Dr Pratik Mungekar delivered his talk on Quality Education in the 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 Day 4 #SustainableDevelopment Goal 4, April 4 2022 🇮🇳🇯🇵🇧🇩🇹🇭🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇰🇪🇬🇪🇱🇧🇵🇭🇬🇷🇮🇩🇧🇹🇲🇺🇧🇷🇽🇰🇱🇸🇳🇵🇦🇴🇲🇭 🇭🇰 … Here is the video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvbbhc0haAo Now Let's read the complete Transcript by Dr Pratik Mungekar The Education 2030 agenda was adopted in 2015 to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’ by 2030 with a series of targets set out to realize this. Before COVID-19, the world was already off-track to meeting the targets and because of the pandemic, some of the gains already made in education were lost. Education was severely disrupted worldwide with the most vulnerable learners affected worst. However, the crisis also saw global partnerships strengthened or newly forged some argue to rethink the way forward for education and realize the Education 2030 goals. The United Nations (UN) ratified 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to serve as benchmarks for every nation to ensure global prosperity, protection of the planet, and eradication of poverty. This Agenda is a plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, United Nations Goal 4 of the SDGs was a unique goal-focused purely on education. This is the first time such a standalone education goal has been set and ratified. Goal 4—Quality Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning For those who agree with the role that the UN plays, it is hard to disagree with any of the goals or much of the wording. The call for a Quality Education – not merely access to any education – is a grand step in ensuring that all children, and not just those from high-income countries, have a quality education. But what do we mean by a quality education? There are some who argue that the threshold of quality education is met by focusing only on literacy and numeracy, but the SDGs are a recognition that this definition is insufficient and outdated. Education is not simply a content delivery system; rather, it is a system designed to help all children reach their full potential and enter society as full and productive citizens. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon set the SDG process in motion in 2012 by declaring that every child must be in school, and the quality of those schools must improve so that students are prepared to be productive citizens, ready to lead the future. We must make sure that what comes out of the indicator roundtables taking place in 2016 defines and addresses the term Quality Education. Too many times, we have seen the meaning of words be adjusted, stripped, diluted, or subjected to complete metamorphoses. Words and phrases like accountability and data-driven have had their well-intentioned and appropriate meanings changed. Accountability is now code for teacher evaluations linked to student academic achievement, while data driven too often equates to test scores only. data-driven active and productive members. The meaning of a Quality Education is pedagogically and developmentally sound and educates the student in becoming an active and productive members of society. A Quality Education is not measured purely by a test score or by how many words per minute a 5-year-old can read. To hark back to these simplified measurements is to do a disservice to both the student and the phrase Quality Education itself. A quality education provides the outcomes needed for individuals, communities, and societies to prosper. It allows schools to align and integrate fully with their communities and access a range of services across sectors designed to support the educational development of their students. Quality education is supported by three key pillars: ensuring access to quality teachers; providing use of quality learning tools and professional development; and the establishment of safe and supportive quality learning environments. The SDGs reflect a global consensus in our young century that education is a human right and a public good that is critical to the health and future of the world. But ours is a world of severe challenges, with millions of students under fire, unsettled and unschooled due to conflict and governments globally failing to meet their funding commitments to education, especially among their poorest citizens. Education advocates have a responsibility to promote policies that integrate schools, communities, and nations into a system that supports the development of the whole child, ensuring that each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. We must make sure that a Quality Education is just that – an education that serves each child pedagogically and developmentally. An education that is inclusive and is structured to realize the potential of each child regardless of location or economic status. Don’t let the words change their meaning—quality education is needed for all. WHY QUALITY EDUCATION MATTERS The ways that education affects poverty — and can help to end it — are well documented. But the ways education can help to end extreme poverty are only possible if education is approached in a meaningful way. 2012, then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said: “Education is about more than literacy and numeracy – it is also about citizenry. Education must fully assume its central role in helping people to forge more just, peaceful and tolerant societies.” Here are some of the ways the UN further defines “quality” education, and some of the ways we’re working towards this goal at Concern. BUILDING RELEVANT SKILLS FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS Extreme poverty is generally defined as a lack of assets or a lack of return on those assets. One of these assets is skills, including technical and vocational skills. The more relevant these skills are in the 21st Century, the more likely they are to generate a return. This not only means understanding how relevant skills have changed against the digital revolution and automation, but also against climate change, shifting societal norms, and political realities. ELIMINATING DISCRIMINATION IN EDUCATION Education is a fundamental human right. However, there are 263 million children and youth around the world who are kept out of the classroom. Many of them are excluded due to discrimination, including over 130 million girls excluded based on gender. Quality education means equality in education, at all levels, for all vulnerable populations. UNIVERSAL LITERACY AND NUMERACY According to UNESCO, if all adults acquired basic literacy and numeracy skills, an estimated 171 million people could escape extreme poverty. However, UNESCO also estimates that there are 781 million illiterate adults (over the age of 15) around the globe. Many of these adults have completed several years of education, but due to different barriers remain unable to read or count. Many of these instances are due to language minorities in a region. For example, education in Niger (which consistently ranks last on the United Nations Development Programme’s Education Index) is often limited due to language barriers in the classroom. While the national language of Niger is French, in a region like Tahoua, most children grow up speaking Hausa. A concern brought its “Mother Tongue” program into one school in Tahoua, where almost all of the 787 participating students in grades 2 and 3 read no French or Hausa. This method is in line with UNESCO’s recommendation for early teaching in the mother tongue. By beginning their education in their mother tongue and gradually transitioning to French, we saw illiteracy rates drop to 25-34% from 96-100% over four years. We’ve had similar success with this program in Haiti and Kenya. INCLUSIVE AND SAFE SCHOOLS The environment is crucial to fostering quality education. This means building and upgrading schools that are child-friendly, disability- and gender-sensitive, and provide safe, nonviolent, and inclusive spaces for kids to learn — and enjoy being kids. Unfortunately, both physical and psychological aggression and gender biases are still prevalent in far too many schools QUALIFIED TEACHERS One of the UN’s other main goals around education is to increase the population of qualified teachers, especially in the least developed countries and small island states, around the world. While many teachers receive training, it’s not always in line with the best education models, or it’s not tailored to teaching in fragile contexts. For our education programming, we want to focus on educating the next generation, but we also care about educating the educators. Our work in Mother Tongue education means ensuring that teachers have bilingual training in both the national and mother tongues of their classrooms. READY TO LEARN MORE? Concern’s work in primary education is grounded in the belief that all children have a right to learn. I believe that education is one of the best routes out of poverty and integrate it into both our development and emergency work to give extremely poor children more opportunities in life, and to support their overall well-being.

India’s central bank – the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched another interesting Ad campaign with 9XM. Part of the RBI Kehta Hai initiative, the campaign aims at creating awareness among the common man about ‘RBI’s Ombudsman’s facility. This is 9X Media’s third collaboration with the RBI which launched a series of multi-media campaigns to create awareness among people about good practices, regulations and initiatives in the banking and financial sector. The latest campaign shows RBI’s popular mascot MoneyKumar as a shayar who makes viewers aware of the Bank’s services where aggrieved customers can file their complaints against any irregularities or fraudulent transactions in the banking sector. This short yet impactful consumer awareness campaign uses music as a route to convey RBI’s message of ‘Jaankaar Baniye, Satark Rahiye!’ This campaign is created in association with Dentsu X. Mr. Prabhat Naik, Sr Partner at Dentsu X said, “It was an excellent integration curated by 9XM team to amplify the campaign message, an out-of-the-box idea bringing together serious financial conversation with melodious music offering of the channel.” 9XM is a leader in music and short format content, having created iconic animated characters, rib-tickling short-format shows with Bollywood celebrities and interesting vignettes that completely resonate with the youth. In the recent past, 9XM has collaborated with many prestigious brands giving their marketing and ad campaigns the much-needed edge in achieving their campaign objectives. Commenting on the integration with RBI, 9X Media’s Chief Business Officer, Mr. Punit Pandey said, “We are happy to present RBI’s popular mascot MoneyKumar in a unique avatar, that of a shayar. We have taken the Shayari Route to drive the important message of ‘Jaankaar Baniye, Satark Rahiye!’ From creating just a song with artist Virus in our first integration to animating MoneyKumar and creating a song which was used in all prime time shows like KBC, Indian’s Super Dancer etc ., to now presenting him as a shayar, our long term association with RBI has been extremely memorable. It has also been a great experience partnering with Dentsu, Lodestar and Prachar to build all the creatives of RBI. The shayar avatar of MoneyKumar will definitely resonate with the viewers. Music is Good, Music is Fun. Haq Se!”

It's not just a solid entertainer but also an epitome of classic filmmaking by connecting with our original roots. Director S. S. Rajamouli knows what his audience expects from him, That's why every sequence is loaded with logic, action, patriotism and entertainment . RRR 2022, Screen Time : 186 min. Directed by S.S. Rajamouli. Starring Ram Charan, N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Prakash Raj. Here it is, the third-largest film of S. S. Rajamouli, with two big stars Ram Charan and Jr.NTR. The film is based on1920 Pre-Independence period and depicts the fight against British Government in India. Ram Charan is introduced first and he is playing the character of a British Officer, but his heart melts for India. K.V Viyajyendra Prasad and Dialogue writer Sai Madhav Burra, have displayed a great screenplay and story too. The meeting of both happens on a different stage, where Ram, takes hundred of men on him to fight like a typical South Movie style. The actions and cinematography are classic shooted and there is no leak in it. The cameo of Ajay Devgn takes the story further and also makes some sudden twists too. The "Jodi" of Ram and NTR, travels the friendship from an enemy to friendship, and then the "Dosti" song is picturized. Ram has a fiancé back home; played by Alia Bhatt and Bheem has a bit of a yes /no with an English woman, Jenny (Olivia Morris). Each one of them, have their mission. Bheem played by Jr.NTR, comes along to save her tribe girl, which is kidnapped by the British Army. He brings a set of wild animals with him, which is unexpected and is very thrilling to look for. His fight begins, and the scene where a tiger attacks and he fights against it is amazingly shooted. Bheem who is on a mission to save a girl is an unknown fact that Ram is working for the British Police, and soon they are in front of each other as strong enemies to fight. The story is filled with misunderstandings, conflicts and a lot of actions, yet it is sustained the audience minds in people's minds and the audience is giving a tremendous response. From every piece of music, it is clarified that there is a lot of effort and intelligent decisions regarding the music of the film. The major one "Natu Natu " hit nearly about 120M views after the song's release. Ajay Devgn playing a cameo, is also one of the major roles. Shriya Saran also made her role fulfilled by her acting skills. The set design is also great. By the time, the film comes to end with a climax, we see a fabulous look of Lord Rama in Hindu scripture and that too is a mesmerizing one. Dialogues hit, songs hit, actions hit, and acting hit, everything at its perfect position has done the job great for RRR, Ram Charan, NTR, and Rajamouli. With an IMDB rating of 9.1/10 and a box office collection of the 700CR mark, the film is celebrating its presence in Theatres. There is no surprise The biggest event film out of India this year comes not from Bollywood, but from its southern cousin as we observed the growth of south indian cinema.

Some Incidents may test you like never before , on the other hand, it makes you believe that there is still some goodness in the world. Though there are a lot of new movies , shows awaiting review , I want you to open up Mumbai Diaries on 26/11 Incidents might be temporary but scars may last forever The first season of Mumbai Diaries 26/11 was released on 9 September 2021 on the Amazon Prime Video platform. This series shows the devastating atmosphere which was created by terrorists on 26 November 2008. They attacked various famous spots in Mumbai city. Terrorists targeted five prominent places of the financial capital – Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, Nariman House business and residential complex, Cama Hospital, Leopold Cafe, the Oberoi-Trident Hotel, and Taj Hotel and Tower. Thus, creating a fiction story based on these attacks, the series shows the ideology, evacuation, and memories of people related to these attacks. The series is directed by Nikhil Advani and Nikhil Gonsalves. They have really put an astonishing effort to display many things as they were happening in parts of the city. The first two episodes show the attack on Leopold Cafe and the causes of it, which were the dead bodies arriving in the Bombay General Hospital. At first, the assumption of hospital staff was small gunfire or gang war. Soon, the number of patients increased and came the news be that it is a well-planned terrorist attack and the panic begins then. They rush towards the hospital, finding and locating relatives. Some scenes took from Taj Palace, where a hotel staff takes lead to save the people who were stuck in a hotel, to evacuate them. Both directors made effort to put visuals of a terrorist attack and worked on every detail. The Director of Photography (DOP), Kaushal Shah, makes it more interesting to watch the shots from the hospital and also the attacks are shown in various parts of Mumbai city. The Trainee doctors Sujata, Diya, and Ahaan, acted very well to portray each given character. They gave full loyalty to their role. The trainee played each by Mrunmayee Deshpande, Natasha Bharadwaj and Satyajeet Dubey show the spirit and a perfect doctor model, as they help and cure people injured in attacks. It is great to see, Prakash Belawadi aka Dr Mani Subramanium, again in a different role of a strong doctor. Mohit Rana aka Dr Kaushik, a strong-headed doctor, tries to find a solution in every situation as a doctor and also as a normal man. Konkona Sen Sharma, wasted her most of role, being at gunpoint and bombed. It would be better if she would also be involved in some actions. A reporter role played by Shreya Dhanwantary, makes some twists and turns, each in balanced profit of Police force and also terrorist organization. The complications and disturbance inside the palace hotel, make an emotional drama, is OK to watch. Most of the things, shown are heard and seen on Media, making sense to what is picturized. All the actors have given their best to their roles and also played them well, keeping the series lively and watchable. We initially see that each character of the series, is looking for their own safety and their own profit, as the situation gets worse, they all realize that it is not a normal attack, each of the characters pounces up to help each other, making a number of ways to get out of the situation. Mumbai Diaries ends up becoming a never-ending saga of interesting characters rather than a taut thriller of a life-altering real event. One more thing I read on some Facebook post I would like to include over here The long-form possibilities of television are finally allowing an intimate look at the emotional journeys of those who were caught up in the attacks; the focus, this time, is on the first-responders and healthcare workers who struggled to cope with an unprecedented crisis. In eight episodes spanning the attacks’ first 24 hours, the show combines the storytelling techniques of two-hit US shows — medical series ER and counter-terrorism thriller 24, whose events took place over one day. If we talk about the reception from the audience or critic, The statement below may create the correct impact "Mumbai Diaries 26/11 is undeniably a medical drama you won’t regret seeing"- Bhavna Agarwal from Bollywood Bubble With an IDMB rating of 9.1/10, this series is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

A great conversation on the future of Education and skills education on the 7th Episode of THE KRYPTONITE SHOW !!! Dr Pratik shared interesting facts, anecdotes and information on a topic that is really doing the rounds in global education!! Catch the show on the YouTube channel of Chilparco International https://youtu.be/0RJJkKQsfhs If You are a regular reader You can read the complete transcript over here The Future of Skills Education 2030 : Need for new solutions in a rapidly changing world Societies are changing rapidly and profoundly. The first challenge is environmental: e.g. • Climate change and the depletion of natural resources require urgent action and adaptation. A second challenge is economic: e.g. • Scientific knowledge is creating new opportunities and solutions that can enrich our lives, while at the same time fuelling disruptive waves of change in every sector. Unprecedented innovation in science and technology, especially in biotechnology and artificial intelligence, is raising fundamental questions about what it is to be human. It is time to create new economic, social and institutional models that pursue better lives for all. • Financial interdependence at local, national and regional levels has created global value chains and a sharing economy, but also pervasive uncertainty and exposure to economic risk and crises. Data is being created, used and shared on a vast scale, holding out the promise of expansion, growth and improved efficiency while posing new problems of cyber security and privacy protection. A third challenge is social : e.g. • As the global population continues to grow, migration, urbanisation and increasing social and cultural diversity are reshaping countries and communities. the • In large parts of the world, inequalities in living standards and life chances are widening, while conflict, instability and inertia, often intertwined with populist politics, are eroding trust and confidence in government itself. At the same time, the threats of war and terrorism are escalating. These global trends are already affecting individual lives and may do so for decades to come. They have triggered a global debate that matters to every country, and call for global and local solutions. The OECD Education 2030 contributes to the UN 2030 Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs), aiming to ensure the sustainability of people, profit, planet and peace, through partnership. Need for broader education goals: Individual and collective well-being unless steered with a purpose, the rapid advance of science and technology may widen inequities, exacerbate social fragmentation and accelerate resource depletion. In the 21st century, that purpose has been increasingly defined in terms of well-being. But well-being involves more than access to material resources, such as income and wealth, jobs and earnings, and housing. It is also related to thequality of life, including health, civic engagement, social connections, education, security, life satisfaction and the environment. Equitable access to all of these underpins the concept of inclusive growth. Education has a vital role to play in developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable people to contribute to and benefit from an inclusive and sustainable future. Learning to form clear and purposeful goals, work with others with different perspectives, find untapped opportunities and identify multiple solutions to big problems will be essential in the coming years. Education needs to aim to do more than prepare young people for the world of work; it needs to equip students with the skills they need to become active, responsible and engaged citizens. Learner agency: Navigating through complex and uncertain world future-ready students need to exercise agency, in their own education and throughout life. Agency implies a sense of responsibility to participate in the world and, in so doing, to influence people, events and circumstances for the better. Agency requires the ability to frame a guiding purpose and identify actions to achieve a goal. To help enable agency, educators must not only recognise learners’ individuality but also acknowledge the wider set of relationships – with their teachers, peers, families and communities – that influence their learning. A concept underlying the learning framework is “co-agency” – the interactive, mutually supportive relationships that help learners to progress towards their valued goals. In this context, everyone should be considered a learner, not only students but also teachers, school managers, parents and communities. Two factors, in particular, help learners enable agency. The first is a personalised learning environment that supports and motivates each student to nurture his or her passions, make connections between different learning experiences and opportunities, and design their own learning projects and processes in collaboration with others. The second is building a solid foundation: literacy and numeracy remain crucial. In the era of digital transformation and with the advent of big data, digital literacy and data literacy are becoming increasingly essential, as are physical health and mental well-being. Need for a broad set of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in action Students who are best prepared for the future are change agents. They can have a positive impact on their surroundings, influence the future, understand others' intentions, actions and feelings, and anticipate the short and long-term consequences of what they do. The concept of competency implies more than just the acquisition of knowledge and skills; it involves the mobilisation of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to meet complex demands. Future-ready students will need both broad and specialised knowledge. Disciplinary knowledge will continue to be important, as the raw material from which new knowledge is developed, together with the capacity to think across the boundaries of disciplines and “connect the dots”. Epistemic knowledge, or knowledge about the disciplines, such as knowing how to think like a mathematician, historian or scientist, will also be significant, enabling students to extend their disciplinary knowledge. Procedural knowledge is acquired by understanding how something is done or made – the series of steps or actions taken to accomplish a goal. Some procedural knowledge is domain-specific, and some are transferable across domains. It typically develops through practical problem-solving, such as through design thinking and systems thinking. Students will need to apply their knowledge in unknown and evolving circumstances. For this, they will need a broad range of skills, including cognitive and meta-cognitive skills (e.g. critical thinking, creative thinking, learning to learn and self-regulation); social and emotional skills (e.g. empathy, self-efficacy and collaboration); and practical and physical skills (e.g. using new information and communication technology devices). The use of this broader range of knowledge and skills will be mediated by attitudes and values (e.g. motivation, trust, respect for diversity and virtue). The attitudes and values can be observed at personal, local, societal and global levels. While human life is enriched by the diversity of values and attitudes arising from different cultural perspectives and personality traits, there are some human values (e.g. respect for life and human dignity, and respect for the environment, to name two) that cannot be compromised.

India is a cricket crazy country. Cricket is not just a game, it's an emotion for Indians. It's a country where a billion people pray for the best of the eleven guys who represent the nation. The world cup victory of 1983 led by Kapil Dev didn't just break the West Indian domination, it made cricket the biggest religion in the country, with the devotees of the game increasing day by day. Since then, every time India played the grandest event of cricket, The World cup, Indians prayed for the title to come back to India. After a lot of effort, the prayers of these devotees turned into reality as MS Dhoni hit a six to long ending the 28-year-long wait for India to lift the World Cup title. In a contrasting way, the usually aggressive Gautam Gambhir played a calm and composed inning of 97 crucial runs, and the usually calm MS Dhoni played a quickfire inning of 91 off 79 deliveries to make the dream of India a reality. Billions rejoiced the moment, and the entire cricketing fraternity stood up in respect of the God of cricket when he was lifted by his teammates and his very own Wankhede was lit up by the scenes happening on the cricket ground. With it, India became the first host team to win the title. But the wait was too long. The 28 years were full of ups and downs for Indian cricket. Post the heroics of Kapil Dev and his team who brought glory to the country, there had been no instances of Indians getting to relive the moment again. India came very close in 1996 and 2003, but the 1996 world cup ended with a tragedy and the 2003 final which was supposed to be the best night for the players turned out to be a nightmare. But the Indian team fought. Leaving the forgettable 2007 World cup behind, India did the unthinkable in the 2007 T20 world cup by winning the inaugural edition and then looked all set to bounce back strongly to show they are the best team. MS Dhoni did what the previous captains could not do despite trying so harder. The Ranchi boy led the balanced Indian side to bring glory to the cricket crazy nation again. The most special thing about the world cup was the collective team effort that led the team to achieve this feat. With the God of cricket who scored more than 500 runs in the tournament, Sehwag starting innings with a boundary, Sreesanth aggressively bowling the opponents, Zaheer reverses swinging the ball in crucial times, Ashwin scalping Waston with his carrom ball, Gambhir shifting his position from opener to one down and yet scoring the crucial runs for the team, Bhajji spinning magic on the field, and Yuvraj Singh playing his heart out to fight all the odds and inspiring generations, the team looked the perfectly balanced team who was backed by one another. The confidence of the team was sky-high. Barring the loss against the Protea team and the tie against England, India didn't lose any other game. In the quarter-finals, they knocked out the defending champions and the earlier three consecutive title winners Australia in a thriller in Ahmedabad. In the high voltage semi-final clash, they defeated the arch-rivals Pakistan in Mohali. And in the final, they chased down a good total of 275 runs against Sri Lanka thereby clinching the title. This world cup victory was a very emotional sight for Indian fans due to numerous reasons. The major reason was that it was probably the last world cup of the man who ruled the world cricket and who made cricket famous-Sachin Tendulkar. They had seen him lift the team on numerous occasions and wanted him to lift a well-deserved trophy, which they were fortunate to witness. Another major reason was the star performer of the tournament, Yuvraj Singh's courageous act of giving 100% to the team despite suffering from Cancer was something that Indians has no clue about during the tournament but got to know later.

When one speaks about the most successful captains of India, one would think of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Saurab Ganguly, Kapil Dev. All these people took India to a different level, making the team one of the most successful teams in the cricketing world. But there are few captains, who might not be the most successful ones, but we're the of the Indian team's first few success stories. If one has to speak about such captains, who made Indians taste success for the first time, the name of Ajit Wadekar has to appear at the top place. But Wadekar's contribution to Indian cricket was not just limited to his captaincy. He was an excellent batter. He used to bat at the most prestigious number three position while batting for the team. Playing 37 tests for India, he scores 2113 runs which included 1 century and 14 half-centuries. He was an aggressive batter, who used to display his aggression with his bat, with a call head over his shoulder. In tests too, aggressive batting was his trademark. The same attitude had earlier yielded him greatly in domestic cricket where he had scored more than 15000 runs overall. Apart from just being a wonderful captain and aggressive batter, he was one of the most amazing slip fielders to play during his generation. The close fielding unit of Eknath Solkar at forwarding short leg, Abid Ali and Wadekar in the slips was strong enough to dread the batter to defend the ball as the slightest of the margins would ensure the ball is caught by these. These men with their quick reflexes made the spin quartet of India consisting of Erapalli Prasanna, Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrashekhar and Venkatraghavan successful and memorable. Speaking of tests Wadekar and his contribution are known to everyone. He created history by winning the first series in England and West Indies. And in One Day International, his name was written in history books as the first ODI captain of the half-century Indian team, which now has played over a thousand ODI's which is most by any cricketing nation. In the historic first ODI for India in 1974 in Headingly, Wadekar also hit a half century, but it came as a losing cause for the team. Post that match, very soon he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He played for a brief period for Men in Blue, but he made it sure that the team he led for the first time had enhanced its standards in international cricket by the time he retired. Also, he showcased to the world that India can win games in overseas tough conditions too. A new generation of cricketers is stars. But the older generation of players were the ones who made the sky for these stars to shine The likes of Wadekar and all these older generations of cricketers were special because they played the game purely for their passion and love for the gentlemen's game, and not for the commercial aspect which is visible in today's game. Their passion led ThisIndia's roadmap to success in the cricketing world. Which is why, today, even after 48 years of Wadekar's retirement, he is still regarded as one of the finest gems of Indian cricket, who paved the way to India's glory.

Their expertise is drawn on to stimulate the education fraternity and lead online programmes and boardroom strategy sessions. It is a main worldwide speakers stage for school pioneers, Principals, Vice Principals and Educators. This syndicated program was begun by Dr RK Das in 2021 Let's read what he said on the stage Family is our first introduction to this physical world. It is also our blueprint, giving us our genes, ancestral experiences, and earthly ties. Family means so much more than nice dinners on the weekend. It can be a deep source of spiritual sustenance and meaning. Family teaches you the values that guide you Family isn’t all sunshine and roses: but for better or worse it teaches you the values that guide you. Psychologists agree that our early childhood experiences and observation of our parents do more than almost anything to shape the person we become. Family is our first school: it’s where we learn who we are, where we fit in, and what we can contribute to the world. It’s where we face the unique challenges, rewards and situations that help us learn how to navigate the outside world later on. Our parents, guardians, or relatives who raise us have more power than anyone will ever have for the rest of our lives. They can shape our minds and hearts in powerful and lasting ways. When the going gets rough, family is there Some families are more supportive than others, but for those blessed with a caring and attendant family, the benefits are numerous. For one thing, family is there when other support systems fall through. Maybe you’re sick but don’t have the energy to drive to the medical clinic? Family comes through… Maybe you need a break from work and are having a nervous breakdown but don’t know how you’ll cover the lapse in income? Family is there… To the best of their ability, families do what they can to support those in their immediate and extended network. This is so much different than a lot of the external world where many things are so transactional and money-based.“When life gets hard, people need support. This can be emotional and/or financial support.“Someone going through rough times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love.” Strong family life encourages economic stability One of the biggest reasons family is important is that families are the economic unit of well-functioning societies. This may be a controversial statement, and plenty of cultures have different concepts of what defines a family. But what I mean here is that a group of people – often related by blood – who stick together through thick and thin, are vital to the trade and commerce of a community. They are havens of trust and dependability, providing a reliable base from which society is formed and expanded outward. The family sends their kids to school and works local jobs. The family shops at the supermarket and supports local businesses. The family invests in their community and sticks in it for the long haul. That’s what makes the family such a cornerstone of economic life. Families encourage healthier eating habits This is especially true of those family units who still sit down around the supper table and prepare a home-cooked meal. Slow-cooking and putting thought and planning into a meal have beneficial effects. It’s even better if someone in the family is health-focused or knows about nutrition, and cooks intentionally to make both healthy and delicious food.“Across all ages, families who eat meals together have healthier diets that include eating breakfast, ample fruits and vegetables, and fewer processed foods,” These healthy food choices create a foundation that lasts up to five years later for teens,” she adds. Family offers moral and spiritual support In a world that can be cruel and cold, family is that backbone we can turn back to. It offers moral and spiritual support when the world seems uncaring, indifferent, or even spiteful towards us. Our mom and dad, relatives or guardians, are those tasked with raising us. They didn’t do it for the money, and their love is real. Even the most messed up families have some kind of bond, and that bond is what we can turn to when the going gets rough. The spiritual lessons family provides can also last a lifetime. Hearing from those you respect and love about the experiences, beliefs and values that shaped and guided their life can be a deeply invaluable lesson. Family provides love with no strings attached Some families do put conditions on love. But at its essence, family is about unconditional love. It’s about people who love you for who you are and who you could be. People who see the best in you even when you fall short, and grieve when you let yourself and others down. It’s folks who truly want the best for you out there in the world and who do what they can to make it happen. Sometimes doing what they can is as simple as telling you that you’re loved and that they believe in you. In a way, this is the best thing any family member can do for you in the end.“Just like a few of our basic requirements to live life. A human being also requires several other emotional needs like love, which is essential for mental happiness. Happy families lead to happier societies and nations There’s a saying that happiness begins at home. I wholeheartedly agree. Whatever your family or core home group looks like, the dynamics of that group define so much about who you become and what you value. On a wider scale, a fulfilling family life leads to a more vibrant and satisfying society as a whole. When I think of the places I’ve loved most in the world in Eurasia, the Middle East and South America, there’s one thing they all had in common: They were very family-centred. That led to amazing feelings of belonging, hospitality and spending time together that I didn’t experience as much in more fractured, modern nations. Families can be a source of lifesaving advice. A lot of the best advice I’ve ever received is from my mom, even if I get annoyed by it at times. Later I look back and realize she knew what she was talking about! That’s family for you: not always what you want at the moment, but often what you need. Family members know you well enough to tell you the harsh truth when it needs to be told. They will tell you whether the person you’re dating is right for you in their view. They will tell you you’re getting fat (in a nice way)…Your family won’t sugarcoat the truth, but they’ll hopefully always have your best interests in mind.“Family to me means encouragement, comfort, advice, values, morals, faith, understanding, hope and lots more.” Family gives us our genetic heritage and ancestral ties The blood that runs through our veins and the energy that went into making us is not random or meaningless. It’s tied to deep stories, experiences, genetic memories, and historical events. It can often be tied to our future destiny, challenges and talents as well. I believe that the tragedies and triumphs of our ancestors live in us at a cellular, subconscious level. Instead of past lives, I believe we are the embodiment of our ancestors’ lives in a certain way, with the addition of our own unique “I” and individuality. Families show the value of solidarity during tough times One of the top reasons family is important is solidarity. When the shit hits the fan, the family teaches you not to run and hide. It teaches you to stick together and weather the storm. Family is about solidarity and supporting each other. Like a team that never gives up in the face of adversity, the strong family never fractures apart under the onslaught of life. Divorce, illness – even death – will never be enough to tear apart a tough and loving family. Family helps build community spirit As I mentioned earlier, happy families help improve society as a whole. They make it a more welcoming place, maintain traditions and provide that hospitable and sharing spirit that makes a house into a home. The simple truth is that families help build community spirit. They turn a block of houses into more than just random structures. The addition of kids ties parents together in so many more ways as well, leading to all sorts of connections and shared efforts to make life and the surrounding community positive and safe for the youngsters.“Parents tend to get involved with their community more often than people living alone.“What’s more, they teach their children at a young age that the only way they can control what kind of community they have is to contribute to it.” Positive family ties improve mental health Having a positive family experience leads to better mental health. When you have that rock-solid network you can always rely back on upon, an enormous pressure gets taken off your chest. You don’t have to go through the world alone or be desperate for love when you already have it at home. You’re now able to give love, to give stability, and to give reassurance to others. Families show us how to form relationships and love Watching family members is the first way that most of us learn how to love. We see the way our parents do – or don’t – care for each other, and we imitate and internalize it. Family experiences and relations are so crucial to our own experience of what we become later in life. I’m not saying that if you come from a troubled family you’re doomed, but statistics show it’s certainly a harder row to hoe to obtain future success in your personal and professional life.“These familial relationships often form the basis for how people interact with society and the relationships they will form as members of the community.” Family gives us interpersonal challenges that help us grow Lastly, and certainly not least, one of the best things about family can be how bad it is sometimes. This sounds crazy, but in many cases it’s true. The challenges and misunderstandings that arise in families can be some of the toughest experiences we have ever gone through. They can lead to serious rifts, deep hurt, or even fistfights. But they can also give us opportunities to grow and see ourselves in a new light. Problems and clashes within a family can become the ultimate test. For example, having a parent who constantly undermines you and cuts you down can be an excellent opportunity to define your worth for yourself and learn not to base your value on the opinion of others.

I remember the famous essay “Myself” whereas a school kid I use to write the same few sentences on the self of having my two eyes, a nose, two hands, and long tresses. As time passes, I kept this essay on Self closest to my heart and kept the journey of my evolution with my strengths, passions, and got developed as an Empowered Influencer. In the journey of my evolution, I started to make my own decisions make my own choices, and understand the consequences of every decision. I got developed as action-oriented. When I was nominated for Woman Skydiving Team, I learned to be deliberative like understanding the direction of winds. and respond to situations like opening the parachute. My left wrist was fractured in the 9th jump but since the selection of the team was in progress, I decided to get my wrist treated with a private doctor and developed my resilience at an early stage of life. While undergoing the Young Officers course a pony stepped over my ankle and I decided to make it so strong once it gets healed so that I am back on my long runs. And here my willpower was getting developed. On a whole, Namrata was getting developed as a Passionate Go-Getter and since I was mindful and conscious about every evolution and development the essay“My Self” was also continuously evolving with my innate talents getting transformed into strength. The conscious navigation of the path of life where you are aware of your emotions, your strengths, and your values opens the door to opportunities. These are the major constructs of any and every persona. How do we awaken our excellence is by being aware of our emotions which not only play at the conscious but majorly at the subconscious level. And when we are mindful and aware of our present, the subconscious mind receives signals from the present thoughts and emotions and converts that into reality. Hence a simple process of being in NOW, being in present, being AWARE is the key to achieving a splendid and successful life. How an understanding of emotions reflects your strengths profile and journey to success.? After being aware of our emotions we reflect on our certain choices, the why of what we do, why we have a liking for certain things and why are we better at some things. Once we are aware of the activities which make us happy and empowering, we begin following them and we realize that we don’t have to put in much effort because of the joy that we are getting. These activities are driven by our emotions and backed up by our talents. And there we understand our talents. Awareness of talents thus makes everyone unique as they represent innate potential and where you are genius. And when the talents are tapped, we tap on our potential to succeed. The understanding of talent makes us special and how we can use them to do exceptionally well. Significantly, we know how to get empowered once we begin our strengths journey. As phrased by Thomas Edison “If we all did the things, we are capable of doing, we would astound ourselves.” How do we begin to flex our talents? Talent is a natural way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Like if your talent is Analytical- you might be a little serious and like to stay away from the crowd. Are you jovial and get the momentum going with your energy; which is one of the traits of having Positivity as your talent. How good are you in staying connected with people will reflect on your number of friends, yes real friends with whom you go and hang out for coffee? You will have connectedness as your talent. And yes, do you feel envious of your friend if they do well, how well are you using Competition as your talent? When you decide to exercise these talents and transform them into strengths-based practice with a conscious awareness you create an Individual Development Plan to achieve success and create excellence in your life. Be it to assimilate your new team and you want to function as an interdependent team or wish to embark on your entrepreneurial journey or mend any relation, the awareness of the talents always makes you aware of your Problem Statement. Then you aim to take the intentional steps to leverage your talents. Once you get the crucial insights you claim your empowerment. Using your strengths to explore a goal or challenge not only makes you closer to your innate talents but also creates awareness about your behavioural patterns and there you get closer to yourself. With this closeness and awareness of yourself, you embark on the journey of success. So be aware of your every thought, emotion and talent master them, and make them your Strengths is a simple process of Self Awareness. So, Begin your journey of Empowerment and Excellence by Self Awareness and the journey of life!!

Dr C. Sharat Babu, Managing Partner of Sharat Maxivision Eye Hospitals has been honoured with the Rotarian Recognition award for his outstanding achievement in the field of medicine –Ophthalmology by Rotary International. Dr Sharat Babu has been felicitated at a conference of Rotary International (District 3150) in the city. K.Prabhakar – District Governor - Rotary International (District 3150) handed over the certificate of excellence to Dr Sharat on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion Dr C. Sharat Babu, Managing partner of Sharat Maxivision Eye Hospitals said, We started our journey as Sharat Laser Eye Hospital in 1993 as part of an Integrated Rural Development Model in the remote rural area of Erstwhile Warangal district of Telangana, India and have been on the path to comprehensive and quality eye care since then. We also achieved the distinction of being the first and the only centre to provide ophthalmic subspecialty treatment in Telangana districts. Sharat Maxivision Eye Hospital is a pioneer in actively translating all the public health principles and concepts through promoting a “Comprehensive Rural Health Model " for the last 30 years in rural Telangana, India with a mission to “serve the rural poor & marginalized sections of society”. Photo1: Left to right: PDG Ratna Prabhakar A, District Governor K Prabhakar, PDG Dr C Sharat Babu, PDG Ravi Vadlamani In 2019 October we made a giant leap in our endeavour of providing healthy eye care by merging our Sharat Eye Hospital with Maxivision Eye Hospitals, one of the leading super speciality eye care networks in South India. We are now under the name Dr Sharat Maxivision Eye Hospitals LLP. We are currently serving in Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam and this year we are coming up with 2 more tertiary care centres and 6 Secondary centres. We are very happy to get associated with Operational Eyesight Universal, Canada Under this association we have established 6 Vision Centres 1. Mulkanoor and 2.Kothakonda, 3.Mulugu, 4. Asifabad, 5.Narsampet and 6.Parkal delivers primary eye care for the needy and comes up with 50 vision centres in Telangana in the next 3 years. We have adopted 44 villages in and around the Warangal district where we have performed approximately appx 17,000 free Cataract surgeries to date. We have declared 16 villages as the Avoidable blind free villages and 8 are in pipeline to be declared. Photo2: Left to right: District Governor K Prabhakar felicitating PDG Dr C Sharat Babu, PDG Ravi Vadlamani also seen in the picture Avoidable blindness free village is a concept that has been developed, tested and achieved by Operation Eyesight which ensures that all villagers irrespective of gender, caste and creed are provided with an opportunity to undergo eye check-ups and treated for curable eye conditions and regain their lost vision, a project team consisting Community Health Workers (CHWs), Project Coordinator and optometrist who are selected from the project area and trained in the eye and general health care include the methodology of conducting door to door survey, identify eye problems, behaviour change communication etc. The project covers a target population of 1-1.5 lakhs and continues to provide eye health services for 4 years till all the villages are declared as avoidable blindness free villages . As a result of the project intervention in these underserved areas, the target communities were benefitted through various activities from the project. This in turn led to the elimination of “Avoidable Blindness Free Villages” (ABFV) in some of the underserved areas of rural Telangana. In 2019 We have started Community Based Diabetic Retinopathy (CBDR) Project and did the staff recruitment, training and did the 50% of the population survey in the Warangal district which we have resumed last year due to covid-19 pandemic.
