The response took everyone by a pleasant surprise as Rajkummar went on to explain, “Alia is immensely talented, and I would love to know the kind of conversations she indulges in with Bhatt Sir, Soni ma’am and Ranbir. Also, the kind of movies that she watches to bring forth all that incredible talent!”

His answer was received with a loud roar of applause from the audience, who hooted and cheered the actor for his big win. Later, the actor also joined Vicky Kaushal on stage along with Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor to shake a leg with Kaushal and set the stage ablaze.

Bengaluru,23rd May 2023 – NeoLacta Lifesciences, India’s only ISO 22000 and GMP-certified Human Milk Facility, successfully concluded its week-long campaign, “SUPERMOMS: Our Breastfeeding Heroes”. This campaign aimed to honor and recognize the selfless contributions of 30 mothers who played a vital role in supporting the health and well-being of premature and sick infants through human milk donation.

Commenced on May 14th on Mother’s Day, the campaign kicked off with an engaging contest and an announcement across NeoLacta’s social media platforms. The primary objective was to acknowledge the remarkable mothers who had generously donated their breast milk, thereby saving the lives of premature babies. Additionally, the campaign also aimed to encourage more mothers to come forward and contribute to this noble cause by donating their excess breast milk.

During the launch of the campaign, Sunil Sreekakula, Country GM of NeoLacta Lifesciences, said:
“The SUPERMOMS campaign will shed light on the extraordinary efforts of donor moms and raise awareness about the importance of human milk donation. We firmly believe that these incredible women deserve recognition for their selfless acts. Further, we aim to expand this campaign to other states, continually recognizing and celebrating donor moms throughout the year.”

The SUPERMOMS campaign extensively used digital media to amplify its message and generate awareness about the life-saving benefits of human milk for premature babies. By sharing the inspiring journeys of donor moms, the campaign aims to motivate and empower more mothers to actively contribute to this noble cause.

Through “SUPERMOMS: Our Breastfeeding Heroes”, NeoLacta Lifesciences, as India’s leading Human Milk Facility, has once again highlighted the significance of human milk donation in providing the essential nourishment and support to premature and sick infants. The company remains committed to advancing the cause of saving babies’ lives and ensuring the well-being of newborns across the nation.

Human milk is the most beneficial source of nutrition for newborns, particularly for preterm infants, who are at higher risk of developing serious health complications. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition, and it provides essential nutrients, enzymes, and antibodies that protect premature babies from various infections. The Save Babies project is a mission to provide breast milk to premature babies who are unable to receive it from their mothers. The project relies entirely on the generosity of women who donate their breast milk which is then pasteurised, tested, and safely stored to ensure that it is free of pathogens which is then processed to cater to the needs of preterm babies in NICUs across India.

Mumbai, 23rd May 2023 To create unique opportunities for early childhood learning among children, EuroKids, India’s Most Trusted Preschool network, has announced hosting unique field trips for over 40,000 students from across 600+ centres across the country during the academic year of April 2022 to March 2023. Among these were several one-of-a-kind outings such as the ‘Mom and Me’ outing to the Bannerghatta National Park in Bengaluru to involve mothers in their children’s learning journey, field trip to the Indian Coast Guard Enclave in Angamaly, Kerala, trips to zoos, museums and fire stations, etc.

EuroKids has always been at the forefront of defining early childhood education in India and providing innovative learning experiences to children through practical exposure. As part of its philosophy, EuroKids believes that early childhood education plays a crucial role in equipping young children with new skills. Therefore, the preschool network has meticulously curated its outings to inculcate students with first-hand learning of various concepts taught in class, such as colours, animals, plants, monuments, professions, etc.

With research pointing to a significant development in a child’s brain within the first five years, EuroKids’ preschool programmes and curriculum focus on inculcating life skills, social engagements and enhancing creativity among children. With its ‘Child First’ ideology, EuroKids provides a structured EUNOIA curriculum, allowing a holistic development of a Child’s Mind, Body, and Soul. In line with this, EuroKids also curates its field trips to help children exercise mindful practices such as attention, resilience and kindness to form a solid learning base in the early years.

The ‘Mom and Me’ field trip, undertaken by EuroKids centres in Vidyaranyapura and Yelahanka New Town in Bengaluru, gave a unique opportunity for toddlers to spend time outdoors at the city’s Bannerghatta National Park and Butterfly Park. The activity helped enhance the mother-child bonding while allowing children to learn and explore. For parents, the day out helped be a part of their children’s learning journey by watching them learn. The outing to the zoo and the Butterfly Park enabled the 45 children to learn about different species of animals and various kinds of butterflies – their natural habitats, the need for wildlife conservation, etc. The toddlers were seen as curious about the animals they came across and learning about the wildlife. Similarly, toddlers at EuroKids Angamaly in Kerala visited the Indian Coast Guard Enclave to watch and learn more about helicopters in person.

Commenting on the initiative by the preschool network, KVS Seshasai, CEO of the Pre-K Division, Lighthouse Learning, said, “We at EuroKids are driven to constantly strive to provide holistic learning opportunities and create meaningful experiences for young children. As part of our philosophy, early years learning is crucial for a child’s development. Real-life exposure and learning opportunities are crucial to imbibe 21st-century skills in today’s children. The various field trips curated by EuroKids centres across the country are our steps towards aiding in the overall development of children. We are glad to see such enthusiastic participation from children and parents in these activities. We look forward to introducing many more innovative activities for children during the ensuing academic year.”

Currently, EuroKids centres across the country are hosting summer camps for children, where they can experience the EuroKids curriculum, acquire new habits, build social skills and form a daily routine during the holidays through fun-filled activities that can instil creativity, confidence and bravery.
