Junagadh (Gujarat) [India], February 6: Usha Breco Foundation, the CSR arm of Usha Breco, the pioneer of passenger ropeways in India, organised a tourist guide training programme in Junagadh in association with the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat and the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Junagadh.

Organised from February 1 to 3, the training programme was aimed at generating employment at the local level by up-skilling the local tourist guides and equipping them with better information and knowledge and improved soft skills.

“The idea was to ensure local guides can explain the rich history, culture and heritage of Junagadh in an interesting way to tourists through storytelling and ensure tourists return home with a great tourist experience and happy memories,” said Deepak Kaplish, assistant vice president of Usha Breco.

“Junagadh is considered the tourism capital of Gujarat. The number of tourists has gone up, especially since the commencement of the Girnar ropeway in October 2020. The government of Gujarat is keen to promote tourism and has undertaken several initiatives for the same. We too want to be a partner and contribute to the growth of tourism. The tourist guide training programme is a small step in that direction,” said Mr. Kaplish further, adding the foundation also plans to conduct similar training programmes in other tourist destinations and generate employment opportunities for the community around its ropeway projects.

The tourist guide training programme will go a long way in improving the tourist experience and help in placing Junagadh on the global tourism map. Usha Breco, the largest ropeway company in India, has invested Rs. 130 crores in setting up a world-class and one of the longest ropeways in the country in Girnar, as a part of its efforts to give a boost to tourism in the area.

Thirty-five local tourist guides were trained by former official of Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Kirti Thakar, range forest officer (south range) of Junagadh Arvind Bhaliya, professor and historian Vishal Joshi, Shefali Awasthi of Junagadh Museum, senior tourist guide Navjot Vyas, senior life skill trainer Himendra Purohit, Samarth Inamdar of archaeology department, and Prof Chauhan of Narsinh Mehta University.

Research scientist and avid traveller Dr. John Wainer from Melbourne also shared his experiences on Girnar and other monuments of Junagadh with the participants.

Sub-divisional magistrate Bhoomi Keshwala and District Youth Development Officer ND Wala gave training certificates to the participants.

The guides were also taken to various tourist places in Junagadh for practical training. Popular folk singer Kirtidan Gadhvi paid a surprise visit to the guides during the programme.

~ Reiterating the significance of maintaining personal and public hygiene under the Achhi Aadat Campaign ~

 New Delhi (India), February 6:  Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) celebrated National Cleanliness Day with children at the Bal Bharati Public School, Dwarka, New Delhi, today, with the campaign implementing partner IJ Kakehashi Services Private Limited (IJK). The aim is to promote healthy hygiene and cleanliness practices under JICA’s Achhi Aadat Campaign (AAC) and reiterate the importance of maintaining high standards of cleanliness in homes, workplaces, and public places.

The event began with an interactive session which highlighted the importance of washing hands with soap and maintaining nail hygiene followed by a round of questions to the students. They also learned the appropriate method of washing hands using SATO Taps (portable handwashing stations).

A physical session on the significance of handwashing was conducted and also attended virtually by the famous Japanese character Hello Kitty, as a surprise engagement session with the students. They also participated in a drawing competition on the theme of “Hand Hygiene Habits for Health”. With the aim of ensuring continued access to cleanliness and hygiene knowledge, JICA handed over IEC (Information, Education and Communication) materials and hygiene products such as SATO Taps and soaps to the school authorities for distribution among the students.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. SAITO Mitsunori, Chief Representative, JICA India said, “We believe that handwashing and personal hygiene are integral pillars for ensuring cleanliness across the country. For the last two years, through this Achhi Aadat Campaign, JICA India has strived to foster habits of cleanliness and sanitation among children. By celebrating National Cleanliness Day with the same theme, our focus is on reinforcing the integral message of cleanliness among these young minds, who hold the potential to shape the future of the nation.”

JICA celebrated National Cleanliness Day with school children as they serve as the key stakeholders in the rolling out of various activities under AAC and tend to be the driving force for bringing change for cleanliness at schools, homes as well as communities.

In 2021, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) launched the Achhi Aadat Campaign to spread various hygiene practices among the population of India. Amid the COVID 19 pandemic, the campaign encouraged consistent and appropriate handwashing techniques, nail cleaning, and other hygiene practices.

In continuation, JICA in partnership with its project implementing partner IJ Kakehashi Services Private Limited, collaborates with the Government of NCT of Delhi, and private Japanese companies, NGOs, to promote awareness among the people of India.

Established by a specific law, as an incorporated administrative institution under the Government of Japan, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) aims to contribute to the promotion of international cooperation, as the sole Japanese governmental agency in charge of ODA implementation. JICA is the world’s largest bilateral donor agency and works as a bridge between Japan and emerging countries, providing assistance in the form of loans, grants, and technical cooperation, to enable the emerging countries to strengthen their capabilities.

The footprints of “Achhi Aadat (Good Habits Campaign) -a JICA India initiative; in the Deoghar district of Jharkhand

Deoghar (Jharkhand) [India], February 6: The provision of a clean and safe environment to its citizens should be the mandate of any Government. One of the key motives of Achhi Aadat Campaign (AAC), a JICA India initiative and IJ Kakehashi Services Pvt. Ltd. (IJK), is to attain the above objective and thus designed to contribute to provide a clean and hygienic environment to its targeted beneficiaries through dissemination of knowledge in a strategic manner.

As per SDG India Index 2.0, Jharkhand scores one of the lowest in SDG Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) Index score, with respect to other States/UTs. Further, the State Government acknowledges the fact that “In Jharkhand entire population does not have access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Rural sanitation coverage is very low. About 30% of habitations have partial facility with drinking water (source: Official website of the State Government (https://www.jharkhand.gov.in/drinking-water)

In view of the above facts, the Achhi Aadat Campaign 2022, has marked its presence in some pockets of Deoghar district, Jharkhand State through meaningful interventions of awareness and knowledge enhancement of the rural communities and school students. This initiative was supported by Nihon Suido Consultants Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese engineering consulting firm in the water sector.

The interventions were implemented with the support of a local NGO, Chetna Vikas which has an esteemed presence in Deoghar district of Jharkhand State for many years and has meaningfully contributed in the improvement of the sanitation conditions in the district. The NGO has conducted educational sessions with the school children on the importance of hygiene especially that of handwashing with soap and nail hygiene. It was exhibited through a puppet show, handwashing demonstration, etc. The NGO has also engaged with the school children through holding painting competition on the importance of hygiene and other sanitation practices.

In this matter, Mr. Sourabh Bhatacharjee, Head of Operations, Social Development Projects IJK quoted, while narrating about his observations during his field visit to Deoghar- “Exemplifying from a local context always helps in a better penetration of the key messages of any social intervention. In the course of disseminating the importance of handwashing with soap, the NGO officials had highlighted the stunted conditions of the children in the village due to lack of hygiene conditions of the pregnant mothers in the village. This example was an attempt to ensure the contemplation stage of the Behavior Change Communication process amongst the beneficiaries. Positioning of the AAC messages and their presentation amidst the mixed populace was really praiseworthy.”

On a concluding note, the blend of communication activities at the community level along with the school going children pertaining to the messaging of handwashing with soap and nail hygiene in Deoghar proved to be a welcome step towards achieving the hygienic and clean society.

Cool tips from Dr. Navin Jayakumar

Dr. Navin Jayakumar is an ophthalmologist by profession and has recently been elected as the President of Indian Neuro-Ophthalmologist Society. A quizmaster by passion, he is the founding member of The Quiz Foundation of India. Dr. Jayakumar has been the quizmaster for famous national-level quizzes, such as the Landmark Quiz, the Murugappa Madras Quotient School Quiz and the Rotary Galaxy Science and Technology Quiz among others. Here are his suggestions.

Read, record, recall: The reputed quizmaster Neil O’Brien (considered as the Father of Indian Quizzing) described this trio of acts as his method of becoming a successful quizzer. I’ll add one more step to these: REVISE. It comes right after RECORD. So, this is how one should go about it: READ a lot and read widely, RECORD the interesting facts that you read in a notebook, REVISE what you wrote before a quiz and finally RECALL the fact during a quiz!

Invest time in lateral thinking: Make connections between seemingly unconnected facts. For example, certain plant seeds and Velcro. If one reads about plant burrs (little seeds with hooks that can attach to your clothes to help the seed find a new home), one may soon discover that it was the inspiration behind the invention of Velcro!

Be a part of quiz clubs: Quiz clubs, be it at school or outside, are a great way not just to improve one’s quizzing knowledge but also to make friends. For instance, the Quiz Foundation of India in Chennai to which I belong, meets on alternate Sundays when one member will set a quiz and the others form teams to answer. If there is no quiz club around you, start one!

Focus on practice: Try out the innumerable online quizzes available, watch quiz contest recordings on YouTube, and take part in every quiz competition that you hear about. For seasoned quizzers, one would recommend joining an online quiz league. Remember to always play fair and not use Google for answers. Similarly, stay true to your passion for quizzing and do not use an accomplice to feed you answers while taking part in an online quiz game. Quizzing is sport and any sport requires sportsmanship and fair play!

Try being a quizmaster: One of the best ways to excel in a subject is to prepare questions on it for a quiz. Quizmasters have to dive deep into a subject and explore all its ramifications to make a good set of questions and then try their hands at conducting quizzes.

Smart suggestions from Mr. Avinash Mudaliar

Mr. Avinash Mudaliar is a distinguished quizmaster with years of quiz hosting experience. He has been the quizmaster for the Power of Ideas Print Quiz, Airtel Quiz-o-Mania, Airtel’s techQ, and  the NTPC Electron Quiz to name a few. He has also hosted quizzes for major

corporates and prestigious institutions. Previously, he has also co-hosted the ClassAct 2022: The Hindustan Times Republic Day Quiz and Smartacus 2022: The Hindustan Times National Interschool Quiz with Dr. Jayakumar. Here are his top tips.

Train hard, fight easy: Read, read, and then read some more. Get into the habit of intensive daily reading while gleaning through knowledge and the happenings around the world. Sooner or later, everything lands up as a quiz question! Even if it doesn’t, you still know a little bit more than you did the previous day.

If it’s a good day, make it a great one: Some days you will unearth a rare nugget of information or a precious new fact that most people are unaware of. Don’t remain satisfied with that discovery. Try and learn five or ten other related things about what you discovered. In quizzing, like in cricket, it is always the ‘extras’ that matter in the end!

Interact with other quizzers: Be a part of an active quiz community, group, club, or society that meets regularly and quizzes together with gusto. It is only by interacting with like- minded knowledge hunters that your own skills will develop, grow, and become sharper.

Remember, those who quiz together, grow together.

Practise making quiz questions: Quite often, the best way to become a better quizzer is to get into the habit of making quiz questions of your own. Be it your class in school, or your circle of friends and family, develop the habit of converting what you know into interesting quiz questions that you can ask. The very act of stepping into the quizmaster’s shoes helps you understand the myriad ways in which a simple fact can become a tantalising quiz question!

Focus on match practice: Get into the habit of participating in as many quizzes as you can, at as many levels as you can, and as often as you can. All the reading and knowledge- gathering in the world is useless as a quizzer unless you test your mettle in the heat of battle by crossing swords with ot.her quiz-loving buffs like yourself. Only when you come up against a variety of quiz-mastering styles and a variety of quizzing oppositions that you truly realise how good (or not-so-good!) you really are. And remember, it does not matter whether you win or lose. If you win, you remember those answers only once. But if you lose once because of a bad answer or two, you will never forget those facts till the end of time!

The campaign features Mr. Pandya as a regal Indian maharaja with a noble appearance, dressed in a traditional champagne gold sherwani with both hands on the hilt of a Japanese katana(sword). The campaign has received quite an overwhelming response on social media with many lauding the rich storytelling and the witty amalgamation of two rich cultures – India and Japan.

Sharing his inspiration behind the concept Mr. Pandya said, “This campaign expresses my passion for KAI and shows that KAI’s blades have become an integral part of Indian households. KAI razors which are made with state-of-the-art Japanese technology, are gentle enough to be used on your skin, to the brand’s signature kitchen knives that are sharp, durable, and sturdy; this campaign shows how KAI is there to add value to your daily needs.”

“The other message the ad campaign communicates is that the kitchen is not the exclusive domain of women. Many more men are involved in cooking, especially since the COVID pandemic.

KAI India has launched several innovative and breakthrough products in the Indian market and has carved out a niche for itself in the hearts of customers.

“It is easier for consumers to accept advertisements which are rich in storytelling and a sense of familiarity in which company’s top executives play a vital role for the brand. We believe Mr. Pandya to be the perfect representative of the essence of the brand and his passion for the brand cannot be paralleled,” said Hitesh Singla, Head of Marketing at KAI India.

KAI India recently introduced the Pretty Face Razor, a one-of-a-kind razor, exclusively made for girls with sensitive skin types. It also launched the X-FIT Razor, India’s 1^stfive blade razor for women designed to get rid of unwanted hair in the comfort of their homes.

As an avid traveller, Mr. Pandya has traveled to over 40 countries helping him develop a deep understanding of different cultures and people from various walks of life.

New Delhi (India), February 4: World Cancer Day is observed worldwide on February 4 every year. It is a global initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) for a cancer-free world. This year’s World Cancer Day theme, “Close the Care Gap”, is all about celebrating progress in its many forms that enable more people to seek and receive the care they need and deserve. Here are some of the best oncologists sharing suggestions on cancer.

Dr. Jojo V Joseph, MS (Surgery), MCh (Oncosurgery), Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist, Caritas Cancer Institute Kottayam Indiragadhi co-op Hospital, Kochi

Cancer does not mean that life has come to an end. Cancer is just like any other challenge we face in our lives, and we must never give up on it. Making everyone aware of cancer is the first step toward ridding the world of it. This year’s theme is “Close the Care Gap” in cancer care, which is about understanding the inequities in cancer care and taking action to make the necessary progress to address them. On this World Cancer Day, let’s promise to never surrender or let everyone else surrender to the disease.

Dr. Satvik Khaddar, MD, DM Medical Oncology, Consultant Medical Oncologist, Indore

On the occasion of World Cancer Day, I would like to remind everyone that early detection is key to successful treatment and recovery. I advise everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of cancer and to schedule regular check-ups with their healthcare provider. It is also important to make lifestyle choices that can reduce the risk of cancer, such as maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen, not smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. In short, cancer is preventable and beatable, and by being proactive about our health and making informed choices, we can reduce the impact of cancer on our lives and those around us.

Dr. Gunjesh Kumar Singh, MBBS, MD, DM Medical Oncology (Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai), ESMO Certified Medical Oncologist, Consultant & HOD-Bhagwaan Mahavir Medica Super Speciality Hospital, Jharkhand

Today on World Cancer Day, let’s come together to raise awareness and educate ourselves on the ways we can prevent and fight this disease. As a doctor, I see the impact of cancer on individuals and families every day, but I also see the strength and resilience of those who have overcome it. Making small, healthy choices in our daily lives can have a big impact on reducing our risk. Let’s prioritize our health, get regular check-ups, and support each other on this journey towards a cancer-free world. Together, we can make a difference.

Dr. Shivakumar Uppala, MBBS, MS, MCH (Surgical Oncology), FAIS, FMAS, Consultant Surgical, Oncologist & Medical Director – Trust in Hospital and Norgh Hospital, Bangalore

Cancer is a growing phenomenon, and everyone should be vigilant about the symptoms of cancer in general. The most common symptoms are loss of weight, loss of appetite, generalized weakness, back pain, and difficulty breathing. Breast lump, nipple discharge, rectum bleeding, change in bowel and bladder functions, blood in the sputum, difficulty swallowing, inability to open the mouth, mouth ulcer, bleeding after intercourse, and a variety of other common symptoms.

If any of these symptoms occur, consult with an oncologist immediately. We have made a lot of advances in treatment with the availability of laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, newer chemotherapy agents, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy and most cancers can be cured if detected at an early stage.

World Cancer Day is commemorated on February 4 to make people aware of this dreaded disease, its detection, and its prevention. Despite the vast advancements in cancer care, many are denied primary health care based on multiple factors, such as gender discrimination – even men hesitate to take treatment for prostate & penile cancers.

There are different approaches for reducing the inequity in healthcare services: strengthening community-based primary healthcare, public education, sensitization about cancer prevention and its treatment, making services available at affordable rates, government sector maximizing their reach to the poor and underprivileged. We will achieve health equity when every person has reached their full health potential without barriers or limitations created by social position or other socially or commercially determined circumstances.

World Cancer Day is celebrated on 4 Feb every year to create awareness among the public regarding this deadly disease and also educate them regarding diagnosis, prevention and care. Triennially, a new theme is proposed- and the theme for 2022-24 is “Close the care gap”. It has been observed that in a vast country like India, there is inequality in the provision of care based on sociodemographic conditions. Hence, it is imperative to break the barriers of location, and socioeconomic status and close the “gap”. Let us aim to unite our voices and take action. Let us take a pledge this year that we will educate our near and dear ones regarding the adoption of healthy lifestyle practices, screening, early diagnosis and different modes of treatment. We should contribute in every possible way to fight this deadly disease and make its treatment available to each and every person!

Dr. P Vijay Karan Reddy, MD RT, FUICC (US), FAROI (US), FUICC (UK), ESMO (MED ONC), AMPH  Consultant Oncologist – Apollo Cancer Institute, Hyderabad

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, and about 10 to 12 lakh cases are diagnosed every year in India. Every year, February 4th gives us a chance to spread awareness about its prevention and early detection. This year’s theme is “unifying our voices and taking action to close the care gap.” It’s a plea for us to raise our voices against cancer.

Your “part” in this battle could be anything from promising to eat healthy, stopping smoking, exercising daily, educating others about cancer, etc. We should pledge to do the same against cancer, to not only protect ourselves from cancer but to do the same for our family, friends, and community. As a community, we should also strive to close the access gap for cancer care.

Dr. Chinna Babu, Clinical Director & Surgical Oncologist- Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad

Today, we have an opportunity for everyone to work together to defeat this disease. To eliminate the inequity and gender bias of this disease, we must be informed and embrace preventive strategies. Prevent the preventable! It is high time we eradicate cervical cancer! Even as we have highly effective vaccines available. A simple vaccination is highly protective! We all must raise awareness and focus on early detection through a thorough screening. We must reduce cancer care disparities between urban and rural areas, between rich and poor people, and between haves and have-nots. Let us close the care gap in cancer and conquer it. Let us all celebrate life, spread awareness, and hope that cancer can be conquered.

Renowned Diamond Baron, Visionary, Industrialist, and Humanitarian, Shri Govind Dholakia sounds stimulating when he says “Our Company has been made into a Family; We haven’t made our Family into a Company!”

Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 4: Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (SRK), a global leader in the world of diamonds is the Most Respected Family Business of the Year as per 2022 HURUN Report Global.  Shri Govindkaka (as he is more popularly and affectionately known), the Founder-Chairman of SRK was bestowed with the recognition on behalf of the company by Mr. Rupert Hoogewerf (Global Chairman of Hurun Report) to honour his long and illustrious contribution.

The 10^th edition of the ‘HURUN Most Respected Entrepreneurs Awards and Gala Dinner’ which was organised on Thursday, 2^nd February at Taj Lands End, Mumbai was graced by various dignitaries like Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla (Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group) as the Keynote Speaker, Shri Ashwin Dani (Non-Executive Chairman of Asian Paints), Shri Nadir Godrej (MD of Godrej Industries), Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla (Chairman and MD of Cyrus Poonawalla Group) amongst others. Some of the previous recipients of other Hurun awards include Shri Adi Godrej, Dr. Cyrus S. Poonawalla, Shri Nithin Kamath, Shri Kris Gopalakrishnan, and so on to name a few.

Hurun Report is the world’s leading entrepreneurship platform focused on promoting some of the most amazing stories of entrepreneurship in India and China. Established in 1999, Hurun Report has since expanded to many cities around the world. Being recognised by Hurun Report Global is an honour in itself, as only a few are able to make to the list. These special honourees are distinguished based on their significant and enduring work for the growth in their fields, their contributions towards the society and the impact they have had on their industries.

SRK, throughout its journey of six decades has been very well known in the gems and jewellery industry and beyond not only for its diamonds and leadership in sustainability practices, but also for its workplace culture and ethics which upholds family-like values and feelings. The company not only addresses its people as “family members” and never as “employees”, but also takes all its decisions keeping in mind the well-being of its people.  Reportedly, during the recession of 2008 and the pandemic of 2020, not a single person was laid off from SRK and everyone was given their regular salary. Though being a family-business, never is there a complain of nepotism received, because even the family of the management team have to undergo training to grow to their positions of responsibility. “We don’t recruit employees; we recruit family members who will go the extra mile for the firm, as we go the extra mile for them”, added a spokesperson from SRK.

Shri Govindkaka during his speech at the event added, “We don’t believe in life insurance policy, because for us, our family is our life insurance.”
