With this new status, TCG CREST is establishing a research university that emphasizes multi-disciplinary, fundamental and translational research. This initiative aims to leverage India’s talent pool, fostering capabilities and capacities that align with the national interest and contribute to the creation of new-age jobs in key sectors of the economy, including sustainable healthcare, climate change and energy, data-driven intelligence, food and agriculture, quantum technologies, and in emerging fields in the arts and humanities, including in economics.

Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Purnendu Chatterjee, Founding Chairman of TCG CREST, stated, “Scientific and technological advancement is essential for improving the human condition worldwide and for strengthening India’s national security, driving economic growth, and alleviating poverty. With this recognition, the Government of India has entrusted us with both a significant challenge and a profound opportunity to contribute to nation-building. At CREST, we are committed to pursuing this mission with dedication and integrity.”

TCG CREST distinguishes itself within the Indian academic and research landscape through its innovative “reverse trajectory” model. This unique approach establishes research centers as its foundation, subsequently introducing Ph.D., masters, and undergraduate programs. By prioritizing research from its inception, it cultivates a deeply immersive research environment that permeates all levels of study.

Admissions for the Ph.D. program will commence in August 2025, followed by the masters programs in August 2026.

The TCG CREST (Deemed to be University) will comprise five schools, including the School of Natural Sciences; School of Mathematical and Computer Science; School of Health, Environment & Sustainability Studies; School of Humanities & Social Sciences; and School of Economics. Located in Kolkata, which has emerged as the hub of scientific research in India according to the recent Nature Index, the institution’s unique research-based approach to higher educational pedagogy, coupled with close collaboration between the TCG CREST Research Centres, is expected to attract the highest quality of faculty and students from India and abroad.

By Chhavi Sharma, founder of VastuChhavi

Abundance—in wealth, health, or happiness—is truly a beautiful thing. It’s something we all strive for to feel fulfilled, successful, and at peace. Yet, in our pursuit of it, we often look outward—chasing goals, boosting profits, or competing in an ever-demanding world. What we tend to overlook is that the journey toward abundance begins and ends right at home or in our workplaces. These personal spaces hold the true potential for prosperity, and it’s through the principles of Vastu Shastra that we can unlock and amplify this energy.

Here are a few tips shared by Vedic, Vastu Expert Chhavi Sharma founder of VastuChhavi, a venture that offers Vedic Vastu tips to people across the globe.

Identify the wealth corner

For those unfamiliar with Vedic Vastu, certain areas within your home or office—often referred to as ‘wealth corners’—are believed to influence financial prosperity. These zones have the potential to attract wealth, maintain its flow, and keep the energy surrounding it vibrant and active. If you’re unsure about where these spaces lie or how to activate them, it’s advisable to consult a Vastu expert who can guide you with a comprehensive and personalized approach.

As per Vastu Shastra, the north or northeast direction in home/office/shops is associated with prosperity and financial well-being. This direction is ruled by the planet Mercury and is considered a zone of new opportunities. It is this space that requires special attention

A Vastu consultant with their expertise identifies these corners and provides deeper insight on how best this space can be activated and positively energised. Rooted in ancient energy sciences like Vastu Shastra, the wealth corner is believed to influence not just your finances but your overall relationship with abundance.

Understand what is blocking the flow of abundance

Once you have identified the wealth corner of the property, the next step is to see if this area is in line with Vedic Vastu principles. To do so following questions:

• Do you see unused items, clutter, dust or broken items in the north or northeast direction?
• Is the space damp, not properly lit, dark or looks shabby?
• Have you made a store room there or is there a neglected space in the house/office?
• Are there conflicting symbols like sharp edges, metal in excess, or negative imagery?

If the answer to the above question is yes then it is time to connect with Vastu experts to improve the energies of this space. They offer expert guidance that can help in converting the wealth corner to the owner’s advantage.

Some corrective measure that can be taken

Once you have identified the problem it is best to get the wealth corner clutter-free and cleansed. Wait for the Vastu consultant to guide the next step. Don’t be in a hurry to apply do-it-yourself tips as they might not work in your favour. Best to wait for direction from best Vastu experts and apply them to get best results.

Customised Vastu Kits

There are several ways a top Vastu expert helps people energise the wealth corner. One of them is creating customized Vastu kits that have various elements that can be placed in the house/office/shops to get desired results. These kits are energised via sacred rituals to increase positive vibration of the space. When the elements from this kit are placed in the appropriate direction, the owner is likely to get a good outcome – leading to better family life, success in job/business and leading a healthy as well as happy life.

28th May 2025, National: In a landmark move, Pratilipi, India’s largest digital storytelling platform, has partnered with the acclaimed production house Roy Kapur Films (RKF), to co-develop and produce a slate of films and series that leverage Pratilipi’s expansive story universe with RKF’s cinematic vision to bring authentic Indian narratives to life on screens in India and around the world.

With over 30 million monthly active users, 1.6 million writers, and a catalogue of millions of stories across 12 Indian languages, Pratilipi has grown exponentially in recent years, transforming from a grassroots storytelling community into a full-fledged content powerhouse. This vast, language-diverse ecosystem makes it a fertile ground for discovering new voices and untapped narratives.

Roy Kapur Films, with its strong production expertise, deep industry relationships, and a track record of producing emotionally resonant, high-quality content, brings its robust creative and execution capabilities to the table. This partnership between these two creative powerhouses marks a significant step forward in both companies’ missions to amplify Indian voices and reimagine storytelling for the screen.

As part of this strategic alliance, Pratilipi and RKF will jointly identify stories from Pratilipi’s platform, co-invest in their development, and collaboratively pitch and produce them for leading studios and streaming platforms. The goal is to co-produce at least six projects—across films and series—over the next three years.

The first project to launch under this exciting partnership is Charitraheen, a powerful courtroom drama that’s already made waves on the Pratilipi app. The story has racked up over 21 million reads, with users leaving more than 244,000 reviews and giving it an impressive 4.88/5 rating. Now, this explosive tale is all set to make the leap from page to screen.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, Founder and Managing Director of RKF, said, “At Roy Kapur Films, we’re always on the lookout for compelling narratives that reflect the many realities and aspirations of India. Pratilipi’s dynamic ecosystem of storytellers presents an incredible opportunity to unearth and shape these voices into stories that entertain and move audiences across the world. We’re excited to bring our creative and production capabilities to this partnership and can’t wait to see these stories come alive on screen.”

Ranjeet Pratap Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Pratilipi, added, “At Pratilipi, we’ve always believed that powerful stories can come from anywhere — a small town, a bustling city, from creators both seasoned and new. Our goal has always been to give these stories a stage. This partnership with Roy Kapur Films takes that vision one step further — to the screen. With RKF’s storytelling sensibility and production strength, we’re not just adapting stories; we’re elevating them for a larger audience. Charitraheen is just the beginning of what we believe will be a new era in Indian storytelling.”

This collaboration between Pratilipi and Roy Kapur Films represents a unique model — one where grassroots narratives meet cinematic scale, unlocking powerful, untold voices and setting the stage for stories that resonate with India’s diverse and discerning audiences across theatrical and digital platforms.
