Geeta Solanki Founder Unipads along with chefs at Unipads Adeli initiative

Women working as cooks in schools, temple kitchens, and restaurants are not allowed to work during their periods and suffer loss of wages. The Adeli initiative sheds light on the issue.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 9: Ahmedabad-based Unipads, which works to help underprivileged women maintain menstrual hygiene, has launched a campaign to address the taboo associated with women cooking during their menstruating days.

The campaign has been aptly named Adeli, which translates to touched or possessed, and is the term used in some remote parts of the state for women going through their periods.

“The practice of not allowing women to cook while they are menstruating is not only discriminatory but also has a large financial impact. Women who are working as cooks in schools, temple kitchens, and restaurants have to face loss of wages – in some cases up to a fifth of their income – because of this practice,” said Geeta Solanki, Founder, Unipads.

Unipads, which manufactures affordable reusable cloth napkins to ensure menstrual hygiene and works to address taboos associated with menstruation, has collaborated with Manav Sadhna of Gandhi Ashram and Saath NGO for the Adeli movement.

As a first step, Unipads launched a limited pop-up restaurant with the name Adeli and collaborated with women chefs, helps, and servers going through their menstruation days to run it. Unipads invited influential community members, change-makers, activists, and other prominent names to dine at Adeli and become a part of the change. Unipads also invited hotels, restaurant chains, schools, and temples to become a part of the movement by committing to support women having their periods.

The Adeli movement has been very well received. Sarovar Portico, with its 97 hotel properties, has supported the initiative, and so has Pride Hotels at all its 26 properties. Talks are going on other with hotel chains, schools, F&B companies, and commercial kitchens for their support.

“The support has been excellent, and we see some positive change, but there is a long way to go. We need to reach out to more communities, businesses, religious and social leaders, and most importantly, the women themselves and educate them about this taboo,” said Ms Solanki.

As a part of its broader outreach, on Monday, Unipads shot a documentary associated with Nini’s Kitchen to address the taboo. Some of the women cooked for the first time during their periods.

“Going ahead, we also want to engage with policymakers to ensure a framework is put in place to protect the rights of women to be employed and paid while on periods,” added Ms Solanki.

March 8: A country’s future depends majorly on its education system. A good health and education system attributes to the development of a country. It has been seen that the education system is being massively influenced by a country’s culture.

A great personality named Avaiz Ahmad, an entrepreneur and philanthropist who is the chairman & trustee of The Human Diary Foundation, also the founder and president of the Lion Group of India, which is a Yuva Ekta Mission, dedicated to the nation. A charitable and youth organization. Through his organization, he focuses and works in the field of healthcare, education, and employment.

The main concern of his organization is to bring improvement in the healthcare and education system so that every person is feasible to access health and education facilities. Till date, they have run various campaigns with respect to health facilities of which they have made huge contributions by fulfilling the basic requirements of people from the initial days of Covid pandemic. Every year they distribute 1000 wheelchairs free of cost to specially-abled in healthcare centers and hospitals in rural India.

Avaiz Ahmad is a young supporter of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar’s vision and firmly believes in ‘Humanity is the only Religion’. He envisions an India that embraces and encourages equivalency, diversity, concinnity, sustainable development, and a toxic drug-free India.

March 8: “India is transitioning from Women’s development to women-led development” as said by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2022, I extend warm greetings and good wishes to the women of India and thank them for their contribution over the years to the development of our nation said, Shiv Shanker Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Gramin Vikas Trust.

Garmin Vikas Trust and its eminent Chairman Dr. Chandrapal Singh Yadav and Managing Director Mr. Rajan Chowdhry along with other Board members encourage women to explore the best of their capabilities to step ahead and progress every day to add feathers in their cap.

Shiv Shanker Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Grameen Vikas Trust said that I truly believe that the development sector and NGOs like us have a responsibility of implementing the gender equality and women’s empowerment agenda in every sector they work in. Participation of women in NGOs allows foraying into the social and political spheres which are not easily granted by the for-profit or public sectors. In my opinion, NGOs that work to alleviate the poverty and challenges faced by women in day-to-day life in various fields need women advocators, decision-makers, mobilizers, implementers, and program designers who are Women themselves to understand and bring better solutions. The government is today’s time is contributing significantly to women empowerment and we as an NGO have to bestow our best for empowering women. Gramin Vikas Trust creates more supportive pathways for women by acknowledging women in leadership roles, capacity building and training programs, formation of WSHGs through its programs, women literacy programs, formation of management committees with the compulsory participation of women at the community level, and women-centric programs to emancipate women at all possible levels.  https://gvtindia.org/

Gramin Vikas Trust as a national-level non-profit development organization has helped women to come out of their homes and stand up for themselves as well as for their near and dear ones. For example, when Gramin Vikas Trust started its operation in Assam as the Implementing Support Agency for Jal Jeevan Mission, no one was willing to come forward. As soon as awareness was created about consuming unhygienic water and its ill effects on health, more and more women came out of their homes voluntarily where only five women are required for Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance (WQMS) formation. In the Sivasagar district of Assam, we have created 43 nos WQMS and in the Chairaideo district, the figure is 31 nos. With time, women are very willing and responsible towards this noble initiative that not only assures them good health but also helps them come out of their homes, otherwise, most of them are stuck inside the four walls of their homes. This is how Gramin Vikas Trust has made sure women make space for themselves through the mission, informed Shiv Shanker Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Grameen Vikas Trust.

With the support of GVT, Reena Devi became a great inspiration to all the women by taking a step forward when she decided to transform the Self Help Group into a Farmer Producer Organization with the support of Gramin Vikas Trust as BRIJWASI GRAMIN FARMER PRODUCER COMPANY LIMITED to make her work come out even brighter. Rena Devi got a loan to get an expeller that helped her even more.  Gramin Vikas Trust initiated major activities of marketing of farm produce, value addition of Mustard oil, Spices by the name of Khushi for Brijwasi Gramin Farmer Producer company ltd and gave it exposure to a larger group of consumers.

Kamla Devi (37 yrs. old, decently educated, mother of two is a female SHG at Bagla village under IWMP-VII project of Hisar, Haryana. This SHG’s experience proves how rural women with the help of inter loaning/revolving funds can organize themselves and run small business activities with the support of Grameen Vikas Trust. The group was formed in the year 2013 with a membership of 11 women. Smt. Kamla Devi (37 yrs. old, decently educated, mother of two) is the head and leader of this business activity. She has managed to involve 5 other members of the SHG who work at Kamla’s house for 4-5 hours daily. All the members decided to conduct meetings once a month and that each member would deposit an amount of Rs. 100/- per month. Later, an account in the name of the SHG was opened at Sarv Haryana Gramin bank, Bagla so that the members can take loans when needed. The SHG members mainly are engaged in handloom weaving work.

March 7: “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier. This famous quote holds true for Vipin Yadav, the Managing Director of Star Link Communication Pvt. Ltd., a leading biometric solution provider and manufacturer. His vision and relentless pursuit to create next-gen technology solutions to help enterprises deliver supreme business value has helped him achieve the Trendsetter Award 2022. He was felicitated by the Honorable Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, in the ceremony which took place at Raj Bhawan on 24^th February, 2022.

Star Link has been empowering its clients across industries with best-in-class technology solution for over 25 years now. Their premium products and services have led to a strong relationship with their clients across the country. Till date they have successfully served 8000+ clients including brands like Maruti, Haldirams, and Yamaha.

The foundation for their successful business lies at the passion Vipin has for electronics. As a 13-year-old he had started to experiment with wires and created machines like audio amplifier, ham radio among many others. All this was done in an age when internet was not at disposal and DIY videos did not exist; he used his knowledge from books, magazines, and friends who shared the same interest. He knew his calling was engineering and had set his focus on becoming an engineer who would create disruptive machines that would help enterprises run efficiently. However, his dream saw a halt when he was unable to clear the engineering entrance exam and had to pursue B.Ss. But as the famous saying goes,” Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn”, and it did. Three years after completing his graduation he was able to secure a seat in a private engineering college to follow his passion.

It is his passion and faith that helped him complete his engineering dream and secure a job at a Delhi based PCO company at their R&D department. While working here he was able to gain market understating and customer pain points which led him to take the plunge and start his own venture in 1996. He put all his life savings into the business and Star Link was born in his 2BHK. He continued operating from his home with two other family members and within a few months were creating 1500-2000 pieces of a revolutionary machine which helped a common man with a landline connection make a STD call, thus eliminating the need to visit a PCO shop. They were the first ones in India to create this unique solution and were recognized by the Department of Telecom in the year 1998 for the same.

Since its inception, Vipin has been growing Star Link with futuristic solutions. He works on the principle that the customer is not looking for a product but a holistic solution that can solve a business issue and help drive value. This lies at the core of all the products they create and wish to create in the future. Today, they are also supporting the Made in India dream as all their high-tech solutions are designed, developed, and manufactured in India.

Vipin is indeed a great inspiration for all the bussing entrepreneurs out there. His story exemplifies that once you set your mind on a mission you can achieve the same with your hard work, passion, and faith. Being unable to clear engineering entrance exam did not stop him from believing in himself and his mission. Had he hung his boots back then, Star Link would not have been celebrating their silver jubilee this year.

New Delhi (India), March 7: Money Heist has been a popular show for over a couple of years now and the team recently featured an Indian Artist’s artwork on their official YouTube Channel for the first time ever.

Selected from among thousands of applicants from around the world, the participants of the expedition will comprise of scientists, sustainability leaders and practitioners from different regions of the world, who will journey to the south pole on the most dynamic Antarctic sea expedition, a unique 12 day educational journey by ship to the ‘last great wilderness on earth’.

The ‘carbon negative’ expedition aims to inspire, develop and train the next generation of leaders to promote a more sustainable future. The expedition includes the renowned ‘Leadership on the edge’ program which is a unique blend of leadership development, up-to-date climate change training, and sustainability education.

Antarctica is truly the perfect setting for this expedition. Antarctica has never known war, belongs to no nation, and is home to no tribe or indigenous race – we are all responsible for Antarctica. The key to this mission is to promote the use of renewable energy across the globe. If we can do this effectively, then it will not make financial sense for the world to exploit this continent. Antarctica is a symbol, frozen in time, which represents our united responsibility to steer humanity towards a more hopeful future.

The Climate Force initiative is also a 7-year commitment to clean up 360 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere through strategic offsetting partnerships. ‘2041 Climate Force’ is derived from the original year in which the Madrid Protocol protecting Antarctica from exploitation would come up for debate, revision, and/ or possible cancellation.

The core 50-year mission of 2041 Climate Force, which grows ever more critical by the year, is to help preserve Antarctica by engaging businesses and communities on climate science, personal leadership, renewable technologies, and the promotion of measurable action plans surrounding sustainable development.

This Expedition is an opportunity for participants to connect with and learn from the

natural environments most affected by climate change, and to realize the urgent need for real-world solutions to address these issues. There is no better teacher than the immediacy of “being there”.

In this initiative, Aarushie will be fully supported & sponsored by The Hans Foundation, a public charitable trust that works towards creating an equitable society and work primarily for health, education, Livelihood & disaster relief interventions in rural & underdeveloped areas in the country. The Hans foundation firmly believes in the importance of women empowerment in the country & promotes women leaders in all its initiatives and believes that disaster prevention requires ecological balance and an attitude of stewardship towards the environment. “The Hans Foundation, Mr. Manoj Bhargava & Ms. Shweta Rawat are the major supporting pillars for my journey to Antarctica” says Aarushie.

Along with being a national level shooter and a post graduate in environment science & interior design, Aarushie has been actively working and volunteering with NGOs like Center for Science & environment & Chintan. In 2017, She had conducted a soap recycling project, where she collected used soap bars from hotels and sanitized & recycled them into new bars and distributed them to kids at Anganwadis along with educating them about the importance of hand hygiene.

The participants of the expedition will graduate as ‘Ambassadors for the Antarctic’ charged with making a stand in the fight against anthropogenic climate change reinforced by the personal & professional network developed during & after the expedition. Post expedition, Aarushie plans to focus on eco friendly interior design solutions and to promote recycling & use of renewable energy & sustainable materials through her work and become a strong pillar for 2041 Climate Force Team.
