श्री राजीव बब्बर जी ने कहा कि स्वामी अमित देव जी योग का प्रचार प्रसार देश-विदेश में कर रहे हैं। और यह आश्वासन दिया कि मैं और मेरा पूरा परिवार तन-मन-धन से गुरु जी की सेवा में तत्पर हैं। और स्वामी अमित देव जी के कार्यों को सराहा और कहा कि हम हमेशा आपके साथ हैं। 135 वर्षों से यह संस्था मानव मात्र के कल्याणार्थ योग के कार्यरत है। जो कि योग योगेश्वर महाप्रभु रामलाल जी भगवान, योग योगेश्वर मुलखराज जी भगवान, योग योगेश्वर देवीदयाल जी महादेव, योग योगेश्वर सुरेन्द्र देव जी महाराज के पद्चिन्हों पर चल रहे है। योग गुरु स्वामी अमित देव जी ने विस्तार से बताया कि योग करना क्यों जरूरी है? जैसे घर की सफाई करना जरूरी है वैसे ही अपने शरीर की सफाई करना भी बहुत जरूरी है। जिससे आप बीमारियों से मुक्त रहे और स्वस्थ जीवन व्यतीत करें। किसी योग व आसन को देख व पढ़कर न करें। ऐसे में उस योग व आसन का फायदा न मिलकर हानि हो सकती है। इसलिए किसी योग व आसन को किसी गुरु के सान्निध्य में करना चाहिए।

Managing Committee dissolved over lack of strength to run the society

September 26, 2023

Smt. Sangita Dongre, the Joint Registrar (CIDCO) in Belapur, issued an order to dismiss the committee and appoint an administrator. This decision came after hearing complaints from over 50 members of the Newa Garden Phase-1 Co-operative Housing Society regarding the committee’s lack of strength, financial irregularities, and the poor condition of the society. However, the dismissal was primarily due to the committee’s failure to have minimum members required for monthly meetings, and other issues were not considered in this decision. The administrator Adv. Chandrakant Nikam has taken over the charge of the society on 4th September 2023.

The committee, led by Ex-Chairman Mr. Vijay Chougule and Ex-Secretary Mr. Sanjay Singh, had been making significant financial decisions and running the society without the necessary quorum in their monthly meetings for over a year. In an attempt to avoid dismissal, between the two hearings conducted on 6th June 2023 and 28th June 2023, the committee tried to co-opt five members on 25th June 2023. Nevertheless, a report submitted by the Presiding Officer Mr. MV Raverkar revealed that this co-option was also conducted improperly without quorum. Consequently, the committee was deemed incompetent to conduct any business on the day when the co-option took place and the co-option is considered illegal.

Members of the Newa Garden Phase-1 Co-operative Housing Society have faced ongoing issues with Mr. Mithubhai Mav, the builder and Director of M/s Newaraj Builders, for the past 12 years. Despite the completion of the statutory period following the society’s formation, the property has not been conveyed to the society. The state government has repeatedly urged societies to apply for deemed conveyance, but the managing committee elected in 2019 failed to take any steps in this regard.

In a recent communication, the builder admitted that he has not conveyed the land because he is expecting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for additional Floor Space Index (FSI). The managing committee made attempts to assist the builder in approving a new wing in an AGM, which the majority of members opposed. Furthermore, the secretary, Sanjay Singh, attempted to construct a temple without approval in a general body meeting.

The members of the society are deeply aggrieved by the actions of both the builder and the managing committee. In addition to lodging complaints with the Joint Registrar (CIDCO), some members have sought justice by approaching the Maharashtra State Consumer Complaint Redressal Forum.

Planting seeds of change: Project Sahayata Takes Strides Towards SDG Goal 6

August 16, 2023

Project Sahayata was launched in March 2023 by high schoolers Samaira Mohunta, Kavin Sharma, Shiv Chauhan, Nitya Rathi, Miheeka Bagla, and Vaasavi Daga with the aim of uplifting the infrastructure and amenities available in under-resourced schools in Gurugram under NGO Parvaah.

The inaugural phase of Project Sahayata witnessed the installation of 10 water purifiers and 10 cold water dispensers, not only in the adopted S. P. Public School but also across neighbouring schools. At the launch event, graced by the presence of Justice Alok Jain, Hon’ble Judge of Punjab & Haryana High Court, as the Chief Guest, and esteemed personalities like Sh. Virendra Vij (IPS), DCP East Gurgaon, and Ms. Benu Malhotra, Founder and Trustee of Parvaah, the initiative’s profound impact was unveiled.

“We will improve the hygiene and basic sanitation in the identified schools and Project Sahayata will bring in the much-needed upliftment. We will also work closely with the teachers to promote sports, art and crafts and create an environment to make school more enjoyable and fun for these students,” Samaira Mohunta, President, Parvaah said.

In July, Project Sahayata’s second campaign took flight, aligning with the sanitation objectives of UN SDG Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. By utilizing funds generated from the sale of cards and envelopes crafted by the children during their summer break, the initiative successfully established a hygienic toilet and hand-washing station at S.P. Public School, Gurugram.

This 76th Independence Day, Project Sahayata adopted the community ground for the students of S. P Public School and a few other students of schools in the vicinity. After levelling the ground, they orchestrated a vibrant tree plantation initiative, breathing life into the landscape with 60 new trees. Each sapling signifies their commitment to cultivating a greener future for these children, who will soon have a playground that they can truly call their own.

“Having access to an accessible and safe playground to move, exercise, and play is a vital component to ensuring healthy lives for younger children. That is what our next campaign is going to be about,” said Samaira Mohunta, President of Parvaah.

Project Sahayata, launched by determined high schoolers in March 2023, has ignited a transformative journey in Gurugram’s under-resourced S. P. Public School. From enhancing basic amenities and promoting hygiene to installing vital facilities, their actions mirror a commitment to education and holistic development. Soon, these children will revel in a playground truly their own, surrounded by the living testament of their brighter tomorrow. With each upcoming initiative, Project Sahayata will paint a brighter and greener future for these children, encapsulating the power of youth-driven change.

Dr. Adish Aggarwala felicitated in Mumbai on being elected as the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association

July 24, 2023

Dr Adish Aggarwala, President of the Supreme Court Bar association being felicitated by Advocate Partho Sarkar, President Western Region, Insolvency and Corporate Professionals Association of India (ICPAI), Advocate Nilesh Ojha, National President, Indian Bar Association and other dignitaries.

Dr. Adish Aggarwala (Sr. Advocate) was felicitated on 22nd July, 2023 at Mumbai on his being elected as the President of Supreme Court Bar Association by Indian Bar Association, Insolvency and Corporate Professionals Association of India and International Committee of Jurists for Human Rights Protection.  The program was attended by representatives of various Bar Associations, Governing Body members of Western India Regional Council of Chartered Accountants of India, including its chairman Sh. Arpit Kabra, faculties of various law schools including Government Law College, and prominent members of the civil society.

Adv. Partho Sarkar introduced Dr. Aggarwala, and described his outstanding academic and professional achievements, his holding of important positions in the Central Government and with various State Governments, and also various important positions in numerous Global Jurist Associations and bodies.

Dr. Adish Aggarwala (Sr. Advocate) took the participants through his struggles in life, rising from the position of a Clerk in an Advocate’s Office to holding the Office of Advocate General and becoming an elected representative in various Bar Councils and also premier Bar Associations in India.

Dr Adish Aggarwala addresses the audience on the occasion of his felicitation in Mumbai on 22nd July, 2023

To underscore the strength of people’s power towards pursuing judicial reforms, Dr. Aggarwala shared his recent experience when 6000 advocates and other commoners assembled in Delhi on 9th July 2023, when the heaviest rainfall was witnessed and life was almost brought to a standstill. Dr. Aggarwala also touched upon the power of spirituality in terms of the strength one can gain from reciting the Hanuman Chalisa.

Dr. Aggarwala highlighted the uncle-judge syndrome rampant in the Judiciary. He emphasised his crusade against  the practice of lawyers practicing in the same court wherein their relatives are Judges and it creating a situation where though an Advocate may not personally appear before his relative Judge, but the appearance is indirect either through his associate advocates and otherwise communication channels amongst peer judges are always open which can be put to misuse. Dr. Aggarwala shared his experience about the displeasure he earned from the judges and other authorities for exposing the practice of the apparent nexus amongst select Advocates and Judges. He also lamented the shaken public confidence in the Judiciary because of the misconduct by a couple of Advocates and Judges, and the need to address this.

Dr. Aggarwala stressed the need for urgent structural reforms in the Judiciary by way of structural reforms. If an erring High Court Judge is found inappropriate or is indulging in abuse of power, transfer to any other High Court is not the solution, since a Judge who is unfit for one High Court he would be unfit for any other High Court, and steps should be taken for his removal to send a clear message, that no one is above the law.

Dr. Aggarwala advised the legal fraternity that to survive in the legal profession, the way forward is digitisation and transformation to a paperless office, and lauded the present CJI, Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud for leaving no stone unturned so that by effective implementation of digitisation speedy and effective justice delivery reaches to the last mile in the remotest corners of the country. Dr. Aggarwala underlined the various kinds of training programs, organised by the Supreme Court in its march towards digitisation and emphasized the role of Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud in ensuring that justice delivery becomes smart and efficient.

Other panel speakers were Adv. Subhash Jha, Adv. Partho Sarkar, Adv. Nilesh Ojha and Adv. Ghanshyam Upadhyay who built on the momentum laid by Dr. Aggarwala, and concurred with his views that unless the Judiciary is reformed, the collapse of the fabric of an orderly society is imminent and that the Judiciary is for the benefit of the common public and not the other way round. Adv. Ghanshyam Upadhyay highlighted that advocates should behave themselves as independent officers of the court, rather than being meek and submissive, only to remain in the good books of Judges to secure favorable orders; and in the process, equity and justice is the casualty that can be ill-afforded by the society at large. He stressed that unless Advocates unite and raise their voices wherever there is bias, corruption or misconduct indulged by anyone, be it Judges or Advocates, without which judicial dispensation to the benefit of society cannot improve.

The program was compered by Adv. Saurabh Khanna and prominent advocates fighting for the cause of commoners. Adv. Nilesh Ojha, Adv. Partho Sarkar, Adv. Dipali Ojha, Adv. Nicky Pokar, Adv. Subhash Jha, Adv. Ghanshyam Upadhaya, Adv. Vijay Kurle, Adv. Tanvir Nizam, Adv. Rajesh Panchal and Adv. Ishwarlal Agrawal were also felicitated on this occasion by Dr. Adish Aggarwala.

Cambay Tiger Ensures Sustainable Seafood Supply During Fishing Ban on India’s West Coast

June 26, 2023

Mumbai – During the months of June to August, the Indian government implements a fishing ban on the West Coast of India to protect the marine ecosystem and allow fish populations to replenish. This ban, while essential for maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment, often leads to a shortage of seafood in the market. While the ban presents short-term challenges it also provides an opportunity to promote sustainable seafood consumption practices.

One brand that’s always been at the centre of sustainability in the seafood industry is Cambay Tiger. With its expertise in aquaculture, it is well-equipped to bridge this gap and provide customers with a steady supply of fresh and sustainable seafood.

Grow Billion Trees: A Global Crusade Against Climate Change Led by Indian Army Veterans

June 22, 2023

As our planet hurtles towards a climate precipice, two former Indian Army veterans, Surendra Singh and Bishambhar Dayal Sharma, have embarked on a mission to combat the climate crisis. Their brainchild, ‘Grow Billion Trees‘, is a global initiative that aims to plant and protect billions of trees worldwide.

Having served their country with distinction, these veterans now serve the planet, applying the discipline, leadership, and strategic thinking honed during their military careers to the war against environmental degradation.

Our planet, once teeming with six trillion trees, has seen a sharp decline to a mere three trillion due to human activities. These staggering figures translate to a loss of 50% of the world’s trees, which are the lungs of the earth, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

This massive reduction in our green cover has serious implications for climate change, as trees sequester approximately 300 billion tonnes of carbon, around 40 times the annual greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.

The initiative offers a comprehensive approach to tackling deforestation by focusing on planting native tree species that can thrive in local environments. This carefully curated methodology contributes to local biodiversity and helps restore ecosystems.

The initiative has also ingeniously intertwined ecological responsibility with personal and cultural celebrations. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or memorial, planting a tree offers a unique and environmentally conscious way to commemorate these occasions.

In addition, ‘Grow Billion Trees’ extends this innovative idea to major festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Raksha Bandhan, Christmas, and Eid, as well as special days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Women’s Day. Each tree planted in honor of these occasions comes with a unique Tree E-certificate and a customizable e-greeting card, making the celebration even more meaningful. These tree plantings create personal, lasting tributes that contribute to the health of the planet.

But the initiative’s reach goes beyond individual actions. Recognizing the crucial role of businesses in addressing climate change, ‘Grow Billion Trees’ organizes special tree plantation drives for corporations. These drives help companies offset their carbon footprints and judiciously utilize their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) budgets, thereby amplifying their contributions towards sustainable development.

While the primary mission is tree planting, the initiative doesn’t overlook the need to protect existing forests. It underlines the importance of a balanced approach: planting new trees and conserving the existing ones.

In undertaking this mammoth task, ‘Grow Billion Trees’ aspires to not only combat climate change and environmental degradation but also to enhance local communities. It aims to provide sustainable jobs, improve air quality, and contribute to global carbon sequestration efforts.

“Small actions can lead to significant transformations. By nurturing ecosystems, empowering local communities, and raising awareness, we can create a sustainable world for future generations,” urges Singh.

This global mission, led by the tenacity and strategic thinking of two Indian Army veterans, serves as a beacon of resilience and a rallying cry for collective action. As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, ‘Grow Billion Trees’ stands as a testament to humanity’s capacity for innovation, collaboration, and determination in the face of adversity.
