Ninth to third, Marquez takes hard-fought final Sprint podium with Repsol Honda Team

Honda

Valencia, 27th November 2023: An emotional Marc Marquez left nothing on track as he returned to the MotoGP Sprint podium for the third time in 2023, a gift to the Repsol Honda Team.

Having shown strong and consistent pace throughout the weekend, Marc Marquez headed into Q2 ready and eager to perform. A final weekend with the Repsol Honda Team spurred the #93 on to take extra risks in order to see out the 11-year relationship in the best way possible. Unfortunately, a mistake into Turn 2 on his final flying lap would end Marquez’s charge towards the front row and see him line up in ninth. With overtaking in Valencia notoriously difficult, the eight-time World Champion was left frustrated.

Launching perfectly as the lights went out, Marquez immediately made-up ground and lined up a big move into Turn 2. He’d keep the pace of leaders as he, Binder and Martin reeled in and passed early leader Maverick Viñales. With a Sprint podium in his sights, Marquez was giving no ground and set the fastest lap of the race on lap four – a 1’29.809. Marquez’s challenge would last until the final laps when catching Martin and Binder finally became impossible, crossing the line in a well-earned third place.

Arriving to the Sprint podium with thousands of fans and the members of his Repsol Honda Team below, Marquez – who has enjoyed 11 seasons with HRC – fought back the emotions to celebrate his third Sprint podium of 2023.

Joan Mir’s weekend was forced into an early finish, the #36 deemed unfit after his fall on Friday. His focus will now be on recovering and preparing for the post-season test on Tuesday.

Sunday is set to be an emotional day for the entire Repsol Honda Team as Marc Marquez prepares to line up on the Honda RC213V for the final time and celebrate a relationship which has brought six MotoGP World Championships and five Triple Crowns. Every lap of the 27-lap race will have all involved giving their maximum to end the season, and an incredible era of MotoGP, in the best way possible.

Marc Marquez (Third)

“You can give all the presents, all the helmets, all the boots you want – but the best present is what you give on the track. That’s what today was about, giving something to the Repsol Honda Team, to HRC, to my people who have been with me across this journey. I increased the risk I was taking a step and even in the race I almost crashed many times, but today I was able to do a good start, a good first lap and make a good race. It’s important to enjoy this special moment with everyone, it was honestly hard to fight the emotions on the podium. All of my team, HRC and the fans there – it was really nice to give everyone this moment. The objective is to continue like this tomorrow, but we need to see the conditions, how we start, many things.”

Rishab, a 12th Grader, develops AI Applications in 9 Indian languages and demonstrates the same to Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Rishab_ develops AI Applications

Hyderabad, November 27, 2023….. In a remarkable display of innovation and social commitment, Rishab, a 12th-grade student at Rockwell International School in Hyderabad, has developed an AI application called ‘Sabka Vikaas.’ The application aims to provide information on over 1200 government schemes in nine vernacular languages, including Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, specifically catering to the underprivileged.

The boy gave a demo of the same to Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship of India during his tour to Sherlingampally Constituency on Sunday. The Minister later tweeted the photo and spoke about his visit to Sherlingmpally constituency and interaction with people there.

The ‘Sabka Vikaas’ app allows users, particularly women, to communicate in their native language, making information about central and state-level schemes more accessible. Users can specify their demographic details, such as being women, children, or specially-abled, and describe their situation. The application then uses this information to find and present relevant government schemes applicable to their needs. Importantly, the app responds in the user’s native language through voice technology, further breaking down barriers.

The honourable minister commended Rishab as a young visionary who has taken the initiative to leverage technology and AI to assist underserved communities. Minister Chandrasekhar spent time discussing the potential of refining the application for large-scale deployment, aligning with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of ‘New India’s Techade.’

The minister emphasized the crucial role of AI, particularly Generative AI, in realizing a seamless interface for 1.3 billion Indians to access government schemes. He highlighted the need for AI to be developed in various Indian languages to ensure widespread accessibility, drawing parallels with the success of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) in the country’s digital transformation.

Minister Chandrasekhar, in a visionary statement, underscored the imperative to develop AI for India using local languages and data. He stressed that solutions for India’s unique challenges must be crafted within the country by young innovators. According to him, this is a pivotal moment for Young India to actively participate in India’s Techade. Looking ahead, he predicted that, similar to the global success of UPI, the world would turn to India for the development of innovative, globally applicable solutions.

The minister expressed immense satisfaction that young innovators like Rishab are not only embracing technology while still in high school but are also developing solutions tailored specifically to India’s needs.

The ‘Sabka Vikaas’ application stands as a testament to the positive impact that young innovators like Rishab can have on society by leveraging technology for social welfare. As the application continues to evolve, it has the potential to play a pivotal role in connecting underprivileged individuals with the government schemes designed to uplift and support them.

Skill training in the formative years of the child can bring tremendous change in the attitude towards mathematics. Mathematics is the key to science, technology, computers and human progress.

I wish I had known this methodology when I was a bureaucrat in charge of managing residential schools earlier in my career. I would have implemented this program and made a huge difference. It is a wonderful experience to see these tiny tots, who are human calculators doing miraculous things

It is our largest ever competition. It is a massive competition. Participation in these kinds of competitions gives children a great experience and confidence. A record number of 4700 are participating, announced Dinesh Victor, Managing Director of SIP Academy.

If anyone tells you, no, you can’t do it, reply, yes, I will and stop if you can, says a 31 years Cerebral Palsy man Sumit Agarwal

Dr Mani Pavitra

Hyderabad, November 27, 2023…..Rejected by 30 schools, Sumit Agarwal teaches the world how to live with Cerebral Palsy, be successful in business and create wealth.

Born with Cerebral Palsy, an Astrologer told his parents that Sumit would not survive beyond 33 years of age. “Now I am 31, but Astrologer is no more, ” he said to a hall full of attendees of the Legacy Building Live program organised on Sunday evening at the Park, Somajiguda by Fortune Academy.

Sumit was in the city at the invitation of Fortune Academy. He was talking to people who gathered to learn how to be financially successful

People told me that I walked differently, talked differently and looked differently. And nobody wanted to be a friend to me. So, I don’t have any friends. Everybody told me that I didn’t belong there. Now I not only survived, did an MBA, topped the country, started my own business and now I give jobs to others.

I have two million LinkedIn Inn followers. I helped 500 people with disabilities get jobs. I am on the board of several Fortune 500 companies as part of their diversity and inclusivity plans, he declared amidst the thunderous applause.

I have had four surgeries and 70% of my movement is restricted. So reduced mobility, muscle spasms and slower speech are some of the inevitable obstacles I still face here.

If anyone says no, you can’t do it, I tell them yes, I can do it. I also reply and tell them to try and stop me if they can.

Right parenting saved my life, he added.

Giving her opening remarks, Dr Mani Pavitra, who runs 9 successful businesses besides being a Dentist, said the goal of Fortune Academy is to create an army of people who are financially successful. She gave attendees her financial prudence. She told her audience to find comfort in discomfort.

Her husband Pradeep Yarlagadda, Investor, Trainer and Co-founder of Fortune Academy gave 5 stages to Fortune. He spoke about how to improve financial well-being. Though most of us are good at jobs but very bad at money management.

The event saw many people sharing their financial success stories. Many were recognised with awards for their remarkable transformation and achievements.

Further, Coca-Cola has also launched its own marketplace, the ‘Coke Shop’ exclusively on the ONDC platform.

SellerApp’s suite of e-commerce solutions will empower such brands to harness the power of data analytics, enhancing their visibility, conversion rates, and overall online performance.”

Pradeep K Sampath, CEO, nStore ReTech Private Limited said, “nStore’s core mission is to fill the gaps in the existing supply chain effectively and create an Online Union Offline world where discovery and order happen in the online medium and fulfilment happens from the existing retail distribution offline. We are happy to collaborate with Moon Beverages Limited; this model of inclusive commerce is sure to redefine the way we have seen e-commerce being played out in the market, catalyzed by ONDC.”

This alliance represents an exciting milestone in Coca-Cola’s commitment to innovation and consumer satisfaction. This exciting new online marketplace will reshape how retailers and consumers interact with Coca-Cola products and enhance their overall shopping experience.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Addresses 40000 Abhyasis At The World’s Largest Meditation Centre Kanha Shanti Vanam

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi

Hyderabad, 27th November 2023: Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi arrived at Kanha Shanti Vanam, the world headquarters of Shri Ram Chandra Mission and Heartfulness, in the outskirts of Hyderabad as part of his visit to the city on Sunday. Hon’ble Prime Minister reached Kanha Shanti Vanam by helicopter Sunday morning. He had a short tour of the facility by Revered Daaji – Spiritual Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission. Shri Nardendra Modi ji also visited the largest meditation hall in the world at Kanha Shanti Vanam which has a capacity of one lakh people meditating at a time. Hon’ble PM was felicitated by Rev. Daaji followed by a welcome address by Rev. Daaji. Hon’ble PM also unveiled the commemorative plaque for 125 years of Babuji celebrations.

Kanha Shanti Vanam

To mark the occasion, Hon’ble Prime Minister planted a Bakul plant, also called Pagoda or Indian Bullet tree. The significance of the tree lies in its medicinal, cultural and astronomical association. More than 40,000 people from across the country and overseas came together and many more joined virtually to meditate together at the largest meditation centre of the world.

In his address, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji said, “My visit here was long overdue, but the time to visit Kanha Shanti Vanam has come only now and see the inspiring work under the vision of Pujya Daaji here. Today Kanha Shanti Vanam is known as the world’s largest meditation centre. One can imagine the kind of positive energy emanating here. Kanha is propagating the wisdom and traditions of our ancient seers and yogis which over 160 countries are adopting as yoga and meditation – it is your great service to humanity. Babuji Maharaj used to say that evolution of consciousness is everyone’s right. His successors Chariji and now Daaji are bringing to transformation to build a strong Bharat.

What Pujya Daaji is doing for humanity today is truly incredible. His immense contributions also got him being honoured by Padma Bhushan. Daaji is one of the greatest souls I have met. On one hand he did a spectacular job in the pharmaceutical industry earlier, on the other he is leading by example in the field of spirituality. I feel very happy to see the heights to which Daaji has taken Kanha today as a great motivator and spiritual guide for entire mankind.

History witnessed attempts to subdue our heritage and culture. But today India has risen again with her inherent strength through meditation, yoga, ayurveda and other sciences. The developed India should reflect our pride in our heritage, our solidarity, our dutifulness and a prosperous nation – wherein Shri Ram Chandra Mission and Heartfulness and its volunteers are contributing immensely.

I believe in the four pillars for a strong India – 1. Nari Shakti 2. Yuva Shakti 3. Shram Shakti and 4. Udyam Shakti. These four pillars will ensure that all the women, youth, employees, enterprises and labour are empowered. There was a time when citizens used to knock at the government’s doors, today we are knocking at your door. We have also come up with a My Bharat mission that will prevent youth in getting into the quagmire of drug or substance abuse. Just as nature gives selflessly, let us work selflessly and build a strong Bharat.”

Rev. Daaji, Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission said, “In Modi ji, we have a global leader and it is with his vision that India is shining. What strikes to me the most is what we must do next – we must bring the inner cleansing to be better human beings. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have laid out many of the goals as imminent. But when you think about deeply the root cause of all of the problems that needs to be addressed urgently is thought pollution. Yoga and meditation will help you clean the thought pollution and hence ‘Har din dhyan, har dil dhyan’ is something I recommend to everyone. Let us be proud of our heritage and be proud of each other.”

For the last 78 years, Shri Ram Chandra Mission has been teaching meditation to the global community free of charge. Heartfulness meditation aims to adopt the ancient Indian traditions of raja yoga and meditation in a modern world, allowing practitioners to experience its benefits and achieve inner harmony and balance while navigating a fast-paced world. The Heartfulness way is unique because it is supported by Pranahuti, or yoga transmission, a divine energy for human transformation which was revived by the early guides of Shri Ram Chandra Mission in the 1800s.

Kanha Shanti Vanam was inaugurated by former President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind in 2020. Since the start of its development in 2015, Kanha Shanti Vanam has grown both in immensity and in impact. What was once a barren land, typical of the Indian Deccan Plateau, Kanha Shanti Vanam is now a thriving green space, with over 10 lacs saplings planted and nurseries at a combined total of 50 lacs of 280 critically endangered species. Kanha serves not only as a meditation centre, with the world’s largest meditation hall, but also as a holistic hub for learning, yoga, meditation, wellness, sustainable living, ecological preservation, and water conservation. It blends modern and traditional approaches to promote a harmonious way of life. In recent years, Kanha Shanti Vanam has attracted big names from the worlds of sports, music, film, academic and entrepreneurship, and counts individuals such as Pullela Gopichand, P.V. Sindhu, Rohit Sharma, Kabir Bedi, and Ricky Kej among others as avid practitioners and supporters.
