Air India created a world record while also celebrating International Women’s Day with aplomb. The Delhi-San Francisco flight was operated on this day with an all-woman crew. From pilots to cabin crew and check-in staff to ground operators and flight despatchers, all were women. This unique flight epitomises the respect the national carrier accords to women. To commemorate this occasion, 20 other flights were also operated with an all-woman crew.

Our mission to provide better linkage of the nation with the rest of the world continues unabated. This month, from April 6, Delhi gets linked to Vienna three times a week with a non-stop flight aboard one of the finest flying machines ever built - the Dreamliner. Vienna, the city of music, is unique, as it will provide connections to more than 25 European destinations. We have also launched regular weekly night charter flights on the Kolkata-Port Blair route to enhance regional connectivity and benefit islanders by improving connectivity to and from the mainland.

And during this month and the next, we intend to widen our domestic reach through evening flights linking Bhopal with Mumbai, Delhi with Vijaywada, Mumbai with Bhavnagar, and Mumbai with Hubli, besides additional frequencies to Pune and Dehradun.

Simhastha, the Kumbh Mela held in the holy city of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, the heart of Incredible India, will start on April 22 and end on May 21 this year. Earlier known as Ujjaini, the ancient city is also known as the city of ancient temples, the city of faith, the city of Vikramaditya and the city of time, or “kaal”. Also known as the abode of the Mahakaal, a visit to this city is an experience of a lifetime, and what better way than to visit it during the holy Simhastha, which witnesses one of the largest religious congregations of humanity. Air India will be running additional flights to Indore during the festival.

Our drive towards achieving excellence in all that we do continues unabated. Yes, we realise there are issues your national carrier is plagued with, yet I am confident that with the support of our passengers and the commitment of Air Indians, we will overcome all the shortcomings and once again rule the skies. My humble request to you is to freely share your experiences - good or bad - as that will be inspiration and cause enough for us to strive to improve our services. Bon Voyage!

@airindiain you are the king of the skies, another 2 trips, impeccable timing, , great food, best in class everything, Air India Rules !! lR;kUos"kh@askskt Good experience on #AI115 flight frm #Delhi to #London. Good aircraft, good service, Good going @airindiain #787dreamliner @BoeingAirplanes Vikas Dhir@vikas_dhir

As a fortnightly flyer glad to share positive experience on @airindiain AI619. Nice food, pleasant crew, smooth landing. Venkatram @venkatramb1969 @airindiain Great to have helpful staff like Hariom Sharma - Asst Manager at Air India Rajkot who make flying a pleasure. Preeti@PreetiPuriSharm

Another journey of the soul we undertake in this issue is with noted author and poet Gulzar, who takes us on a literary trip from his early days in old Delhi to his present in Bollywood.

@airindiain My 1st time with AI, had great experience. Incredible Air India DeadManInc.@rocknrohit

This month, we eat to our heart's content at Puducherry's cafés, leap with joy in Australia's Kangaroo Island, chase the striped lord at Maharashtra's Tadoba tiger reserve and revel in the mysteries of Meghalaya with actor Purab Kohli. We also bring you five spectacular spots in the Himalayas to hike to, where star-spangled skies come down to meet pristine green vales. A soul trek, we would call it!

Highly impressed by @airindiain special handling. Phone calls to check in, ask seat preference before flight & ensure timely boarding. Khilen Shah@khilenvshah

Flying @airindiain always makes me pack that much more (in fact 10 odd kgs. more) -- only domestic carrier that has 25KG baggage allowance! Vijay@catchvijju

My Gita

By Devdutt Pattanaik, Rupa Publications, 256 pages, `295

books

This book is the author’s contemporary demystification of one of the most revered Hindu scriptures. The theme-based presentation is interesting, as is the suggestion that the Gita serves as a householder’s doctrine by trying to balance the material and the austere. The metaphor-heavy writing style could, however, make the ideas a little difficult to understand at times.

Before We Visit the Goddess

By Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Simon & Schuster, 240 pages, `499 In this novel, Divakaruni tells the tale of three women wrestling with their desire for education juxtaposed with family obligations and romantic tangles. The story of a woman who, having never met her granddaughter, writes to her about a key life decision, is engaging, as is the description of the erosion of culture over time. However, the shift in perspective from that of the three leading ladies to secondary characters can be a little distracting.

By Yann Martel, Hachette India, 304 pages, `699 This tale continues in Martel’s style of intertwining unimaginable scenarios with scarcely believable characters. The author serves us three interlocking tales, as diverse as a protagonist’s search for lost treasure, a “ghostly” drowned wife, and the adoption of an ape to get over the loss of a spouse. The exuberant play of words gels well with the vivid storytelling, though the slow pace of two of the three stories could get disconcerting.

When cancer hit Ananda Shankar Jayant, she refused to give in to the ‘melodrama.’ Instead, she carried on with her dancing. Team Shubh Yatra salutes her courage

However, it is her humility that shines through as she dismisses the idea with her ready smile and says, “I have miles to go before I can be called one.”

A Padma Shri recipient, renowned classical dancer and choreographer, and the first woman officer to join the Indian Railway Traffic Services in South Central Railway, Shankar Jayant’s relationship with dance began at the early age of 4. By 17, she had begun teaching dance in Hyderabad. “Guiding aspirants at my dance institute in Chennai, Shankarananda Kalakshetra, rejuvenates me,” she says. But dance has a bigger role to play in her life. When Shankar Jayant was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was the strength, courage and determination she drew from dance that gave her the will to fight it. She continued to dance, teach, choreograph, travel and perform on tour, even as her treatment continued. “I conducted and presented a five-day dance festival at Sangeet Natak Akademi within three weeks of my surgery,” she says. “I had decided to tune out of cancer and into dance. My biggest advice to others is to resist giving in to the melodrama,” she stresses.

The artiste now balances her dance practice with a career in the Railways, infusing it with the harmony, aesthetics and egalitarianism that characterise the art world. “I balance office with early-morning dance rehearsals, and travel on weekends to perform. Nothing can keep me away from dance,” she says. Along with being a Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi dancer, she has also emerged as a sought-after motivational speaker. “Dance to me is both a spiritual journey and a tool for communication,” she says.

The Kumbh Mela has its origins deep in Indian mythology and legend - but specifically in the Vedic Agnicayana ritual performed on the plains of the river Ganges about 3,000 years ago.

Off to Ujjain

History Some say the first official mention of the Kumbh Mela has been traced to the 17th-century Persian document Khulasat-utTawarikh by Sujan Rai. The credit of hosting the mela in Ujjain for the first time, in the 18th century, rests with the Maratha ruler Ranoji Shinde, who invited to his kingdom hermits gathered in Trimbak (near Nashik) for the Kumbh Mela there. Indian rulers have long known how festivals and pilgrimages not only give kingdoms a legitimacy but also boost the local economy.

Royalty and mythology According to the Mahabharata, Ujjain is 3,000 years old. Also called Ujjaini, it was ruled by King Vikramaditya and Ashoka, and famous poet Kalidasa penned his poetry here. Mythology says the first meridian passes through Ujjain, marking the city as the universal time coordinate. Thus, Ujjain is also known as the city of kaal or time. Ujjain is unique as the jyotirlinga and the shaktipeeth are both found in the same place, representing a grand communion of Shiva and Shakti. Among the 12 jyotirlingas, the Mahakal has been considered the adhipati aadidev of Ujjain. What's Simhastha? Every 12 years, when Jupiter "enters" Aquarius, or kumbh, the Kumbh Mela is held. And when Jupiter "enters" Leo, or simha, the Simhastha in Ujjain is held.

1. Devotees gather on the banks of the Kshipra river during the Ujjain Kumbh Mela in 2004. The most important ghat is Ram Ghat 2. A devotee takes a dip in the river. Legend says Ujjain is one of the seven holy cities of India that grant moksha or liberation from the cycle of birth and death

prosperity to the performer of the ritual. But by the time the Puranas were written, about 2,000 years ago, the kumbh containing the nectar of immortality, amrita, had to be churned out from the ocean of milk by two sets of Lord Brahma’s children - the devas and the asuras. The asuras tried to take it by force, the devas obtained it by trickery, and in the ensuing fight, drops of the nectar fell at Haridwar, Nashik, Prayag (Allahabad) and Ujjain, its powers manifesting depending on the location of the planet Jupiter in the zodiac.

The river Kshipra, on the banks of which Simhastha is held (this year April 22-May 21), heralds back to the tale of Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The story goes that Shiva wrenched off Brahma’s fifth head in a fit of rage, but the skull stuck to his palm and could only be removed by a river of blood. So Lord Vishnu asked Lord Shiva to strike

...A smart city today Located on the banks of Kshipra, Ujjain’s potential was limited to spiritual significance for long, but the phenomenal and well-planned progress witnessed by the city in the last decade has fostered its potential as a promising new city on the progressive map of new India. Ujjain is one of the 100 cities shortlisted under the Government of India's flagship Smart City programme. Located near the state's commercial capital Indore, Ujjain has naturally benefited from the shift in real estate growth to Tier-3 cities. The abundant availability of land, proximity to industrial areas like Dewas, increasing demand of residential and commercial units have sparked a real estate boom in the city. A clean city today, Ujjain has swanky hotels, malls, a planned transport system, and medical facilities. It is also an educational epicentre.

him on his head and out flowed a river of blood that cleansed Lord Shiva of his sin and released the skull from his palm. This river is said to have become the Kshipra, or the purifier. The 18th-century Kaal Bhairaav temple, on the banks of the river, harks back to this tale in its worship of Lord Shiva, the guardian deity of Ujjain.

A key part of the festival’s rituals is bathing in the waters of the Kshipra, but only after the sanyasis (hermits) have bathed in it. Legend has it that these ascetics exchanged ideas on river banks. These were marked by astronomical events that later became open to the public and came to be known as the Kumbh Mela. There are so many myths swirling around that we may never know how it all started, but the Kumbh Mela showcases the grandeur of a festival that celebrates time and space, the alignment of planets and the life-giving waters of a river. In simple words, it can be described as a bath to wash sins away, to purify the soul, and to reboot.

Celebrity couturier Manish Malhotra’s first Indian heritage weave collection is in the spirit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India initiative, says Riaan Jacob George

He has always had a special place in his heart for Indian textiles, he says, and wants to make Benarasi and bandhni an international fashion phenomenon. What inspired you to design a collection with only traditional Indian fabrics? The idea was born during a showcase of my work at Mukesh Ambani’s residence. It was a collection created with bandhni fabrics from Gujarat, and my hosts suggested I experiment more with Gujarati music and crafts. I was also thinking about working with Benarasi weaves. It seemed like a perfect idea to merge the two. And the collection Regal Threads was born. A trip to Varanasi reinforced the idea.

The collection is all about handwoven textiles from Varanasi and Gujarat

What’s special about the fabrics used in the collection? I have only used Benarasi and bandhni fabrics. Every inch of fabric used in the Regal Threads collection has been curated by me and specially sourced from weavers in Varanasi and Gujarat. Later this year, I am opening a store in London and hope to take these garments there. I want to make Benarasi and bandhni international. For example, the lehenga skirts in my collection can be worn as both a lehenga and a skirt. But this isn’t the first time you are working with traditional Indian fabrics, is it? It has been four years I’ve been working with Kashmiri craftspeople. I started work with 50 Kashmiri women, and now we employ more than 200. I have been planning to design a collection with heritage Indian textiles. Now, with the spotlight on Make in India, my collection fits in perfectly. I just returned from Andhra Pradesh, where my summer collection is based. There I discovered that cotton is more expensive than silk because there are such few cotton weavers left. Sometimes, the weavers take 45 to 50 days to weave a sari, and then they don’t always get good prices. Their children don’t want to join the trade and the art’s existence is under threat. I hope the Indian fashion industry is able to revive traditional weaves. That’s why I am celebrating it. I want people to start wearing traditional fabrics at weddings, mehendi and sangeet.

I hope Make in India becomes a success in the field of textiles. Right now, several fashion designers are promoting Indian fabrics aggressively. For me, it’s a fascinating journey. This year it is going to be all about Indian textiles for me.

The makhmali kofta, made with paneer, has a centre filled with fresh beetroot. This tweak makes the dish healthier and adds a dash of colour

A Healthy change The new Delhi-Vienna in-flight menu has been designed light. There are almost no oily gravies, deep-fried snacks have been replaced with grilled ones, and the use of dry fruits in Indian dishes has been reduced. In the makhmali kofta, the usual filling of cashew nuts has been done away with in favour of fresh beetroot. It’s a perfect example of how a low-calorie dish can be created without tampering with authentic flavours. Even lentil dishes (above) have lighter tadkas.

As the flight will depart from Delhi in the afternoon, the service will begin with hot appetisers, including salt and pepper prawns, tandoori chicken with a special filling, tandoori aloo and salt and pepper mushroom, along with a choice of liquor. This will be followed by dinner, which will include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare. For in-between snacking, there will be fruits, cookies and sandwiches. In the Indian vegetarian platter, one can enjoy Awadhi paneer, pulao, mushroom matar, makhmali kofta with saffron rice, masala bhindi, yellow and black dal and kadhi, among others. A highlight will be the beans poriyal topped with freshly grated coconut, served with rice and a comforting chicken stew. For those who prefer vegetarian Continental cuisine, there will be fresh salads and an exciting selection of pastas with stir-fried vegetables, among other choices.

In dessert, the choices are many. If you want Indian, there is rice kheer or gulab jamun. In global fare, you can either opt for the popular Austrian chocolate cake Sachertorte, or the delicious passion fruit or blueberry cheesecakes (above).

choco Vienna A trip to Vienna is incomplete without a taste of Sachertorte, a unique chocolate cake said to have been invented by Austrian Franz Sacher in 1832 for Prince Wenzel von Metternich in Vienna. It is so famous that December 5 is celebrated as the National Sachertorte Day in Austria. A secret recipe is the basis of the chocolate cake, thinly coated by apricot jam, topped with chocolate icing and served with unsweetened whipped cream.

For a lighter meal, opt for the fresh salad. Olives, cherry tomatoes and corn keep up the healthy balance table dum-cooked bhatti ka murg, with a sprinkling of spices. In an interesting twist of taste, the menu will also include grilled jumbo prawns with roasted dhania seeds, and sesame- and coriandercrumbed bekti fish steak served with a light saffron sauce. In non-vegetarian global fare, the spotlight will be on sole fish infused with lemon zest and herbs, wrapped in zucchini slices and chicken stuffed with ricotta and spinach.

The Eolab grabs eyeballs even before you look under its bonnet! With a body made of steel and aluminium, and a 4.5kg magnesium roof, the car, based on a hatchback design, is very light indeed - just under 1,000 kg. ZE hybrid technology marries a one-litre petrol engine to an electric motor, giving the Eolab a 60-km range just on electric power, and a stingy appetite for petrol at only one litre for every 100 km travelled. It’s eco-friendly too - CO2 emissions are impressively low, at just 22 g/km. The Eolab may never make it to production, but cues from it are likely to be seen in other production Renaults by 2020.

The Prius has for years been the first car that comes to mind when you think hybrid. And the newest, fourth-generation model seeks to continue exactly that. Unveiled to the world in September 2015, the car uses an improved chassis design that lends it better stability, ride quality and handling. The engine is still a 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol unit; it sips less petrol now, though, and its thermal efficiency beats all other mass-produced petrol engines. Along with this, there’s a 72 PS electric motor, with a new nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery that saves in-car space by being positioned under the rear seats. The car’s regenerative braking system charges the battery whenever the brakes are applied. Fuel economy is estimated at 40 km/l and electric-only range at around 50 km. The Prius could be launched in India by the end of 2016, and is likely to be imported into India via the completely-built-up (CBU) route.

Nissan X-Trail Hybrid

Nissan’s X-Trail returns to India in hybrid form with the X-Trail Hybrid making its India debut recently. The five-seater SUV is powered by a two-litre MR20DD petrol engine producing 147 PS and a RM31 electric motor making 42 PS and the combined performance is claimed to rival that of a typical 2.5-litre petrol engine. In this intelligently-designed system, the engine regenerates electricity for the electric motor, and also allows high-speed electric-mode driving. The hybrid system may take some getting used to, because the car starts up in full electric mode when first cranked up, and switches to petrol mode upwards of 20-30 kmph. Fuel economy is estimated at 20.6 km/l for the front-wheel-drive configuration and 20 km/l for all-wheel-drive. Nissan announced that the X-Trail Hybrid would be launched in 2016, and India will be only the fourth market to get this SUV.

Chirayu Medical College & Hospital, Bhopal

travel for health Central India is fast becoming a popular destination on India's medical tourism map, says NB Rao ABOUT half a dozen cities in central India have emerged on the medical tourism map, attracting patients from other parts of the country and across the globe too. Cities such as Indore, Bhopal and Gwalior (in Madhya Pradesh) and Raipur, Bhilai and Bilaspur (in Chhattisgarh) boast of hospitals and medical facilities that are as good as, if not better than, similar institutions in the metros.

Central India has made its presence felt on the medical tourism map of India, with an increase in the number of foreign patients arriving here for treatment. The rise has been due to the availability of world-class medical technologies, cost-effective services and a growing compliance with international quality standards. Dr Kuldeep Saxena, Cosmazone, Gwalior (MP)

diagnostics, dental services, cosmetic treatment, infertility treatment, eyecare and a plethora of healthcare services. The hospitals are staffed with highly-qualified surgeons, physicians, general practitioners and dentists and ably supported by professional nurses, physiotherapists and technicians. Services offered range from routine knee and hip replacement to cardiac and open-heart surgeries and even complicated liver and bone marrow transplants. Interestingly, most of these facilities offer tertiary medical services at costs that are not only a fraction of other international cities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including London, New York, Frankfurt, Singapore and Bangkok â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but are also reasonable when compared to similar treatments in Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai.

infocus central india Not surprisingly, many of these hospitals have reported an upsurge in domestic and international medical tourist inflows. Quite a few of the hospitals are attached to medical colleges and offer excellent treatment. A large number of these are also accredited and have laid strong emphasis on the quality of treatment that they provide.

Now beat baldness painlessly with hair transplantation through Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

While hair loss is not life threatening, studies show that baldness can lead to feelings of shame, depression, frustration, helplessness and anger. It can also result in feelings of sexual inadequacy and loss of self-confidence. However, now an appropriate combination of USFDA-approved medication and the latest hair restoration techniques offers an Dr Kuldeep Saxena and Dr Deepali excellent solution to Saxena’s book FUE Hair Transplantation hair loss problems, says - Major Procedure, Minor Incision, Dr Kuldeep Saxena, a is a compilation of their 15 years of member of the scienexperience in the field. It was released in the US tific team at Cosmazone. Though baldness is mainly due to hereditary reasons, medical conditions like thyroid (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism), hormonal imbalance, alopecia areata, scalp infections, other skin disorders, and autoimmune conditions may also cause baldness. Medications used to treat cancer, arthritis, depression and heart problems also cause hair loss. Hair-pulling disorder and certain hairstyles are also to blame. Treatment involves a combination of science, evidence and fine surgical skills to customise the therapy to suit individual patient requirements and lifestyles. Also, oral administration of USFDA-approved medications like finesteride and topical application of minoxidil are prescribed. However, many patients do not respond to these medicines. Hair transplant using platelet rich plasma (PRP) and advanced FUE therapy is a recent innovation. While PRP is an advanced therapy where the patient’s blood is processed to extract a high concentration of platelets rich in the patient’s own growth factors and injected at appropriate areas to induce hair regrowth, advanced FUE technique beats baldness without stitches by transplanting hair from the back area and body. PRP does not respond well in areas of complete baldness, and advanced FUE is an ideal solution. Any person above 23 can opt for a hair transplant procedure, which is performed under local anesthesia.

For 34-year-old Prashant Jerath, founder of Jerath Path Labs, the willingness to experiment and faith in oneself are essential to success

The Kalda Institute specialises in cosmetic surgical treatments for various conditions Not all of us are blessed enough to be picture perfect in looks, either from birth or acquired due to other reasons. For such persons, the magic of a plastic and cosmetic surgeon can bring a new lease of life, helping them to regain their normal social life.

The journey of Jerath Labs started four years back when 34-year-old immunologist Dr Prashant Jerath established the chain's first diagnostics centre in Jalandhar. Jerath Path Labs has since focussed on introducing the latest technology in laboratory testing and on offering the most advanced diagnostic facilities. His motto in life is to observe and act. The willingness to experiment and to have faith in one's own ability is, he believes, the secret to success. Jerath obtained his degree in pathology from the Government Medical College in Chandigarh. A member of the Indian College of Allergy, Asthma and Applied Immunology, Jerath is also the Head of Department (immunology and cancer) at the Oswal Cancer Hospital, Ludhiana. Right from the beginning of his medical studies, when most students were gunning for medicine, surgery and ophthalmology, Jerath wanted to be a pathologist and open his own diagnostics centre. Initially, he had to face a lot of challenges, as there were many multinational names in the industry. But, with the sheer force of willpower and dedication, Jerath built a platform for himself, and today Jerath Path Labs has more than 18 centres all over northern India, with plans to expand to Maharashtra and Gujarat, and even to the UAE. With fully-automated modern equipment, Jerath Path Labs offers quality, comprehensive rapid-response laboratory testing at affordable prices. It offers screening, diagnosis and prognosis testing services to physicians, nursing homes, companies and various other institutions in India.

AAdhAAr DECODED

Launched in 2009 with the objective to give every Indian resident a unique identity, Aadhaar is your passport to a Digital India

autham Ramachandran was stranded with his family at Chennai’s Koyembedu Bus Stand during recent floods without any money. He lost his ATM card and bank branches were also not operational in the flooded city of Chennai. What came to his rescue was his Aadhaar number. “I never knew Aadhaar was so powerful. I just remembered my 12 digit Aadhaar number, which facilitated me withdraw money from my account, with help of a bank official in one of the mobile ATM. Thank God, I have linked my bank account with Aadhaar number, else it would have not been possible. I saw many cases where bank officials could not extend any help, since bank account of an individual was not linked with the Aadhaar.” said Gautham. Be it the success of delivering pension benefits to pensioners by issuing Jeevan Pramaan or life certificates based on biometric authentication or the ease of transferring LPG cash subsidies directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries or facilitating doorstep payments of various welfare schemes to people in the hinterland, Aadhaar has proved to be a useful tool in the development of contemporary India – the Digital India; and is indeed one of the major success story of development and financial management that India can tell to the world with pride on a global platform.

What iS aadhaar? Aadhaar is a 12-digit Unique Identification Number and its uniqueness is ensured through the process of biometric deduplication, i.e. cross checking fingerprint scans, iris scans, and photograph of enrolled person against all existing data in UIDAI’s database.

it is different from existing identities Aadhaar is a nationally accepted Unique Identification Number with provisions for easy and secure online verification “anytime, anywhere”. Hence, it helps in identifying the genuine beneficiaries while removing duplicates and fake beneficiaries from the database of various Government welfare schemes. This was not possible with any other existing proxy identities like the Driving License, Voter ID Card, Passport, Ration Card, etc. Aadhaar cannot be issued to a person more than once, as the uniqueness of this number is achieved through individual’s biometrics. The 12-digit Aadhaar number which is generated with minimal basic demographic data (name, gender, date of birth, father/mother/husband’s name and address) and biometric data (photograph, fingerprints and iris scans) offers an online, real-time authentication service which empowers residents to prove “who they say, they are” without restricting their identity to any physical document. Hence, Aadhaar is unique, portable, online verifiable and PanIndia proof of identity of an Aadhaar holder.

It is the only identity that remains unchanged for an individual from cradle to grave. Any change in the demographic data of an individual can be updated with UIDAI but the Aadhaar number is lifelong and never changes. Aadhaar eligibility Any individual, irrespective of age and gender, who is a resident in India and satisfies the verification process laid down by the UIDAI, can enrol for Aadhaar on a voluntary basis. An individual needs to enrol only once and the enrolment is free of cost. In case, the resident enrols more than once, ONLY ONE AADHAAR shall be generated. Any individual residing in India for more than 182 days is eligible for Aadhaar. Interestingly, even a one day old infant is eligible for enrolment but any of the parents of the newborn should have Aadhaar. information collected during enrolment UIDAI collects basic information of residents including their name, date of birth, gender, father’s/husband’s/ guardian’s name, mother’s/wife’s/ guardian’s name, address, a photograph,

However, children need to visit their nearest enrolment centre at the age of 5 and 15 years to update their photo and biometric records. It is desirable that every Aadhaar holder/enroller should register his/her mobile number and email id with Aadhaar database for better communication facility and to receive OTP during authentication. The information/ data given to UIDAI during enrolment of Aadhaar is encrypted by the Enrolment Client software then and there, even before saving it to any hard disk. This encryption is of best international standards and thus, not only ensures privacy of an individual but also ascertains security of the data. Aadhaar system collects no data related to caste, religion, economic status, bank account details, etc. about residents and has no linkage to any other database such as PAN card, passport, driving license, etc. It does not track or collect data about any day-to-day transactions or activities of individuals such as banking, travel, hospital visits, etc. data security The entire Aadhaar data is stored and secured within the Central Identities Data

This not only secures data with best world class technological tools but also protects privacy of every Aadhaar holder. No agency has access to the information in the UID database. UIDAI answers requests to authenticate identity only through a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ response. No personal identity information is returned as part of the response, except when e-KYC request is sent by the resident himself/herself. Moreover, the CIDR has been notified as the “Protected System” under the Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) and UIDAI has been awarded ISO 27001 Certification for Information Security. Benefits of Aadhaar One major benefit that Aadhaar facilitates in the life of an individual is his/her financial inclusion. Aadhaar, therefore, can be used as one’s permanent ‘Financial Address’. In order to enable Aadhaar as the financial address, UIDAI in partnership with National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) has developed two products-

Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS) and Aadhaar enabled Payments System (AePS) - which benefit both public and private entities in delivering benefits to the end consumer/beneficiary. These products facilitate convenience of peoplecentric hassle-free governance by directly transferring the subsidies/benefits of social welfare schemes to the beneficiaries' accounts and, also, enable delivery of services to the beneficiary residing in the remotest area of the country. This Aadhaar- enabled scenario has led to:  Curbing leakages through targeted delivery, especially in cases where identity needs to be confirmed before services/

benefits delivery. For instance, subsidized food and kerosene delivery through PDS, wage payments under MGNERGS, etc.  Improving efficacy and efficiency of disbursement system/s with Aadhaar platform by providing greater information visibility up to the last mile and effective utilization of scarce development funds.

 Performance enhancement of administrative staff with improved monitoring and lesser intermediaries’ deployment for delivery of payments/ services. Aadhaar is being the world’s largest biometric based unique identification system that provides online authentication services anywhere, anytime and is so robust and vast that it can handle as much as 100 million authentication requests a day. Even the US Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) biometric database with just 15 crore biometrics, is way behind Aadhaar. Aadhaar is one of the biggest transformational tool of India socially and economically. Not surprisingly, Aadhaar with its four properties of Uniqueness, Authentication, Financial Address and e-KYC, provides a way for the Government of India to directly reach residents of the country at their doorstep with subsidies/benefits/services. This perhaps has obligated Mr. Jim Yong Kim, the World Bank President (in 2013) to call Aadhaar as “the greatest poverty killer app we’ve ever seen”. However, there have been some concerns expressed by the civil society regarding privacy and security of sensitive personal data. The Government of India has appropriately tried to address these concerns to a large extent with the Aadhaar Act, 2016 passed in the Parliament in March, 2016. In fact, Aadhaar with its online anytimeanywhere authentication service is your passport to a Digital India. It’s up to the people of India to make it work towards improved financial inclusion and empowerment of all.

Dr Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Director General & Mission Director, UIDAI, educates us about Aadhaar and how it proves to be an efficient tool for good governance Aadhaar has emerged as the largest biometric identification programme in the world. How do you view this as success for India globally? Indeed, this is an important milestone for India. Today we have more than 99.7 crore people with Aadhaar in India. The uniqueness of this success lies in the fact that it is the largest public owned identity platform on the planet, created for the benefit of people. No other country has an online identity platform of this scale. In fact many identity platform such as Gmail IDs, Facebook IDs and Skype IDs, with the scale of demographic data equal to that in Aadhaar, are owned privately. At UIDAI, we have safeguarded the privacy of an individual and secured the data with one of the most advanced protection systems backed by law existing in any country today. Demographic and biometric data given by resident during enrolment become immediately inaccessible as they get encrypted at the point of capture, and the system just authenticates the data requested for with a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’. Interestingly, no such protection is available in many existing identity systems. In short, with Aadhaar, we have laid the foundation for a developed India. It will boost the growth of India, because now only genuine beneficiaries who are entitled for benefits and subsidies will get the same, and there will be no siphoning of the benefits by ghost and duplicates in the system. Why is Aadhaar called the “Financial Address” of an individual? And how is it beneficial to an individual? Currently, one needs to share his/ her name, bank account number and

authenticates the data requested for and that too is done only with the consent of the respective individual. And, this consent is taken every time before authentication. In case of violations, the Act has strong provision to punish the lawbreakers.

Aadhaar is the largest public owned identity platform on the planet, created for the benefit of people bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IFSC code to get benefits and subsidies transferred to his account. If an individual had to change his bank account, he needs to share a whole lot of information with all the concerned departments from where he was getting benefits. We call Aadhaar the financial address of an individual because he may just share his Aadhaar number with the respective agencies, and get the benefits delivered directly into his bank account linked to Aadhaar. The transfer is done through the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) mapper. Any change in bank account details in future need not be reported to the departments but just needs to be intimated to NPCI , and they will transfer the funds into your new bank account.

There have been concerns expressed by civil society and in various PILs in the Supreme Court regarding the privacy and security of data. How does the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act 2016 address these concerns? First, we need to understand the importance of the Act. The government has limited funds, which need to be used judiciously. Since it is practically impossible to reach directly to every individual, most services and benefits are delivered through layers of intermediaries. This adds to the cost and also causes leakage. With the Aadhaar Act coming into force, governments will be able to transfer the benefits directly to individuals. This will reduce leakages and expenses that existed in earlier systems of payouts, thereby increasing efficiency. Regarding security and privacy concerns, the UIDAI system is one of strongest in its class, as mentioned earlier. UIDAI does not share any data, but just

What role does Aadhaar play in realising the dream of Digital India? Aadhaar is an important pillar of Digital India. The aim of Digital India is to empower the citizens of India. Digital India is not limited to urban areas, and it specifically targets those who are residing in remote areas. Also, it is important to note that no other ID system in the nation has instant real-time authentication available at any time of the day. It will allow individuals in remote areas to do away with middlemen, and directly avail the services and benefits. MNERGA payments via micro ATMs are an exemplary example, where payments are made by bank correspondents based on Aadhaar authentication via biometrics at the homes of the individuals. Can Aadhaar be a tool of good governance? Aadhaar can be the backbone of good governance. It ensures government resources are judiciously spent on the targeted citizens, and there is no wastage due to fake or duplicate entries. Secondly, it is an identity valid pan-India which empower individuals to authenticate themselves anytime & anywhere in the country. Many identity proofs are local in nature and cannot be authenticated easily in other parts of the country and thereby fakes and ghosts enter into the system. People also have difficulty in identifying themselves with their local IDs when they migrate to other places for their livelihood and often lose the benefits they were availing in their native places. Through Aadhaar, a beneficiary can be authenticated anywhere in the country and receive benefits and services.

I looked out to see slender lavender stalks swaying in the breeze and yonder, behind the rose bushes, the sea painted in a pretty blue. Snug under a quilt and drunk on the beauty around, I hummed an old English folk tune: “Through bushes and through briars/ I’ve lately made my way/ All for to hear the small birds sing/ And the lambs to skip and play...”

Admirals Arch, a stunning stalactitefringed natural landmark in Kangaroo Island. It is said that the stalactites are actually fossilised roots

It was Lynn, my chauffeur - who’s also a sheep farmer - who introduced me to the wonders of this paradise, from the golden pennants lining the dirt roads to Rosenberg’s goannas basking happily on the rocks. We walked on the long boardwalk at Seal Bay that meandered through limestone cliffs and dunes, watching sea lions lazing around on the sand or napping in the sun, exhausted after a long swim. We braved a long walk against the wind to see the stunningly beautiful Admirals Arch, a stalactitefringed cliff with a sweep of rock that forms the perfect niche for New Zealand fur seals to play. Later, the Remarkable Rocks, wind-sculpted rock formations that sit atop a smooth granite dome, transported me to a surreal landscape of dramatic sunsets and prehistoric Aboriginal living. Kangaroo Island is a place where you can see native Australian animals and birds the way they are meant to be seen - without disturbing them. At Flinders Chase National Park, which covers 74,000 hectares of untouched bush land, kangaroos, koalas, tammar wallabies and the endangered Cape Barren geese roam free. As we lingered, a shy wallaby appraised me from behind a bush, retreating as soon as I came close. I spotted an echidna in the undergrowth, foraging for ants with its sticky tongue. I followed the creature with my camera deep into the bushes, curious for a peep into its life.

FEATHERED FRIENDS Kangaroo Island, home to 267 species of native birds, is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Spot them on coastal cliffs, beaches, estuaries, creeks, wetlands and lagoons.

CARVED IN STONE The Remarkable Rocks sit on Kirkpatrick Point, named after an 1899 shipwreck survivor. The term is from an original chart that described some “remarkable rocks”.

The Kangaroo Island coastline is long enough to bestow a sense of peace, wild enough to hold secrets and small enough to tour - be it through wildlife watching or recreational activities such as surfing, scuba diving, fishing, snorkelling, swimming and sailing. I went kayaking with Kylie, of Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action, on Harriet river. Chatting softly, we enjoyed the quiet, meandering river as it snaked gracefully through the landscape. It was a memorable 90 minutes spent in the company of the gentle sound of oars lapping on silk-smooth waters.

Tiger tales from

Tadoba rkMksck ds fdLls

With a thriving eco-system and green hotels, the TadobaAndhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra is the new chapter in India’s sustainable wildlife tourism, says Riaan Jacob George

On the second day, however, after much effort, and whispered rumours between safari rangers of a possible sighting, we are finally successful. We spot a tigress, nonchalantly napping between the bushes, unfazed by the adulating gaze of dozens of onlookers. A few moments later, she gets up, poses, almost vainly, for the cameras, and disappears into the bushes.

Even hours after the wild rendezvous, I can’t stop smiling. Akshay, a naturalist-turned-guide employed by the Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge, where I am staying, says it’s only natural to feel elated at a chance sighting of the big cat and proudly adds that Tadoba doesn’t disappoint.

Green efforts

gfj;kyh ls ifjiw.kZ

While Tadoba has been attracting wildlife enthusiasts for years, a new discerning breed of travellers is now flocking to its rocky, arid plains. Among the many who are spearheading the movement to transform this relatively unexplored belt of India into a new, sustainable eco-tourism destination is entrepreneur-hotelier Sudeep Mehta. With his plush complex, Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge, located a mere 10 minutes from the gate of the tiger reserve, he is going all out to put this region at the centre of Indian tiger eco-tourism. “When I first came here,” Mehta says, “there was nothing. I found this plot of land on Google Earth and it was completely barren. There were no more than four trees around the lake. I bought this land and began the process of afforestation, planting about 18,000 trees in the area. This monsoon, we will plant 8,000 more. I am not one for manicured landscapes. I wanted the area around my lodge to be natural, an authentic eco-system. We are inspired by what the African safari lodges have done, and we’d like to find a middle ground between them and the Indian ethos.” For the traveller, it’s about enjoying the wild in true wilderness.

Baguettes, croissants or steaks, Puducherry serves them all, and serves them right. But that’s not all that Puducherry chefs have to offer.

Puducherry’s White Town (the old French Quarter) is teeming with unique dining options fare to cater to its growing tourist population. But the one thread that weaves this all together is its quirkiness.

What the chef at Carte Blanche, Hotel de l’Orient’s courtyard restaurant, calls Creole cuisine is an amalgamation of French and Southern American cooking styles that traces its origins back to New Orleans. The prawn green curry, for example, has an interplay of Western herbs such as basil and rosemary, and Indian ingredients such as coriander, mint and green chilli. Southern Americans may disapprove, but this Puducherry version of Creole does not lack in innovative quirks. In fact, it is this that has let chefs outside the shackles of a large corporate hotel chain dare to think beyond the traditional.

My journey started with books not because I wanted to learn or gain knowledge, but because I had ample time. Post Partition, I was staying in Purani Dilli, somewhere near a sabzi mandi. My father had a thailiyon ki dukaan (shop selling bags) at Chandni Chowk. After school I helped out at the shop and stayed overnight there. There was no electricity, only a small lantern. Sleep was elusive and in the lantern light, there was no better way to spend the night than to read books.

‘I was too young to understand loneliness. I was an obsessive reader. Books trained me to read,’ says Gulzar about his early days

On Films... “Films are an amalgam of words, music, poetry, painting and so much more. All fine arts keep working on a person’s creative sensibilities. It seeps into your subconscious mind, your faculties. Each is not bereft of the other, not in solitude. If you say that you are a painter and have nothing to do with music, I would doubt your creative sensibilities.”

I read it within the night, but the book changed my reading preference and even my life. It was an Urdu translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s The Gardener. That was one of the most important turning points of my life, being introduced to poetry and Bengali literature. Then I went on to read the works of Saratchandra Chattopadhyay and Munshi Premchand in Urdu translations. The power of Tagore’s language is so strong; it has a certain laye (rhythm) to it. I taught myself Bengali to read the author’s original works.

Later, when I moved to Mumbai, I did various odd jobs, that of a car mechanic as well. I used to paint dented cars and people said I did my work rather well. During my free time, my poetry flowed on to pages. I read up on Subhash Mukhopadhyay, Jibanananda Das and Sunil Gangopadhyay too. It was much later that I got into films. Legendary lyricist Shailendra introduced me to Bimal Roy, who became a mentor, and I assisted him for a long time. Through films, I wore new mantles such as lyricist, scriptwriter and director, but poetry is something that comes naturally to me and has travelled with me throughout my life.

I was thrilled to know the people of Meghalaya re-forest sacred groves

“Meghalaya is not just a place, it’s magic,” declares 36-year-old VJturned-actor Purab Kohli, who was recently shooting in the northeastern state for his next film, Rock On 2. “Riding my bike on the open roads, lined by the cloud-covered mysterious hills was a magical experience. The freedom is incomparable,” says the actor, who was recently seen in the movie Airlift.

Kohli first visited Meghalaya in 2004. “Back then,” he says, “the state was just opening up to tourism. I remember being completely taken in by the beauty of Meghalaya. The drive to Cherrapunjee and MawPhlang was awe-inspiring. We also trekked to one of the living bridges. I was thrilled to know the people of Meghalaya re-forest sacred groves.”

Although his recent trip to the state was a professional one and was mainly restricted to the Khasi hills, where most of the film has been shot, Kohli managed to take some time out to explore more of Meghalaya. “During a hectic shoot, sometimes all you want to do is sleep in your free time. But since we were there for two months, I managed to get a few days off just to look around,” Kohli says.

The shoot was in October-November and the cast was staying in Shillong. “Afternoons were breezy and sunny, and the evenings were cold. It also rained once in a while. It was perfect,” Kohli says. What about the locals? “They are very warm and welcoming,” Kohli says. “They are non-interfering and relatively open to outsiders.” Another draw for the actor was the state’s music scene. “Meghalaya is very musically charged,” Kohli says. “Almost every family has a singer or a musician. They are also very enterprising.”

we are used to, but it’s important to try out new dishes without being fussy. Besides, they are all yummy. My favourite is kwai, which is betel leaf rolled with lime paste and areca nut. It is amazing.”

Though there are private cars available for transportation, Kohli would take his bike for long rides. “The experience of riding in cool, fresh hilly air is amazing and can help solve a lot of your life’s problems,” he says, laughing. “On a serious note, I felt rejuvenated. The traffic in Shillong made things a tad tedious, but on the beautiful open roads, everything felt worth it. The ghats were winding but not too steep. The picturesque landscape made up for everything that was amiss,” Kohli says.

Debut film Kohli made his acting debut in films with Bus Yuhin (2003) opposite Nandita Das.

Sitting at the edge of a cliff in Laitlum Canyons and watching the clouds rise from the bottom of the valley, enveloping everything in mist, is his most memorable moment. “It was surreal; watching the clouds and how low they hung was fascinating,” he says. Prod him on talking about the most adventurous moment and he says, “Riding back from Dawki, one of the border crossings between India and Bangladesh, was a great adventure. The highway makes for a beautiful ride.”

memorable acts Some of his popular films are My Brother… Nikhil (2005) Woh Lamhe (2006) and Rock On (2008)

Kohli is keen on visiting Meghalaya again. “The Garo Hills top the list. I have tasted Garo cuisine and enjoyed their music too. But I want to explore the hills this time,” he says. Before signing off, we ask for a quick travel tip for Meghalaya. “Never underestimate the rain and the clouds up there,” he reminds us. “They can take over and bring any trip to a complete halt.”

favourite sport Kohli loves water sports, especially deep sea diving. “The silence, the calm that one feels under the water is absolutely amazing,” he says.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

Expect an emotional upheaval. You will question your emotional involvement in relationships or at work. But you will seek help and it will come. Don’t stop trusting yourself.

April is about new beginnings, excitement and a high adrenaline rush. You will initiate work or actions that will bring forth more wealth. Both ideas and money seem to be in sync this month.

A very positive month, where you may move into a new home with your beloved. This month could also lead to an engagement or a wedding. You will generally be happy.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

You are giving in to your dark side or the weaker alter ego. You may over-indulge in shopping, eating, flirting, working or suppressing another person. But remember, there is always a stop button.

A fantastic period for you. I see you celebrating, and enjoying with family and friends. You will be happy and emotionally charged. So put on your dancing shoes and be merry.

This month may be a little saddening. You may end something that may have failed. This could be a relationship or a job, which you will forego for a larger dream. It’ll be painful but best for future.

NUMEROLOGY SANDHIYA MEHHTA Numerologist and Vastu Consultant

Sandhiya Mehta is a Ace Numerologist, vast expert and now a worldwide brand who represents success and growth, for herself and for people she counsels. She has expanded the numerological field with her research and knowledge, and with advanced experiences has helped her to help every human soul in return, to guide them to their enchanting dreams, gain power over their fortunes and to come alive. au of bright lights and her charismatic personality, she has achieved of With an aura what many dream. She is in the field for more than thirty years, and in this journey has helped and exchanged energies and ideas, guided people to lead better lives, has received dozens of honours and recognitions, like ‘The Nari Ratna award, Indira Gandhi Priyadarshani Award, Rastriya Ratan award, Mahila Shiromani award, 4p Brand recognitions, ‘The Global Indian Leaders excellence award and many more such appreciations. ————Numerology is the most accurate predictive science, and has evolved from the ages of people counting stars as numerical references to today where we add up all the calculations and we have an outcome that guides you to the events in your life, and stay prepared for them.“To a person who seeks success, my system will bring success, happiness and prosperity. And to those who are already successful it will bring sustainability, positive reinforcements, further success and introduce to a new and higher perspective and lifestyle.” The Journey to my methods “I am someone who has evolved, and with every step of my life have just tried to be better in what I love, I don't just predict your future, I communicate, consult and help you empower your energies.” Every person is having an energy, a combination and each combination is different, hence they have only certain types of energy and lack other ones. This is what makes us human, that we can’t be perfect but we have to strive to be. My exclusive research and study of missing numbers in your birth graph helps me to determine what are the strong energies that I can see in you and uplift the missing energies to suit to your dreams and ambitions. With my years or research and extremely positive results, I help these missing energies in your graph. Its like improveme providing nutrition to a body, by way of simple remedies and self improvement tools that I have developed by myself. The curious case of 4 & 8 “In my research, nearly 70% people are connected to these numbers, and this loop then influences your further generations too.’ One usually guards themselves because we have all heard a lot about disappointments and delays, sorrows and hardships of 4 & 8 and with 7 they form a trio of these energies. But I see them powerful steroids, to be handled carefully. Then I will channelize it to positive planning and maximise your fortune’s profits. Feel blessed if you belong to them, we will empower your life and, learn through 4 & 8 and reap more fruits of your hard work than you would have previously did. Handle your energies well, because only in the right hands they will empower with 4 & 8.

Spotlight: Love, relations and universal energies Love between you and family or friends, is a bond beyond any calculations. But that does not mean, a relationship isn't stressed by ongoing. There are times we connect very well with our family, and then for certain issues there comes a stressful period. Knowing and understanding on your numbers connect with your loved ones, will help you understand why you are facing what you are facing in that relationship. I have saved marriages by making partners understand each other and their numbers, saved families from getting split, helped children to love their parents pare in an older age.

Is life simpler without 4 & 8: The other side of the story Individually every number has its massive merits but if it doesn’t get the support of your fadic/destiny number it cannot do much for you. 1, 9, 5 & 3 are very powerful numbers and should get magnanimous success as per individual calculations, but if you are still struggling and have faced certain problems you should try and understand your state of energies and detangle the web, to create a free path for your future. “A bright star has its own energy, but lighting a lamp in the dark is much more meaningful.” We all are a mix of many numbers, their combinations play us differently and affects us differently. We have to empower these combinations in our fortune, to achieve what is extraordinary, which makes us exemplary individuals, that help themselves and in addition help their families, society, help someone in need who looks unto you. My advice “Knowledge empowers you, and there is nothing more powerful than to understand yourself, your potentials, what holds you back, what drives you forward.” I provide you this knowledge about yourself, though numerology. Knowledge about finances, career, turnaround years, lucky dates, months, years, things that help you have a strong backup plan for everything in life. “No mantra, fasting, name changes singularly guarantees you anything. Ultimately its you who has to foresee the future, and I help you to do so.” Follow a simplistic solution Meh that I call Sandhiya Mehhta’s remedy system, and we will work on your energies and align them in the right direction The Success road ahead There is a Buddhist saying, “You yourself must strive; the Buddha’s just point the way.” f you believe in yourself and the universe let me just show you a direction, you yourself will lead on the right path and achieve the results within no desired time. I have received tremendous positive feedbacks to have faith in the universe myself. “I am not god; I just understand my field of work and use it to help people, guide them and provide them with some efficient ways to be happy, peaceful, ever-glorious and a good part of our society & I continue to achieve results with all my clients."- Sandhiya Mehhta.

Nida Rooms seeks to provide quality budget-stay options for Indians travelling to the Far East

Nida Rooms was incorporated in September 2015 and commenced operations a few weeks ago. The company has partnered with over 2,500 hotels in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines in its endeavour to provide quality stay options for Indian budget travellers going to the Far East. The mobile apps already have over 150,000 monthly active users. The company’s founder Kaneswaran Avili has rich experience in the airline industry, having worked at Air Asia, Tiger Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, and SpiceJet. He says: “During my aviation experience in Southeast Asia and South Asia (especially SpiceJet), I noticed that there’s a constant stream of travellers in Southeast Asia, and I felt the affordable hotel chain model of Nida Rooms would work very well here and in other emerging Asian markets.” The Nida Rooms model focusses on three aspects for hotel operators: reach, revenues, and recognition for hotel partners. The company enters into agreements directly with existing hotels by locking in a certain amount of rooms to be dedicated exclusively to Nida Rooms. Forty per cent of their rooms are unoccupied throughout the year and Nida Rooms helps the partner hotels to increase revenues for these rooms and promotes them actively to bring in new customers in multiple countries from across the globe. When asked how does the company ensure the maintenance of Nida quality standards, Avili said: ”With Nida Rooms, the guests will have the peace of mind to know that all rooms come with the minimum Nida Rooms verification of quality.” Travellers are often most concerned about the unknown quality standards of the mid- to budget range of hotels, and thus the hotels are very eager to be associated with Nida Rooms. In the next stage, the company plans to widen its footprint in Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines. Its founder explains: “The third stage of expansion depends upon the interests of investors; we plan to expand into India, the Middle East and Europe. In India we are already tying up with big Indian travel portals to offer our inventory to Indian travellers as also Indian hotels to our clients in Southeast Asia.”

At GIIS, students from Classes I to V are exposed to interesting modules and initiatives that go beyond the curriculum, moulding their minds and aiding them in their development as global citizens

develop relevant skills,” said Melissa Maria, principal, GIIS East Coast Campus in Singapore.

The secret behind success of students at the Global Indian International School (GIIS) is none other than a holistic learning experience. Apart from a focus on academic excellence, students are exposed to the Nine Gems™ model, which emphasises on the development of multiple intelligences. Under this learning framework, all students are equipped with essential skills such as leadership, discipline, innovation, and vocational competencies — all of which are vital for achieving results on a global stage. Building character In lower classes, the educational challenges and academic demands slowly accelerate. While holistic growth is always the focus, the Primary School

programme at GIIS lays more emphasis on strengthening knowledge, language skills and competencies of the child through comprehensive and creative learning activities. “With regular sessions on life skills and perspectives, we provide students a solid foundation that prepares them for future challenges,” said Madhu Khanna, principal, GIIS Queenstown Campus in Singapore. Fostering a smooth transition GIIS follows the international curriculum at the primary level in order to create value-added programmes for students to grow and reach their fullest potential. “We provide a stress-free space, which is beyond academics so that students can focus more on other activities to

Rekha Varghese, vice-principal at the GIIS Queenstown Campus, said, “CBSE-i’s dynamic and inquiry-based curriculum aided by supplementary learning tools helps students to cultivate in-depth conceptual understanding and develop analytical and higher order thinking skills. By the end of the Primary School years, our aim is that all students should gain a solid foundation to effectively pursue next level in the school and beyond.”

A distance of 8 km was covered by many passionate participants including school children. The event was flagged off by Dr SK Kaliya, DIG, Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria, Mayor, Ajay Sood, ADC, and Paramjeet Singh, SDM. The rally was a huge success and was appreciated by all. Also present at the event were Mandeep Pahwa, ED, Rishi Pahwa, Joint MD, Dr Baldeep Singh, Dr Gaurav Sachdeva, S Gurmeet Singh Kular, President, FICO and Ravindar Arora, convenor, Punjab Industry Cell.

educational excellence With excellent facilities and innovative teaching, Sharda University strives towards all-round development of students

sity has been recognised as a supplier of intellectually impressive achievers to the industry. Keeping up with the increasing sophistication of industry demands, Sharda has established alliances with companies like Tech Mahindra, Global Logic, Microsoft and Cadence. Many companies have found the right candidates from Sharda University, according to their requirements. These include TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Wipro, Mu Sigma, Steria, Mphasis and ICICI Bank. Sharda also works closely with students to train them for the academic hiring process, and is thus immune to the recruitment slowdown. Placement percentage grew exponentially from 73% to 90% by the year 2015, with packages ranging from ` 6-12 lakh per annum. A major headline in the placement process at Sharda was when a student of MTech Electronics bagged a whopping ` 54 lakh per annum package from Genesis Texas, a US-based company.

Prashant Gupta, Executive Director, Sharda Group of Institutions

The Sharda Group, established in 1996, has trained more than 40,000 students with the help of 1,200+ faculty members. With streams ranging from fine arts to medicine, Sharda has transformed the student belief system from “could attend” to “should attend”. The Sharda University campus, an example of contemporary architecture, is built on 63 acres of land in the heart of Greater Noida. Sharda uses innovative teaching methodologies and state-of-the-art infrastructure for its students, who come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Sharda works towards “helping great minds become great together" by organising workshops as per the academic requirements of students. The campus includes a 900-bed multi-specialty hospital, in line with the needs of medical students. Sharda wants to help its students create an impact as entrepreneurs, which is

why the university has introduced several new courses in line with industry trends. Recently-launched courses include an MBA in banking in association with Times Pro and a course for BTech students in collaboration with Tech Mahindra. Sharda's technology-transfer programmes encourage students to develop their ideas into blockbuster businesses. Sharda offers certifications in cloud computing, J2EE, Android, Autodesk, and others, with lab infrastructure as per the prevailing industry trends set by Microsoft, Oracle, Cadence, KPMG and Tevtron. Students may avail certifications and lab programmes adding up to 40-120 hours of training (depending upon the options chosen) by qualified technical experts. The placement cell of Sharda University does not believe in endless claims and statistics, and only attempts to pitch the right offer to its students. Sharda Univer-

Sharda University is a city of cosmopolitan youth and is proud of 27% of its student population comprising international students. High-calibre students from 55 countries have found a home in Sharda, in their search for a rewarding academic experience. A few years down the line, Sharda aims to achieve a statistic of 50% international students and establish academic alliances with a 100 global universities as well as research exchange and faculty development programmes One of the brightest facts about Sharda is its infrastructure. Sharda has created an innovative city that vibrantly speaks out a promise of passion and learning to students. Sharda realises that infrastructure plays an obligatory role in a student’s journey of learning, which is why Sharda has incorporated several schools covering streams such as engineering, management, medicine, dentistry, law, architecture, mass communication, computer applications, design, basic sciences, biotechnology, food science & technology, nursing, physiotherapy, clinical research, paramedical courses, languages, and others. Every school has its own research laboratory where students can work to take their passion to a new level.

Future Of TV LG Electronics continues to innovate in display technologies with the launch of OLED TVs, the newest display technology that is fast becoming popular across the world

LG Electronics (LG) has always been the frontrunner when it comes to innovation in display technologies. And the introduction of OLED to the world is one such futuristic step that is making waves and is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Breaking the multiple layers of LED TVs, LG OLED is a single layer display technology that uses self-lighting pixels to create life-like immersive TV viewing.

K W Kim, MD LG Electronics India

After the debut of world’s first 4K OLED TVs in 2014, LG debuted with seven different new 4K OLED TVs – flexible, curved and flat – lineup at International CES in 2015. OLED stands for “Organic Light Emitting Diode”. And with an

incredible self-lighting quality of OLED pixel, it is surely going to revive the future of display technology with 4K resolution. Since every single pixel produces their own individual light and colour independently of its neighbour pixels, perfect black and perfect colour is achieved with limitless contrast ratio right before your eyes. The images are rendered with the richest details and exhibit a surreal picture quality that was never thought imaginable before!
