Image
Veteran actor Prakash Raj has come out strongly against the ban on  Abir Gulaal , a romantic drama featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor. In a candid interview with  The Lallantop , Raj emphasized that no film—regardless of its political leaning or message—should be banned unless it contains illegal content such as pornography or child abuse. “I don’t support the banning of any film, whether it’s right-wing or propaganda. It’s the audience’s right to decide. Let the people choose what they want to watch,” he said. Citing examples like  Padmaavat  (2018),  Pathaan  (2023), and  L2: Empuraan , Raj highlighted how easily public outrage is sparked today, often leading to threats and intimidation. Referring to the controversy around Deepika Padukone’s costume in  Pathaan  and threats made during the release of  Padmaavat , he remarked, “People threaten to behead or harm actors over creative choices—what kind of message does that send?” Raj cr...

Variety of folk drama in the finale of 'All Play...A Carnival of Joy'

 


Mumbai, 7th March 2022 : The grand finale of 'All Play ... A Carnival of Joy' with an aim to present an ancient art of drama and theatrical art for tribal and rural children concluded in Manori. 

On this occasion the chief guest Sunil Rane, MLA Borivali, Mrs. Varsha Rane, trustee , Atharva Foundation,  actor Pradeep Kabre , comedian  Arun Kadam and Johnny Rawat ,  Shivanand Shetty were present. Led by Mrs. Varsha Rane, Trustee, Atharva Foundation, the event is an attempt to bring joy and empowerment to the lives of the local citizens in and around Manori.                                                                                                                                

For the last two years, this program started by the Atharva Foundation on 3rd September 2021 with this little girl named 'Ratna' resident of Manori. Educational materials were distributed to rural and tribal children in Gorai and Manori on the occasion of the birthday of Mr. Sunil Rane and on this day an idea was born for drama and theater workshops for children,

Mrs. Varsha Rane noticed that some of these children do not go to school and simply distributing notebooks and clothes and other gifts was not enough. This little girl Ratna sat on his lap and this magical journey began. In the first season of All Play, we trained 150 children from five different regions of Gorai and Manori in the fundamentals of theater.

'All Play... A Carnival Joy' in Manori, Malad West is an initiative of Atharva Foundation and All Play Productions to enrich the lives of rural and tribal children through drama and theater training. Last year, on the day of the Grand Finale, about 150 children were trained and given stage performances and this year around 100 children are taking training.

Speaking on the occasion Varsha Rane, Trustee, Atharva Foundation said that it proved to be an important platform for the local people of Manori adjoining Mumbai to showcase their talent with great enthusiasm in this carnival of nearby children. He was successful in proving that no one had forgotten him.

Hindustan Zinc - Engineering a Better Future

  - Breaking New Grounds - Leading the path for women in underground mining - Partners in Nation building - Hindustan Zinc’s engineers ensure 3S (Smart, Safe & Sustainable) in operations It is World Engineer’s day on 15 September, and it is a good time to reflect on the importance of the engineer in our daily lives. We would not have the comforts that we take for granted like a shelter from the elements, clean running water, or even the ability to read this article, without the effort of engineers. Hindustan Zinc is especially aware of the need it has for engineers – without engineers and their effort, the materials that Hindustan Zinc extracts from its mines would not be as easily extracted and refined from its deposits. Hindustan Zinc also has a list of unique problems that need the finest engineering minds to find creative solutions – for example, as part of its target to achieve carbon neutrality, it plans to use battery electric vehicles as part of its mining operations.
