Dear Readers,

For the first time in this issue of the IBR Monthly, we have come up with two cover stories. Both are important because while one event was attended by the Lt Governor of Delhi, the other was related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. One cover story is about the Delhi Police’s drug-free India campaign and the second one details a yoga session for differently-abled children held at a prominent ashram near Hyderabad.

Another major event of International Yoga Day was held at a school in Kota, where the maximum number of children performed yoga under one roof.

Surya Namaskar, a form of yoga, was performed with the support of a chair by the Trinetri Yoga Center, Vadodara in Gujarat. A similar programme was organized by the Rotary Club Nagpur, in which various techniques of using the white cane were taught to visually impaired children to make their life easier.

After this comes the various types of hobbies and collecting things. Read inside the stories of two such passionate people. The first story is about V Saravanan from Chennai, who is fond of collecting coins from the British era, and the second is about Lakshmi from Bangalore, who is passionate about collecting different types of key chains. Another enthusiast is from Meerut, who even in his old age could not stop himself from making a replica of the Eiffel Tower with 1 lakh matchsticks. Read inside the story of a temple also which is shaped like Lord Ganesha.

After reading such amazing stories of record-makers, maybe you too will get an idea to do something different.

Empowering Girls with English Grammar

English is often learned as a second or additional language in India, with many students having a native language other than English. Learning a second language can offer challenges, including difficulty in correct pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension. Students in India may have limited exposure to English outside of the classroom, particularly in regions where the dominant language is different. Insufficient opportunities to practice and immerse oneself in an English-speaking environment can hinder language acquisition and fluency. The

Indian education system, especially in the Govt. schools, is primarily conducted in regional languages, and it may not always prioritize English language proficiency. The focus on rote learning, examination-centric approaches, and a lack of communicative language teaching methods can contribute to inadequate language skills. These are the thoughts of a 40-yearold Keralite, Praveen Chirayath from Thrissur who set the record for teaching maximum girls English Grammar offline in a single session and thus earned a rightful place in the prestigious India Book of Records.

With a focus on women empowerment, he started his English Grammar class on June 2, 2023, at 10 am and taught different topics such as sentence construction, tenses, and application to 1148 girls. The three hours single session class concluded at 1 pm at St Joseph College, Irinjalakuda. Following the session, the students also received a live assessment. Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, Praveen said, “As a Malayalam Literature Graduate, hailing from the countryside, I underwent the hurdles. But I could excel in my career as a corporate trainer after learning English, the global language. By making this

record my intention was to give a message to the students that learning English by understanding the concept of grammar is just a cakewalk. Students may feel hesitant or fearful of making mistakes when speaking or writing in English. This fear can result from societal pressures, a lack of confidence, or a fear of judgment, which can hinder their progress and willingness to practice the language.”

Praveen wants to take his venture ‘The Next Level’ to the real next level by lending a helping hand to all those who wish to learn the English language and reach their dream career. In the last 19 years, he has personally trained and coached a multitude of business professionals. He had lent a hand to various organisations including the Lulu Group International. Academically, he holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Hospitality Management from the Hotel and Tourism Management Institute (HTMi), Switzerland. He is viewed as an employability expert in the training industry, as he facilitates both the business and academic sectors by providing practical, interactive, and fun-filled activity-based training through workshops and seminars.

The participants of the record-setting Grammar class were from different colleges and different higher secondary schools in the Thrissur district. All of the students were girls as the theme was related to women empowerment. Praveen himself did the assessment after the session. He distributed a questionnaire in the Google form. The topics covered in the class included basic English Grammar, sentence formation, tenses, pronunciation, tips, and tricks to improve the English language. In his golden years of training, he was awarded the YMCA Best Trainer Award in the year 2009. Praveen is the founder and managing director of The Next Level Finishing School.

The record for teaching the maximum number of girls English Grammar offline in a single session was set by Praveen Chirayath (40) from Thrissur, Kerala. A total of 1,148 girl students attended the class held on June 2, 2023

Freestyle relay dance marathon

The world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on, said Michael Jackson, one of the greatest artists ever born on this planet. Dance is another form of happiness. According to the famous American memoirist, poet, and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou, “Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances.” With these themes in mind, the Rotaract Club of SIMCA from Pune, Maharashtra, organised a freestyle relay dance marathon on June 3, 2023, and established a record for the ‘longest freestyle relay dance marathon’ of 16 hours duration.

A total of 80 participants, most of them students of 18 to 30 years of age, gathered together at the Sinhgad Institute of Management and Computer Application (SIMCA), Pune, and danced nonstop for 16 hours from 6 am to 10 pm. There were 10 teams of different age groups. The fun-filled freestyle dance activity helped the Rotaract Club of SIMCA to get a memorable mention on the prestigious pages of the India Book of Records (IBR). It is worth mentioning that freestyle is a form of dancing in which there are no particular steps or movements to follow.

Kunal Singh Chauhan, Charter President of the Rotaract Club of SIMCA, said, “The idea behind the Dance Carnival was to help the underprivileged section of the society. We chose the day of June 3, 2023, for this dance marathon activity. We made all the necessary arrangements to make the event memorable. A DJ continuously played from 6 am to 10 pm to keep the dancers’ tempo high. The rhythmic music created an entertaining environment which motivated the participants to pump in more and more energy into their footsteps and body movements.”

Ashok Adak, the India Book of Records adjudicator, was also present at the venue to verify the claim and announce the record at the end of the event. He presented the IBR certificate and the medal to Kunal Singh Chauhan and other members of the organising team. With the announcement of making the record, extreme joy was visible on the faces of the dancers and the audience as well. It was truly a memorable evening at the SIMCA campus.

On asking, how the idea of a dance marathon struck, Chauhan said, “I wanted to break my previous record of the longest dance marathon. This prompted me to hold another freestyle relay dance marathon. The Rotaract Club is part of the Sinhgad Institute of Management and Computer Application (SIMCA), hence we did the activity. It has also been the Best Rotaract Club in Rotary District 3030.”

The Sinhgad Institute of Management and Computer Application (SIMCA), founded in 2004, is a part of the Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES) founded in 1993 by Prof M N Navale. More than 40,000 students have been studying in various institutions run under this educational society.

India’s First NetZero Library

Univastu Bootes Infra LLP of Gurugram, Haryana, the country’s first Net-Zero Construction-Tech company, built India’s first and largest Net-Zero Library in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh within a record time of 90 days. The 12000 sq ft Jhansi Pustakalay project commissioned by the Jhansi Development Authority (JDA) and supported by Jhansi Smart City, provides an immersive environment for learning and self-development. In this process, the company created a record for the fastest construction of a Net Zero Library, making its mention in the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records simultaneously. The construction work started on March 22, 2023, and was completed on June 20, 2023. The company demolished and reconstructed the library as per the sustainable infrastructure vision wherein the amount of carbon emissions associated with a building is zero or negative.

Continuing with the legacy of learning evident in ancient libraries such as the Jetavana Monastery at Sravasti, Uttar Pradesh, and the Nalanda University, Bihar, the Jhansi Pustakalay is a blend of rich cultural heritage and future-forward sustainable design. The library, aligned to the Net-Zero Vision 2070 given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is India’s first and only Net-Zero library, that generates 100% energy on-site and reduces up to 85% of carbon emissions. The library is a marvel of sustainable architecture, utilising ancient resources and modern techniques to create a truly environment-friendly space. Designed with the needs of students in mind, the library incorporates a three-tiered approach to sustainability, ensuring maximum efficiency and low environmental impact.

Deepak Kumar Rai, Managing Director of Univastu Bootes Infra LLP, said, “We are grateful to the Jhansi Development Authority (JDA) for giving us this opportunity. The leadership team at the JDA and the Uttar Pradesh Govt, have shown their dedication to ingenuity, eco-

friendly practices, and development. We believe this endeavour will motivate others to embrace a sustainable future which is the true hallmark of progress.”

At the first level, the library is designed to take advantage of natural light, keeping in mind the rhythm of the sun to create bright, inviting gathering and reading spaces. A health-oriented indoor environment is created with a state-of-the-art ventilation system, which prevents the spread of airborne diseases and improves air quality. Moving to the second level, the library’s construction principles ensure 100% on-site renewable energy generation through the use of solar panels and a wind turbine, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. An exemplar of energy efficiency, the annual electricity consumption for the HVAC system is expected at 30 MWh, much lower compared to the 150 MWh used by a traditional system.

Finally, at the third level, the building is designed to reduce up to 85% of carbon emissions by using next-generation heat pump technology, powered by solar energy to ensure optimal cooling and heating while consuming the least amount of energy possible. The library also employs water conservation measures such as rainwater collection and on-site grey-water treatment to help preserve water resources. Sophisticated building management systems streamline the management of the entire facility through computer-controlled systems, further reducing the environmental footprint.

The record for the fastest construction of a Net Zero Library was set by Univastu Bootes Infra LLP of Gurugram, Haryana. They demolished and reconstructed the library of the Shiksha Bhawan Campus in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh.

Pledge for

The entire world is facing the menace of drug addiction which has a devastating impact on the addict, individual, family, and a large section of society. To stop the practice of drug abuse, the Ministry for Social Justice & Empowerment launched a website for the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) on the occasion of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 26, 2021, which is observed worldwide to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving the goal of a sustainable world free of substance abuse. The NMBA was initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

To make the national capital drugs free, Delhi Police, under the leadership of Sanjay Arora, Commissioner of Police, Delhi, set a record for the maximum number of people participating in a drug awareness pledge, on June 26, 2023, on the occasion of International Day Against Drug Abuse. A total of 3,92,357 individuals in Delhi took the pledge ‘Say Yes to Life, No to Drugs’.

the Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena, in which around 4000 people participated.

Delhi Police achieved an incredible milestone this year by organising the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Pakhwada’ (June 12-26, 2023) and by setting a record for the maximum number of people participating in a hybrid drug awareness pledge. The event etched its place in the India Book of Records (IBR). The closing ceremony of the drug-free campaign took place at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi in the presence of Meenakshi Lekhi, Minister

of State for External Affairs and Culture; Member of Parliament from Delhi- Dr Harsh Vardhan, Manoj Tiwari, Padmashri Hansraj Hans, Boxing Champion MC Mary Kom, and former Captain of Indian Hockey Team Rani Rampal.

drugs. Let’s pledge that we will cooperate in the prevention of drug abuse. We promise that we will not consume harmful or illegal substances in any way for any purpose. We will create awareness regarding the ill effects of drugs by encouraging each and every individual, especially the youth so that the youth of India can live a drug-free life and play a constructive and important role in society.” The pledge was taken offline and

online as well. The LG congratulated the Delhi Police for being a beacon of light for those affected by drug abuse.

Under the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Pakhwada’, a 5 km long walkathon was organised from India Gate to the Parliament Street police station. Commissioner of Police, Delhi, Sanjay Arora flagged off the walkathon with the motto ‘Say Yes to life, No to drugs’. Around 5000 participants from both the police department and the public participated in the walkathon. On the final day of the campaign, Delhi Police destroyed 15,000 kg of drugs worth Rs 2,200 crore and pledged to eradicate the drug menace from the Capital region.

Yoga to defy disabilities

Kanha Shanti Vanam, set in the lap of nature amidst the lush green fields of Chegur village, Ranga Reddy District (25 km from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad), is full of green environs and peaceful vibes. Kanha is an integrated township with a Spiritual Retreat Centre at its heart surrounded by residential colonies. It is a modern village that is being nurtured as a place for socially, ecologically, and spiritually conscious living. People from every place and every walk of life reach there for Sahaj Marg Raj Yoga Meditation. The place was in the news on June 21, 2023, the International Yoga Day, when the Department of Empowerment of Persons

with Disabilities (Divyangjan), under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt of India, set a record for the maximum number of participants with disabilities who performed yoga at a single venue. A total of 3068 participants (Divyangjan), in the age group of 13-40 years, with disabilities such as visual impairment, hearing impairment, locomotors disability, intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, thalassemia, etc., assembled together and performed yoga for 30 minutes. They were from different parts of India.

The record for the maximum number of participants with disabilities performing yoga at a single venue was set by the Dept of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment.

The National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (NIEPED), Secunderabad, coordinated the event. Dr Virendra Kumar, the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, Govt of India, was the chief guest, and A Narayanaswamy, the Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, was the Guest of Honour. Manne Srinivias Reddy (MP); Y Anjaiah Yadav (MLA), Kishor B Surwade, Deputy Director General, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, and BV Ram Kumar, Director, NIEPID, also graced the record-making event.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s video message was shown at the venue. The PM said, “The coming together of more than 180 countries on India’s call is historic. When the proposal for Yoga Day came to the United Nations General Assembly in 2014,

it was supported by a record number of countries. Millions of people worldwide join yoga with the ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ theme. I believe, skill in action is yoga. Through yoga, we know the selfless action, we decide the journey from Karma to Karmayoga. One acquires health, vigour, and strength through yoga and those who have been regularly involved in this practice over the years have felt its energy. Yoga creates a healthy and powerful society where the collective energy is much more.”

The venue of the event, Kanha Shanti Vanam, offers free stay and food for seekers who want to learn to meditate and spend a weekend detoxing themselves in the purity and sanctity of the divine atmosphere. The retreat center is designed to facilitate extensive spiritual training and mentoring programmes that aim at promoting personal inner experience and providing opportunities to learn and contribute.

The Kanha retreat entertains Gen X also through its Heartfullness app and workshops. “We want to be inclusive,” says Kamlesh D Patel (popularly known as Daaji), the spiritual guru and author, whose idealogy resonates across the ashram. He says, “Spirituality is not about going to the forests and meditating under stringent conditions or sacrificing the family’s needs. Spirituality means to live in touch with our deepest innermost authentic spirit. This comes from an evolved mind. Spirituality cures the pollution from the hearts and minds of human beings, thereby making this world a better place.”

Single-minded devotion to Bharatnatyam

The dancing star of Wardha, Maharashtra, 8-year-old Arnavi, is studying in grade 3 at Channawar’s Vidya Mandir. The proud daughter of lab technologist couple Sagar Racharlawar and Deepali Racharlawar has been brought up and groomed in an atmosphere where she started her classical dance journey with Bharatnatyam training at the tender age of 3. Arnavi has been trained for 5 years under the guidance and electrifying mentorship of Guruji Sachin Dambhare.

During the pandemic when schools remained closed and learning was shifted to online mode, she practiced a lot at home and participated in many online dance competitions. Once the

government started gradually unlocking the city, and life turned to normalcy, Arnavi began participating in some offline dance competitions as well. She secured ranks and was honoured with a heap of more than 138 awards and prizes. Now the certificate from the India Book of Records is her topmost possession. Looking at her single-minded devotion to the dance practice and excellence in her performance, one day her dance teacher predicted Arnavi’s possible record-making performance soon. It became a reason and inspiration to both Arnavi and her parents to step into another avenue of the dancing world. Finally, after getting the information and idea about the India Book of

The record for the longest duration to perform Bharatanatyam was set by Arnavi Sagar Racharlawar (8) of Wardha, Maharashtra, who performed Bharatanatyam on June 4 nonstop for 3 hours and 39 minutes.

Record, from Suraj, a family friend of the Racharlawars, Arnavi’s application was moved for the longest duration Bharatnatyam dance performance.

Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, her father Sagar Racharlawar said that Arnavi started her systematic dance practice for 3 to 4 hours every day for more than one and half months. She maintained her diet, consumed multivitamins, and Calcium properly, and ensured a regular medical checkup too. Arnavi’s dream performance was held on June 4, 2023, at the well-equipped auditorium of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences in Sawangi, Wardha.

District collector Rahul Kardile, Superintendent of Police Nurul Hassan, CEO of DMIHER Sawangi Abhyuday Meghe, Vaishali Yerawar, former Vice President ZP Wardha, Pediatric practitioner and President of VJM Dr Sachin Pawade, and Channawar’s E Vidya Mandir director Dinesh Channawar were the eminent guests who witnessed the momentous performance. She started her performance at 10.46 am and continued dancing for 3 hours and 39 minutes. At the time of the record-making attempt, she was exactly 7 years, 11 months and 18 days old.

The India Book of Records adjudicator Manoj Tatwadi verified the claim and announced the record. He presented the certificate and the medal to Arnavi and congratulated the child. Later, Arnavi also took part in a short film ‘Aakrosh’ based on the problem of female infanticide. Besides dancing, she spares her time for other hobbies too like drawing, painting, and crafts. She is doing well in academics also. Her dream is to continue attempting new challenges and reach the pinnacle of performance.

Lord Ganeshashaped temple

Lord Ganesha is considered the God of Luck, who blesses devotees with success in all their endeavors. Ganesha holds a special place in the hearts of his devotees, and they remember him every moment of their lives. Notably, there is a record related to Lord Ganesha that has been entered into both the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records. This record is for the ‘largest temple in the shape of Lord Ganesha,’ and it was achieved by Shree Siddhi Vinayak Devasthan, located in Mahemdavad, Gujarat. The temple lies just 25 km from Ahmedabad on the banks of the Vatrak River in Mahemdavad. It is on the state highway-3 reachable via Dakor. The town has its own railway station and it is 22 km away from the Ahmedabad

railway station. This is one of the biggest temples in terms of structure and has an in-built lift facility for devotees and visitors.

Bhumi Poojan of this temple was held on the eve of Samwanth 2067 Fagun Sudh 4 (March 9, 2011). Influenced by the immense devotion of his mother Daibaji to Lord Ganesha, Narendra Bhai Purohit, CEO and Managing Director of Purohit Constructions, took the initiative to build this splendid devasthan for Lord Ganesha at a cost of around Rs 14 crore. Siddhivinayak Temple features the face of Lord Ganesha, measuring 120.98 feet in length, 84.25 feet in width, and a height of 71 feet, including the 8 feet of Shikhar (the topmost point). The temple is spread in

approximately 6,00,000 square feet area (on 22 Bigha land) and the idol of Ganesha is installed at 83 feet height. The holy flame of the Mehamdabad Ganpati Temple was religiously brought from the Siddhivinayak Mandir Mumbai. Even the idol of Lord Ganesha resembles to the Ganesha idol of the Siddhivinayaka Mandir. The replicas of Lord Ganesha idols from various temples in the country are displayed in this five-floor temple. The temple has all sorts of facilities for the visitors such as a lift, wheelchair facility, food court, accommodation, amusement park, garden, large parking, special VIP darshan facility, etc. This temple is not only for worship or devotion but for a day-long picnic also, where people from nearby towns can spend quality time with their family and friends.

Shree Siddhivinayak Devasthan or Siddhivinayak Mandir

Mahemdavad remains open for darshan from 6 am to 10 pm on normal days and from 5 am to 11 pm on special days like Sankasthi Chaturthi or any other festival. A large number of devotees turn to the temple every month on Sankasthi Chaturthi to get their wishes fulfilled. The dhoop aarti happens every day at 6.30 am and 6.30 pm, the Rajbhog aarti takes place at 12.30 pm, the Shringar aarti at 4.45 pm, and the darshan aarti at 7.15 pm. The temple attracts thousands of devotees every day from India and abroad.

Vaccination Awareness Campaign

The most common types of infections like ear infections, sinus infections, Pneumonia, Sepsis, Meningitis, and bloodstream infections are caused by Pneumococci, a type of streptococcus bacteria, spread through contact with people who are ill or by healthy people who carry the bacteria in the back of their nose. Pneumococcal infections can be mild or severe in nature. Their diagnosis depends upon where the infection is. Generally, doctors do a physical examination and ask about the patient’s medical history. Possible tests may include blood, imaging, or laboratory tests. Normally treatment is given with antibiotics, while vaccines can prevent pneumococcal infections.

World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. Through its convening power, the World Health Organization (WHO) works with countries across the globe to raise awareness of the value of vaccines and immunization and ensures that governments obtain the necessary guidance and technical support to implement high-quality immunization programmes. The ultimate goal of World Immunization Week is for more people and their communities to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.

To mark World Immunization Week this year, the pharma major - Pfizer Ltd organised a Pneumococcal Vaccines Awareness Campaign involving a total of 3374 medical practitioners from most of the major cities across the country. The campaign made its way to the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) for creating the record for ‘the maximum number of doctors

pledged to spread awareness on the use of Pneumococcal Vaccine for comprehensive disease protection’. The doctors from different places in India participated and digitally pledged online to support and carry on the awareness drive on Pneumococcal Vaccines. The campaign was carried out from April 24, 2023, to May 5, 2023.

The World Health Organization estimates that about a million children succumb to bacterial infections annually, with more than 3,00,000 being under 5 years of age. The feat of excellence by the pharmaceutical company was acknowledged as the most deserving contender by the India Book of Records, a platform that functions in sync with the International Protocol for Records (IPR) to identify, honour, and preserve evidence of records for future reference. The India Book of Records is registered with the Government of India.

The mega awareness campaign around bacterial infections and Pneumococcal Vaccine was planned by Pfizer Ltd in association with 6 Sigma Healthcare Communications, a Mumbai-based medical communications service. Doctors with specialisations in medicine and others were approached to support the awareness campaign and promote the message with their patients. They were asked to pledge digitally on the portal and talk to their patients about these infections and the importance of vaccination. Founded over 170 years ago, Pfizer Ltd is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies with specialisation and expertise across four distinct business categories - Vaccines, Hospitals, Internal Medicine, and Inflammation and Immunology.

The joy of staying together

It is said that love is eternal, and this saying has been proved right by the Agarwal senior citizen couples of Agarwal Samaj Chorasi, Tonk, Rajasthan. The senior couples celebrated their Golden and Platinum jubilee marriage anniversaries at a grand programme held at Agarwal Sewa Sadan, Diggi Malpura in Tonk, and set a national record under the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR).

The heartwarming sight of a total of 359 senior couples celebrating the beauty and struggles in life, with traditional wedding customs of marriage, was a delight for everyone present at the event. Human beings spend a long time on the planet and this type of event is a way to celebrate admiration, respect, and love between two genders.

Driving across India with a mission

Passion for cars, and the willingness to give back to society, motivated 41-year-old fitness enthusiast, GD Vishnuraam from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, to hit the road and create awareness on ‘girl child education’. Covering the four corners of India in roughly 256 hours brought him another reason to smile – a new record, taking his name to the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records simultaneously. This record is for being the fastest to cover four corners of India in a car. Earlier also he has made several other records.

Vishnuraam is fond of keeping himself fit and for that he prefers to follow a routine of walking, running and cycling.

K Shankar, ADGP, Law & Order, and RV Ramya Bharathi, DIG, flagged off his Mahindra XUV700 from the Anna Nagar Tower, Chennai, on May 28, 2023. This journey took him through many challenging experiences. On the way to Bhubaneswar, he encountered a sandstorm followed by strong winds and heavy rain. Next day while moving towards Durgapur, the road conditions worsened significantly. Continuing from Tezpur, he embarked on a 3130 km journey to Tezu, which welcomed him with pleasant weather. During the drive, he passed through some of the best highways in the country, like the Purvanchal Expressway, the Agra-Delhi highway, and the Yamuna Expressway.

The highways from Chandigarh to Bhuj were excellent, especially passing through the states of Haryana and Rajasthan before entering Gujarat. The roads in all three states were extraordinary, and the traffic was minimal, allowing him to fully immerse in the drive. The roads from Bhuj to Koteshwar were quite

daunting. From Koteshwar, he started the fourth leg of his trip, the southern part of India. The stretch between Mumbai and Pune was full of heavy traffic and he got stuck for over 2.5 hours. The distance from Mumbai to Bengaluru is around 819 km, and he covered it in 11 hours. The roads were excellent, and due to the late hour, there was minimal traffic.

Travel enthusiast GD Vishnuraam of Coimbatore made a record for being the fastest to cover four corners of India in a car. His journey began from Chennai and he covered Tezu, Leh, Kotesevar, and Kanyakumari.

roads from Salem to Kanyakumari were in excellent condition, and upon crossing Tirunelveli, both sides were adorned with windmills. The last 10 km, before reaching Kanyakumari, offered scenic routes with windmills and a refreshing breeze. On June 7 at 11.40 pm, he reached the end point of his journey in Chennai. “Initially, my plan was to complete the entire journey within a span of 14 days. However, due to sleepless nights and encountering various road conditions, I managed to finish the trip in a shorter duration of 10 days, 15 hours, and 40 minutes, which totals to 255 hours and 40 minutes. Throughout this challenging expedition, I covered an impressive distance of 12,226 km,” said Vishnuraam.

He told the India Book of Records magazine that all his earlier drives were for a cause, and being a father of a daughter he thought of spreading the message of girl child education. “I was stopped by people in cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune, asking about the initiative and for supporting the cause. It was different in rural areas, as I had to look out for parents and talk to them. But the mission was achieved,” he said.

Mint flavoured giant bottle

Amid the scorching heat of the summer season, one definitely craves for something cool and refreshing. With the temperature soaring high up to 44 degree Celsius, Dabur India Ltd won the hearts of many people in one of the biggest carnivals in the country, the popular Nauchandi Mela, held annually in the Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh. The company succeeded in setting a record, and getting the brand’s name entered into the prestigious pages of the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR) as well.

Dabur achieved this target by erecting a 23-foot high structure of the Pudin Hara Fizz bottle. With the aim of raising awareness about indigestion and stomach-related ailments, common during the summer season, Dabur India planned this activity along with demonstrating the giant bottle. The huge structure, weighing 500 kg, quickly became the talk of the town. The visitors at the Nauchandi Mela, which had a vast exhibition in place comprising of hundreds of interesting stalls, were keen to see and touch the huge bottle.

Since the Nauchandi Mela attracts a huge number of visitors each year, Dabur India found the fair as the perfect spot to introduce its product to visitors. A huge replica of the Pudin Hara Fizz bottle was made that included a ‘Thandak Zone’ also. This special zone was created with mist fans blowing cool breeze for the visitors to enjoy and relax. The chilled breeze smelled of Pudina (mint leaves) to familiarise the visitors with the Pudin Hara Fizz drink. The display was held at Nauchandi Mela from May 27, 2023, to June 15, 2023.

In addition to the big attraction spot, people were also given free Pudin Hara Fizz drinks to quench their thirst after taking a stroll in the fair, to which their response was joyous and encouraging. Many people were seen praising the fizz drink and some also claimed that the drink helped them relieve the acidity in the stomach. It took almost seven days to create and place the humongous structure of the fizz bottle at the venue.

Pudina, scientifically known as Mentha spicata, is an aromatic herb belonging to the mint family. It is a popular herb from ancient times known for its freshness and health benefits. This natural anti-oxidant cures many digestive ailments such as bloating, indigestion, and nausea. Moreover, Pudina is also beneficial for the skin to keep it glowing and healthy. Issues related to acne and scarring can be cured miraculously with the help of this herb.

It is noteworthy that Dabur India Ltd is known for its plantbased products. The company was founded by SK Burman in the year 1884. It serves a wide range of consumer products in different categories like hair care, health care, skin care, hygiene care, and food & beverages. Pudin Hara has been one of its many popular formulations.

The Halloween Treasure Hunt

Every kid’s early days are filled with many sweet memories and games, and treasure hunt surely holds the first place in the list of any child’s favourite games. Combining the spirit of Halloween and the treasure hunt, Perfetti Van Melle India and Audio First Commerce Pvt Ltd set a record for building the first voice interactive multi-lingual Halloween treasure hunt interactive application. The treasure hunt was launched on October 31, 2022. The initiative made its way to the India Book of Records (IBR).

HiVoco (where Voco stands for Voice Companion), is the world’s first voice interactive animated stories app. It is quite popular amongst children and has gained love from many users for its voice-interactive style. The treasure hunt was formed in

different Indian languages on the occasion of the festival of Halloween. The rapid growth and popularity of this treasure hunt had achieved more than 2,00,000 downloads till the announcement of the record.

Halloween for children is counted as one of the most joyfilled and thrilling festivals. Dressing up as a character and wearing a costume, scary accessories, and exciting activities are a big part of this festival. Halloween originally started as a festival in Britain and Ireland, however, it has become a famous celebration in the world now. In India also a large number of children and youth thoroughly celebrate and enjoy this fun-filled festival. Halloween is an annual celebration observed in many countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast

of All Saints’ Day. It begins the observance of ‘Allhallowtide’ -- the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. HiVoco Play is full of captivating stories, podcasts, quizzes, and riddles for children to never have a single moment of boredom. The cherry on top is the voice-interactive function which enables the user to interact with the characters. Their Panchtantra series which was introduced during the pandemic was a big hit amongst children and teachers. The Panchtantra series was an interactive programme for children between the age of 4 to 10, whereby both teachers and storytellers were able to give ample interactive content. It was loved by the parents as well.

Pritesh Chothani, founder, HiVoco, says that early education is all about conversations. The more the children talk, listen and respond to these conversations, the more they learn. That is the

core principle behind HiVoco. The child can ask questions and clear any doubts through this medium. This app matches the CBSE curriculum for students between the age of 4 to 10. “We want the best teachers and storytellers to engage children in a one-to-one conversation and in that explain the most complex stuff. With Panchatantra Interactive, we want the kids to be at the centre of the stories,” he said.

Surya Namaskar with Chair

Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of 12 powerful yoga poses. Besides being a great cardiovascular workout, it is also known to have an immensely positive impact on the body and mind. Practicing Surya Namaskar in the early morning with an empty stomach is considered the best. Each round of Surya Namaskar consists of two sets, and each set is composed of 12 yoga poses. There are many versions of

Surya Namaskar’s practice. However, it is advised to stick to one particular version and practice it regularly for the best results.

The record for ‘maximum people performing Surya Namaskar with the help of a chair’ was set by Trinetri Yog Center of Vadodara, Gujarat. A total of 350 participants of different age

groups gathered together at the yoga center and performed 108 Surya Namaskar while using a chair for support. The activity brought the name of the yoga center to the India Book of Records.

The participants were told that besides good health, Surya Namaskar also provides an opportunity to express gratitude to the sun for sustaining life on this planet. Surya Namaskar has a wide range of health benefits. It helps to keep one diseasefree and healthy. It keeps the body and mind in balance. It improves blood circulation and digestion. It strengthens the heart and stimulates the abdominal muscles, respiratory system, lymphatic system, spinal nerves, and other internal organs. It tones the spine, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, wrist, back, and leg muscles, thereby promoting overall flexibility. Psychologically, it regulates the interconnectedness of the body, breath, and mind. It makes one calmer and boosts energy levels with sharpened awareness. It also helps in losing weight and keeping skin and hair in good shape.

Sunita Shah, the founder of Trinetri Yog Centre, says, “Our Yog Center came into being in the year 2003 and it has been serving the people of Vadodara with the best health practices for past many years. Our mission is to facilitate healing at every level, whether it is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. All forms of yoga, like traditional yoga, power yoga, vinyasa, aerobics, Zumba, and CrossFit are performed at Trinetri, which also conducts a 6-month Yoga Teacher Training Course.”

Regarding the Surya Namaskar with a chair, the organiser said, “In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, a minimum of 45 minutes of physical exercise in a day is recommended, which can be anything from walking, running, and working out in the gym to yoga. So here is one such exercise which you can easily perform in the comfort of your office chair or at home -- the ‘Surya Namaskar with a chair’. This variation of Surya Namaskar is beneficial for elderly people and those who have limited mobility. It helps to keep the spine intact and protects the backbone while improving digestion, reducing swelling, and enhancing breathing capacity. The aim of the 108 Surya Namaskar activity was to promote awareness about yoga and holistic well-being.”

One of the participants, Devsinh Mahavirsinh Jadeja said, “Taking part in the 108 Surya Namaskar activity was really wonderful. Our mornings started with Surya Namaskar, which kept us energetic, flexible, and fresh throughout the day. It has become now a sort of addiction. Thanks to all the teachers for making this event memorable.”

Measure, Control, Live Longer

In today’s world, there are many diseases that surround human life, like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and many more. Some of these deadly diseases are a result of genetic inherence whereas some attack the body due to the lack of awareness or sheer negligence. The IPCA Laboratories in association with the World Hypertension League (WHL) set the record for ‘creating the largest sentence for hypertension awareness’ under the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR) as well. The largest sentence (using huge letters) was displayed as ‘Measure, Control, Live Longer’. Letters of this sentence, measuring 55 feet in width and 12 feet in height, were made by using multi-coloured sticky notes. The activity took place at the Chettinad Vidyashram in Chennai, Tamil Nadu on June 11. 2023. The sole purpose of the IPCA Laboratories and the World Hypertension League was to create awareness about the deadly disease of hypertension amongst the public. The mega hypertension awareness programme witnessed the presence of more than 200 medical practitioners from different hospitals and more than 300 hypertension patients, who came from the city and its surrounding areas.

The common message from the speakers at the programme was that many people suffering from hypertension are likely to develop heart ailments and complications that can turn fatal if not treated properly. In order to prevent hypertension, doctors suggested taking a balanced and healthy diet, going for healthy snacking options to avoid high blood pressure, being aware of body weight, keeping physically active and avoiding getting obese, and also avoiding chain smoking or alcohol consumption. If people stay cautious of their diet and health in general, they can avoid the problem of hypertension.

Dr S N Narasingan, Vice President of the World Hypertension League, said, “Hypertension is popularly known as the ‘silent killer’. This name has been given to it due to its silent symptoms which go unidentified many times. India is a country where many people suffer from deadly hypertension. Around 20% of women and 25% of men are suffering from hypertension according to a survey. The goal of the hypertension awareness campaign is to educate the masses about the increasing risk of hypertension.”

The record for ‘creating the largest sentence for hypertension awareness’ was jointly set by IPCA Laboratories Ltd and World Hypertension League. They displayed the largest sentence as ‘Measure, Control, Live Longer’.

The health experts who participated in the hypertension awareness programme, included Dr Rajan Ravichandran, Senior Consultant Nephrologist, MIOT Hospital; Dr P Soundararajan, Senior Consultant Nephrologist, Apollo Hospital; Dr D Prabhakar, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Apollo Firstmed Hospital; Dr S S Lakshmanan, MD, Priya Nursing Home; Dr K Shanmugam, Senior Consultant Physician, Stedford Hospital; Dr Vijay Viswanathan, MD, M V Hospital; Dr E Prabhu, Professor of Nuclear Medicine, Omanandurar Multi Specialty Hospital; Dr K Bhanu, Director of Neurology & Neurosurgery, Mehta Hospital; and Dr P Paranthaman, Professor of Medicine, Kilpauk Medical College.

It is worth mentioning that the World Hypertension League (WHL) is a non-profit and non-government organization which works to prevent and control hypertension, all over the world. There are 80 global hypertension societies that are associated with WHL. It has regional offices in many countries like China, SubSaharan Africa, South East Asia, South Pacific, North and South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

Kids for Yoga

Life in these times is often full of stress and competition. To stay fit, both mentally and physically, yoga is a practical solution. Regular practice of yoga translates into a better academic outcome and it also improves holistic growth and development of children.

Bringing yoga in continuous practice helps children improve their strength, flexibility, and overall balance. This thought motivated the management of Shiv Jyoti Convent School of Kota, Rajasthan, to celebrate International Yoga Day in a big way. A total of 451 children of the school were asked to perform various yoga poses for one hour on June 21, 2023, to emphasize on ‘Yoga se Hoga’ theme. Their performance started at 4.30 pm on the school premises and ended at 5.30 pm, gaining recognition from the prestigious India Book of Records.

The children performed different types of asanas to set the record, such as Uttanpadasana, Pawanmuktasana, Maraktasana, Bhujangasana, Paschimotanasana, Salabhasana, Naukasana,

Dhanurasana, Vriksasana, Trikonasana, Dhruvasana, Sukshma

Yogic Kriya, Surya Namaskar and Chandra Namaskar. Watching children doing yoga together was a treat to the eyes. Their actions were synchronized, as most of them were already familiar with the yoga poses. Since yoga has been a crucial part of regular activities in the school, the participants were comfortable with performing the different asanas. Many of them had practiced the art before in the summer camps. IBR adjudicator Dr Bhuvnesh Mathuria verified the claim and handed over the certificate to Mahesh Gupta, the director of Shiv Jyoti Convent School.

“Videos of our yoga masters performing different asanas were also shared for the final event so that the children have an idea of the sequence of asanas to be performed on the final day. Proper rehearsal and yoga drill was also done to make the event flawless,” said Shivam Gupta, the director of the school. He told the India Book of Records magazine, “Yoga has always

been an essential element of our learning process. Recognising the importance of this ancient practice in daily life, we decided to take the initiative of making the young generation realise the benefits of breathing exercises and yoga. As we started to move ahead with this idea, someone suggested setting a record.”

Shiv Jyoti Convent School, founded in 1982 by a group of dedicated educationists,

besides creating a space for regular yoga practice, had also included yoga in their curriculum. Since it reports a greater sense of harmony in students and connectedness in the community, the school organised special sessions for creating awareness about the benefits of regular Yoga practice. Its benefits are also seen to reach beyond the students to impact teacher effectiveness and the overall classroom climate as well. It helps in increasing the concentration of our children and helps to fight back the most common issues like depression, panic attacks, and other emotional stresses. After this successful event our students are even more inclined towards different forms of yoga and are more enthusiastically participating, added Gupta.

Vision for visually impaired

Knowledge of two techniques is needed to use a white cane, the stick for the visually impaired. Hoover’s technique is used to navigate on roads or flat surfaces in closed places. Visually impaired people have to use a pencil grip for climbing stairs. Hoover’s technique involves probing the stick and alternating it against the foot which is coming forward. It also makes them aware of different sounds and vibrations when the stick touches a metal, ground, floor, tiles, or stairs. The pencil grip gives them a sense of the height of the stairs. These

techniques were explained at the mobility workshop organised by the Rotary Club of Nagpur, Ishanya (RCNI), Maharashtra, on July 30 and 31, 2022.

The event created a record for the ‘maximum visually impaired children receiving training in a workshop’ under the India Book of Records (IBR). A total of 216 participants, including kids and adults, were taught various techniques to use the white cane properly, such as the two-point technique, the pencil grip technique to hold the cane while climbing stairs,

recognising cereals, grains, and vegetables, sharpening other sensory organs, crossing a road without the Zebra crossing and recognising various sounds, etc. The participants including kids and adults, learned how to use the white and red sticks.

“In Maharashtra, there are only a few teachers left who can teach the correct usage of the white cane and impart mobility training. We taught the participants how to recognise direction, such as the North, East, West, and South. They were also given orientation in enhancing their sense of smell. Earlier, these people would get trained in navigation among other things at the school level. In the past few years, the mobility teacher’s

post has been scrapped by the government. Only a limited number of schools have such trainers. So basically, there is no one to teach them how to walk on their own. When they leave school, they face problems in reaching and returning from college,” said Swagat Thorat, better known as the Braille Man of India.

According to Manisha Rathi, secretary of RCNI, around six months ago, they came to know that many visually impaired students could never step out of their school. Along with Saksham, an initiative of RSS, and a few other NGOs, RCNI mobilised 216 blind persons. On the first day of the workshop, participants were taken on the road and they enjoyed the experience. The RCNI also engaged several blind kids in feeding sessions.

Swagat Thorat, who is from Mumbai, conducted the workshop. His associates including Swaroopa Mandhare, Mrunalini Deshpande, and Prajakta Deshpande managed the programme. Thorat has been training the blind for the last 25 years and has conducted many such workshops in Pune, Satara, Kolhapur, etc. He claimed that the workshop conducted by the RCNI was one of the biggest in terms of participants.

The participants were from Gyanjyoti Andh Vidyalaya, Nagpur; Blind Relief Association, Nagpur; Rajiv Gandhi Niwasi Andh Vidyalaya, Katol, and a few other organizations. The programme was attended by Shirish Darvhekar, President, Saksham; Shivdas Rathi, President, Maheshwari Panchayat, Sitabuldi; Gopal Chandak, Honorary Secretary, Maheshwari Panchayat, Sitabuldi; and Arun Palandurkar, Treasurer, Saksham. The event was supported by Shah Furniture, Nagpur Traffic Police, and Sitabuldi Police.

Multiple social activities in a row

The Rotary Club of Madurai Metro Heritage organised 132 social activities on June 14, 2023, at multiple venues and thus created a record. The activity was recognized by the Asia Book of Records (ABR). The social activities were of varied nature involving different subject areas, such as teacher training programme, awareness of gender equity, art and drawing competitions, career guidance sessions for students, financial guidance for domestic workers, organ donation awareness campaigns, blood donation awareness campaigns, cultural programmes by children at old age home, eye check-up camp, dental check-up camp, sustainable farming session for the farmers, etc.

The ‘social projects in a single day’ initiative also included a tree plantation drive at several locations, arranging breakfast for the old age home inmates, awareness sessions at schools and corporate offices, screening of films at old age homes for the inmates, distribution of seeds to promote plantation activity, free food distribution for underprivileged people, financial assistance to domestic workers, and more activities. Vivek Nair, the Asia Book of Records adjudicator, verified the claim and announced the record. He presented the ABR certificate and the medal to CR Venkatesh, the president of the Rotary Club of Madurai Metro Heritage.

District Governor nominee Prof Raja Govindasamy and Assistant Governor Ravi Parthasarathy were also present during the recognition ceremony held at Madurai. Over 40 institutions and organisations benefited from these projects in Madurai and other places. President CR Venkatesh said, “There were a total of 132 clubs functioning under the Rotary District 3000, hence they planned to dedicate 132 social projects. The club members are happy to support the community in different ways. The primary objective was to educate the youth to help others around them and to promote the concept of sharing with needy and underprivileged people. With organisations such as the Rotary Club, reaching out to needy community sections would be possible.”

It is worth mentioning that the Rotary Club of Madurai Metro Heritage was born on February 21, 2020. The club is continuously being shaped into a dynamic organization. The club encourages business networking among its members, and it has a blend of experienced Rotarians and young active members. The members come from varied businesses and professions, providing the club with a diverse base. However, the parent organisation, the Rotary was founded on February 23, 1905, by Paul Harris (lawyer), Silvester Schiele (coal dealer), Gus Loehr (mining engineer), and Hiram Shorey (tailor) at 127 North Dearborn St, Chicago.

Rotary is an international humanitarian service organisation. The men and women of Rotary are business and professional leaders who volunteer their time and resources to help others in their local communities and worldwide. Rotary clubs carry out a

variety of service projects that address critical issues including poverty, hunger, illiteracy, substance abuse, and pollution.

Rotary Club of Madurai Metro Heritage set the record for maximum social activities conducted in a single day at multiple venues. A total number of 132 social activities were organised in different parts of Madurai.

Super fast land demarcation

cases of all 11 tehsils in one day, the revenue staff entered the field at 7 am sharp. In this one-of-a-kind campaign of demarcation, certificates were also provided to the tenant applicants on the spot by calling the concerned party in the cases and ensuring the demarcation of the agricultural land using modern tools and techniques. The exercise made its way

The record for maximum plots of land demarcated in 12 hours was set by Anurag Verma, Collector of Satna, MP. A total of 1,552 plots of land were demarcated on May 20, 2023, under the Seemankan Maha Abhiyan of MP Govt.

to supervise the mega demarcation campaign. He visited the farm barn of Matehna, Ramsthan, and Sakaria villages and got the demarcation proceedings completed in front of him. Nine cases of demarcation were completed in these villages. Seeing the Collector sitting in front of them, made the villagers happy. After demarcation, the Collector handed over the demarcation certificates on the spot to the applicant farmers. SDM City Neeraj Khare and Naib Tehsildar Ms Anuradha Singh

were also present on the occasion. A large number of farmers and villagers were already there. Verma, who reached village Mathena of Raghuraj Nagar tehsil passing through inaccessible roads, inspected the proceedings of demarcation being carried out in four pending cases at Mauja station.

Collector Anurag Verma also distributed certificates to the applicants after conducting demarcation proceedings in the pending demarcation cases of Sharda Prasad, Chandra Shekhar Prasad, Neelima, and Ram Khelavan of Mauja Matehna. Patwari Ajay Tiwari demarcated the total area. The Collector, who reached Ramsthan, saw the demarcation proceedings being done at the request of three applicants namely Ravindra Singh, Ajay Singh, and Vijay Sharma. Sitting on a cot under the shade of a tree, the officer talked to villagers in order to gather information. He also discussed the local problems and implementation of government schemes.

By the evening, pending cases of a total of 1552 demarcations were completed, which was over and above the target of 1275 demarcations. Such a number of demarcations done in a day was for the first time not only in Madhya Pradesh but in the

country as a whole. Earlier, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) had directed the government to demarcate land in Satna and Chitrakoot region, which is mentioned in the revenue record as a river or public land, and also to ensure there is no encroachment. The order was issued while disposing of a petition on increasing pollution due to the throwing of untreated sewage, dumping of garbage and against encroachment, illegal constructions in the shape of hermitages (religious retreats), farmhouses, commercial activities, and residential houses made by private and influential persons near Paysuni and Saryu rivers.

Robotic knee strengthening

Total knee replacement is a common but life-changing orthopedic surgery that involves the replacement of the knee joint with the help of implants to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from end-stage osteoarthritis or other physical damage. The age group undergoing this procedure has reduced in recent years with younger patients receiving total knee replacement procedures quite often. This procedure is also known as Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) or Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Nowadays, robotic technologies are applied

Dr Swaroop Patel (37) of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, has set a record for the maximum robotic knee joint replacement surgeries done in a single day. He demonstrated his incredible skills by doing robotic knee joint replacement surgery on 11 patients continuously in a single day on May 22, 2023 (from 5.14 am to 11.10 pm) at the Apex Super Speciality Hospital & PGI, Varanasi. The feat has been recognised by the prestigious Asia Book of Records (ABR).

The traditional method of knee replacement, also known as

Dr Swaroop Patel (37) of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, set the record for performing the maximum number of Robotic Knee Joint Replacement Surgeries in a Single Day. He performed 11 surgeries.

This method utilises X-ray images and solely relies upon the visual evaluation of the surgeon and the utilisation of direct manual surgery. The traditional total knee replacement surgery involves making an incision of around 10 to 12 inches long using standard surgical tools and equipment. While this procedure has benefited several patients over the last several years, it is invasive and painful and requires a longer time to recover from.

In conventional knee replacement surgery, the method is reliant on vision and human judgement and the technique is based on bone section and soft tissue balancing. Dr Patel says, “The knee is a hardworking joint. While you’re walking, crouching, or even standing still, your knee depends on a well-tuned system of bones, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and nerves. If an injury, arthritis, or another condition affects any of the parts of your knee, you may need knee replacement surgery. Precision is vital in these procedures.”

Dr Swaroop Patel, MBBS, MS (Orthopedics), has many years of experience in serving patients with bone diseases,

spine diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, sports injuries, and infections. He is an expert in treating diseases like ankle sprain, carpal tunnel syndrome, swelling, joint immobility, arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, elbow pain, fracture, etc. He practices at the Apex Hospital, a 200-bedded multi-disciplinary and super specialty healthcare and life-saving referral & research hospital based in Varanasi.

Dr Patel says that there are multiple benefits of the new procedure that results in a much better experience and recovery phase for the patient. The robotic surgery model increases the possibility for improved long-term function of the knee joint. It has improved safety and also decreased the risk of injury to the surrounding tissues and bone components. The procedure requires smaller incisions which results in faster recovery, shorter hospitalisation, and lesser levels of discomfort for the patient. There is a higher level of accuracy in the implant positioning which results in a natural feeling for the patient in the joint after the procedure.

Crazy for coins

Coin collecting has been a popular hobby for many years. Wealthy and scholarly people began collecting coins starting in the 1800s. Today, coin collecting has become a common interest among many people. Coins can be considered historical artifacts that carry a lot of value. They are pieces of history that help people learn more about local, national, or even world history. Additionally, coins are unique forms of design and craftsmanship. Some coins can have great monetary value based on their historical and artistic significance. Certain collectors’ coins can be priced in the millions. Coin collecting does not need to be this expensive for everyone. V Saravanan

(42) from Chennai, Tamil Nadu is one who has invested around Rs 4 lakh on this hobby.

Saravanan has created a record for having a unique coin collection from the British India era and has got his name included in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR). He has a collection of 338 unique Indian coins from the British rule era (1803 AD to 1947 AD). Saravanan is a business administration graduate working at the Heavy Vehicles Factory. He started his coin collection almost at the age of 8 years. In his school days, he first started collecting postal stamps as a hobby after getting

inspired by his uncle’s collection. Later he switched to coins collecting hobby, which made him a Numismatist.

Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, Saravanan said, “It was almost 30 years ago when I got attracted to coins - their variety, shapes, sizes, and designs. Since then, I kept on collecting numerous types of coins that came my way, and today I have made this record. I got the idea of setting a record after watching many record holders’ videos. I would continue adding value to my collection to make it bigger and better. India Book of Records was always on my mind, as it showcases the Indian achievers.”

He further said, “The history associated with the coins inspired me to hunt for rare coins. I focused on the materials used to mint coins during the British era. Their shapes, scripts, carvings,

year, design, and mint mark boosted my will to search for the rarest of rare coins from the East India Company time. I bought, borrowed, and collected all these coins from street sellers, relatives, friends, coin exhibitions, etc. Some of these I received as a gift also. I devote a lot of my free time to maintaining my collection.”

For the new hobbyists, his suggestion is to “begin by choosing what type of coins you like, look at what you have on hand, and get started.” Travelling to new places is a great way to find new types of coins. Each destination has unique coins, so they can be great souvenirs to remember the time spent on a trip. This hobby can also help in relieving stress. Go through a pile of coins to see what you can find. Sifting through and picking out desirable coins can be a calming process for some people.

The record for a unique coin collection from the British India era was set by V Saravanan of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, who has a collection of 338 unique Indian coins from the British era (1803 AD to 1947 AD).

While the country liquor industry was the mainstay of the liquor division with their popular brand ‘Bunty Bubbly’ selling 1.32 crore cases per month

as against the next bestselling brand, which is less than 50%, the company is planning to launch a few new products. The IMFL brands are manufactured at the company’s Gorakhpur plant in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The management’s focus has been on the best packaging material and bottle

and in constantly charting new horizons. IGL’s products are also being introduced in Canteen Stores Departments for supply to the Armed forces.

The company has three state-of-the-art distilleries in Kashipur (Uttarakhand), Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), and Todarpur (Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh).

Key chains keep her busy

The record for the maximum collection of key chains was set by Lakshmi U Mannekote (14) of Bengaluru, Karnataka, who has a total of 735 different styles of key chains in her eye-catchy collection.

Akey chain is a small chain, usually made from metal or plastic, that connects an item to a keyring. The length of a keychain lets an item to be used more easily than if connected to a keyring directly. Nowadays, key chains are considered to be more than an object which is used for holding keys. You will find them as a part of the latest fashion trends with teenagers hanging trendy and cool key chains on their bags. Many are seen collecting them simply because they love the variety and variations in key chains available. Thus, keychain collection, as the name suggests, is the hobby or activity of collecting key chains. With so many stylish key chains available, they are simply wonderful and fun to collect.

Lakshmi U Mannekote, a 14-year-old student of class 9th of the ICSE board at St Mary’s Public School, Bengaluru, Karnataka, has a passion for collecting different types of key chains. Her collection of key chains made her famous recently when her name appeared in the India Book of Records (IBR). She has established a record for having the maximum collection of key chains. She owns a total of 735 different styles of key chains in her amazing collection. Her attractive key chains are mostly made of fabric, hard plastic, soft plastic, rubber, crystals, metals, glass, leather, wood, etc.

Born on April 26, 2007, at T Dasarahalle in Bengaluru, she got into this hobby just by chance. On a fine day in 2021, she was going through the records and achievements of other people. She realised that key chain collection was something where she could do better. She did not find many pursuing this hobby. At that time, she was having only 13 key chains at her house. She explored various shops and markets in her area and other nearby places. Since then, she has invested more than Rs 25,000 on this hobby.

Daughter of Umesh B Mannekote and Suneetha K Mannekote, Lakshmi is grateful to the India Book of Records for recognising her hobby that she loves more than anything else. Which are her most precious key chains? “Key chains made of crystals, semi-precious metals, and glass, are some of my most precious assets because they look so attractive and eye catchy,” she replied.

How to jump into this hobby? She says, “First thing is to decide the key chain collection theme. It is a great way to show your interest, for instance, you can choose to collect key chains of different countries or places you have visited. This will reflect to others that you have travelled to these places. Also, a theme will help you manage your collection. When you will go out to purchase you will search for specific key chains depending upon the theme and thus will be able to make a purchase easily. You should start your key chain collection by first adding 5 to 10 key chains to your collection. You can either select from your existing key chain collection or purchase new ones from the market.”

Cape to A

Cairo by Car

journey not for the faint-hearted, “Cape to Cairo by Car” is one of the epic, unpredictable road trips revered by travel fanatics around the world. An adventurous yet enlightening trip, from the southern extreme to the northern extreme of the African continent, stretches over 16,000 kilometers. More than a road trip, Cape to Cairo is a thrilling, enriching experience cutting through the length and heart of the African continent, by sensing and absorbing the vibrancy and exuberant ethnicity of Africa to the core, steering through varied terrains.

Shyjo Thayyil Thomas (40) of Kasaragod, Kerala, who is currently residing in Cape Town, South Africa, has received a certificate of appreciation from the most prestigious India Book of Records (IBR), for undertaking an adventurous overland journey from Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt)

by a car. He was 39 years and 11 months old at the time of this journey, in December 2022. The complete journey has been meticulously documented in detail and shown to the world through 80 episodes via his YouTube channel.

Shyjo Thayyil Thomas (40) of Kasaragod, Kerala has got an appreciation letter from the IBR for undertaking an adventurous journey from Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt) by his car.

In a message sent from South Africa, Shyjo Thomas said, “I completed the road trip from Cape to Cairo (South Africa to Egypt), along with my friend Santo Thomas, a renowned travel vlogger. We managed to cover 12 countries in our trip and we are very fortunate to accomplish this tiring mission. We are the first Indians to cover the most challenging route in extreme conditions.”

Both ardent travellers hail from Kerala. While Shyjo Thomas has been practicing as a Nurse in South Africa, Santo Thomas is a renowned international travel vlogger. Both of them embarked on this adventurous journey with great fervor and sheer determination. Santo Thomas captured the soul, the sound, and the sceneries of South Africa through his high-definition camera lens and has created top-notch videos of supreme visual quality and content-centric for the current and future generations.

The duo suggests that before embarking on this journey, you must have a reliable car. Not just any car will work for this road trip, so make sure to choose one that is sturdy, safe, and easily fixable if anything should go wrong. Once you have chosen your noble steed, you should pack it with the essentials. Camping gear, should you need it, enough drinking water, solar or battery-operated torches, and a satellite phone for emergencies. You will need to keep your travel documents with you at all times, especially your passport and any visa information you may need when you cross borders.

“It’s a good idea to keep some spare cash hidden in the car, just in case. In terms of medicine, you will more than likely need to take anti-malaria tablets, but you should also keep insect repellent, mild painkillers, and sunblock on hand. The number one must-have for your journey is a spirit of adventure. Africa is a one-of-a-kind place, and a good sense of humour and a willingness to go with the flow will take you a long way,” said Shyjo.

A monument of matchsticks

Nothing can be said about when a childhood dream will be fulfilled and in what form it will appear. Sometimes such dreams take decades to materialise, as happened with 77-year-old Surendra Kumar Jain, a businessman from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. He read about the Eiffel Tower in a sixth-grade textbook, and its image was forever etched in his mind. The monument became his obsession and he often thought about it. Even 45 years back, he thought of making a model of this tower in his mind. First using cardboard and then thick paper, he tried to create some models, but it did not work. Those models could neither become stable nor attractive.

Jain, who got his name mentioned in the prestigious India Book of Records, had such a passion to see the Eiffel Tower closely and prepare its model that in the year 2013 when he went on a family trip to Europe, he sat under the globally famous Tower for two consecutive days in a row. He looked closely at the tower from every angle and kept staring at it for

The record for making the largest model of the Eiffel Tower using matchsticks was set by Surendra Kumar Jain (77) of Meerut, UP. The model measuring 3 feet x 3 feet x 5 feet was made with over one lakh matchsticks.

hours. Meanwhile, his family members remained busy in the nearby markets and other places of interest. Seeing the fine texture of the mammoth tower, he suddenly felt that why not try matchsticks for the model. On his return to Meerut City, he tried to create a part of the tower by joining matchsticks together. The structure was made by placing the tiny sticks one above

the other, but it was not getting stable. As a result, the structure could not sustain and disintegrated quickly.

Jain is in the golden years of age and his passion for making the model of the Eiffel Tower was such that it had no end. The passion got fueled in the period of the Covid pandemic when everything was shut down and Jain too was sitting at home like everyone else. In those days, he spent one and a half hours to six hours daily giving shape to the model. There was full cooperation of the family and no one was allowed to enter into his room. After three and a half years passed while working in solitude, he started getting success to some extent. This time, to strengthen the tower, he glued about one lakh matchsticks with the help of an adhesive, keeping them close to each other.

Eventually, the five-foot-high model stood on its own, with a base three feet long and three feet wide.

Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, Jain said that he likes to work on new ideas, experiment with food processing machines in his factory and travel a lot. Innovation is his passion. A science graduate from Meerut College, he has travelled to most parts of India and also to Europe, Nepal, Turkey, and China. Jain, who has been closely associated with the Lions Club for over 50 years, says that “one should never give up his/her hobby”. He is now fully satisfied with his recordmaking achievement.
