INTACH Tripura condemns for hosting G-20 summit dinner at Durbar Hallat Ujjayanta Place

Guwahati: INTACH Tripura chapter and citizens of the state of Tripura strongly condemned the use of the erstwhile Durbar Hallat Ujjayanta Place state museum for hosting of the recent G-20 summit dinner on April 3.

“Many persons are not aware but an official dinner was hosted at the Ujjayanta Palace Durbar Hall for a few top delegates. As the name indicates, the Durbar Hall was not merely a room but a historical and sacred place, and has been held dearly, is close to the people of the State and been respected for over 122 years, by one and all. It was used for the Coronation/ Installation ceremony of the Rulers of Tripurawhich were religious in nature and for important, official purposes and never entertainment or dining,” stated Pragya Deb Burman, state convenor of INTACH Tripura.

He said, “Even when the Ujjayanta Palace was used as the State Assembly building in the past, prior to becoming the State Museum, it was used for official purposes by the respected speaker. Unfortunately, the identity of the Durbar Hall is being tarnished now by the State Government and this has shocked us. On the one hand, they speak of respecting our centuries old Indian culture, the visionary Maharajas and our rich historic past but on the other hand, discrete parties are held- such hypocrisy must be known and be condemned by the people,”.

“It seems that the dinner was to be hosted in a 5 Star hotel but the authorities suddenly decided that the Durbar Hall should be used for the entertainment of the delegates. I am sharing photographs and am sure the people of the State who have respected this magnificent sanctum in the Palace will agree and voice their displeasure. The horribly placed statue where the throne used to be and gaudy dining arrangement in the Hall is insulting and shows disrespect for our Heritage and customary, religious practices and rites,” Deb Burman stated.

He further added, “I sincerely hope that this sacred space will not be converted in the future into a party or dining room and will be preserved and revered as it used to be in the past,”.

“There were plans by the Museum authorities to recreate the Durbar Hall with a replica of the Throne/ Chaturdala, for the purpose of educating our fellow citizens but with this disrespectful attitude, we fear the worst and ask the State Government of Tripura to honour our historic spaces and give it the dignity it deserves. I am sure there are several hotels and open spaces in Tripura where such events could have taken place but we must not misuse power and change the status and sacredness of certain religious and historic places,” he stated.

Deb Burman further added, “I would like to make an appeal to the Government of Tripura and their Departments to respect the sentiments of the various communities, minorities and religious customs of the people of Tripura before randomly deciding or holding of events in such historic places,”.

Bridging Borders: An NRI Family’s Homecoming with Their Culturally-Inspired Products  

New Delhi (India), April 5: Children in India will soon experience the world’s first-ever mantra-singing Hindu-inspired toy brand, Modi Toys – a perfect blend of entertainment and education — launched by siblings Avani Modi Sarkar and Viral Modi. Applying a modern spin on ancient ethos, Modi Toys wants children to stay connected to their roots through their mantra-singing Hindu soft toys and corresponding books.

Nearly five years after successfully launching in the USA, the founders are now announcing their foray into the Indian market as they introduce Modi Toys to the very country that inspired their entrepreneurial journey. Co-founder of the homebound startup, Avani, says, “Viral and I were born and raised in India and moved to the USA over 30 years ago. But thanks to our parents’ upbringing, we’ve always remained fully immersed in our culture. But when we became parents ourselves, we saw a severe gap in the market for culturally representative toys reflective of our Hindu roots. We wanted to raise our kids with the same sense of connection and appreciation towards their culture, which inspired us to start Modi Toys. We have tens of thousands of customers around the world, but nothing gives us more pride than now seeing families in India embrace our products.”

Avani adds, “Making our products educational and meaningful was just as important as keeping them fun and simple because our toys and books serve as a gateway to sparking children’s curiosity. The more accessible our toys are, the more likely kids are to play with them.”

Modi Toys takes pride in the fact that all of its operations, from ethical production to packaging, are 100% Made In India. The company’s commitment to local production not only supports local artisans but ensures the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

Viral Modi, the co-founder of Modi Toys, said, “In addition to our attention to detail and craftsmanship, Modi Toys has taken steps to adopt more sustainable practices across its operations, including its supply chain, packaging, and waste management. Our toys are made from eco-friendly materials, and we hope to leave this world a better place for children.”

The brand is dedicated to making measurable social change and is launching multiple collections, including plush toy figures of Baby Ganesh, Baby Hanuman, Baby Krishna, Saraswati Devi, Durga Devi, Laxmi Devi, and the Shhhanti Musical Crib Mobile – celebrating and promoting the beauty and depth of Hindu culture and theology.

Autistic students performing at SPJ Sadhana School, Mumbai

Rotarian Jasmine Pandya has been the key member who regularly volunteers at the school which is committed to giving Autistic children a normalized life.

Not so long ago I had hired 3 autistic teenagers as Summer Interns at my Advisory Firm Caerus3 Advisors and Think Tank. It was a great learning experience not only for the teenagers but for my employees as well. It was a first step towards inclusion in a true way”.

A little over a decade ago SRK starrer My Name is Khan first highlighted Autism in mainstream movies and created awareness in society. We need more such adoption of positivity around autism says Prashant only then we can give our autistic friends a inclusive world to live in.

The school works towards creating an inclusive atmosphere for all autistic children, they empower them with skills and abilities to make them economically independent. Dedicated to ensuring that autistic children live meaningful and productive lives, has been volunteering regularly for the past 25 years, says Jasmine Pandya.

As an organization it’s important to create a positive environment, employees should be open to having autistic people working. They should learn to work with them with respect. It’s important that the organization also keeps safe guards, nothing should be done that would hurt or make an autistic person react.

GPP ONE: A villa community near Ahmedabad where sustainability and luxury get along effortlessly  

A Greener Landscape: Nature Living is the Way Ahead

The eco-luxurious initiative by Green Panther Properties promises an authentic farmhouse experience on the bank of the 70-meter-wide Narmada Canal near Ahmedabad.

New Delhi (India), April 5: The idea of putting sustainability and luxury together, even in a sentence, is highly unconventional. That’s because, with the advent of the modern farmhouse age, we have lost touch with the true essence of luxury that’s rooted in nature.

The typical farmhouse experience attaches the sentiment of luxury to over-the-top recreational facilities like Golf courses and Jacuzzis. It fails to capture the gracious riches of nature, waiting to be explored, and the accompanying affluence of sustainability.

But the forward-thinking team at Green Panther Properties is actively challenging the notion of modern luxury with its elegant eco-luxury villa project near Ahmedabad.

Their solution? An authentic farmhouse experience as lavish as it is sustainable. It’s an oasis where one can seek the true essence of luxury in the clean air they breathe, the organic food they grow, and the blissful nature they retreat into.

A Greener Landscape: Nature Living is the Way Ahead

Located on the bank of Narmada Canal in Kadi, GPP ONE is built on the virtuous principles of sustainability and co-existence. At the same time, it also delivers on the luxury aspect of the farmhouse experience and quite graciously at that.

“While the main focus is on promoting and enabling sustainable living, the luxury element adds to the farmhouse experience we’re aiming to cultivate”, explained Mr. Rao.

So, what exactly makes this villa project near Ahmedabad more eco-friendly than its contemporaries? For starters, it is the first project in Gujarat to be 100% powered by solar energy. GPP ONE is estimated to harvest up to 350 KW of solar energy at the project and individual villa levels.

More interestingly, their solution for domestic water supply is just as innovative as it is sustainable. Instead of a water pump assigned to each nature villa, GPP ONE houses one communal borewell that is also powered by solar energy. Further, the availability of a 24-meter-tall water tank inside the project will ensure adequate storage and high-pressure water flow via gravity and not electricity. Put simply, water and electricity are technically free at GPP ONE. The project also has provisions for a dozen percolation wells to help replenish groundwater levels via rainwater harvesting.

“But the goal is more than just the judicious use of natural resources. GPP ONE serves the ultimate purpose of giving nature and its dweller’s equal space to live, breathe, and evolve”, clarified Mr. Rao.

The director has diligently put his words into action as GPP ONE maintains a green-to-grey ratio of 9:1 in its landscape and architecture. In fact, the entire project is engulfed in a wide variety of local flora and water bodies, essentially serving as an ecosystem for various species of fauna to thrive.

One of the more important ways that sustainability is incorporated at this eco-luxury villa project near Ahmedabad is that it allows the residents to grow their own food. With the provision of Poly-net Houses at the villa level, GPP ONE complements the joy of farming with the immunity of naturally grown, organic food.

But how does the luxury quotient factor into all of it?

Bespoke Nature Villas That Extend a Nature Living Experience Unique to Each Resident

GPP ONE enhances the nature living experience with luxury villas that cater to the unique needs of its residents. Each ‘House of Life’, as monikered by its founder, is set on an expansive canvas averaging 2,000 square-yard-plot where residents are given the artistic freedom to design the villa as per their preferences.

“Yes, every eco-resident gets to design their villa as they wish. It can range from a 1 BHK quaint nature house for a solo experience to a 3 BHK nature family home. Also, each bespoke nature villa can be equipped with the facility of opt-in and opt-out amenities”, added Mr. Amit Rao

At the project level, GPP ONE hosts a range of communal amenities. Perhaps the major center of attraction is the Earth Ship, its flagship clubhouse. Additional recreational amenities include indoor games, a yoga deck, a multi-sports court, and more to underscore its authentic farmhouse experience.

A New Benchmark for Sustainability in Residential Real Estate

Indeed, Green Panther Properties is sparing no effort in promoting the ideologies of sustainability and co-existence. And in doing so, they’ve already set lofty benchmarks in residential real estate. GPP ONE is the first-ever villa project in Ahmedabad that 100% relies on the Sun on its energy needs. Their goal of maintaining a green-to-grey ratio of 9:1 also culminates in the entire project being 90% covered in greenery.

Interestingly, the location of GPP ONE is also not a throw of the dice. The project is strategically erected on the banks of the 70-meter-wide Narmada Canal, just 3 minutes out from Kadi Dam. Additionally, the popular Thol Lake and Bird Sanctuary is also located just 15 minutes from the site. But what truly sets it apart is the fact that it is covered by water bodies on 3 sides and dense forests on the fourth end.

Also, GPP ONE is designed in adherence to the PLATINUM RATING by IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) and is currently in the process of seeking official certification.

Green Panther Properties indeed sets an important stage for luxury and sustainability to thrive in the homes of today and tomorrow. Their first eco-luxury endeavor, GPP ONE, might just serve as the pragmatic inspiration for lush life that’s supported by eco-friendly practices.
