Having spent a considerable part of her life in Delhi and Chandigarh, this homecoming tour is more than just a series of performances—it is a tribute to the honour the legacy of her grandparents – her grandfather, Dewan Baldev Raj Sahni, owned acres of farm land that he cultivated and distributed the produce across Northern India, while her grandmother, Shiv Kumari Sahni taught knitting and sewing to women in a government school. Both were deeply patriotic and committed to promoting local art, culture, and agriculture from the grassroots.

It’s not just about comedy—it’s about reconnecting with my roots, honouring my grandparents’ legacy, and sharing laughter with audiences that understand the pulse of my humour.”

With a dynamic 2025 ahead, including multiple performances across India, Sharul Channa is all set to leave audiences in splits while delivering comedy with depth and meaning.
Sharul Channa is Singapore’s only full-time female stand-up comedian, with over 12 years of experience in the industry.

Her humour, rooted in real-life experiences, resonates with diverse audiences globally.
A powerhouse performer, Sharul has graced some of the world’s most prestigious comedy festivals, including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Singapore Comedy Fringe.

New Delhi [India], February 11: Industry expert and motivational speaker known for promoting peace and positivity, Sanjeev Kwatra recently shared his profound insights on the economy, budget, and social structure. According to him, wealth should be regarded as a means to an end rather than the ultimate goal of life. His perspective is clear—if financial prosperity becomes the sole objective, it can disrupt the fundamental social framework and distort our priorities.
Budgeting for Holistic Development
Sanjeev Kwatra emphasizes that while formulating a budget, it is crucial to ensure that it serves the holistic development of society. Allocating funds to infrastructure, education, and healthcare is always in the nation’s best interest. However, when budgets begin to favour luxury and unnecessary extravagance, they can widen social disparities. He believes that economic policies should be designed to maintain societal balance and encourage self-reliance.
For a nation to truly progress, the budget must focus on strengthening its core—education to empower the youth, healthcare to ensure a healthy population, and infrastructure to facilitate economic activities. According to Sanjeev, “A well-structured budget is not merely about financial allocations; it is about shaping a society that thrives on equity, opportunity, and sustainability.”
Re-evaluating Security and Global Competition
In today’s world, nations are caught in an arms race, justifying excessive defence expenditures under the pretext of national security. He critiques this approach, stating that it not only drains valuable economic resources but also contributes to global instability. He argues that if countries focus on fostering diplomatic alliances rather than hostility, the enormous funds spent on military expansion could be redirected towards societal development.
He further explains that a truly strong nation is not one that outspends others on defence but one that invests in the well-being of its citizens. Instead of directing vast financial resources toward war preparations, Sanjeev Kwatra suggests that this money should be utilized to enhance education, healthcare, and social structures. This shift, he believes, would make societies more prosperous, secure, and resilient in the long run.
The Need for a Broader Vision
Sanjeev Kwatra urges policymakers to go beyond viewing budgets in mere numerical terms and consider their long-term societal impacts. He asserts that the primary goal of a budget should be to improve the quality of life for all citizens, strengthen social harmony, and establish a just and balanced economic system.
“We must move beyond short-term financial gains and embrace a comprehensive approach that benefits the entire society. The judicious and balanced utilization of resources is the key to sustainable progress,” says Sanjeev Kwatra. He insists that every budget should be assessed not just on economic parameters but also on its ability to create a just and thriving society.
The Shift Towards a Purpose-Driven Economy
Sanjeev’s perspective presents a transformative approach to economic planning—one where wealth is seen as a tool to achieve social welfare rather than an end goal in itself. His ideology calls for a shift from a purely profit-driven mindset to one that prioritizes sustainable development, social equity, and national well-being.
As economies across the world grapple with financial challenges and widening disparities, Sanjeev Kwatra’s insights serve as a guiding light. His emphasis on resource optimization, equitable distribution, and long-term vision highlights the need for a responsible and strategic approach to budgeting.
Ultimately, his message is clear: A nation’s economic policies should not be dictated by financial growth alone but should be centred around creating a society that is inclusive, progressive, and self-sufficient.

New Delhi [India], February 7: Let me ask you a simple question: have you ever stopped to think about what happens to the waste that you generate, where does it go? Every time we throw something away, it doesn’t just disappear. Globally, we produce over 2.01 billion tonnes of solid waste each year, a significant portion of which is organic food waste. Can you imagine the scale of that? It’s like piling up Mount Everest with trash every single day! Yet, at least 33% of it is not managed safely, as per the World Bank.
In India alone, over 62 million tonnes of waste are generated annually, and much of it is left untreated. Less than 20% of this is scientifically processed. What happens to the rest? It lingers in the environment, polluting rivers, filling up landfills, and releasing harmful gases into the air. The environment suffers, biodiversity diminishes, and our health deteriorates.
The crisis isn’t coming; it’s already here. Now, the question is: how long can we look away from this crisis?
What If All the Waste Could Be Converted to Wealth? Think about this for a moment. What if all the waste we generate could be turned into something valuable? What if all the waste could be transformed into wealth? Imagine if organic food waste could be transformed into compost, energy, or other useful resources. Sounds like a distant dream, right?
That’s where Samkiti comes in. We’re not just a company; we’re a movement with a mission to change the way we think about waste. Our aim is to create a cleaner, greener planet by offering solutions that transform waste into useful resources and protect the environment, leading to a more sustainable future.
What is the Real Big Problem with Waste Management? The biggest problem isn’t the waste that’s generated; it’s the way it’s managed. Improper waste management isn’t just inconvenient, it’s catastrophic. That unprocessed organic food waste and other waste end up in landfills, which release methane, a gas 25 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. A major part of that unprocessed waste ends up in water bodies, eventually polluting both our soil and water. Cities are running out of space for garbage, and the environmental damage is huge.
Is Waste Harming Your Business Too? Waste is not only damaging the environment, it’s impacting your business too! Inefficient waste management, especially of organic food waste, can result in higher operational costs, regulatory fines, and damage to your reputation, especially as consumers and investors are placing increasing importance on sustainability. On top of that, improper waste handling means missed opportunities for recycling and cost savings.
At Samkiti, we offer smart, sustainable solutions to help your business overcome these challenges. Our Vertical Top Loading Composting Unit (VTL CPU) efficiently manages organic food waste, converting it into valuable compost and reducing disposal costs. By adopting such solutions, you can enhance your brand image, ensure compliance, and make a positive impact on the environment. Don’t let waste hurt your business, partner with Samkiti to turn it into an opportunity.

Using science and technology, we convert organic food waste and other waste into valuable resources. Our solutions reduce environmental harm and open doors for economic growth.

Sunita Lad Bhamray conducting a book reading session for school children
Sunita Lad Bhamray, an Indian-origin Singapore-based author, playwright, and screenwriter, has built an illustrious career rooted in the transformative power of storytelling. With a portfolio of five books across various genres, her work consistently aims to inspire change and spark meaningful dialogue. Her latest book, Kalee and the mysterious twins, has also gained fame and found a place in every child’s home and heart. The book, which was launched in June last year, has sold close to a thousand copies in the past eight months. It traces the struggles of a young female protagonist who takes on the role of an environmental warrior, and has garnered quite a following. It captivates young minds as it follows Kalee and the two enigmatic twins who accompany her on an adventure to save the planet.
Speaking about the success of the book and motivation for writing for children, Sunita Lad Bhamray said, “The enthusiasm from young readers for Kalee and the Mysterious Twins has been truly heartwarming. The book has resonated with students as it combines environmental stewardship with important values like teamwork and responsibility. In an era when screen time is replacing reading habits, it’s encouraging to see children engage with a book and revel in the joy of storytelling. I believe that a well-told story has the power to transport young minds, nurture their imagination, and instil values that stay with them for life. I’m grateful that this book is not only sparking curiosity but also inspiring children to think about real-world solutions to environmental challenges. As they journey with Kalee and the Twins, I hope they also develop a fondness for books—a habit that will enrich them well into adulthood.”
Deeply committed to engaging with young readers, parents, and teachers, Sunita has been invited to schools across the country to conduct reading workshops and discussions with children aged 7-14, fostering environmental consciousness, ethical living, and eco-conscious leadership. These sessions have proven to be an effective way to engage pre-teens—her book’s primary readership—on pressing environmental issues. With the upcoming copies of Kalee and the Mysterious Twins, she plans to expand these workshops to Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi, using storytelling as a powerful tool to nurture a love for reading.
Her efforts in engaging students though storytelling and finding joy in the written word, has also been welcomed by parents and teachers alike. In an era when digital distractions are reducing book readership, Sunita’s sessions have successfully drawn in students who previously showed little interest in books, encouraging them not only to read but also to think critically about social and environmental issues. For schools, this also helps align with the Government of India’s Read India campaign, launched under the National Mission for Education through Information and Communication Technology (MHRD), which promotes reading as a lifelong habit and encourages teachers to engage students in a year long reading practice, outside of the ongoing curriculum. By blending fantasy with real-world themes, Kalee and the Mysterious Twins is not just a story—it is a catalyst for young minds to imagine, question, and contribute to a better future.
