New Delhi, September 29, 2023: Hospitals and Institute of Integrated Medical Sciences (HIIMS) held a highly anticipated press conference at the LTG Auditorium in New Delhi on Thursday. The event marked the launch of book titled “When Cure is Crime,” authored by the renowned expert in integrated medical sciences, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury.

The conference was honored by the presence of Shri Ashwini Upadhyay, Advocate, Supreme Court of India – ‘PIL Man of India,’ who shared his profound insights on the convergence of law and healthcare. Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, a prominent figure in the realm of integrated medicine, shared with audience the remarkable case studies that showcased patients who have achieved freedom from Dialysis (CKD), Insulin (Diabetes Type 1), and Blood Transfusion (Thalassemia) through innovative and unconventional medical approaches. The event served as a platform for attendees to gain profound insights into revolutionary medical breakthroughs that challenge conventional healthcare norms.

The highlight of the event was the unveiling of Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury’s latest book, “When Cure is Crime.” This book promises to reshape our understanding of healthcare by shedding light on unconventional treatments that have successfully transformed the lives of patients. Dr. Chowdhury’s book offers a fresh perspective on the possibilities of medical science, challenging the status quo and inspiring a new wave of thought in the healthcare community.

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury said, “Even though we got our freedom in 1947, we’re still too dependent on foreign medicines today. Medicines have become a big part of our lives, but it’s important to know that the laws about medicines, called the Drugs and Medicine Act, were made by the British a long time ago. Now, these laws are stopping us from using our own ancient Indian health methods, which can often work better than modern medicines. In my new book, I want to share this knowledge with all my patients who’ve gotten better using GRAD (Gravitational Resistance and Diet). In the book, you’ll find QR codes that you can scan to see detailed medical reports, proving that these methods really work. GRAD, which includes things like hot water treatments, has helped cure problems like chronic kidney disease and both types of diabetes. In the book, my patients, both young and old, share their stories of getting better, showing that true health freedom is possible.”

Acharya Manish Ji, founder of HIIMS, gathered attention over the importance of embracing traditional methods for treating various types of diabetes, citing a report that highlights the potential of such approaches. He also underscored the need for a transformative change in the education system, advocating for the compulsory inclusion of Ayurvedic studies in every school curriculum across India. He urged students to learn about Ayurveda, and he called upon the government to take action in making this vital knowledge accessible to all.

Shri Ashwini Upadhyay, Advocate, Supreme Court of India – ‘PIL Man of India,‘ echoed these sentiments, adding, “The existing Drugs and Magic Remedies Act of 1954 needs a thorough reevaluation. If the government doesn’t take the necessary steps, I am prepared to challenge it in court. Our healthcare system should embrace our traditional methods and provide them the recognition they deserve.”

He further emphasized, “Modern medicine, while effective in many ways, can sometimes be a destructive system. Naturopathy, with its focus on natural remedies and holistic approaches, should be promoted as the primary health treatment system.”

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury made a compelling presentation, sharing his extensive research and the success stories of his patients who have experienced remarkable recoveries through unconventional medical methods. Attendees were provided with a unique opportunity to engage directly with the author during interviews and Q&A sessions, gaining a deeper understanding of his groundbreaking research and the transformative potential of integrated medicine.

Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar), September 29, 2023: Hyderabad-based engineering firm Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has clinched a significant deal in Mongolia. The company received a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for constructing a state-of-the-art crude oil refinery plant valued at USD 648 million from Mongol Refinery State Owned LLC.

Today, MEIL hydrocarbons president Mr. P. Rajesh Reddy and Dr. Altantsetseg Dashdavaa, executive director representing the Mongol Refinery State Owned LLC, inked the new project in a contract signing ceremony at Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. MEIL Managing Director Mr. P.V. Krishna Reddy, top officials, dignitaries, and representatives from both countries attended the event.

Speaking at the signing event, MEIL Managing Director Mr.P.V. Krishna Reddy said, “For MEIL, which holds a prominent position in the global hydrocarbon sector, with a presence across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations and a track record of delivering onshore and offshore projects worldwide, the new venture marks the company’s third foray into the region.”

MEIL’s inaugural venture in Mongolia involves the construction of the country’s first greenfield Mongol Oil Refinery project, a significant undertaking. Within this refinery, MEIL is overseeing the construction of EPC-2, which encompasses Open Art Units, Utilities, Offsites, and plant buildings valued at USD 598.90 million.

Mumbai, 29th September 2023: The/Nudge Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating poverty in India, joined hands with DailyRounds, India’s largest academic network of doctors, for their ‘End Ultra Poverty Program’. Through this program, they aim to empower women from ultra-poor families by building sustainable local livelihoods to help them break the ultra-poverty cycle. With this partnership, they aim to create a sustainable livelihood for 400 women from rural communities in the Latehar and Lohardaga districts of Jharkhand, over the next three years.

By targeting marginalized women and families in Jharkhand’s rural and underserved regions, the collaboration represents a significant step forward in addressing the pressing issue of ultra-poverty. The houses are shortlisted on different criteria, post which they are provided with grants and asset transfers. Goatery and Piggery has been the chosen livelihood activity for women in the selected households based on the market opportunity. The women will also be trained in practical implementations of livelihood activities, income savings, and village marketplaces.

While commenting on this initiative, Mr. Vineet Bagri, the CEO of DailyRounds said, “Since our beginning, with our efforts at DailyRounds & Marrow, we’ve been creating a positive impact on the healthcare sector of India. However, the satisfaction of being on the ground, directly involved, and effecting change in 400 households, thus positively influencing over 1000 lives, is truly remarkable. Our commitment to creating a positive influence on those around us has always been at the core of our brand’s efforts. We take pride in the fact that our partnership with The/Nudge allows us to uphold this principle and continue making a difference”.

The End Ultra Poverty Program, based on the graduation model pioneered by BRAC, is one of the very few evidence-based programs that have been proven to reach – and empower – those living in ultra-poverty over a sustained period. Since the inception of the ‘ultra poor programme,’ The/Nudge has managed to handhold and train over 7,500 women across India, aiding them in overcoming ultra-poverty.

“Jharkhand is India’s second poorest state, where a significant number of households struggle to eat two square meals a day. The lack of land, water resources and livestock compounds the problem. We thank DailyRounds for recognizing this critical need to serve the poorest of the poor, and partnering with The/Nudge Institute (Centre for Rural Development) to enable 400 women-led households in building livelihoods,” said AtulSatija, Founder and CEO of The/Nudge Institute.

DailyRounds has dedicated nearly 6 crore to impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives this year. Notably, the company has allocated over 60% of its CSR funds from the previous year to support this initiative by Nudge for a 3-year period. The program’s progress and outcomes will be regularly monitored and evaluated to ensure desired impact. The company also has other CSR efforts in the pipeline, in the areas of education and healthcare research.

The ability to negotiate the best rate for a hotel room can both save you money and improve your trip experience. Whether you’re organizing a business trip or a leisurely vacation, using smart bargaining strategies can have a big impact on your travel budget. In this article, we’ll go through a variety of tactics and approaches for haggling hotel rates so you may get the best deal possible.

1. Investigation and Planning

It’s important to investigate the hotel and learn about their rates before you start negotiating. Utilize social media, internet booking services, and travel websites to learn about the normal pricing range for the hotel during the chosen dates. You will have a starting point for negotiation if you are aware of the average prices.

2. Timing Is Critical

Timing is crucial when negotiating hotel rates. Try to make your reservations during off-peak times at the hotel since this will give you much more negotiating power. When hotels have empty rooms, especially during the week or outside of the busiest travel times, they are more inclined to offer special deals and incentives.

3. Make use of loyalty initiatives

Make sure to bring up your participation in the hotel’s loyalty program or frequent guest status while negotiating the price. Exclusive discounts, accommodation upgrades, and other benefits that can improve your stay are frequently given to loyal customers.

4. Be Courteous and Polite

Keeping a kind and respectful attitude is crucial when negotiating. Keep in mind that if you are nice to deal with, hotel staff are more likely to meet your wishes. Developing a good relationship can result in greater offers and upgrades.

5. Adjustable Dates

If you can be flexible with your travel dates, you may be able to negotiate a better price. If your schedule permits, ask about potential alternate dates when hotel prices can be less expensive. If you’re ready to shorten your stay by one or two days, you could save a lot of money.

BIDINN’s founder, Ms. Rupsi Singh, claims
Research, timeliness, and interpersonal abilities are all necessary when haggling over hotel room rates. You may improve your chances of getting the best deal on your hotel stay by utilizing these techniques and tactics. Recall that hotels frequently agree to reasonable demands, so being a shrewd negotiator can result in a more pleasurable and cost-effective travel experience. Travel safely!

Sports fosters discipline, teamwork, and resilience in children, moulding them into well-rounded individuals ready to face life’s challenges. For adults, it is the key to longevity, vitality, and mental well-being. Investing in sports initiatives inspires a culture of fitness, inclusivity, and aspiration. Through this commitment, we can build healthier bodies and stronger communities, where physical vitality is cherished as a cornerstone of a fulfilling life.”

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Desh Gaurav Sekhri, Co-founder SSA, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Ajit Issac to SSA’s Founder’s Circle of grantors. We are proud to have him as an anchor donor, and through his contribution, we aim to deliver the social and economic value of sport and physical activity to every Indian. Sports and physical activity should be treated as a preventive health measure that has the power to create a social impact and should be considered a national priority. Through such donations, we have catalyzed positive change, breaking down barriers to access and enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals.”

The event was organized as a part of the Mission 100 initiative by SSA. Mission 100 aims to achieve universal physical activity in India by 2047, the centenary of India’s independence. It seeks to create a paradigm shift where physical activity becomes a form of self-care, fostering good health and effective leadership. The primary beneficiary of the INR 3.5 Cr would be the general public involved, specifically those interested in physical activity.

Karnataka| 29th September 2023 The equity mutual funds have witnessed a net inflow of Rs.20,245.26 crore in August 2023, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data. The same AMFI data suggests within the equity mutual fund category, the small-cap category saw inflows of Rs 4,264.82 crore while sectoral/thematic funds saw inflows of Rs 4,805.81 crore, and the multi-cap category witnessed Rs 3,422.14 crore inflows. Overall, the mutual fund industry in India reported total assets under management (AUM) of Rs 46.63 lakh crore i.e. including the close-ended schemes as per the August AMFI data.

As the size of mutual funds (MF) assets grows in India, we find a pattern where a few states continue to prefer equity MF schemes over non-equity schemes. Investors in Karnataka for example have shown an inclination for equity mutual funds over non-equity. As of August 2023, 54% of the investments from the state of Karnataka are parked in equity schemes while 38% is parked in debt & liquid schemes and 5% in balanced funds. Investors in Karnataka have parked almost Rs. 3,21,540.16 crore in mutual funds.

For Tata Mutual Fund, 49% of AUM comes from equity schemes, 38% from debt & liquid schemes and 14% from balanced schemes in Karnataka according to August AMFI data.

Within the equity category, there is inclination amongst the investors towards thematic funds such as Tata Housing Opportunities Fund which is an open-ended equity scheme following housing theme. It may be noted here that the Tata Housing Opportunities Fund falls under very high-risk category.

According to Tejas Gutka, Fund Manager, Tata Asset Management, “At Tata Asset Management, our focus is on the investment process and disciplined approach to investing. We adopt the Growth at Reasonable Price (GARP) approach to investing across our MF schemes including Tata Housing Opportunities Fund. The GARP approach allows us to bet on high quality shares and at the same time ensures that the quality shares are bought at reasonable price. We believe there are multiple opportunities at this point of time in the broad markets which can see strong growth as well as re-rating and we are trying to capture them in our Tata Housing Opportunities Fund. As the demand for housing increases, so does the demand for products that go into building a house.

For Tata Housing Opportunities Fund the aim is to build a portfolio by identifying entities within the list of basic industries (as per AMFI classification from time to time) under Housing theme that may have potential for meaningful growth, and which may have a sustainable competitive advantage.”
