मंत्री संजय सरावगी ने बिहार दिवस पर "उन्नत बिहार, विकसित बिहार" के संकल्प के साथ मुंबई एवं देश दुनिया में रह रहे सभी बिहारी प्रवासियों को बिहार की स्थापना के 113वें वर्षगाँठ की बधाई देते हुए शुभकामनाएँ दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के मार्गदर्शन एवं बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार के नेतृत्व में बिहार निरंतर आगे बढ़ रहा है। पीएम मोदी का 2047 तक भारत को विकसित राष्ट्र बनाने का जो संकल्प है, उसमें बिहार की भी अग्रणी भूमिका रहेगी। महाराष्ट्र और मुम्बई का हृदय से आभार जिसने प्रवासी बिहारी भाइयों एवं बहनों को अपने सपनों को साकार करने का अवसर और एक सशक्त मंच प्रदान किया। महाराष्ट्र की भूमि ने उन्हें कर्मभूमि दी तो बिहार ने उन्हें संस्कार, मेहनत एवं जज़्बे की पहचान सौंपी। यह आपके खुले दिल और स्वीकार्यता का ही परिणाम है कि बिहारी प्रवासी अपनी प्रतिभा और परिश्रम से आपकी प्रगति में अपना योगदान दे रहे हैं।

 मंत्री सरावगी ने आगे कहा कि अब बिहार के हालात एकदम से बदल चुके है। जहां 2005 से पहले बिहार में सिर्फ 3 सरकारी इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज एवं 13 पॉलिटेकनिक संस्थान थे। वहीं आज बिहार में 38 सरकारी इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज एवं 38 पॉलिटेकनिक संस्थान हैं। बिहार के हर ज़िले में एक सरकारी मेडिकल कॉलेज के लक्ष्य को पूरा किया जा रहा है। आज प्रदेश में 21 सरकारी मेडिकल कॉलेज सुचारु रूप से काम कर रहा है, और 23 सरकारी मेडिकल कॉलेज निर्माणाधीन है। पटना के बाद दरभंगा में भी एम्स जैसे विश्वस्तरीय अस्पताल का निर्माण हो रहा है।"

साथ ही बिहार में रेल हवाई सम्पर्क को नई ऊँचाइयाँ मिल रही है। गया और पटना एयरपोर्ट का विस्तार हो रहा है, दरभंगा एयरपोर्ट से रोज़ाना नए शहरों के लिए उड़ाने बढ़ाई जा रही है। पूर्णियाँ एयरपोर्ट से जल्द ही उड़ान शुरू हो जाएगी। अयोध्या में निर्मित श्री राम मंदिर के तर्ज पर सीतामढ़ी के पुनौरा धाम में 50 एकड़ में विशाल माँ जानकी मंदिर के निर्माण का निर्णय लिया जा चुका है।

उन्होंने बिहार के प्रवासियों से यह निवेदन किया कि अपनी कर्मभूमि महाराष्ट्र की सेवा के साथ साथ जन्मभूमि बिहार की उन्नति, प्रगति एवं विकास में अपना अमूल्य योगदान दें।

मंत्री ने आगे बताया कि अगले 10 वर्षो में बिहार इतनी तरक्की कर लेगा कि वहां के लोगों को काम के लिए कहीं और नहीं जाना पड़ेगा।

Actors XI Triumphs Over Leaders XI by 2 Wickets in Thrilling Match for TB-Mukt Bharat Awareness

Mumbai, March 23, 2025 :In an exciting T20 friendly match held at the MCA Cricket Stadium in Mumbai, Actors XI, led by Bollywood star Sunil Shetty, defeated Leaders XI, captained by former Union Minister and MP Anurag Singh Thakur, by 2 wickets. The match was part of the ongoing TB-Free India initiative, a campaign spearheaded by Anurag Thakur to raise awareness about tuberculosis (TB) and its eradication.

The thrilling match, which stretched late into the night, saw both teams putting up an outstanding display of cricket. Leaders XI, after winning the toss and opting to bat, scored 249/3 in their allotted 20 overs, with Yusuf Pathan leading the charge with a brilliant 119 off 38 balls. Mohammad Azharuddin remained unbeaten at 54, while Captain Anurag Thakur contributed 18 runs. Despite the impressive total, Actors XI, under the captaincy of Sunil Shetty, chased down the target, scoring 251/8 with four balls remaining. Yusuf Pathan’s scintillating performance earned him the “Man of the Match” award, while Anurag Thakur was honored with the “Best Fielder” title.

Governor of Maharashtra, Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan inaugurated the match and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde concluded the event. Prominent dignitaries including bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, along with MPs such as Ms.  Supriya Sule, Shri Arvind Sawant, and Ms. Pritam Munde among others attended the event. 

During the event, Governor Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan emphasized the importance of TB eradication in India. “We aim to make India TB-free by 2025. This match, with participation from MPs and actors, will help spread awareness about TB elimination. I congratulate all the participants and Anurag Thakur for organising such a meaningful initiative," he said.

The match is a part of Anurag Thakur’s ongoing efforts to spread awareness about tuberculosis and its elimination. Speaking after the match, Deputy CM Shri Eknath Shinde praised the initiative, saying, “Shri Anurag Thakur’s vision behind organizing this match is remarkable. It’s heartening to see leaders and actors coming together for such a cause. This event strengthens Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s TB-Free India campaign, and it was exciting to witness this fantastic match.”

Anurag Thakur reiterated the significance of such campaigns in the fight against TB. “We will continue to play matches across the country to raise awareness about TB. Today’s match in Mumbai with the Actors XI was a fantastic experience. While we may have lost the game, the objective behind this match—raising awareness about TB—was a success. Our real fight is against TB, and we will succeed in eliminating it from India.”

Actors XI captain Sunil Shetty emphasized the importance of the cause, saying, “The goal is clear—TB must be eradicated from the country. Winning or losing the match is secondary; making India TB-free is our true aim.” This is not the first time Anurag Thakur has organized such a match to raise awareness about TB.

Inauguration of ‘Hall of Nuclear Power’ at Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai.

 

NEHRU SCIENCE CENTRE

(National Council of Science Museums)

Dr. E. Moses Road, Worli, Mumbai - 400 018

21st March, 2025 : Development and energy demand are deeply interdependent. Without adequate energy, growth is hindered, leading to crises. In a fast-growing nation like India, energy is crucial for development, and per capita energy consumption serves as a key indicator of progress. To meet rising demands, a balanced mix of renewable and non-renewable sources is essential. While solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower have limitations, nuclear energy stands out as a cheap, stable, long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and safe alternative.  

India’s fossil fuel reserves are depleting, and their continued use contradicts global commitments to reducing emissions. Renewable energy technologies are still evolving and face economic and environmental challenges. Recognizing this, Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha envisioned a three-stage nuclear program in 1959, ensuring a long-term, sustainable energy solution. 

Despite its advantages, nuclear energy faces public safety concerns. India’s defense in depth policies and engineered reactor designs ensure robust safety, but the public often lacks direct exposure to these safeguards. To bridge this knowledge gap, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) collaborated with the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM)  to establish the  Hall of Nuclear Power at  Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai —Dr. Bhabha’s birthplace and home to India’s first nuclear facility. With over 7 lakh annual visitors, including 2 lakh students, the centre is an ideal location to showcase nuclear energy’s role in India's development.  

Launched on 20th August 2011, the gallery has played a pivotal role in educating visitors about nuclear science and its real-world applications. With rapid advancements in nuclear technology, the gallery has now been renovated with NPCIL’s support to reflect the latest developments.  

The 700 sq. m. gallery, featuring 70 exhibits, takes visitors on an immersive journey through the history, applications, and future of nuclear energy.  Interactive panels, videos, dioramas, AR-VR technologies, and virtual walkthroughs explain concepts such as nuclear fission, reactor operations, neutron moderation, heat transfer, and radiation safety. A major highlight is the section on nuclear safety, covering engineered safeguards, radiation protection, and environmental impact. 

Beyond power generation, the gallery showcases nuclear technology’s applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry, along with strategies for net-zero emissions and a diversified energy future. Visitors can explore nuclear waste management, fuel processing, and the impact of energy choices through hands-on interactive exhibits, multimedia kiosks, and decision-making simulations.  

A state-of-the-art virtual tour of a nuclear power plant allows visitors to experience the inner workings of a reactor, reinforcing public understanding and confidence in nuclear energy. The gallery also honours Dr. Homi Bhabha, highlighting his vision for India's self-reliance in energy.  

The Hall of Nuclear Power is designed to provide visitors with credible, engaging, and unbiased insights into nuclear energy. Through self-guided learning, they can explore its benefits, challenges, and future potential—empowering them to form informed opinions about this vital energy source.  

The Hall of Nuclear Power was reopened on 24th March, 2025 by Shri Bhuwan Chandra Pathak, distinguished scientist and Chairman & Managing Director, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) in the august presence of Shri B.V.S. Sekhar, outstanding scientist & Executive Director (Corporate Planning & Corporate Communication), NPCIL. The other Dignitaries present on the occasion included Shri Umed Yadav, Additional Chief Engineer (Corporate Planning & Corporate Communication), NPCIL and Shri Umesh Kumar Rustagi, Director, Nehru Science Centre (NCSM).

International Squash Returns to India with JSW India Open 2025

~ The JSW India Open will be held from 24-28 March in Mumbai ~

Mumbai, 22 March, 2025: The countdown has begun to what is set to be a landmark moment in Squash in India. JSW are delighted to announce the JSW Indian Open 2025, India's first ever PSA Squash Copper tournament tournament, with a prize purse of USD 53,500. The JSW Indian Open 2025 will commence from 24 March, with the finals scheduled for the 28th at the Bombay Gymkhana. The competition will begin on the indoor courts, with the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final set to be played on a full-glass outdoor court, offering fans a unique experience. 

The JSW India Open is even more significant for the Indian sports fraternity as it welcomes back a major squash tournament to the country after a seven-year hiatus. Co-incidentally, squash is set to make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games. 

The return of top-level squash in India with the JSW India Open was announced in the presence of Manisha Malhotra, President, Inspire Institute of Sports, Divyanshu Singh, COO JSW Sports, Ramit Tandon (India No 1 in Men’s Squash) and Anahat Singh (India No 3 in Women’s Squash). 

This tournament will see top Indian squash players such Ramit Tandon, Velavan Senthilkumar, Veer Chotrani, Anahat Singh, and Akanksha Salunkhe take the court, alongside some talented international athletes from France, Spain, Holland, Egypt, Canada, England, USA, Malaysia, and Japan among other countries. Both the Men’s and Women’s draw will see a total of 24 players each with India’s Ramit Tandon and Akanksha Salunkhe going in as the top seeds, respectively. Meanwhile, India’s Suraj Kumar Chand and Anjali Semwal are the two Wild Card entries at the JSW India Open.

Manisha Malhotra, President, IIS said, “We are delighted to be able to bring squash back to India at the highest level. Sports like squash need to see the return of the circuits at the state and national level. And through such events, we have to promote and support our players and they need to learn how to play bigger events. From an Indian perspective, it's definitely a sport we can dominate, so this will be a good opportunity for us. 

Divyanshu Singh, COO, JSW Sports stated, “We are trying to develop an ecosystem when it comes to the business of sport in India. It is dominated by cricket, but our endeavour is to change that and promote other Indian sports. Very luckily, Indian squash has six players in the top 100, which is a phenomenal achievement already. There is great optimism that going forward up to LA2028, these athletes will shine for India and we are here to get them on the spot.”

“From a marketing perspective, our endeavour is to raise the profile of the players and to raise the popularity of the sport,” he added.

When asked upon his thoughts on the tournament, India No. 1 Ramit Tandon said, “It's always good to play at home. I think in India we don't get the opportunity to do it enough so I'm very thankful to JSW and everyone involved who have made this possible. Especially with the Olympics coming up, our PSA rankings are going to be crucial and home court advantage is something Indians don't really get at the top level. Since this is the biggest squash event ever to be hosted in India, it's important in terms of reaching out to more number of people and getting more eyeballs on the sport. I think it's a beautiful thing to have some more sports events within the country so I'm excited.”

India No. 3, Anahat Singh stated, “This will be one of the bigger tournaments for me up till now and getting to play in India as well as being able to play with so many international players is going to be wonderful. Especially for me it's really important for my ranking and getting to play at home rather than travelling outside the country so much.”

Mumbai, March 21: The nationally awarded NGO from Rajasthan, Narayan Seva Sansthan, will organize a large-scale free camp for the welfare of differently-abled individuals on Sunday, March 23, in Mumbai. The camp will be held at Niko Hall, Plot No. 432, near Wadala Udyog Bhavan, Dadar (East), from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Camp coordinator and Mumbai branch in-charge, Mr. Lalit Lohar, mentioned that free meals, tea, and refreshments will be provided to patients and their families attending the camp. Dignitaries and prominent members of Mumbai society have also been invited to grace the occasion.

Media and public relations officer, Mr. Bhagwan Prasad Gaur, appealed to all differently-abled individuals to take advantage of this opportunity and requested that those attending the camp bring their Aadhaar card, disability certificate, and two passport-size photographs.
