  • Prashant Singh wins Gentleman’s Ride in Dehradun, Championing Mental Health and Environmental Consciousness

    Prashant Singh wins Gentleman’s Ride in Dehradun, Championing Mental Health and Environmental Consciousness

    Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 10: In a celebration of style, solidarity, and social responsibility, Prashant Singh stole the spotlight in this year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride held in Dehradun. The annual event, renowned for its unique blend of elegance and advocacy, saw riders dressed in sharp suits, waistcoats, ties, and vintage attire riding through the city streets on classic motorcycles—all in support of a noble cause.

    This year’s theme focused on raising awareness about mental health, a subject gaining much-needed attention across the globe. Prashant Singh, a familiar face in both adventure circuits and ecological campaigns, led the ride with poise and purpose, echoing the message that emotional well-being is just as vital as physical health.

    Participants rode through key parts of Dehradun, turning heads and starting conversations—not just because of their dapper appearance, but because of the powerful message they carried. Singh, ever the thoughtful leader, said, “Mental health is not a private burden, it’s a shared concern. This ride is about showing that we care—and we are here for one another.”

    Though this ride wasn’t an extreme expedition, Singh’s reputation as a daring adventurer precedes him. Earlier in February, he had braved the unforgiving winter conditions of the Lahaul and Spiti Valley, completing one of the most challenging solo rides in the Himalayas. His journey through snow-covered passes and remote high-altitude terrains had earned him accolades from biking communities across India.

    Yet, beyond the biker helmet lies a deeper identity—that of a passionate nature conservationist. Singh is also the founder of the Doon Litchie Campaign, a local ecological movement that has been revitalizing the Dehradun and Mussoorie landscape by planting hundreds of Doon Litchie tree saplings each year. This rare and indigenous tree species had once faced the threat of extinction, but Singh’s consistent efforts have helped restore its presence, offering shelter to native birds, bees, and wildlife.

    “Everything is connected—our environment, our mental health, our sense of purpose,” Singh remarked after the ride. “Riding a bike in a suit today and planting a tree tomorrow are both acts of care—for ourselves, for our community, and for the future.”

    The event concluded with a gathering at a local café, where participants shared stories, discussed mental health challenges, and pledged to keep the conversation alive year-round.

    With his polished boots, vintage motorcycle, and unwavering commitment to both inner and outer well-being, Prashant Singh continues to redefine what it means to be a true gentleman rider—elegant, empathetic, and ever in service of a greater cause.

  • Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha’s Roktodan Utsav Sees 2,545 Donors in Major Kolkata Blood Drive

    Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha’s Roktodan Utsav Sees 2,545 Donors in Major Kolkata Blood Drive

    Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 9: On 01st June 2025, Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha successfully conducted the 15th edition of its flagship event, Roktodan Utsav, a mass voluntary blood donation initiative that has become a landmark civic activity in North Kolkata. According to official figures shared by the organizing committee, the event registered a record 2,545 blood donors this year, making it one of the largest single-day blood donation efforts in the city.

    Held at the association’s community premises in Bonhooghly, the event drew wide participation from various neighbourhoods including Baranagar, Dunlop, and Sinthee. The initiative, which began in 2010 with limited local outreach, has gradually scaled into a structured community-driven event with logistical support from licensed blood banks, certified medical practitioners, and local volunteers.

    The organizers confirmed that all donations followed proper medical protocols, with pre-screening, on-site doctor availability, and aftercare stations set up for donors.

    15 Years of Public Engagement

    The 15th anniversary of Roktodan Utsav reflects the sustained community commitment to public health awareness. A representative from Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha noted, “Each year, the drive sees growth in numbers, particularly among first-time donors and youth. Our aim has always been to encourage regular, voluntary blood donation and contribute meaningfully to local healthcare infrastructure.”

    In addition to blood donation, this year’s program included free health consultations, awareness drives on rare blood disorders like thalassemia, and general education on responsible donation practices. Several NGOs and medical professionals collaborated to provide support services and public education during the event.

    Involvement of Local Social Workers

    The event was also supported by a number of independent social workers and civic organizers. One of the notable contributors this year was Sankar Routh, who has become a well-recognized name in community service in Baranagar and surrounding areas.

    Widely regarded by residents as among the best social workers in Baranagar, Sankar Routh has been actively involved in welfare programs beyond the annual blood drive. His social impact work spans education, public health, animal welfare, women’s support, and pandemic relief.

    During the COVID-19 crisis, Routh played a central role in relief operations in North Kolkata. He spearheaded the distribution of food supplies to over 1,00,000 individuals, organized 24×7 oxygen cylinder assistance, coordinated ambulance services, and supported daily sanitization efforts across several wards.

    His work extended to providing daily meals for more than 100 street dogs in Baranagar, a practice that continues today. In the area of education, he regularly assists students from underprivileged families with laptops, test materials, and schoolbooks, ensuring they are not left behind in a digitally advancing academic system.

    Additionally, Sankar Routh has organized scholarship support for Class 10 and 12 students, and has contributed towards financial aid for unmarried women and daily medical needs for low-income families. His efforts are also visible through local environmental activities—he currently serves as Vice President of Green Nagorik, promoting tree plantation and civic cleanliness programs.

    To follow his ongoing community initiatives, many residents refer to his public page at facebook.com/ItsSankarRouth, where regular updates and volunteer mobilizations are shared.

    Growing Youth Involvement

    One of the highlights of this year’s Roktodan Utsav was the active involvement of youth volunteers and college students. Organizers estimated that over 800 of the 2,545 donors were individuals under the age of 30. Many were first-time participants, with several educational institutions encouraging their students to attend and contribute.

    The increase in youth turnout aligns with the broader objective of building a civic culture rooted in proactive public health contribution. Educational posters, digital sign-up kiosks, and on-ground sensitization played a role in simplifying the process for newcomers.

    Looking Ahead: Health and Welfare as Shared Responsibility

    With the growing scale of Roktodan Utsav and increasing public engagement, Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha has announced plans to expand its scope next year to include health diagnosticsorgan donor registrations, and community insurance awareness sessions. Collaborations with public hospitals and digital health startups are also being explored for greater impact.

    Social workers like Sankar Routh are expected to remain integral to such initiatives, given their established presence and credibility in community mobilization. Many residents in the area cite Routh’s consistent involvement as a reason why social awareness around health, education, and welfare continues to gain traction at the grassroots level.

    The 2025 edition of Roktodan Utsav stands out not only for its scale—2,545 units of blood collected in a single day—but also for its commitment to structured social engagement. With support from civic-minded individuals, grassroots organizations, and a mobilized youth population, Bonhooghly Yubak Sangha under the able leadership of Sankar Routh continues to set a template for effective, long-term community health initiatives in Kolkata.

    Driving India’s Engineering Future with Purpose and Pride : Devashree Nampurkar

    New Delhi [India], June 6: India’s industrial landscape is rapidly evolving, with sectors like defense, marine, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals demanding innovation, agility, and indigenous engineering excellence. Amid this transformation, a new generation of leaders is stepping forward—bold, purpose-driven, and globally aware. Among them, Devashree Nampurkar stands out as a powerful force—combining technical acumen, business strategy, and a deep commitment to national growth.

    Devashree’s journey is defined by a unique blend of grassroots connection and global vision. With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, she grounded herself in core engineering principles while staying closely connected to her roots in Maharashtra. Her early professional experiences at Aqua Chill Systems gave her valuable insight into real-world industrial operations, but her passion for strategy and enterprise soon led her to pursue a Master’s in Business and Management from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

    Devashree’s early professional years were marked by roles at Avalon as a Corporate Strategist and later at Ador Welding Limited, where she focused on branding, sales, and digital marketing. These roles gave her a comprehensive view of both SME and large-scale business dynamics. Confident and equipped with relevant experience, she knew it was time to return to where her heart had always belonged — Shree Refrigerations.

    In 2016, Devashree officially joined Shree Refrigerations through the Business Development Department, with a focus on the Industrial Chillers segment. At the time, the company’s primary revenue came from printing chillers and spray damping systems. She took the initiative to explore new verticals and identified untapped opportunities in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Her efforts, especially in promoting Brine Chillers, began shaping a new growth path for the company.

    Drawing from her past experience at Ador Welding, recognizing the need for broader leadership skills, she also enrolled in an SME-focused entrepreneur program that strengthened her grasp on finance, HR, and structured business processes — all of which she implemented to improve operational efficiency and drive sustainable growth at Shree.

    Today, as a dynamic leader and strategic thinker, Nampurkar envisions Shree Refrigerations as a cornerstone of “Make in India” innovation. Guided by the visionary foundation laid by her father, Mr. Ravalnath Shende, and strengthened by her own forward-thinking approach, the company has become a true milestone of national pride.

    Devashree Nampurkar represents the modern Indian industrial leader: resilient, visionary, and unapologetically ambitious. Her mantra—“Building self-reliant India. Where dreams meet determination.”—is not just a slogan; it is a call to action for India’s manufacturing and engineering sectors to rise with purpose and pride.

    As the Executive Director of Shree Refrigerations Limited, Devashree continues to drive innovation while staying rooted in Karad, Maharashtra. Under her leadership, the company has evolved into a beacon of indigenous capability, contributing to India’s self-reliant future—one engineered solution at a time.

The event, organized under TS Publication, wasn’t just a literary milestone—it was a profound tribute to motherhood, love, and remembrance.

    The date of the launch held special emotional significance, as it marked the birthday of Mr. Sethi’s late mother, Mrs. Karuna Sethi. The author honored her legacy and the boundless love she represented by dedicating this book to her memory. “Maa” is more than just a collection of words—it is a soul-stirring expression of the unconditional love, strength, and sacrifices of mothers. Each page resonates with the emotions every child feels but may never fully express.

    A Star-Studded Guest List

    The book launch was graced by several esteemed dignitaries and prominent community members, making the evening even more special:

    • Raj Kumar Bhatia ji, Hon’ble MLA from Adarsh Nagar

    • Amit Nagpal ji, Respected Councillor

    • Anju Jain ji, Former Councillor

    • Mohinder Nagpal ji, Hon’ble MLA

    • Tusharika Sharma,Founder of Truth and Social Publication

    Their presence added prestige to the occasion and echoed the sentiment that every individual carries the touch of their mother’s teachings in their journey—be it in politics, education, or business.

    A Night of Reflection and Recognition

    The event commenced with a heartfelt address by Mr. Varun Sethi, who shared glimpses of his personal bond with his mother and the inspiration behind writing Maa. “This book is not just my story, it’s every child’s silent gratitude to their mother,” he said, visibly emotional.

    The attendees reflected on their own connections with their mothers, and many were seen holding back tears as Mr. Sethi read excerpts from the book. Discussions throughout the evening revolved around the irreplaceable role mothers play in shaping society and nurturing generations.

    More Than a Book — A Movement of Gratitude

    The Maa is not just a literary creation—it’s an emotional movement. It calls upon every individual to pause, reflect, and appreciate the mothers in their lives. Whether she’s near or has become a guiding star in the sky, her presence is always felt—just as Mr. Sethi feels the presence of his late mother, Mrs. Karuna Sethi, in every page of his book.

    A Message That Resonates

    In an age where fast-paced lives often lead to overlooked emotions, Maa serves as a gentle reminder to celebrate the silent sacrifices and unbreakable love of mothers. The Book Launch Event was successful to carry forward the message that between the Mother and the generation born to her cannot and should not believe that they are two different entities but one only in one another and emotionally inseparable.

    With its emotional depth and universal theme, Maa is set to strike a chord with readers of all ages. It’s more than a must-read—it’s a must-feel. माँ Mother’s Journey https://amzn.in/d/8v36a8t
