Mumbai; December: As the sun prepares to dip beyond the Arabian Sea on the cool winter evening of December 23, 2023, the open-air venues of NCPA will come alive with the resonating folk tunes of Rajasthan and the buzzing laughter of dads and children.

Grooming Babies, a dedicated social enterprise championing involved parenting, is set to host its much-anticipated annual Dad-Child Festival, ‘UNDER THE PEEPAL TREE,’ in collaboration with NCPA. Now in its 8th season, this distinctive event is carefully crafted for children aged 4 to 10 years and their fathers, creating a special space for shared experiences. Set against the backdrop of the Sunken and Experimental Garden at NCPA, the festivities will unfold between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, promising an enchanting open-air extravaganza meticulously designed to be both immersive and unforgettable.

Each year, the festival unveils the vibrant cultural traditions of different Indian states. This year, the princely state of Rajasthan takes centre stage, inviting fathers and children to immerse themselves in the creation of Rajasthani handicrafts and celebrating the rich artistry of the region. From the lively Opening Ceremony to royal Hobby Horsing and mystical storytelling of Kaavad Katha, the festival seamlessly blends tradition and creativity. Ragamala combines art and melody, and Kacchhi Ghodi Dancers inject vibrant energy. Culminating in a traditional Rajasthani dance, the Closing Ceremony leaves an indelible mark, ensuring the festival’s essence lingers in attendees’ hearts.

Bruce Guthrie, the Head of Theatre & Film at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai, expressed that, “The festival not only aligns seamlessly with our commitment to diverse and enriching family experiences but also brings live folk art and culture to children in a modernized and contemporary way. Cultural exploration is a core belief at NCPA, and now, through this festival, children can be exposed to these rich traditions in a manner that resonates with them.”

Tickets for the festival are priced at Rs. 1200 per child, and one parent gets to accompany them. The registration provides access to all engagements, games, and performances at the festival. Additional children will also receive an activity kit, comprising all art and craft materials needed for the festival workshops.

Speaking on the occasion, Oindrila Purohit, Founding-Director of Grooming Babies, shares, “Celebrating 8 years, the festival has nurtured 4000 heartfelt connections between dads and kids, forging enduring memories and bonds. These memories will be shared, leading to a lifetime of joy.”

Notably, the festival embraces diverse family structures, encouraging fathers or father figures, and in their absence, grandparents, uncles, or even moms, to share in the joys of the event, fostering a sense of inclusivity and bonding.

In its thriving second year with NCPA, the festival, which drew over 500 families last time, symbolizes a contemporary shift. With 80% now being hands-on fathers, this reflects evolving sociocultural dynamics and underscores the festival’s crucial role in supporting holistic father-child relationships.

THE AGENDA FOR TIGER CONSERVATION IS URGENT. “TIGER BONDS” IS THE WAY FORWARD, says Mr. Praveen Garg, President of Mobius Foundation and Former Special Secretary of MOEF&CC

August 8, 2023

Project Tiger, initiated in 1973, has been instrumental in safeguarding the endangered tiger population in India. The project, launched by the Government of India in collaboration with various stakeholders, has made significant strides in tiger conservation over the years. However, the challenges faced by tiger populations continue to persist, necessitating the urgent need for additional funding and innovative approaches to ensure their survival.

Tigers play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. Their presence in the wild indicates the health and robustness of our ecosystems. Unfortunately, tiger populations face numerous threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflicts. To address these challenges effectively, it is imperative to secure sustainable and adequate funding for tiger conservation initiatives.

To this end, the Mobius Foundation had organised a panel discussion “Tiger Talk: A Roaring Dialogue on Tiger Conservation” 04^th August, Friday, 6:00 PM -8:00 PM: Bikaner House, New Delhi, to delve into innovative ideas for financing tiger conservation and emphasize the critical need for such solutions. Esteemed experts from various fields, including conservationists, financial experts, and policymakers gathered to exchange insights, share success stories, and brainstormed creative financing mechanisms to support tiger conservation efforts. Mr. Pradip Burman, Chairman of the Mobius Foundation, delivered the introductory remarks to the distinguished guests and spoke of the importance of viewing tiger landscapes as an incredible array of biodiversity.

Chief Guest at the event was Shri. M K Ranjitsinh, IAS (Retd) Former Addl. Secretary MoEF&CC, Author, Conservationist, Prime Architect of the Wildlife (Protection) Act. He said “If given the chance, animals have the incredible ability to make a comeback. Providing them with a suitable environment is crucial to their survival and prosperity.”

“To preserve the tiger population, we must take action. Poaching poses the biggest threat to these majestic animals as their skin and body parts are in high demand on the global market. The second threat is the loss of their natural habitat due to urban development and lifestyle changes.” – Dr. S.P Yadav, ADG Forest (Project Tiger) & Member Secretary (National Tiger Conservation Authority), MoEF&CC

Dr. Sejal Worah, Program Director, WWF India emphasized, “In order for the conversation with tigers to continue and infrastructure development to occur simultaneously, we need to seek for strategies to address the conflict between humans and tigers in the future. The only answer is the intelligent infrastructure that supports ecosystem balance.”

Shri. Praveen Garg, President of Mobius Foundation and Former Special Secretary in MOEF&CC, advocated for and developed the concept of “TIGER BONDS,” or the use of bond markets to supplement fund flows to protected areas. The so-called ‘Tiger Bonds’ can be used to raise conservation funds, which can be obtained through government-issued green bonds or private sector participation, and then handed to India’s national parks, supporting the state in animal protection.

The event acted as a forum for collaboration and the exploration of potential collaborations among conservation organisations, financial institutions, and governmental entities. Mobius Foundation intended to build synergy and establish real methods to successfully mobilise funding for tiger conservation by bringing together diverse stakeholders.

Ms. Jessica Gill, Sr. Research Associate, Mobius Foundation, concluded the presentation with a ‘Vote of Thanks’ and emphasised the importance of improved transboundary collaboration for tiger conservation as well as stiffer penalties for poaching and illicit wildlife trade.
