The India Saga Saga |

National level Human Rights and Social Activist Dr Dibyajyoti Saikia hails from Assam. He aims to establish peace and humanity and eliminate social evils through quality and knowledge-based life-oriented education. In his 42 years of life, having extensive experience of 22 years working on prominent to ground zero level social work and awareness drives and sensitization programmes across the country over a range of issues, he mainly work in the field of anti-superstition, anti-terrorism, anti-drugs to re-establish peace and communal harmony through the Society.

 

He promote knowledge-based education by which one can establish himself financially or socially. For the financially backward people, poor farmers, and people who became a victim of witch-hunting, he used to support their talented children in terms of financial, education, college level or even university levels, and I am proud that many of them are now established their lives. They are established in the Society as a govt. Employee and business.

He also motivate their children and new generations to continue farming in a new and scientific way for more economic benefits.

 

Dr Saikia  fought against drugs and its affect on society. The growing drug menace in Society is one such issue that requires another level of intervention among youth.

In this regard we are very thankful to Activist Dr Dibyajyoti Saikia for his advocacy.

During the Covid crisis, knowing that it may not be safe to go out, he went to many remote villages located at the Assam-Arunachal border in the Lakhimpur District of the State and distributed masks, soaps, food and sanitizer to people. He educated and motivated familiar people about the essential things to do in the time of Corona Virus to avoid social stigma and Superstition and rumour.

This is another achievement of his. His ultimate goal is a peaceful world and a peaceful society, because he believe If mankind needs to go forward, there must be peace involved. And peace is must for development and progress.

The India Saga Saga |

It is not a military secret that the political spectrum across India has drastically evolved as the country is inching towards becoming a global superpower. However, to achieve the dream of becoming a leading country, there has to be rapid expansion and growth in a plethora of sectors like the power sector, education, healthcare, infrastructure, tourism, and connectivity. Unlike the bureaucrats, who are immune from accountability, politicians are answerable to the general public- their voters who ensured their rise to power. Just drawing crowds, holding mega roadshows and mere promises before the commencement of an election is over as electorates have become smart. Naya Bharat needs grassroot leaders who have a vision, an idea to execute, and the will to raise the issues that resonate with the people. Akshay Mandalkar, an emerging politician, who is creating quite a stride in the corridors of power, is loaded with all of these qualities and is trying to contribute towards the empowerment of the society.

 

Hailing from DeulgaonRaja, situated in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, Akshay Mandalkar is a 25-year-old rising politician who is currently the Secretary of National Students Union of India (NSUI).

Upon proving his political acumen, he was made the All India Congress Committe (AICC) Assembly observers of states like Bihar, Assam and Uttarakhand. Later, he was promoted as the Parliament Observer of Himachal Pradesh.

 

Having a deep understanding of the caste-arithmetic and being successful in talking about the issues that matter to the common people like education, providing coaching and sports facilities to the youth, he was successful in scripting his victory in the Zilla Parishad polls. Currently, being a scholar at the renowned Jamia Millia Islamia at the National Capital, Akshay Mandalkar is preparing for the upcoming Sakharkherada Zilla Parishad, Taluka SindhkhediRaja, situated in the Buldhna district of Maharashtra.  He envisions to provide people with Wifi Connectivity, Coaching Facilities, Sports Complex, Medical Infrastructure, and other key necessities. Having seen the sufferings of the common people, he promises to address their issues and for the same, he would organise a weekly gathering of the people, once elected to the post of Zilla Parishad. 

 

Hailing from Aurangabad, Akshay Mandalkar is close to his city and for the development of the rich and cultural city, he aims to improve the connectivity of the region so that in the upcoming years, Aurangabad can be termed as one of the key tourist destinations across India. Talking about his vision, the young emerging politician stated, “I have always believed that politics is a great medium to serve the people. New India is aspiring and ambitious and people are no longer interested in religion or caste-based politics, all they want is connectivity, food and development and I am determined to provide the citizens with all of these. Politics for me is a way to serve the people selflessly.”

Till now Kushan has been in the Hip Hop industry from the last 2 years, developed a lot of songs/raps and content, but still, he believes that he is still learning. Aim of Kushan’s life is to tell his story to everyone in this world.

 

Celebrate your dream wedding with Krishna Jewellers Pearls and Gems

The India Saga Saga |

A Big-Fat-Indian wedding is something that everyone admires. Everything about an Indian wedding is exceptional, and the festivities last for days. The guest list can number in the hundreds, if not thousands, and every detail is meticulously planned to ensure everyone has a good time. The bride always receives the majority of the attention at an Indian wedding, so she must look her best. Obviously not just to impress the guests! That is something that any bride would want for herself! Aside from the outfit, the first thing to choose is the wedding jewellery collection one will wear on the wedding day and at other functions. And these jewellery choices showcase India’s diversity, with very different styles of ornaments worn by brides from different parts of the country as Muslim brides usually wear a Passa while Rajasthani brides wear a Borla. With such considerations in mind, Krishna Jewellers, one of India’s most famous jewellery brands is widely known in the wedding shopping circles for their extensive wedding jewellery collections, which feature exquisite designs.

 

With so many options for bridal jewellery, it can be challenging to know where to begin when selecting the pieces for your wedding. Every woman has her preferences and tastes, and what is best for one bride may not be the best choice for another. Choosing jewellery solely on price is one of the most common mistakes many brides-to-be make. While finding a design that fits your budget is essential, it’s also critical that the jewellery you choose is of high quality and built to last. Krishna Jewellers believes that jewellery made of high-quality materials and crafted by skilled artisans will last a lifetime and is often worth more than the price of the jewellery. This is why the brand ensures you receive the most beautiful designs and only the highest quality gold and diamond at the most affordable prices.

 

When asked about what, in their eyes, is the significance of wedding Jewellery, the Founder of Krishna Jewellers stated, “You can have the most beautiful gown and the best makeup, but it is your bridal jewellery that will make or break your bridal look. Every girl wants to look her most beautiful on her wedding day, but to do so, she must pay close attention to the smallest details of her outfit, one of which is the jewellery. Brides from various cultural and religious backgrounds have traditionally worn jewellery that is unique to them. Muslim brides, for example, typically wear a Passa, whereas Rajasthani brides wear a Borla. However, today’s millennial brides are free of these constraints and rules. We think they should wear whatever they think looks best on them.”

 

For the past 39 years, the company has worked hard to provide customers with the best jewellery for their special occasions. Krishna Jewellers ensures that the designs are both fashionable and rooted in the country’s rich traditions. By sourcing only the finest gold and diamonds, gemstones to Kundan, one can find a wide range of beautiful designer jewellery to suit their needs.

Aside from that, all of their jewellery collections come with free insurance. Visit their exclusive store or contact them for a video shopping experience, and they will assist you in selecting the appropriate wedding jewellery for your special day.

 

Dr. Himanshu Gupta’s expertise in how to identify and treat shoulder conditions

The India Saga Saga |

Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal disorder. Between 7 and 34% of adults experience shoulder pain at any time. People probably don’t think about their shoulders much until they suddenly experience pain in one of them. This pain can do simple acts like brushing and drying your hair, reaching behind your back, or grabbing something overhead — it seems like a monumental task. The pain can come on gradually or abruptly, ranging from mild to excruciating.

 

Shoulders are the joints where the upper-arm bones (humerus), shoulder blades (scapula), and the collarbone (clavicle) meet. The humerus fits into the rounded socket of the scapula on each side of the body. Each shoulder is held in place by a group of four muscles and tendons, called a rotator cuff, which covers and protects the humerus and lets us raise and move our arms. Injury to any of these structures may result in inflammation and swelling, resulting in severe pain and loss of movement.

 

If you experience shoulder pain, it’s not always possible to figure out the cause. Most shoulder pains can be treated in one go if the correct cause is identified soon. Sometimes problems in other parts of the body are the source of the pain, which then radiates to your shoulder, called referred pain. This can happen with specific neck problems, including arthritis and disc herniations. Injury by fall or accident is one of the causes, but one may even get damage by overdoing a chore like painting. Frozen shoulder is a common condition that baffles many people as it is a state in which arm movement becomes limited and painful when left untreated. Medical experts and Orthopedic specialist, Dr. Himanshu Gupta of Amicare Hospital have discussed why every shoulder is not a frozen shoulder and how to identify any shoulder conditions.

 

What are shoulder injuries and their causes?  

 

Common shoulder injuries are dislocation, fracture, cartilage tear, rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, impingement, acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) pathology, and bursitis. Other causes of shoulder pain include age-related arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, referred pain from different body organs, heart problems, bone spurs, or calcific tendonitis. Many athletes and physical workers suffer from shoulder joint injuries now and then. It leads to gradual loss of movement, and the joint gets stiffer, eventually stopping moving. Dislocation or fracture can occur if the shoulder is pulled back too hard or rotated too far, so the shoulder ball may pop out of its socket. The arm bone (humerus) or collar bone (clavicle) may break or crack if you fall or take a hard hit. The shoulder will sag, and you may be unable to lift the arm. A group of rotator cuff muscles can damage through overuse or fall.

 

According to a study, shoulder injuries often occur in people who are very active in sports—because of long hours of practicing, extra stretching, or working out. So, proper rest should be given to the upper arm, hands, and back to avoid injuries. Over-exhausting the body can also cause sore muscles, bones, and joints. To treat such problems, doctors recommend balanced body movement via physiotherapy from a sports specialist. Age-related wear and tears result in the degeneration of the tendon. Initially, the pain occurs in front of the shoulder and travels down the arm. At times it aggravates if you try to sleep on the affected side. Consequently, you may note weakness in your arm and difficulty accomplishing daily tasks like combing your hair. If not treated well, it may lead to shoulder arthritis. For such problems, you should always consult a professional doctor.

 

Why are all shoulder conditions not just frozen shoulders?

 

A frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder capsule becomes thick and stiff. As a result, moving the arm or shoulder becomes painful and very difficult. It is more commonly seen in women and people with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, or thyroid disorders. Frozen shoulder is often confused with the rotator cuff and other similar injuries. However, the rotator cuff tear symptoms are different from the frozen shoulder. Rotator cuff patients can lift their shoulders without assistance.

 

In contrast, with frozen shoulders, patients face difficulty in raising their shoulders by themselves. It is characterized by an aching pain and majorly follows stable immobilization. Both conditions can cause severe limitations of free shoulder movement. However, they both have different treatment options. A proper physical frozen shoulder test is enough to diagnose the disease correctly.

 

While shoulder pain often gets better with time, this condition should never be left untreated and undiagnosed. Renouncing an injured part unattended is a mistake one should never make. The right care and medication at the proper time could save one from grievous amounts of pain and misery. Through physical enhancement, the body is taught to maintain a certain level of activity involving stretching and balancing body movements. Physical therapy is also recommended for frozen shoulders. Other interventions include NSAID medications, corticosteroid injections, or, in some cases, minimally invasive surgeries like Arthroscopy, which treats the shoulder with small incisions in the most modern way.

Meet the student who top the CUET and know his secrets

The India Saga Saga |

Over the last two decades, National assessments have emerged as an essential tool for measuring educational achievement to evaluate the competence of a particular student for further admissions. Although there are numerous national assessment programs with varying goals and objectives, most seek to track learning outcomes changes over time. Following the same, recently, under the Ministry of Education, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET (UG) – 2022) is being introduced for admission into all UG Programmes in all Central Universities like University of Delhi , BHU, Jamia Millia Islamia etc, for the academic session 2022-23. Students all over the country who completed their class twentieth boards the same year put their heart and soul into passing this examination. This opportunity for every deserving student to showcase their educational qualities has been remarkably utilized by many; one such name was Ayushmaan Bhatra. This twelfth-grader not only attended a hundred percentile in five subjects but also was among the toppers list.

 

This meritorious teenager, who is Guwahati, Assam-based and believes that a bulk of his success should be attributed to his upbringing since his parents always insisted on studying but never created any pressure on him. With his father being a lawyer and a significant segment of the immediate family being in the law profession, his parents did not object when he chose to do something different and opted for the Commerce stream and supported him on every step. Calling unpredictability the biggest fear encountered during the entire preparation process, Ayushmaan feels that since The 2022 Class 12th batch had Board exams twice (Term 1 and Term 2), the exams were not conducted in the manner that one would expect from CBSE. Moreover, the MCQ format introduced for Term 1 and then returning to the subjective format for Term 2 added to the students’ already existing confusion. Finally, CUET was introduced unexpectedly, and the exam dates were announced only very late. As a result, unpredictability posed a significant challenge. But with persistent efforts and faith in his potential, he elevated all the doubts that creeped out and succeeded with flying colors.

 

The journey so far for this young prodigy has been tremendously exciting, and in times when he felt drawn back, the right guidance from his near and dear ones kept him going. Sharing his preparation experience for this entrance exam, Ayushmaan took the name of Educaptain which is known for its highly affordable courses with features that are unique, such as Video Solutions of Mocks, Direct Mentorship from Toppers, Handwritten Books, Hand holding support, etc. The institute has constantly been giving tremendous results in the Undergraduate Entrances exams, for instance, AIR 3 in DU JAT, AIR 24 in IPMAT Indore, AIR 4 in IPU, AIR 4 in BVP, etc. After joining the coaching in the Victory Batch for the subjects English and General Test( aptitude), Ayushmaan felt inspired in this journey by receiving genuine guidance, lectures, and doubt solving for the subjects aforementioned and mock tests for all the different domains of CUET apart from English and General Test as well. The self-paced lessons, doubt-solving faculty, mocks, and regular guidance was what he found most helpful in the course. He also especially gratified Prince Gupta, the founder of Educaptain, for his valuable mentorship.

 

When asked about his perspective on the education realm, educaption’s Founder Prince Gupta, who comes from prestigious institutes of India like SRCC & IIM Calcutta, stated, “In my opinion, Children should be taught how to think rather than what to think. Finally, education has the potential to change the world. Education’s roots are bitter, but its fruit is sweeter. A tree is nothing without its roots, and education is nothing without exams. Each child has a unique learning style and pace. Each child is unique, capable not only of learning but also of succeeding. Students’ understanding capacity can be assessed using their ‘Conceptual Knowledge.’ With my ideology of ‘Education should be affordable, but at the same time of very high quality, our institute Educaption is changing the way Entrances are taken in India. We are known for our highly affordable courses with features that are unique, such as Video Solutions of Mocks, Direct Mentorship from Toppers, Handwritten Books, Hand holding support, etc.”

 

With mathematics being an absolute favorite, and an inclination toward Finance, Ayushmaan is in love with numbers. However, he doesn’t intend to enter college with a fixed mindset. Instead, he wants to explore the various options and then make an informed decision. As a result, he can’t declare which career exactly he would pursue, as he believes it’s inappropriate to have a fixed mindset at the very beginning of college so that he will try everything. Giving special acknowledgement to his Grandfather, Shri Amrit Kumar Ji Bhatra, from whom he inherits the traits of hard work and persistence, Ayushmaan thanked family, friends, and his School Don Bosco Guwahati who gave him the opportunity to grow and gave him people to look up to in the form of Principal Father Sebastian Matthew and all his teachers. As of now, counting the External Affairs Minister of the country, Dr. S. Jaishankar, as one of his biggest inspirations to follow in his footsteps, the young genius is all set to put in tireless striving to touch new horizons of success in life and make himself and his country proud.

The Strategy of Vanvasi Project India bringing change step by step

The India Saga Saga |

India has been an enormous resource for handmade goods, handicrafts, and handlooms. Its large variety of artisanal processes in every state of the country makes India different from the rest. This variety gave a vast domain of innovative products ranging from utilitarian to bespoke art objects. From the marketing point of view, it has always provided exposure to these artistic creations through open-air exhibitions under the banner of every state (melas and fairs) as an easy way. In recent times with negligible internet costs due to Reliance Jio, the impact on regional state-wise branding and its product placement has decreased. Customers are more demanding with added information about the quality aspect because they are buying it from their phones and laptops. Old ways of selling inside a stall with improper lighting and explaining the artisanal processes are dying with “depleting margins.”

 

After the advent of internet shopping, influencers and bloggers have gate-crashed the digital space debuting fashionably on Instagram. But, on the contrary, a millennial is focussing his youth and efforts to uplift and revive quality in village India’s unique artisanal processes of creative grassroots. Architect Rishabh Sachan (26), spearheading (RishuSdesign Foundation), is a creative genius who has always had a passion for Indian art heritage, with his first love being royal interiors. Along with being an MBA, Rishabh is applying his creative and management knowledge to amalgamate exceptional products made with human touch and emotional retina. To enhance his expertise in market linkages, he has gone through specialization in Strategy from Harvard Business School Online, certified in subjects of Sustainable Business Strategy, Disruptive Strategy, and Strategy Execution.

 

The creative aesthete has an intense aptitude for research-based design and has created bespoke tapestries and statement pieces with villagers after training them for four months. The work of Vanvasi is going on in three villages with selected teams who agree to work on his quality standards. The purpose is to showcase their hunar and special skills projecting their innate talent and relevance to today’s growth mindset. With a small amount of capital in his startup, the Vanvasi Project India team started visiting Uttar Pradesh villages and meeting the artisans and stakeholders. Architect Rishabh Sachan partnered with his mother, Alka Katiyar, with a degree in psychology, and grandfather S.C Katiyar. They initiated by convincing village women and young girls to skill in different hand-based embroideries that had practically gone extinct from our country’s creative and cultural space. Chikankari was a skill that few women practiced for their daily living.

 

After clearing and passing a three-stage selection process for over a year, architect Rishabh Sachan got himself sitting at the Mecca of strategy in India, the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), for the very selective Creative and Cultural Businesses Programme in 2022. The organization is built brick by brick and is all about Indianness. Rishabh has also worked extensively for over three years on the aesthetic of Awadh and Nawabi Lucknow during his architectural college days, making him well-versed with Indian luxury rooted in heritage. Rishabh curated and conceptualized authentic heritage exhibitions at Taj for international tourism and delegates as a capsule showcasing the original antiquity and material wealth of Awadh for the first time in Lucknow’s history.

 

Rishabh mentions, “When you guide and build something on a meager capital budget, your life choices drift sharply. From the choice to convince to expenses in lifestyle, cost cutting automatically happens. The trade-offs are so many that one doesn’t even think of them to keep the focus in place.” After noticing his enterprising work and strategy execution on the ground level, Architect Rishabh Sachan was immediately notified of his voluntary role as Mentor of Change under Atal Innovation Mission, Niti Aayog, in 2022. His startup activity started during his MBA college days.

 

Vanvasi Project India is teaching Indian rural hands about the value of injecting quality into a handmade product. They had developed a few teams in three villages in just four and a half months. Co-founder Alka Katiyar guides and trains old and young women in the rarest hand embroideries and shares that women need to be self-reliant and support their families single-handedly. They are very responsible and understand the value of what they are learning. She says that many women speak that no one ever came to them to teach – “what is quality” they did every work just as a bulk assignment to deliver contractors who kept them at a bare subsistence level with minimum pay per piece.

Get authentic Maldivian experience with Forever Maldives

The India Saga Saga |

Traveling solo is almost every person’s dream, and what’s better than traveling to one of the most exotic islands, Maldives. People in the 10th century used to call the Maldives treasure island and they were right.

How 17-year-old K. Sasi Tarun turned his passion into profession by 20 is an interesting read

The India Saga Saga |

Having a focussed mind and not letting any distractions cross his path, he made it to the top slot, at a young age.

Who wouldn’t want to work doing something they absolutely love? Though rare amongst people, there are still many whose hobbies and passions have found a way to turn that from a side-hustle to a full time profession. Although, not many of us have the courage to follow our passion, and instead look out for a safe route of taking up a regular job, there are still many whose love for a specific area pushes them to pursue it to such an extent that it turns into a fruitful career. Take the example of 20-year-old K. Sasi Tarun who is popular on the racing circuits as Torqdairies. This young lad has turned his passion of riding motorcycles into a profession and is today one of the youngest professional riders in India.

 

How did it all start? We ask the young champ, to which he answers, “I always loved to rev up the throttle as the sound of a motorcycle engine roaring always fascinated me. Soon enough I was riding them, and before I knew, I was on the racing tracks, riding competitively.” His love for bikes at 17 eventually turned out to be his profession by the time he was 20. He says that his family always supported him in his journey and that encouraged him to pursue his love for riding bikes further. His first tryst with racing tracks began with Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore, after which he got certified from Rajini Academy of Competitive Racing. That began his long journey of participating in competitive races like the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship in 2022 and many more.

 

Age was by his side and that gave him plenty of opportunities to spend time on the game and hone his skills. He went ahead to complete his basic free style stunt training under the guidance of TVS India Professional freestyle stunt athlete Padma Prashant at 18, and started riding solo, touring 19 states & 5 union territories covering complete South and North India, between Kanyakumari and Kashmir.

 

He has managed to ride to the 10 highest passes of India including Changla Pass, Khardung La, Rohtang Pass, Bara Lacha La, Zoji La, Tanglang La, Lungalacha La, Pensi La, Fotu La, and the most dangerous pass in the world Sach Pass, including Ladakh on his KTM DUKE 250 motorcycle.

Presently he is a professional motorcyclist with Merkai, a leading automotive motorsports’ agency from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana specializing in two wheel advertising and marketing and is also a rider for SMP KTM INDIA, as well as the ride manager at an agency deputed by TVS Motor for Apache Owners Group Community Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
