Having etched his name in the books of history as one of the most outstanding philanthropists of all times, Dr SPS Oberoi, also known as “Saviour Singh” has been relentlessly playing the role of a Champion “Corona Frontline Hunger Warrior” ever since the lockdown was enforced in the country. One of his key mission being to feed the empty stomachs especially for the ones who have been inept in making both ends meet.
His organization has earmarked an overall budget of Rs 20 crores for distribution of ration, masks, sanitizers, PPE Kits, Ventilators and other allied medical equipments. From day one of the Lockdown i.e. on 25th March’ 2020, Dr Oberoi and his team of passionate crusaders have been on ground zero playing the role of good Samaritans on a war footing note to supervise the distribution of essential goods and medical equipments to people in need as well as to the civil hospitals, medical colleges and the police personnel’s. The team of diligent crusaders go about executing their relief works in an extremely organized manner. Adhering to all the norms of the social distancing, the team undertakes all due safety measures while delivering the essential goods at different nooks and corners.
Through his International Charitable Trust named “Sarbat Da Bhala” which means “Welfare of All, Dubai based Indian businessman Dr SPS Oberoi has accomplished countless humanitarian missions since the last three decades. Over the years, Philanthropy has become a way of life for him. Oberoi shot to fame when he gave the blood money for saving the lives of 17 Indian youths that had been handed the death sentence by a Sharjah civil court for murdering a Pakistan based man some years ago. Ever since, he has been instrumental in saving many lives from the gallows. His noble deeds have earned him the sobriquet “Saviour Singh”, and he is widely regarded as a Divine Emissary. He was awarded the world’s first ever Causa Grand PhD in Philanthropy by the International University of Fundamental Studies, Russia.
His Trust has undertaken extraordinary initiative in providing ration supply, N 95 masks, and sanitizers to the poor and needy ones during the entire period of the Corona Lockdown.
Besides, Dr Oberoi’s Trust has provided PPE kits, ventilators, masks and sanitizers to district hospitals and police personnel’s in Punjab and elsewhere.
Dr Oberoi may have accomplished numerous milestones in his illustrious career, but his relentless quest for undertaking humanitarian endeavors remains unchanged. He remains still as passionate and committed towards playing the role of a Samaritan as he was, when he began his philanthropic journey three decades ago.
With time advent, Dr Oberoi has only bettered his phenomenal feat of humanitarian works. He has never been deterred by the magnitude of a challenge instead he has perpetually seen an opportunity in adversity, and this is what really sets him apart from others. Corona Pandemic being no exception to the rule, Dr Oberoi got going from Day 1, and ever since, he has been on a sole Mission to cater to the basic needs of those in need, suffering and distress. As luck would have it, he was in India when the lockdown was announced, and he regards this as a “blessing”, as it provided him a splendid opportunity to be the Torchbearer, and personally supervise the day to day relief and humanitarian works.
The routine charitable works of the Sarbat Da Bhala Trust have not been hampered due to the onslaught of Corona, as an altogether separate budget has been allocated for that.
Sarbat Da Bhala Trust has been working for the last many years towards the rehabilitation of widows, destitute and the orphans, the Divyangs, and the EWS strata of the society. Besides, the Trust has been lending pivotal support to the different drug de-addiction centres in Punjab, the financially deprived schools, colleges and vocational institutions through the monthly pension schemes. The Trust has also provided infrastructural support to various prisons of Punjab and installed water purifiers in many prisons in India to ensure safe drinking water for the inmates. The Trust has also constructed a School for Special Needs Children near Patiala that caters to many students. Most important, the Trust has been instrumental in bringing back home the bodies of 110 people so far, who had lost their lives in the Gulf.
Dr SPS Oberoi has always made Humanity Proud with his remarkable contributions, and all the more now, in these trying and turbulent times of the Corona Pandemic.
He is not only the Pride of the Sikh fraternity, but in fact, the Pride of the entire Nation today.
It will be grossly unfair to draw an analogy between Yoga and any other practice or discipline as every practice has its own distinctiveness.
Yoga is much more than a physical exercise as it has a unique meditative and spiritual component.
Derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Yog’, Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that finds its roots in ancient India. The practice of yoga dates back to the Pre-Vedic Indus Valley era around 3000 BCE. Yoga finds a mention in the Rigveda, as well as in the Upanishads. The credit goes to Indian Yoga Gurus for introducing Yoga to the Western world.
Yoga is all about positivity, and spreading positivity through positive aura.
Our body makes connections with the mind, and together, the mind and the body make connections with the soul, and then going further, the soul makes connection with the Supreme Force, the God.
Similarly, when there is a global level connect between different nations, it plays a pivotal role in bridging gaps and eventually paves the way towards exploring solutions to most complex of problems.
In these trying times of Corona Pandemic, there are many self styled passionate volunteers who have played a remarkable role in acting as good Samaritans by reaching out to those in need of basic living amenities like food, medicines and sanitizers.
The Time tested Yoga practices have emerged as not only one of the best stress buster remedies this Corona, but have simultaneously played a vital role in inspiring people to be good human beings by caring for those in suffering, need and pain.
The role of Yoga in helping us deal with stress has indeed been very critical especially during the time when life has literally come to a grinding halt all of a sudden.
While we may be physically apart from each other, our bonds have remained intact as most of us have remained in touch with our loved ones and friends through the digital media
Yoga has the remarkable power to help people connect with each other as well as with your own self. Life today is extremely stressful owing to stringent deadlines and the unending hullabaloo that has become an integral part of our existence. As a result, more and more people are falling prey to life threatening ailments and other health hazards. Ask experts, and they will suggest you umpteen medications. I, for one, have always adhered to basic fitness regimes and a healthy lifestyle. It is a well acknowledged fact that most of the simple or complicated ailments are related to the sedentary and lethargic lifestyles. The benefits of age old practices such as morning or evening walking are innumerable, and should never be overlooked. The WHO definition of Health is, “a state of positive physical, mental and social well being, and not merely absence of disease”. I have always promoted the cause of positive health and total wellness of the individual as a whole “body, mind & spirit”.
As far as attaining a state of ‘Peace’ is concerned, it is a state of feeling well and being at peace with oneself, irrespective of the circumstances. One actually does not care of being lonely, or being with your friends and relatives. Meditation and having a positive attitude are effective ways to discover inner peace. Walking, pursuing hobbies, devoting time towards community work etc. help attain the much needed peace.
Corona Pandemic has already taught us many lessons, and who knows if it is going to have a drastic impact on our lives in times to come.
Now as we enter Lockdown 5.0 phase, it is time for the Mankind to not only embrace Yoga, but to make it an integral component of their day to day lives as it can help us lead a more holistic lifestyle!!

These are real unprecedented times when the entire Mankind has been subjected to a real Test. Living life in a “Lockdown Mode” is a Test of one’s resilience, resolve and perseverance, all combined. We, as a Nation of 1.3 billion, have so far displayed exemplary restraint and determination to ensure that we are successful in breaking the transmission chain. While we maybe still uncertain whether the Lockdown tenure would get stretched to Phase 4 or not, what we are really certain about, is the fact, that we would be the first Nation to hand a crushing defeat to Corona in the near future. In the absence of any cure for Corona presently, all we can do at the present juncture, is to sincerely adhere to all the norms that we have asked to follow during the course of the Lockdown.
The need of the hour is to stand unified in supporting both the ruling dispensation, as well as the braveheart Frontline Corona Warrior’s who are leading the fight from the front like Real “Champions of Humanity”.
We would do a world of good to ourselves as well as our Motherland if we continue maintaining “Social Distancing” like before so as to avert the threat of community transmission.
Keeping in consideration India’s humongous population, India has actually shown the world the way to combat eventualities like Corona that has wreaked havoc on nations like the USA, UK, Italy, Spain etc.
Albeit it may still be a long fight ahead as we are all fighting an “Invisible Enemy” and also because most of the positive cases are asymptomatic, but what we are absolutely sure about, is the fact that India will emerge as the new “Super Power” in the coming times.
A “Super Power” that the world would not only envy, but one that would allure other nations to have long lasting economic, political, and trade ties with India.
Indubitably, the world citizenry is on the threshold of witnessing the era of “Chexit”. As the name itself suggests, “Chexit” would mark the formal snapping of trading ties between China and its old trading partner countries.
The chorus is already growing louder by the day for sanctions against China as many nations have unanimously concurred that China had conspired to unleash a biological warfare on other countries so as to establish its overall supremacy on the global forum.
As a immediate fallout of “Chexit”, many countries will be inspired to make a beeline towards India to initiate a new era of trade ties and mutual economic prosperity. It is expected that India will now be laying more emphasis on manufacturing than trade and this in turn, will provide the much needed impetus to the ambitious “Make in India” project of the government.
Also, due onus has to be given to maintaining a balance between exports and imports that the country does henceforth, as proportionate export volume will play a pivotal role in not only consolidating the foreign exchange reserves, but also help in reviving the economy.
Thus, the need of the hour in these trying times, is to remain positive and stay focused towards realizing the Mission of making India once again the “Land of the “Golden Sparrow”.

Situated in the heart of the city in South Delhi, Kalkaji Temple holds colossal significance for devotees all over the globe. One of the most famous Temples of the Divine Goddess, Kalkaji Temple is an ancient and highly revered Sidhpeethas of the country. With its rich mythological significance, Kalkaji Temple is abode of the Divine Goddess “Kalka” or “Kali”, who is an incarnation of Goddess Durga. The Temple is situated atop a small hill, and is visited in huge numbers by devotees 365 days a year from all nooks and corners of the world.
Goddess Kalka
During the festive season of Navratris, the Holy Temple is thronged by countless devotees from all nooks and corners of the country. Since time immemorial, Kalkaji Temple has been a beacon of faith and fulfillment to countless of devotees from all over the world.
Appeased with their ardent devotion, Goddess Kalka granted the victory boon to the Pandavas here as an outcome of which they were successful in defeating the Kauravas in the epic Mahabharata war.
Since the outbreak of the Novel Corono Pandemic and the subsequent announcement and imposition of complete lockdown in the country, Mata Devotees have not only exhibited due caution and restraint, but have also played a pivotal role in spreading awareness among the underprivileged segments of the society about the pertinence of following social distancing norms. Devotees have in their special ways, played a critical role, in ensuring that the people in their vicinity adhere to the rudimentary norms and guidelines issued by the government.
Priests Sapan & Sarvesh Bhardwaj
Acting as real “Covid Warriors” and Heroes of the society in these trying and turbulent times, Kalka Mata devotees have organized “langar” for the slum dwellers in different areas, and have been spreading awareness about the need to remain in the confines of their homes so as to help break the chain of community transmission. Sanjay Kathuria, a devotee along with other devotees have organized langar sewa in their respective areas for the poor and migrant labourers.
Kalka Mandir Devotee Sanjay Kathuria has organized langar sewa for the needy ones in the lockdown phase
Unlike temples that remain closed during events like lunar and the solar eclipse, the doors of Kalkaji Temple remains forever open for the devotees round the year sans any restriction. However with the imposition of the lockdown following the sudden surge in the number of Corona positive cases, the temple entry was curtailed for the devotees as was the case with all other religious institutions across the length and breadth of the country.
All entry points to Kalkaji Temple have been sealed till the period of Lockdown
Kalka Mata devotees on their part, displayed remarkable restraint by not stepping out of their homes, and offering prayers from the confines of their home.
Ardent Mata devotee and aspiring devotional singer Pankaj Laadla has been going to the Kalkaji Temple on a regular basis since the past many years. Like countless other beings, Pankaj too was distressed, and found it tough to come to terms with the grim veracity in the first week of the imposition of the lockdown. It was tormenting for Pankaj to imagine life without a daily visit to the Kalkaji Temple. For the last few years, it had become a ritual of a sort for him to be singing devotional songs in praise of Divine Goddess Kalka in the Bhawan. The devotees feel a direct enchanting connect with Pankaj’s mellifluous voice and endless passion for devotional music. Since it was mandatory for everyone to be in a state of complete lockdown, Pankaj deemed it best to initiate a process of daily singing live on Facebook for his large number of followers. Quite naturally, the cheer on Pankaj’s face says it all, as he is overwhelmed with the endless love and support of all his FB friends and well wishers. Pankaj attributes it solely to the divine blessings of Kalka Mata that he has reached the threshold of launching a new music Album dedicated to Kalka Maa.
Devotional Singer Pankaj Laadla
With the objective of keeping everyone rejuvenated and in a positive frame of mind, Mata Ki Chowkis and other devotional programs are being hosted on Apps like Zoom that enable the devotees to view the same safely from their homes. Anuj Mittal, Chairman of Shree Kalka Ji Sajja Sewadar Mitr Mandal (Regd) has led from the front, and has organized Mata Ki Chowkis on the Zoom App so as to ensure both spiritual enchantment as well as digital connectivity. Besides, Anuj has played an incredible role as a “Covid Warrior” by continuously spreading awareness about the need to exercise restraint during the lockdown phase. Anuj will soon be organizing Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta Katha through Zoom App.
Priest Ajay Bhardwaj shares, “We stand unified like one integrated unit with our country and Prime Minister in these challenging times and crisis moments. There is a complete restriction on the entry of any devotee to the Temple premises. Lockdown norms are being completely followed, and we are working in tandem with the government. Various entry points leading to the Temple have all been sealed till the period of lockdown. The sanitation workers have done a brilliant job in sanitizing the entire Temple compound. We are praying for the well being and safety of every human irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or nationality. We are optimistic that Humanity will soon emerge triumphant over Corona Virus.”
Elucidating more on the same, Priests Sapan and Sarvesh Bhardwaj say, “Akin to the concept of “Work from Home”, the lockdown has resulted in the emergence of a temporary new phenomenon named “Devotion from Home” wherein devotees are offering their prayers through the virtual medium. As Temple Priests, we duly understand the plight of countless devotees who have been thronging the Temple since last many years. For them to cope with this sudden turn of events, is indeed commendable. I must laud each one of them as they have all proven themselves to be real wise and responsible citizens of our great Nation.”
Uma Ratudi has been playing a key role in ensuring the upkeep of basic hygiene and sanitation in the Temple premises
Prominent member of Kalka Mata’s Sewadaar Samiti, Uma Ratudi has displayed extraordinary mettle during these crucial times, and played her role to perfection in undertaking the sanitation and cleanliness chores in the Temple.
No wonder, extraordinary circumstances often bring along with them extraordinary strength and resilience . ..and help ordinary beings evolve into extraordinary Heroes.
Kalka Mata Devotees have in their own special way etched their names as True “Champions of Humanity”.

CSR depends on various factors
What are SDG’s
17 SDG’s
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is now a standard practice among many companies worldwide. CSR activities involve initiatives that benefit society or the environment, and many large companies actively engage in them.
Why should corporates do CSR Activities
Corporates should engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities for a range of ethical, strategic, and business-driven reasons. Here’s a breakdown of why CSR matters for companies:
1. Reputation and Brand Image
CSR builds public trust and enhances a company’s brand reputation.
Companies that are seen as socially responsible are more likely to attract customers, talent, and investors.
Positive CSR activities (e.g., sustainability, education, healthcare) can generate positive media coverage and public goodwill.
2. Customer Expectations
Today’s consumers, especially younger generations, prefer to support companies that align with their values.
Many buyers are willing to pay a premium for ethically produced or eco-friendly products.
3. Employee Engagement and Retention
Employees take pride in working for a company that makes a positive impact.
CSR initiatives improve employee morale, motivation, and loyalty.
It also helps in attracting top talent who are increasingly looking for purpose-driven employers.
4. Risk Management
CSR helps companies identify and mitigate social, environmental, and regulatory risks.
Proactively addressing these issues can prevent legal or public relations crises.
5. Long-Term Profitability
While CSR may involve upfront costs, it can lead to long-term financial gains:
Lower operating costs (e.g., through energy efficiency)
Stronger customer loyalty
Improved stakeholder relationships
CSR is often aligned with sustainable business practices that ensure long-term survival.
6. Regulatory Compliance
In some countries (like India), CSR is a legal requirement for certain companies (e.g., those meeting specific turnover, net worth, or profit thresholds).
Complying with such laws avoids penalties and enhances government relations.
7. Creating Shared Value
CSR isn’t just charity; it’s about creating value for both society and the business.
For example, investing in local communities can lead to:
Better infrastructure
Skilled local labor
Healthier markets and supply chains
8. Global Sustainability Goals
Businesses play a critical role in achieving global goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
CSR helps companies align with global sustainability efforts, increasing credibility and partnerships.

Self-regulation in areas where the law is silent or outdated
6) Workplace or Human Capital Development-
These CSR activities focus on employees and workplace culture:
Providing health and wellness programs
Training and development opportunities

Since time immemorial Medicine has been regarded and hailed as the noblest of all professions.
While sporadic rise in incidents of medical negligence coupled with soaring healthcare costs and corporatization of the Healthcare Industry has indubitably dented the glorious image of the overall Healthcare Industry, there are Doctors who are still considered as “Divine Emissaries”.
Talk about such outstanding Doctors, and the first name that strikes the mind is that of Dr Sushanta Basu (MBBS, PG Certified on Health & Family Welfare Management, MBA (HCA) from FMS, Delhi) who has done humanity proud with his selfless service to mankind for the last four decades.
His biggest virtues are Integrity and a humongous experience of 41 long years of Health Administration.
Unlike those who flaunt a long celebrity list of patients, Dr Basu feels privileged that his patient directory comprises the “aam aadmi” of the city especially the ones from the EWS strata.
In his illustrious career, Dr Basu never went for any lucrative offers for working overseas, as he always nurtured the desire of serving his own Motherland. He feels extremely fortunate that he has lived his dream by devoting himself for his countrymen all these years.
This is precisely why he feels that his biggest reward as a Medico professional has been the blessings from his countless patients whom he has treated and cured all these years.
His motivation has been heeling the sick and the injured, and bringing a smile on the faces of those in need and pain.
In the forthcoming Delhi Medical Council Elections 2020 next month, 45 doctors are in the fray contesting for 8 coveted posts of the governing council of the State Medical Regulator. Dr Basu has filed his nomination for Member, Delhi Medical Council as he strongly believes that he can make a marked difference to the existing state of affairs. The fact that DMC which is primarily a council of medical practitioners, has no representation from MCD, is what inspired Dr Basu to throw his hat in the rang for the forthcoming DMC Elections slated to be held on Sunday, 8th March’2020 at IARI, Pusa. All those with a valid registration with DMC are eligible for voting in these elections.
Sharing more on the avenues where he would focus, Dr Sushanta Basu says, “If elected as a member of the prestigious DMC, my emphasis will be on ensuring safety measures for practicing and resident doctors at their work place keeping in mind the growing incidents of vandalism and violence against Doctors. Undertaking a steadfast drive to rid the system of Quackery will be my top priority. Added to this, we will leave no stone unturned in reviving the glorious image of the medico professionals by undertaking some robust measures, and spreading the awareness among medical practitioners for adhering to the mandatory code of ethics. As a team, we will continually strive to incorporate the valid views and suggestions of every Doctor in order to make DMC a real inclusive body, in reality. Last but not the least, we will deliver solutions to the core issues concerning the doctors, thereby ensuring their overall welfare. Our concrete actions will speak much louder than words and mere lip service. I have dedicated the last 41 years of my life towards serving the Humanity, and by deciding to contest the forthcoming DMC Elections, I wish to play a more larger and a proactive role in times to come.”
Ankit Arora- Entrepreneur & Geo- Political Analyst on National TV
By Bipin Sharma
Eminent National TV Political Analyst and Social Entrepreneur Ankit Arora added another feather to his cap when he was honoured with the prestigious “Talaash Entrepreneur of the Year Award” for year 2019. Though, he could not register his presence at the glittering event organized by Team Talaash at the Bikaner House, New Delhi, the award was later presented to him by event Conceptualizer Rajni Panwar and Fashion Designer Rosy Ahluwalia.
The theme of the event titled “India Integration with North East States” was organized in the heart of the city on December 5th, 2019. A brainchild of eminent Media Personality Rajni Panwar and Ace Fashion Designer Rosy Ahluwalia, the highlight of the glorious evening was the honouring of the unsung heroes from the North East States by Delhiites. The Chief Guest of the event was Robin Hibu, the former Nodal officer for the North East, and the present Special Commissioner of Police, Delhi Police.
An overwhelmed Ankit Arora expressed heartfelt gratitude to Rajni Panwar and the other key team members of Talaash for recognizing his contribution to the society.
In a brief chat, Ankit said, “Any award or a reward is a recognition of one’s hard work and passion, and I feel deeply humbled with the jury deciding to felicitate me with the coveted “Entrepreneur of the Year Award”. I would like to take this opportunity to laud the painstaking efforts of both Rajni Panwar and Rosy Ahluwalia for dedicating an evening especially for the cause of our brothers and sisters from the North East states. The time has come when we have to collectively brainstorm on exploring long lasting measures for addressing the myriad issues plaguing our North Eastern states. The initiatives undertaken by Helping Hands NGO as well as the newly constituted North East Chamber of Commerce have been praiseworthy and inspirational. The Theme of the event “India Integration with North East states’ speaks volumes for itself as it effectively conveys how the mission of “New India” cannot be achieved without getting the North Eastern states into the mainstream.
