Ambuja Cements empowers Pazina village farmers through net fencing initiative and grassroots leadership

Himachal Pradesh, 2 June 2025: Ambuja Cements, the cement and building materials company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, is strengthening rural resilience by supporting grassroots agricultural innovation in Pazina village near Darlaghat. Ambuja Cements support as part of its CSR has empowered local agriculture volunteers like Meena to drive a remarkable shift toward modern, diversified farming. Her work across Upper Pazina, Lower Pazina, and Neori villages has introduced sustainable practices and renewed interest in farming as a viable livelihood.

One of the most impactful initiatives took shape in FY 2024–25, when net fencing was introduced to protect crops from being damaged by wild animals. With guidance from Ambuja Cements and Meena’s on-ground leadership, the demonstration’s success inspired over 50 farmers to procure fencing via the local Farmer Producer Organiation (FPO), generating Rs. 23,000 in business and improving farm productivity. This effort not only protected crops but also bolstered the FPO’s operations and encouraged a collective farming approach.

Ambuja Cements’ continued investment in grassroots changemakers and practical farm solutions are highlighted through this transformation story. By facilitating access to tools, knowledge, and community platforms, Ambuja Cements is nurturing self-reliance among Himachal’s rural farmers—helping them sow the seeds for long-term prosperity and shared growth.

KAFF’s Clifton CLOV6 GR: Where Timeless Charm Meets Everyday Functionality

A kitchen appliance that doesn’t shout for attention, but instead becomes an extension of your lifestyle is often rare but then once in a while we come across products that do justice to that notion. The Clifton CLOV6 GR, part of KAFF’s retro-inspired series clifton, is exactly that. With its gentle, grey finish and beautifully detailed bronze accents, this built-in oven brings back the warmth of old-world design, without stepping away from the convenience of today’s technology.

Every inch of the CLOV6 GR has been crafted with purpose. The 60-litre cavity gives you the space to do more no matter if you’re baking fresh bread for a Sunday brunch or preparing a slow roast for family dinner. The size feels right for Indian households, balancing daily needs with the occasional festive flair. But design alone isn’t what makes this oven memorable. Functionality is built deep into its bones. This is a multi-function oven, supported by true convection which means no more worrying about uneven cooking or rotating trays halfway through a bake. The airflow is consistent, making sure everything from a lasagna to a batch of cookies comes out with even texture, proper colour, and that perfectly cooked centre.

The thing that adds character to this oven is the retro analog dial and clock. It doesn’t feel like technology is trying too hard. It feels like you’re in control. There’s something reassuring about turning a dial and knowing what to expect: no guesswork, no cluttered touch panels. Just smooth, mechanical control that’s built to last. And then there are the details that make living with this oven easy. The three-layered glass door gives you peace of mind especially when kids are around or when you’re multitasking in a busy kitchen. The insulation is solid, keeping the heat where it should be. The bronze-finish handle and knobs don’t only look good: they feel good. There’s a sturdiness to them, the kind you only get from quality materials.

One more thoughtful touch? The delay cooking function. You can prep your dish early and have the oven start exactly when you want it to. It’s a small detail, but on a busy day, it goes a long way. This isn’t an oven you buy in a hurry. It’s one you choose when you want something that blends beautifully into your home and works silently, reliably in the background – day after day. The Clifton CLOV6 GR feels less like a machine and more like a companion in your kitchen journey. The kind you grow to appreciate every time you cook.

From Reactive to Proactive: Apollo Perfects Healthcare for Tomorrow

2nd July 2025: On the occasion of National Doctors’ Day, Apollo Hospitals Chairman Dr. Prathap C. Reddy announced a renewed and historic commitment to reshape India’s health future—by doubling down on prevention-first care to combat the nation’s growing Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) crisis. Building on over four decades of clinical leadership, this strategic step reinforces Apollo’s pioneering focus on AI-powered, tech-enabled preventive health—transforming how India detects, predicts, and ultimately prevents disease.

Building on four decades of clinical leadership, this strategic step deepens Apollo’s pioneering focus on prevention, using cutting-edge technology and AI-powered intelligence to tackle the NCD crisis.

The announcement reflects a mission that began as early as 1974, when Dr. Reddy introduced India’s first structured health check. Since then, Apollo has built a globally benchmarked ecosystem—what he calls the “science of preventive health”—that has touched more than 29 million lives worldwide.

Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, Founder and Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group, stated:
“As a doctor, I have witnessed firsthand the staggering toll that non-communicable diseases are taking on our nation — not just on health, but across our economy, our families, and our future. We are facing a silent tsunami, and the only way to fight it is by acting early. Today, with the power of artificial intelligence and evidence-based preventive programs, we have the unprecedented ability to detect risk before disease manifests — to arrest its progress, and in many cases, reverse it altogether. Prevention must become the foundation of our national health strategy.”

Fighting the NCD Tsunami: A National Mission

India faces an unprecedented health crisis—non-communicable diseases now claim 63% of all deaths, what makes this silent epidemic even more urgent is its growing toll on younger lives, cutting potential short far too soon.

The power of early detection and intervention has been scientifically validated: cardiovascular events can be prevented in 80% of cases, diabetes complications reduced by 70%, and cancer mortality decreased by 50% through systematic screening and lifestyle modification programs.

Apollo’s preventive healthcare model, which at its core houses innovations like AICVD, an AI model for early cardiovascular risk prediction; structured screening protocols for cancer, stroke, lung, and metabolic conditions which help predict NCD’s at an early stage reducing the burden on the nation. With facilities like home diagnostics, real-time digital reports; and mobile medical units reaching underserved communities Apollo’s preventive care model is designed to serve everyone, everywhere.

Apollo’s comprehensive preventive framework not only supports the Government of India’s public health priorities but also aligns with the WHO’s Sustainable Development Goals — shifting healthcare from episodic treatment to continuous wellness and placing the power of prevention in the hands of every citizen.

At the heart of this vision lies Apollo ZEN — the gold standard in preventive health. Designed as the most personalised, scientifically backed health check program in the country, ZEN integrates state-of-the-art diagnostics, AI-driven clinical insights, expert guidance from super-specialists and consistent follow-up by lifestyle medicine expert into a seamless, unified experience. It’s much more than just a health check, ZEN is a blueprint for healthy longevity.

A Message to Every Indian: A New Beginning

“To every Indian, my message this Doctors’ Day is simple yet urgent — let this be the moment we shift our mindset as a nation. Let us choose foresight over fear, action over anxiety, and wellness over wait-and-watch. The future of our health lies not in reacting to illness, but in being proactive and preventing it before it begins. We have spent four decades perfecting the science of prevention. Today, we commit ourselves to a greater purpose — to ensure that every Indian, in every corner of the country, benefits from this mastery. Your health is your greatest asset — and with Apollo’s perfected preventive care, that asset is not only protected, but optimised and continuously strengthened for the life you deserve”, stated Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group.
