The Chadar Mahotsav Committee is chaired by Maharashtra Government Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, with former JITO Chairman Tejraj Golecha serving as Convenor. Around 400 saints from various Indian traditions and nearly 20,000 devotees are expected to attend the three-day event.First Formal Abhishek After 871 YearsAccording to Chairman Mangal Prabhat Lodha, this initiative is not merely a religious ritual but a global movement of faith, unity, and spiritual awakening. At a designated time, devotees across India and abroad will recite the Dadaguru Iktisa Paath simultaneously, creating a collective wave of spiritual consciousness worldwide.For the first time in 871 years, the sacred Chadar of Dadagurudev Shri Jindattsuri will undergo a formal ceremonial Abhishek. Prior to this, the Chadar will be brought in a grand procession (Varghoda) from the Jaisalmer Fort to the festival venue. On March 8, Upadhyay Mahendrasagar Maharaj will be conferred the title of Acharya.Global Participation in the Collective RecitationPrakash Chandra Lodha, National Chairman of the Dadaguru Iktisa Program, stated that the central attraction of the three-day Chadar Mahotsav (March 6–8, 2026) will be the historic collective recitation by 10.8 million devotees worldwide on March 7.

Jaisalmer district is considered an extremely significant religious site for the Jain community.Sacred Chadar: A Symbol of Unwavering FaithAccording to Organizing Committee Secretary Padam Tatia, the first Dadaguru, Acharya Shri Jindattsuri, is regarded as a great 11th-century spiritual leader. As per tradition, his last rites were performed in Ajmer on land granted by King Arnoraj. During the cremation, the miraculous event of the Chadar not burning became a symbol of divine grace and remains a center of deep faith for devotees.Historical records state that about one and a half centuries ago, the Maharawal of Jaisalmer brought this Chadar from Anhilpur Patan to mitigate a devastating epidemic. Currently, the sacred Chadar is preserved at Shri Jinbhadra Suri Gyan Bhandar inside Jaisalmer Fort. The Chadar Mahotsav is organized based on this revered tradition.National Scholarly SeminarOn March 7 and 8, 2026, a National Scholarly Seminar will be held on the theme: “Contribution of the Dadaguru Tradition to India’s Cultural Unity, Social Harmony, and Integration.”Institutions including Jodhpur University, Rajasthan University, Prakrit Bharati Institute, and the Centre for Society and Cultural Studies will participate as knowledge partners.

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi, February 2026: The capital witnessed an electrifying blend of faith and festivity as Via Veda hosted a grand Maha Shivratri Bhajan Jamming Night at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. What began with the serene notes of the Ganga Aarti soon transformed into a high-energy devotional concert, drawing thousands of attendees across age groups.The evening seamlessly merged traditional chants with immersive soundscapes, creating what organisers called a “bhajan clubbing” experience. As chants of “Om Namah Shivaya” echoed under the open sky, the crowd swayed in unison, turning the stadium into a sea of raised hands and glowing phone lights.Performers Suhas Sawant and Gajendra Pratap Singh took centre stage with powerful renditions of “Jai Mahakaal,” “Kailash Mein Niwasi,” and “Dulha Bane Hai Baba,” keeping the energy soaring through the night. Their performances struck a chord with the younger audience, many of whom described the event as a refreshing way to celebrate tradition.Adding to the spiritual essence, attendees received Vibhuti from the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and 5 Mukhi Siddh Rudraksha from the Pashupatinath Temple. Prasad boxes were distributed, along with digital wallet credits for astrology consultations on the Via Veda platform — reflecting the brand’s fusion of heritage and technology.Founder Kajal Bihani called the night “a celebration of collective devotion.” As midnight chants faded, a quiet calm settled over the venue — proof that even in a bustling metropolis, faith continues to unite.Guest attended the event were Kiran Chopra Chairperson Punjab Kesari Group Aman Preet IRS, Poonam Anand, Nikita Khattar Arya, Anuj Lalwani, Sonia Sanjay Singh, Means Malhotra, Chaavi Tayal ]]></description>

<title>TRAI Launches Pilot Project for Digital Consent Management in Partnership with RBI and Banks</title>

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi, 16th June,
2025: The
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has observed that a large number
of spam complaints are made by the customers against the business entities from
whom the consumers have earlier purchased goods or services. On investigation, such
business entities often claim that they possess the consent of the consumer for
receiving commercial calls and messages. 

Under the regulatory framework defined
by the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations
(TCCCPR), 2018, an entity can make commercial communications to a consumer
irrespective of his/her Do Not Disturb (DND) preferences provided the entity
has taken explicit consent from the consumer. However, in many cases, these
consents were collected through offline or unverifiable means, making it
extremely difficult to ascertain their validity and genuineness. In several
instances, consumers report that their mobile numbers have been acquired by the
entities for this purpose through misrepresentation, deception, or unauthorized
data-sharing practices.

TRAI has undertaken several innovative
regulatory measures in recent years to curb such practices. These include
allowing consumers to register complaints against unregistered telemarketers
(UTMs) even without prior DND registration, and initiating large-scale
disconnection of telecom resources being misused by the entities for spamming
activities. However, verification of consent for commercial communication citing
offline consent of consumer, remains a formidable challenge. 

To address the issue, the
regulations provide for acquiring consent digitally by the entities and
registering them in a secure and interoperable digital consent registry
maintained by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) for easy verification of
consents while commercial communication is made to the consumers. However, for
successful operation of this consent registration framework, onboarding of
entities sending commercial communications is a necessary requirement. 

Accordingly, to begin the
national roll-out, TRAI has launched a Pilot Project in coordination with the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) involving select banks and has issued a Direction on
13th June, 2025, to all the Telecom Service Providers, mandating
them to pilot this framework in collaboration with banks. Given the sensitivity
of banking transactions and cases of financial frauds through spam calls, the
banking sector has been prioritized for the first phase of implementation. This
Pilot, running under a Regulatory Sandbox framework, will validate the
operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of the enhanced Consent
Registration Function (CRF) and lay the foundation for sector-wise scaling of
the digital consent ecosystem. 

TRAI remains committed to
safeguarding consumer interest and enhancing trust in legitimate commercial
communications. The Authority will continue to work with sectoral regulators
and stakeholders to ensure that the ecosystem evolves towards more secure,
transparent, and consumer-centric practices. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  CAR-T Cell Therapy being done at HCG Cancer Center is proving to be a game changer for cancer patients.This advanced technology is providing accessible and advanced treatment for serious cancers like blood cancer, lymphoma.CAR T-cell therapy recreates the immunity to fight the disease by changing the patient&#039;s immune system.Jaipur, February 19: Cancer is a serious disease. Cases of blood, lung, prostate, breast and cervical cancer are increasing rapidly every year in India. In recent years, many new technologies have been developed in cancer treatment. In this direction, India&#039;s first gene-based CAR T-cell therapy has emerged as a new ray of hope for blood, lymphoma cancer patients. This technology is not only effective, but it has also been made affordable and accessible, so that common patients can also benefit.In a press conference held on Wednesday, experts from the Oncology Department of HCG Cancer Center discussed this advanced therapy in detail. According to experts, CAR T-cell therapy is a revolutionary step in the treatment of cancer, which regenerates the ability to fight cancer by changing the patient&#039;s immune system.What is CAR T-cell therapyThis therapy enables the patient&#039;s own T-cells to fight cancer through gene editing technology. After this, they are put back into the patient&#039;s body, where they identify and destroy cancer cells. Experts believe that this technology is adding a new chapter in the field of cancer treatment.This therapy is very effective in cancerDr. Naresh Somani, Director Oncology at HCG Cancer Center Jaipur and Dr. Abhishek Charan, Medical Oncologist, said that CAR T-cell therapy is proving to be very effective in the treatment of cancer patients. Recently, a patient has got life donation with this advanced technology. He told that the patient Neeraj (name changed), whose age is 63 years, was suffering from B cell lymphoma for the past few years. He took treatment from outside but after 6 months he was again affected by the disease. After that he consulted Dr. Abhishek Charan Medical Oncologist at HCG Cancer Center Jaipur and in his tests the patient was found to have stage IV lymphoma. After this the patient was treated with CAR T-cell therapy. After complete treatment, when the patient&#039;s PET CT was checked once again, according to the PET CT the patient is completely healthy and is living his normal life.This is how the therapy worksDr. Naresh Somani tells that in this therapy T cells are taken from the patient&#039;s blood and then with the help of a receptor the gene is combined with the T cells in the laboratory which targets a certain protein on the patient&#039;s cancer cells. This special receptor is called chimeric antigen receptor. In this, a large number of CAR T cells are modified in the laboratory and then infused into the patient. This therapy strengthens the patient&#039;s immune system to fight cancer. This therapy is the latest technology in the world, with which blood and lymphoma cancer can be easily defeated. This facility is available only at a few selected places in the world.Dr. Bharat Rajpurohit, COO of the institute, told that HCG Cancer Center, one of the top cancer treatment hospitals in the country, is a large cancer treatment center in Rajasthan, where along with advanced and latest technologies, a skilled and professional team of medical experts is also present under one roof, which ensures the right care and accurate treatment of cancer patients. HCG Cancer Hospital is part of a chain, which has more than 24 hospitals across the country, where patients are provided with correct and accurate treatment through state-of-the-art technology, a vast network of skilled oncologists and new age treatment protocols.
