engagements through creative events and activities. Education for All Trust supports access to schooling for children from marginalized communities, focusing on removing obstacles to education in remote and underprivileged areas through scholarships, resources, and support systems.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 1: Davangere Sugar Company Limited (DSCL) (NSE: DAVANGERE, BSE: 543267) is gearing up for a transformative phase of growth, leveraging a favourable government policy, rising ethanol demand, and deep-rooted farmer partnerships as India accelerates its transition toward cleaner fuels and rural industrialisation.

DSCL – a five-decade old company based in Karnataka, has emerged as a fully integrated played in sugar, ethanol and renewable energy. It is uniquely placed to take advantage of India’s evolving bioeconomy through well charted strategy that involves capacity expansion, diversified feedstock procurement, and robust farmer engagement.

Strategic Capacity Expansion in Ethanol and CO₂ Recovery

DSCL’s current growth strategy is anchored in the rapid expansion of its ethanol production capacity, supported by India’s Ethanol Blending Program (EBP) and the government’s strong policy thrust towards cleaner fuels. With the EBP gaining momentum, DSCL is set to increase its current 65 KLPD (kilo litres per day) ethanol capacity to 85 KLPD within FY26, with a further expansion plan to reach 110 KLPD, coupled with a 35 TPD CO₂ recovery plant in the pipeline.

These investments align DSCL with the government’s ethanolpolicy and roadmap, provide additional revenue streams to the company. 

Ensuring consistent feedstock supply and year-round production, the company plans to diversify procurement by tapping into broken rice and maize, allowing it to not only meet its own raw materialrequirements. But also focus on grain trading vertical—a strategic move aimed at unlocking fresh revenue streams.

Empowering Farmers, Boosting Cane Acreage

In a bid to strengthen its supply chain and deepen rural engagement, DSCL is also launching a major push in sugarcane cultivation. The company aims to expand cultivation by 15,000 acres this year alone.

Key to this strategy is a package of farmer-centric initiatives:

• Mechanised harvesting systems to reduce labour costs and improve farm productivity.
• Organised cane transport solutions to streamline logistics and ensure timely supply.
• Subsidies and performance-linked incentives to reward farmers and boost incomes.

These efforts are projected to help DSCL surpass 5 lakh metric tonnes of sugarcane crushing consistently in the coming years, creating a multiplier effect across its sugar, ethanol, and power businesses.

Mr. Ganesh Shivashankarappa Shamanur, Chairman & Managing Director of Davangere Sugar Company Limited expressed, “Davangere Sugar is at a turning point in its growth journey. With expansions in ethanol, aggressive grain procurement, increased cane cultivation, and farmer-friendly initiatives, we are creating a robust growth model that strengthens revenues, profitability, and long-term shareholder value.

The company’s zero-waste, fully integrated operations ensure every input—from sugarcane to grain—is utilised optimally, contributing to both environmental sustainability and rural prosperity.”

Well-Positioned in a Transforming Energy Landscape

As India intensifies its push toward energy self-reliance and green fuel adoption, DSCL’s diversification into ethanol and renewables aligns with national priorities. With favourable policy tailwinds and rising demand, especially in the biofuel segment, DSCL is strategically placed to capitalise on new market opportunities while reinforcing its commitment to rural development and environmental responsibility.

New Delhi [India], August 30:  ChargeZone®, India’s largest EV charging network, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the State Bank of India (SBI) under the EV Mitra scheme in a significant step toward building the backbone of the country’s electric mobility infrastructure. This strategic partnership is aimed at empowering individuals, businesses, and institutions to set up EV charging stations through streamlined financing support for infrastructure development under ChargeZone’s popular DoCo (Dealer Owned, Company Operated) offerings.

As part of the scheme, loans ranging from ₹10 lakhs to ₹10 crores will be offered, with flexible repayment options of up to 7 years. The financing will be extended under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), allowing eligible borrowers to access funding with minimal collateral requirements.

As India accelerates toward its goal of 30% electric vehicle adoption by 2030, the demand for robust, accessible charging infrastructure continues to surge. While the sector has already attracted over USD 450 million in EV charging infrastructure investments, financing remains a key bottleneck for many prospective developers. Public charging stations have grown from around 5,151 in 2022 to over 26,367 by early 2025, a fivefold increase in just three years, reflecting a 72% CAGR. The partnership between ChargeZone® and SBI is designed to close the financing gap and support this growth by making capital more accessible to the next generation of infrastructure builders.

Mr Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone®, added, “The biggest unlock in India’s EV transition will come from removing barriers of mindset, access, and infrastructure. This partnership with SBI does exactly that. It empowers everyday entrepreneurs, institutions, and businesses to participate in building the EV ecosystem with ease and confidence. We’ve always believed that technology alone isn’t enough; it must be supported by accessibility and affordability. Combining ChargeZone’s technological capabilities and meticulous execution, as well as  SBI’s support, we’re not just powering vehicles, we’re enabling new businesses, creating jobs, and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility.”

Under the EV Mitra scheme, ChargeZone will offer its popular DOCO (Dealer Owned, Company Operated) program to set up EV charging stations with Indian residents & enterprises under the co-investment (full/partial) model too.  Today, even for a land owner/restaurant owner-operator or a logistics operator or a young entrepreneur looking to start an EV charging business, the program simplifies the financing journey, backed by ChargeZone®’s integrated tech, operations, and nationwide network. The move is aligned with ChargeZone®’s mission of deploying one million charging points across India and strengthening the EV ecosystem through localised infrastructure development. With a network of over 13,500 charging points across 1,200 locations, ChargeZone® is building critical infrastructure where it’s needed most, from highways and city centres to emerging intercity corridors, while enabling new stakeholders to participate in the EV ecosystem.
