 Surat (Gujarat) [India], November 12: Surat, already known as the global hub of diamond cutting and polishing, is set to make a mark for itself in an entirely unrelated but critical area. A nature park in Surat is set to play a significant role in conserving dozens of exotic birds and animals.

Spread over an area of 81 acres, the Kisna Nature Park was conceived with the idea to help in the conservation of exotic bird species from around the world by providing them with natural habitat. Living up to its commitment, the park houses more than 40 exotic bird species such as Central African Parrots, Budgerigar bird, Sun Conure, Black Swan, Golden Pheasant, Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot, Lady Amherst’s Pheasant, Scarlet Macaw, Eclectus, Zebra Finches, Ring Neck Dove, Black & Red Broadbill, to name a few.

The park aims to add more exotic birds going ahead. It is also home to a variety of fishes and ducks, as well as Iguana, rabbits, dogs, and alligators, among others.

Visitors get the unique opportunity to watch exotic species in natural settings from close quarters. They are also shown how the park is working on the conservation of rare bird species and wildlife. Visitors are also made aware of steps they can take to contribute to nature and wildlife conservation.

Moreover, visitors can also participate in activities such as nature walks, yoga, meditation, picnics, eating out, and several others in the tranquil lap of nature.

“The Kisna Nature Park has been developed with the vision of conservation of exotic bird species by providing them with natural home and creating awareness among people. The other activities at the park are also linked in one way or the other with conservation of nature,” said a source of Kisna Nature Park.

The park encourages people to adopt birds and animals and organises photography and other competitions to get people more involved in the cause of conservation.

It is also home to a souvenir shop where visitors can choose from a range of souvenirs themed around the park’s inhabitants.

The Hon’ble Minister arrived in Jharsuguda yesterday evening from New Delhi and has been back to the national capital today evening.

During his stay at Jharsuguda, Shri Tankadhar Tripathy discussed various issues related to the Jharsuguda district.

Mr Tripathy laid stress on the following issues:

1- In and around Jharsuguda, there are three railway divisions, namely Bilaspur, Sambalpur and Chakardharpur.

Hence during the discussion,  Honourable Minister agreed that all the train lines of the three divisions would be combined and controlled from the Jharsuguda junction.

Shri Tripathy also requested Honourable Railway Minister that the Old Post Office building at Jharsuguda, built during the British Raj (1892), should be renovated and declared as a heritage building.

New Delhi (India), November 09: Their goal: Bring 100 villages into the mainstream development process.  It takes an organization to create a successful, scalable and profit-making SHG’s in rural areas. Kalpana Singh and the team in Uttar Pradesh set out to build an infrastructure that promotes disruptive, differentiated thinking to solve critical social and regional issues by promoting profit-making cooperatives.

After4-year career as a Radio Jockey, out of which she had worked at a leading media house in India, and Abroad, Kalpana decided it was time technology was made accessible and affordable enough to be used for the benefit of people at the bottom of the pyramid in Uttar Pradesh as a pilot project.

It was 2017, and the thriving startup culture in Uttar Pradesh showed her how many people were choosing purpose over money and conventional career trajectories far earlier in life. Through a common acquaintance, she met Renowned International Urdu Critic and Author Prof. Shafey Kidwai, who, after working with organisations like BBC, The Hindu and many more being the MIC at AMU, had decided to support Pratham Daayitva Foundation to work on root cause with the help of scientific image management.

“If you wanted large-scale financial inclusion, the development sector had to be aspirational for large numbers of people with professional, problem-solving and intellectual capabilities, and not just a place to do charitable work,” says Kalpana.

According to her, it was a struggle to find people who had innovative and disruptive thinking in the development sector, and there was a need to build an infrastructure to enable people to startup with an SHG’s model.

With this as the central objective, The Pratham Daayitva think tank was launched Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav; it is an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of progressive India and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements. Pratham Daayitva started Awards in 3 different segments to commemorate 75 years of excellence in 3 different fields, including Education, Governance and Rural Healthcare Management, in November 2021, with Sandeep Singh, Minister, Uttar Pradesh Government. What started as an idea on paper with 10 people has now evolved into a yearly award programme with close to 6non-profits in a single cohort, namely Gyanendra Mishra of Udaan Sanstha, Rashmi Anand from Aligarh Helpline, Wings Of Desire – Salim Sherwani, Human Development and Welfare Society- Anuj Chauhan, Zakir Hussain Foundation- Sajida Nadeem, Robin Hood Army-Dr Harsh Gupta.

Kalpana wanted to “spark innovation in underserved areas”, which is why the Daayitva Foundation decided to diversify and pick a range of projects across issues like rural management, people rights, financial inclusion, skill development and governance.

“We believe that Daayitva Foundation can pioneer a new model of development that focuses on technology, innovation, entrepreneurial energy and collaboration,” says Kalpana Singh, Founder and MD, Pratham Daayitva Foundation (PDF). The organisation has funded grass-root level projects since 2017.

According to Kalpana, what makes them stand out is the “ability to apply a new-age Social Behavior Change Communication and rural entrepreneurial approach to the field of development, by building evidence-based solutions focused on economic empowerment and social protection, while also addressing ecosystem barriers and supporting implementation at ground level”.

“I never thought I could make technology the centre of my approach, forget leveraging it,” she says. With strategic advice from researchers, doctors, bureaucrats, and professors we entered into a partnership with Brazil-based DigiMax, an organisation that develops digital tools to help partners document, analyse, store and share information.

As of October 24, we had reached 18 villages in Uttar Pradesh, with 39 filed and verified SHG’s proposal and Skilling, reskilling and upskilling activities, and was in the process of organizing100activities by the end of 2022.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 09: Finally, a chess book that aims to teach chess to kids in a friendly and interactive manner is out on the market. Written on invitation from the Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools, Jahnvi Shah’s book, Shatranj Ke Baal Yodha, aims to reach children across India and prepare them for elementary level chess.

18-year-old Jahnvi Shah is a national-level chess player whose heart goes out to children from underprivileged sections of society. In 2018, she started her NGO, Nirmaan Charitable Trust that coaches over 100 children across ten municipal schools in Maharashtra. The Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, has honored her to teach chess to the children from poor and needy sections of the society.

“I am so happy and proud to share, students trained by Jahnvi Shah have won gold and silver medals at chess competitions organized by All India Municipality Schools. I am looking forward to using Shatranj Ke Baal Yodha for my students. They will love this Hindi book that teaches chess in a manner and language they understand best.” Said Sushma Masale, Principal, Sanyasashram School.

Jahnvi Shah, a talented girl from Dhirubhai Ambani International School, realized the children needed a chess textbook that teaches the game in a friendly & interactive manner. She has kept the language simple, and the narrative is full of story-telling aimed at interactive learning. While reading this book, a child will feel that author Jahnvi is speaking to them and guiding them through the twists and turns in chess learning.

In his foreword, GM Abhijeet Kunte says, “Being an accomplished chess player and a coach herself, Jahnvi Rahul Shah has ensured that she weaves in her understanding of chess and presents it in a playful manner. I like the way the book has been conceptualized and written. The quizzes and exercises reinforce the learning in a fun way.”

Jahnvi will be distributing the book free of charge to BMC students across Mumbai. Kunte expresses his happiness by saying, “It gives me great happiness to write the foreword for a book that will be distributed for free among children of BMC schools across Mumbai. Through her NGO, Jahnvi will continue to impact the lives of young children who will develop a love for this great game and maybe represent our country one day.”

The book has been published by Sansi Ventures, a publishing house owned by Amarkant Jain and Mayura Amarkant. “When Jahnvi approached us with this innovative concept, we were touched by her sincerity. She has put in much effort in detailing out the chapters, exercises, and quizzes to match the target audience’s needs. We are proud to present Shatranj Ke Baal Yodha, a one-of-its-kind book for elementary-level chess.” Says Amarkant Jain. The book has an inherent universal appeal and is therefore available on Amazon and Flipkart.

Jahnvi hopes that Shatranj Ke Baal Yodhawill will help students understand elementary-level chess and, one day, make India proud.
