Eventually, worship of Lord Ram can also be done through nature enrichment. That way, many birds and insects will find shelter and thousands of people will visit the forest. It will be beneficial for the people of Sachin, Navsari and Surat area, significantly filtering air pollution and increasing  the oxygen, immunity, positivity of the areas around.

The project will give our children a home-like environment and a sense of belonging. ‘

It is noteworthy to mention here that the Ramvan being constructed in honour of the Ram Mandir by Hearts At Work Foundation under campaign ‘Satyagrah against pollution’

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 10: What comes to your mind when you think of fashion and law? Does giving fashion a legal annotation make it any more fascinating or any less boring? Is it possible for a person fond of glamour to become a fashion lawyer? Can being a fashion lawyer bring a tinge of glamour into a lawyer’s boring legal life? The answer is- possibly. The field of law is volatile and dynamic, it has to adapt to what is trending in the society just like any fashion-minded being. The business of Fashion & Luxury necessitates a thorough understanding of the legal framework that governs the firms’ key internal activities, as well as their relationships with clients and other third parties.

Fashion lawyers perform a broad range of duties ranging from forming and dissolving business entities, advising on brand development, IP monetization, franchising, merchandising, adverting, protection to drafting, and negotiating contracts in arbitrating & litigating trademark, copyright, and other intellectual property issues, looking into export and import matters related to the Fashion Industry, like making necessary arrangements for securing Import and Export licenses, securing the rights of fashion designers, models, photographers, and other stakeholders. To become a successful fashion lawyer, one needs to have a thorough understanding of the fashion industry’s legal issues, compliances, and their solution.

The “Fashion Law” courses give an overview of fashion law which is an emerging arena of legal specialty that encompasses legal issues relating to every component of the fashion fraternity. The course concentrates on the key industry-based legal issues from a practical point of view:

• Protection of brand through different typologies of intellectual property rights, as well as international filing and creation of domain name that can be used to protect fashion creations and models;
• Fashion business through fashion negotiations and specific agreements for the industry;
• Counterfeiting issues: from product liability to consumer protection;
• Role of ethics and initiatives by the brands in the industry.

The courses are regularly supplemented with practical cases (simulations with managers and lawyers of the fashion industry) and a case study method of teaching will be adopted wherein the participants will be delegated a brand and will be required to create all the legal compliances.

The Fashion Law courses are designed for:

• Graduates, law students, and practicing lawyers who wish to learn the fundamentals of fashion and luxury industries from a legal standpoint.

Mega textile parks have been already announced by the union government in the recent union budget to double the industry size by $350bn till 2025. To address the legal issues of this industry specialized lawyers are required practicing in Fashion Law.”

“Our Fashion Law courses are designed to provide participants with the most up-to-date practical information, benchmarks, and industry expertise on the most important areas of legal frameworks and perspectives in the fashion and luxury industries.

The book presents Narendra Modi’s inspiring journey from a tea seller to the PM’s chair and his life story in a new light.

Kozhikode (Kerala) [India], July 8:  My Prime Minister Narendra Modi – a book on the life of PM Narendra Modi is set to hit the shelves soon. The Malayalam edition of the book, penned by Kerala-based author Azeez Abdulla and published by Lipi Publication, has already been released, and the English version will be launched in September.

Many books have been written about PM Narendra Modi, easily one of the tallest political leaders not just in India but in the world today, in recent years. Yet, what makes Azeez Abdulla’s effort different from others is the style and the detailing he has tried to capture in the book.

Azeez made several trips to PM Narendra Modi’s hometown of Vadnagar in North Gujarat and met with his friends, relatives, and family members to understand his journey from a tea-seller to the prime minister’s chair through sheer hard work and perseverance. Azeez also interviewed many political leaders who have been associated with Narendra Modi for many years to get a glimpse into his personality and working style.

The book, written over a period of 1 year, also captures the hardships Narendra Modi had to face over the years and the sacrifices he made.

“I am extremely proud of Narendra Modi as a prime minister. The story of his rise from humble beginnings to the highest position in the country is truly inspiring. Leaders become great by overcoming difficulties, and Narendra Modi has done exactly the same in his long and distinguished life devoted to the country. I have been inspired a great deal by his story, which I have tried to capture objectively and independently. I am confident this book will be very well-received by the readers and inspire many of them,” says Azeez.

Incidentally, a chance meeting with Narendra Modi and his family in Gujarat’s capital Gandhinagar, that left him with memorable moments and gave him an insight into the PM’s life story, is what inspired Azeez, who is also a politician, motivational speaker, and social worker, to write the book. He has also been writing for leading newspapers and magazines in Kerala for many years.

Azeez says the book will reveal new facets of Narendra Modi’s personality and previously unknown or little-known facts in his journey towards the country’s top post.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set out on a mission for a New India, to take the country at a level it deserves to be in the world over. The book is a must-read for every Indian who dreams of a new India,” he says.

The book, which also includes some of the notable speeches made by Narendra Modi over the years, has been priced at Rs. 200, and will be available in leading book stores across the country and through e-commerce platforms.

New Delhi [India], July 7: The Art Gestalt, a unique Market Research Report produced by the Histare Group in a strategic partnership with Silverseven analyzes the status of India’s creative sector and its relationship with the rest of the World, indicating a significant influence of enabling factors to advance approaches.

The report is aimed at encouraging and empowering all the stakeholders of the Creative Industry to create & contribute towards a sustainable model of growth, especially for the unorganised Indian market in accordance with the global standards.

In order to facilitate and understand the demand better, the report aims at decoding the buyer at both national and international levels. The team identified what factors motivate them to buy or invest in art which can be utilised by the artist/ art houses/ auction houses to curate their collection according to their strengths which appeals to the buyers.

The report further deep dives into India’s exports, a sector which is largely dominated by the handlooms and handicrafts verticals. Bangladesh and China were the biggest importers of Indian handlooms; however, the share by the most populous country in the world has seen a declining trend for the same. Histare’s team of market analysts have evaluated the hurdles faced by the Indian handicrafts and handloom producers and put forth some solutions towards giving a boost to the trade and how the advent of technology could act as a catalyst of growth.

Observing the global trends, modern and contemporary art holds its distinct position, the report has been dissected by geography, price, period, and buyers. We put forth a contrast to the Indian and Global markets in the Modern Art segment to extrapolate the future of Indian modern art.

The World has witnessed the ever involving technologies transforming various industries; the art world is no different. The team has curated lists of new media art forms and how technology is utilised with different art forms. Analysing the hurdles that have surfaced in modern times, we also proposed some potential growth opportunities with forecasted trends that will drive the vertical.

The Internet has had its impact on the perception of the industry which in return affects the value of artists as well as their work. We have seen a surge in the utilisation of social media platforms by the stakeholders to influence the purchase pattern of artworks.
