Dear Readers,

In this year-end issue, we have chosen an exciting tale of expedition for the cover story. India’s first Jimny Owners’ Group – ‘Simply Jimny’ has set a record by successfully reaching the world’s highest motorable road. The convoy left from Panchkula, Haryana on September 16, 2023 and ended its journey at Umling-La Pass in the inaccessible area of Ladakh on September 22. Another group also had the courage to conquer the height of Umling-La Pass, wherein 106 riders from all over the country took part in an expedition. They set a new record by completing the journey of 1003 kilometers in six days. Meanwhile, the third ceremony of Convocation@IBROffice was held successfully, the full report of which we have brought for you. Promising record holders from many states participated in this monthly event. Many of them stunned the audience by showcasing their talent live on stage. This ceremony, organized in the new and grand office premises of India Book of Records, is becoming a matter of curiosity for the record holders, in which people are booking well in advance to participate. Many other interesting stories are included in this issue, such as the case of implanting a pacemaker in the heart of a three-week-old baby. A medical team from Chennai, Tamil Nadu performed this miracle, which is a rare situation. You will also like the story of organizing Tambola for a huge group of women in Ahmedabad. Along with this, you will get to read many other unique records and stories of adventures on the pages inside. Among these, the story of Pune doctors removing a huge adrenal cyst with the help of 3D laparoscopy is also interesting. Some of these stories may encourage you too to create a new record.

Touch the Top mling La Pass is the world’s highest motorable road at 19,024 feet Above Mean Sea Level. It presents a very big challenge for anyone who attempts to reach there. It tests not only physical endurance but also mental tolerance for any individual. As a group of ten Maruti Suzuki Jimny Owners, we wanted to do something that tested not only our physical and mental limits but also the vehicle in which we were planning to go. Successfully reaching the top of the world gave a tremendous boost to our confidence and we wanted to derive a sense of having accomplished something that we would be proud of, says Manik Ahuja, one of the achievers and part of Simply Jimny – the first Jimny Owners’ Group in India. The group created history by setting a new record for being the first

convoy of Maruti Suzuki Jimnys to reach the highest motorable road in the world. The extraordinary feat has been recognized by the India Book of Records (IBR). Going to Umling La Pass is fraught with danger and there are huge risks involved. Treacherous road conditions, extreme weather, lack of oxygen, fatigue, etc. are all big obstacles to overcome on such a journey. The reliability of the vehicle and its ability to work under extremely low air pressure and oxygen are other challenges that need to be overcome. The group faced many of these difficulties on the way, however due to careful planning and execution they were able to avoid many of the health-related issues and were able to make it successfully. The Jimny Owners’ Group convoy started from Panchkula (Haryana)

The experience was great and everybody learned how much they can push themselves and what are their physical and mental limits. Overall I would say it was a fantastic trip that everyone will remember throughout their lives. Thanks to IBR for recognizing our feat.”

India Book of Records | December 2023


A

travel enthusiast, biker, and educationist, Arun Parthiban, the head of strategy at Vels Group of Institutions loves to hit the road and explore untapped territories. He believes that those who seek adventure should not really have a destination in mind. While on his rides, he interacts with the locals and through their stories, makes options for his next trip. He lets the strangers decide the destination, and embarks on his next ride. His journey across thousands of miles has not only taken him across various twists and turns but has also rewarded him with a lot of memories and experiences. Arun has entered the India Book of Records (IBR) for leading an expedition to Umling La, the

highest motorable pass in the world, with a total of 106 riders, starting from south India. Arun Ennum Naan & Friendscribers of India jointly set the record for the maximum riders participating in an expedition to Umling La. The journey which started from Leh crossing Hanle to Umling La, covering the distance of 1003 km in 6 days, on September 14, 2023. Their expedition demonstrated the unyielding spirit of exploration and camaraderie that unites riders from diverse backgrounds in their pursuit of adventure. From a very young age, Arun felt a deep connection with the open road. It was not until his final year in college that he acquired his own bike. This gift ignited a passion for weekend rides, and amid these adventures, life unfolded. Arun’s pursuit of a master’s degree took him to Singapore, briefly putting a pause on his passion. After a six-year hiatus, he came back to his roots. “Riding was a grieving process for me when my dad passed away in 2020. It was from then that I started going on rides that lasted a couple of days, marking a new chapter in my riding endeavor,” he said. Balancing his professional work with his passion for riding, Arun has over 2.5 lakh subscribers on his YouTube channel. “I have honed my skills in team management; I have independent teams reporting to me in my professional space. In fact, having key individuals in your team can help you streamline your workload, and this has been true for me,” he said. Arun treads on journeys to discover uniquely captivating places. He says, “I often come across these hidden gems through conversations

The Unsung Heroes campaign

T

hrombophlebitis is a condition that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, often in the legs. It is an inflammation of the wall of a vein with associated thrombosis, often occurring in the legs during pregnancy. In superficial thrombophlebitis, the vein is near the surface of the skin. In deep vein thrombosis or DVT, the vein is deep within a muscle. DVT increases the risk of serious health problems. Both types of thrombophlebitis can be treated with bloodthinning medications. The record for ‘taking a pledge to prevent Thrombophlebitis by NURSE’ was set by Zydus Healthcare, Mumbai, Maharashtra. The word NURSE was derived from Nurses United for ThRombophlebitiS PrEvention and Care. ‘The Unsung Heroes’ campaign was conducted nationwide from July 14, 2023, to September 14, 2023, to raise awareness about

India Book of Records | December 2023

Thrombophlebitis. Zydus Healthcare, Mumbai created a separate portal www.theunsungheroes-nurses.com. During this period, 6,635 nurses took a solemn oath to prioritize patients’ safety first and proactively work to prevent Thrombophlebitis. The feat was jointly recognized by the prestigious record keepers of the nation – the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR). It is worth mentioning here that a blood clot in a leg vein may cause pain, warmth, and tenderness in the affected area. Causes of thrombophlebitis include trauma, surgery, or prolonged inactivity. Deep vein thrombosis increases the risk of serious health problems. It’s usually treated with blood-thinning medications. Superficial thrombophlebitis is sometimes treated with blood-thinning medications, too. Symptoms of


superficial thrombophlebitis include warmth, tenderness, and pain. A patient might have redness and swelling and see a red, hard cord just under the surface of the skin that is tender to the touch. Symptoms of deep vein thrombosis include swelling, tenderness, and pain in the leg. The awareness campaign highlighted the fact that patients must consult a competent doctor right away if they have a red, swollen, or tender vein, especially if they have one or more risk factors for thrombophlebitis. The patients may have shortness of breath or chest pain, or have other symptoms that may indicate a blood clot traveling to their lungs (pulmonary embolism). Thrombophlebitis is caused by a blood clot. A blood clot can form because of an injury to a vein or from having an inherited disorder that affects how the blood clots. Prevention of this condition was also highlighted during the campaign. It was explained that “sitting during a long flight or car ride can cause your ankles and calves to swell and increases your risk of thrombophlebitis. To help prevent a blood clot -take a walk. If you are flying or riding a train or bus, walk up and down the aisle once an hour or so. If you are driving, stop every hour or so and move around. Move your legs regularly. Flex your ankles, or carefully press your feet against the floor or footrest in front of you at least 10 times each hour. Drink plenty of water or other nonalcoholic fluids to avoid dehydration.”

The founder and national president of the Voice of Media said, “Whatever good is going on, it is going on because of journalism.

Mission Financial Freedom

I

n Indian society, the traditional focus on real estate and gold for investments has shifted towards the capital market in recent years. However, without proper knowledge, many individuals end up facing losses. Educating them is the key to leading them towards financial freedom, and that is where my efforts are concentrated. My mission is to foster financial literacy, providing individuals with the skills and knowledge essential for success in capital markets. My vision revolves around inspiring and guiding individuals, particularly students, in the field of finance, says 39-year-old Nagaraj B, who set an India Book of Record recently for delivering the longest financial lecture by any individual. Nagaraj gave the longest financial lecture of 24 hours starting on September 30, 2023, at 10.45 am and ending on September 31, 2023, at 10.45 am at Thendral Mahal, Podanur, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. He addressed the assembled students and others via YouTube live on a variety of topics such as capital markets, stock trading, and mutual funds. The audience comprises individuals from various categories, including students,

36

India Book of Records | December 2023

housewives, and mostly middle-class people aged 35 and above. This demographic is often seeking stable financial solutions. His goal was to equip individuals with the knowledge needed for better-saving plans with proper growth. Was this attempt made for the sake of the record only? “No, the program was not solely for the purpose of setting a record. It was initially planned as a free financial awareness event, aimed at guiding people towards better financial planning. My primary advice was to avoid treating the stock market as a gamble. Market involvement requires a business-oriented approach, focusing on opportunities rather than luck. I educated participants on the rules to follow for profitable stock trading, including how to select the right company for investment,” said Nagaraj, while talking to the India Book of Records magazine. In the past, fixed deposits were sufficient to beat inflation and lead a normal life in old age. However, with the rise in inflation, people now seek higher returns to counter it, leading to increased interest in the capital market and mutual funds. Nagaraj provides daily lectures of around 5 hours to students on financial literacy. He says, “My purpose is to bring profitable traders into the market. I have been involved in the Indian stock market since 2005. I switched over to technical analysis in 2006 and started teaching in 2009 to bring more profitable traders to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). I started my career in the share

market with losses ranging up to Rs 20 lakh within 6 months. After that, I understood that the share market is not magic, but mathematics. I have used different methods to analyze the market, and finally, after 14 years of research, I found the concept based purely on maths.” Nagaraj’s track record demonstrates a proven ability to effectively analyze and manage stock positions. He is known for his proactive and flexible leadership style, which enables him to meet tight deadlines and motivate teams even in high-pressure situations. One of his key strengths is his ability to set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound financial objectives. He is proficient in creating stock portfolios and possesses exceptional skills in developing trading strategies and coordinating the preparation of tactical plans.

The longest T-10 cricket tournament

T

haneeru Harish Rao (52), former Minister of the Medical, Health, and Finance Department of Telangana, has set the record for the longest T-10 cricket tournament at a single ground. There were 373 teams from all age groups, who played 10 over tournament playoffs, which started on February 23, 2023, and ended on June 24, 2023, at Prof Jaya Shanker Mini Stadium, Siddipet. The achievement was recognized by the India Book of Records (IBR) and Asia Book of Records (ABR) simultaneously. For the uninitiated, T-10 cricket matches have a 10-over-aside format, a duration of 90 minutes, and include two-over Powerplays. In this format, many matches can be played in a day, and tournaments can be played over just a few days. This format is considered appropriate for the Olympics or other major sporting tournaments. The first major tournament for T-10 was played in December 2017 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The tournament was played over four days, with a round-robin followed by semifinals and the final. Thaneeru Harish Rao represented the Siddipet constituency in the Telangana State Assembly from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party. Between 2014 and 2018, Rao served as Minister for Irrigation, Marketing & Legislative Affairs of Telangana. With his win at the 2018 assembly election, Rao became the youngest six-time member of any legislative assembly in India. He was appointed as the Minister of Finance in the cabinet expansion held on September 8, 2019. Later on, he was also appointed minister for Medical, Health, and Family Welfare, on November 9, 2021. Rao was born in Thotapalli village, Karimnagar District in the Velama Community Family, to Satyanarayana Rao and Laxmi Bai. His father was a government employee. He studied at Vaniniketan Paathashala and completed his diploma from Government Polytechnic in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Further,

40

India Book of Records | December 2023

he completed his graduation From Kakatiya University. He started his political journey with Bharat Rashtra Samithi as a youth leader. He was elected to the assembly at the age of 32 from Siddipet and raised his strong voice in the assembly on various issues of the Telangana region. Soon, he became a key member of Bharat Rashtra Samithi and started working as an Internal party strategist. He along with other MLAs resigned as the Congress party delayed the announcement of the bifurcation


of Telangana. He won as MLA with a majority over 58,000 though it was a major setback for the party winning only 7 MLA seats and 2 MP seats out of 17 MLA’s and 4 MP’s contested. In 2009, he was once again elected as MLA from Siddipet constituency with over 60,000 majority. He was elected as a BRS party legislative member. Soon after, he and 10 other members of the BRS resigned from the Legislative Assembly in support of a separate State for Telangana. In July 2010, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh ordered the Election Commission of India to conduct by-polls in Siddipet and other towns across the Telangana region. Harish Rao contested again from Siddipet defeating opponent Babu Mohan, from the Telugu Desam Party, yet again.

The record for the longest T-10 cricket tournament at a single ground was set by Thanneeru Harish Rao Garu (52), a politician serving as the Minister of Medical, Health and Finance of Siddipet, Telangana. It was played at Siddipet Mini Stadium.

The infant gets a pacemaker

A

team of doctors from Chennai successfully implanted a permanent pacemaker in an infant weighing less than one kilogram. With only three such reported cases worldwide, this was the fourth successful surgery to be documented. The surgery was performed by a team of doctors from Sooriya Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, headed by Dr Deepa Hariharan, Senior Consultant, Neonatologist, and Paediatrician, Sooriya Hospital. At the time of implant, the baby was 3 weeks and 6 days old on June 6, 2019. The baby was born prematurely on May 10, 2019, weighing 900 grams, and had a congenital heart block. Having been born with a low heartbeat rate, the baby required resuscitation and life-support measures as soon as it was born. In the process, Dr Deepa set a record for implanting a pacemaker in the heart of the smallest baby. The feat was recognized by the record keeper of the nation – India Book of Records (IBR). Dr Deepa recalled, “When the baby was brought to us, it had an extremely low heartbeat rate - about 55 to 60 per minute, whereas the normal rate is 150 to 160 per minute. In the following three weeks, we gave supportive treatment for lung growth, maintenance of heart

42

India Book of Records | December 2023

function, and nutrition. Despite this, the baby’s weight and health progressively deteriorated. The heartbeat rate dropped to 40 per minute, which is extremely low and causes severe complications such as cardiac arrest. Following this, the doctors were left with no choice but to implant a permanent pacemaker. There have only been three such prior surgeries. Considering this, the technical and surgical expertise about this procedure is very limited.”


To understand the intricacies of this surgery, the doctors got in touch with surgeons from abroad who had performed this procedure and had also informed the family about the complications that might arise. However, the surgery was not an easy one, say doctors. As the baby was very small, the pacemaker could not be accommodated in the lungs and had to be implanted in the abdomen, with wires connecting the pacemaker to the heart. Following the success of the surgery, the doctors were then faced with postoperative complications such as fluid accumulation in the chest and brain. As the baby’s digestive system was not completely developed at that time, the doctors had to supplement its nutrition intake through injections. Subsequently, the baby gained weight and was removed from the ventilator after 70 days. At the time of discharge, the baby was on oral feed and weighed 2.7 kg. However, such cases are extremely rare. “In this case, the baby’s mother had been diagnosed with lupus, an auto-immune disease. While premature birth and its associated complications were earlier caused due to high blood pressure, diabetes, and stress in the past, premature birth due to auto-immune diseases is increasing in the country. This trend is common in the West. But, of late, we are observing this in our country,” says Dr Deepa. While the reasons for auto-immune diseases are unknown,

they could be partly attributed to genetic factors and lifestyle. Creating awareness of lupus, related premature births, and the lack of adequate technical and surgical expertise in India is of utmost importance.

The record for implanting a pacemaker in the heart of the smallest baby was set by Dr Deepa Hariharan of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. She successfully led a team of doctors to implant a pacemaker in the heart of a 3-week and 6-dayold baby.

Removal of a

watermelon sized tumor

India Book of Records | December 2023


A

58-year-old foreign national with nagging back pain and vomiting episodes got a new life after doctors at a Pune hospital used a minimally invasive technique to remove a watermelon-sized adrenal tumor, the cause of all her miseries. The surgeons removed the giant tumor through three tiny incisions, one of 10 mm diameter and two others of 5 mm diameter each. Experts said most adrenal cysts or tumors are less than 10 cm in diameter and are usually discovered incidentally. “The massive tumor was tightly adherent to the left kidney, spleen, pancreas, and large intestine. We removed the mass using a 3D laparoscopy technique, which has set a record,” said Ace Hospital’s senior surgeon Dr Suresh Patankar, who led the team. In India, tumors up to 21 cm in size have been removed by laparoscopy method. The tumor removed by Dr Patankar and his team was 23 cm in length. It was recorded as the biggest adrenal cyst (tumor) removed using 3D laparoscopy in India so far. The achievement found a proud place in the prestigious Asia Book of Records (ABR). The doctors in Nigeria, where the patient stays, had advised the woman to undergo surgery in 2010. She, however, kept delaying the surgery out of fear. When her condition did not show any signs of improvement, she decided to seek medical treatment in India. The 58-year-old patient chose Pune as one of her relatives was treated at the same hospital in the past. “The tumor was 15 cm in size when detected in Nigeria in 2010. It grew to 23 cm in size and occupied more than half of her abdomen. It took the team four-and-a-half hours to remove the mass. In most such surgeries, the adrenal gland has to be removed

A Team of Doctors in Pune set a record for removing the largest adrenal cyst by laparoscopy. The team had done a critical surgery on a 58-year-old female foreign patient who was suffering from an adrenal gland as part of the largest cyst. too. But we managed to preserve it,” said Dr Patankar. Three liters of cyst fluid were removed from the massive tumor. The patient recovered completely within four days after the surgery and was discharged home. Besides persistent back pain and vomiting, she had hypertension, which also settled down after the removal of the tumor. The team had senior doctors including Dr Gururaj R Padasalagi, Dr Mayur Narkhede, Dr Kashinath Vasant Thakare, and anesthetist Dr Sonali Vaste. It is worth mentioning that Adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. These glands produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, the immune system, blood pressure, response to stress, and other essential functions. Adrenal glands are composed of two parts -- the cortex and the medulla, which are each responsible for producing different hormones. When adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, this can lead to adrenal insufficiency, termed Addison’s disease. Adrenal glands may develop nodules that can be benign or malignant, which can potentially produce excessive amounts of certain hormones leading to various health issues. An adrenal gland is made of two main parts. The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of an adrenal gland. It is divided into three separate zones -- zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Each zone is responsible for producing specific hormones. The adrenal medulla is located inside the adrenal cortex in the center of an adrenal gland. It produces stress hormones, including adrenaline.

Glaucoma Awareness Campaign G

laucoma, a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of the eye called the optic nerve, has no cure, but early treatment can often stop the damage and protect the vision. There are many types of glaucoma, but the most common type is called open-angle glaucoma — that is what most people mean when they talk about glaucoma. Other types are less common, like angle-closure glaucoma and congenital glaucoma. Doctors use different types of treatment for glaucoma, including medicines, usually eye drops, laser treatment, and surgery. If someone has the problem of glaucoma, it is important to start treatment right away. Treatment would not undo any damage to the vision, but it can stop it from getting worse. Awareness among common people regarding the disease can play a crucial role in containing the problem. In a bid to create awareness about the disease, Micro Vision, a Division of Micro Labs Ltd Karnataka, established a record for organizing the largest awareness campaign on Glaucoma disease. The campaign which commenced on March 8, 2023, and concluded on March 18, 2023, witnessed the participation of a total of 2,22,512 people at 1973 eye care clinics and hospitals across the nation. The mass activity for eye protection and creating awareness set a record under the banner of the prestigious Asia Book of Records (ABR). The eye specialists serving in different parts of India told the visiting patients that symptoms can start so slowly that one may not notice them immediately. The only way to find out if one has glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. At first, glaucoma does not usually have any symptoms. That is why half of people with glaucoma do not even know they have it. Over time, they may slowly lose vision, usually starting with side or peripheral vision -- especially the part of the vision that is closest to the nose. Because it happens so slowly, many people cannot tell that their vision is changing at first. But as the disease gets worse, they

46

India Book of Records | December 2023

may start to notice that they cannot see things off to the side anymore. Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually cause blindness. It is important to learn that anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are at higher risk. People are at higher risk if they


are over age 60, and have a family history of glaucoma. In case of doubt, talk with the doctor about the risk for glaucoma, and ask how often the eye check is necessary. If someone is at higher risk, he/she needs to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam every 1 to 2 years. Scientists are not sure what causes the most common types of glaucoma, but many people with glaucoma have high eye pressure and treatments that lower eye pressure help to slow the disease. Eye doctors can check for glaucoma as part of a comprehensive dilated eye exam. The test is simple and painless; the doctor will give you some eye drops to dilate or widen the pupil and then check the eyes for glaucoma and other eye problems. The exam includes a visual field test to check the side vision.

Micro Vision, a division of Micro Labs Ltd. Karnataka, set a record for organizing the largest awareness campaign on Glaucoma disease. The campaign which concluded on March 18, witnessed the participation of a total of 2,22,512 people.
