The cash-strapped border state got a big boost in its fight against corona virus with D-Mart, and the Dhillon Group as a whole, collectively donating Rs 5.05 crore to Punjab Chief Minister Relief Fund to fight Covid-19.

A press release from the Chief Minister’s Office said the donation, coming just over a week after Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh set up the Covid-19 relief fund and appealed to people to donate generously, will give much needed resources to the state in tackling the unprecedented situation created by the Covid-19 outbreak. Punjab being a border state with limited resources, needs its people and corporates to step up in this difficult times in the larger interest of the state and its people, it added

A cheque of the amount was handed over to Capt Amarinder Singh, who, on behalf of the state government, thanked D-Mart and Kewal Singh Dhillon, Karan Dhillon and Kanwar Dhillon for their generous contribution. He also appealed to other fellow Punjabis to contribute large-heartedly to the fund and assist the state government in this hour of distress for the entire community.

On his part Kewal Dhillon felt that it is the duty of every responsible citizen to contribute to the state/country to fight this deadly virus, save lives and get the country back to normal. Karan and Kanwar Dhillon thanked all frontline soldiers – doctors, police personnel, administration staff and workers – who are working tirelessly to control the situation by risking their own lives, and emphasised the need for people to stay indoors.

Chandigarh-based CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology (Imtech), a national centre for excellence in microbial sciences, has been mandated as one of the government accredited labs to test corona virus (COVID-19) samples in an effort to ramp up testing facilities for the novel virus in the country.

An official press release said all the mandatory approvals required for testing of clinical samples have been obtained to operationalise necessary additional testing facilities at the institute. Initially the institute will have the capacity to test of 50 to 100 samples a day, which can subsequently be ramped up as and when required. 

The release said CSIR-Imtech has the necessary expertise in molecular microbiology and has further augmented its capabilities to carry out clinical testing for COVID-19. Its lab has the requisite infrastructure, including a Biosafety Level (BSL)-3 facilities, absolutely necessary to take all appropriate biosafety and bio-security precautions before testing. A newly constructed BSL-2+ virology lab equipped with Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) equipment has also been established, it added.

CSIR-Imtech is also supporting healthcare professionals by providing Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to prevent them from contracting any infection while serving patients. The institute is extending help to the local administration and Red Cross Unit of Chandigarh by providing the logistical and infrastructure support.

The move to operationalise Corona virus sample testing at Imtech comes in the wake of directives issued by the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Govt. of lndia, and advisory issued by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), to operationalise COVID-19 testing in all laboratories under Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and other labs affiliated to Department of Science & Technology, Department of Biotechnology and Department of Atomic Energy.

How About 5 Mins Of Daily Janata Prayers™ Now, For Forgiveness & Mercy

By
Sanjeev Kochhar
-
0

If prayers be a powerful medium of communicating with the unseen Creator of this universe, on the occasion of Ramnavami, when the entire country is immersed in reverence of Lord Rama, how about all of us devoting 5 minutes daily to ‘Janata Prayers’ now, to seek forgiveness of Mother Nature for our arrogant and callous behaviour, and mercy for ourselves from Her wrath, which is manifesting itself in epidemics/pandemics and other calamities.

Coronavirus, one of the biggest challenges faced by mankind in recent times, has proved a great leveller, sparing no one, from the man in the street, to the high and the mighty.

People who have amassed immense wealth, those who have attained great power and those who pride themselves in their unparalleled achievements and accomplishments, have, all of a sudden, realised how immaterial all these materialistic things are, and how utterly helpless and vulnerable they are despite all the resources at their command. The great fear of catching the super virus has forced them to take cover in the confines of their homes on an even footing with the common man.

Some of them have also gone public to admit this reality of life and resolved to be more compassionate towards fellow human beings. The milk of human kindness can also be seen in ample measure with the super rich and the powerful opening their hearts and loosening their purse strings in a show of solidarity with their lesser privileged brethren.

A heartening take away from these developments has been the increasing realisation among people that Mother Nature is paying us back with vengeance for plundering Her bountiful resources out of greed. Climate change, storms, floods, forest/bush fires, earthquakes, tsunamis to epidemics/pandemics, etc, are just manifestations of Nature’s wrath over the human race’s misconduct.

Man has been challenging the Creator (of this universe) at every step. Armed with the power of science and technology, man has come to believe that he can find solutions to every challenge thrown at him by the Supreme Being. Billions and billions are spent annually on worldwide research to counter these apparently self healing mechanisms of Nature. But man’s arrogance and stubbornness has steadfastly refused to accept this theology.

All this when a simple show of faith can do the trick – keep the Creator of this universe always in our thoughts, seek his forgiveness for our past follies and blessings to follow the righteous path.

We are a great civilisation, with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, enshrined in our ancient scriptures, to fall back on. We have to show the way to the world through the medium of faith.

While we perform ‘Janata Prayers’ for God’s forgiveness for our follies, and seek his blessings to spare mankind from the scourge of Coronavirus, let us also pray for peace and harmony in the world.

Amen!

For Peace & Serenity, Dance Away Your Blues

By
Sanjeev Kochhar

When most of us are struggling to make peace with life locked up by the coronavirus pandemic scare, a family of classical dancers is finding itself perfectly in harmony with the new normal. For freelance classical dance instructor Rahul Gupta (31), his wife Nandini and 9-year-old son Bharat, life is as wonderful and enjoyable as it ever was. Yoga and some meditation in the morning, bharatnatyam practice in the evening, for them life is a breeze.

While exhorting others to follow, and feel the difference, Rahul, who also runs the Kalalyam Dance Institute, which regularly holds evening classes at The Gurukul, Sector 20, Panchkula, says “yoga is an integral part of Indian classical dance forms. Every dance practice session or performance starts with pranayam, surya namaskar and other stretching yoga routines to warm up the body and make it supple and flexible, an absolute necessity for a satisfying outcome of any classical dance routine.”

Dwelling on the spiritual aspects of bharatnatyam, he says it is a form of sadhana (meditation). Besides giving the practitioner peace and tranquility, this dance form, like many other Indian classical forms, replaces restlessness with calm and composure, and inculcates the true spirit of humility and restraint. “The energy, which the classical dance-yoga activity generates, is unmatched,” he adds. 

Rahul asserts that his journey as a classical dance instructor in India and abroad (he has lived in Qatar, Bahrain and Australia also) has been replete with instances of rich, spoilt and arrogant children transforming into simple and humble human being after their tryst with classical dance. He has also seen ladies traumatised by separation from husbands, or brutal domestic violence, finding a new purpose in life by immersing themselves into classical dance.

The classical dance instructor wants people, confined to the four walls of their homes, to wash away their blues. “Give yourself a chance to convert your fears and perceived sense of punishment into opportunities for finding peace, calm, relaxation and inner bliss. Yoga, meditation and meaningful dance forms, especially Indian classical, are a perfect recipe towards that end,” he emphasises.

Lets Find Happiness Within, Small-Small Things Matter A Lot

By
Sanjeev Kochhar

0

Just a few weeks back, had someone asked you, what if you get 3 weeks to work from the comfort of your home in the company of your family, wouldn’t you have laughed it off as a joke! But now that the improbable but welcome thought has become a reality, thanks to the Coronavirus infection being declared a pandemic, leading to a nationwide lockdown, are you having a whale of a time in the company of your family?

Going by what we hear in our social circles, most are not being able to utilise this free time with family to enhance their happiness quotient, but instead brooding and excessively worrying over what’s going to happen!

Endocrinologist Dr Sachin Mittal, University College of London fellow (2014)

In such a scenario, mental illnesses like anxiety and depression are sure to coming knocking at our doorstep. Forced lockdown, social distancing, and uncertainty over availability of daily essentials and finances, apart from the fear of getting infected, are driving us crazy. Add to this a steady dose of fake News, viral videos and fear-mongering, and find ourselves literally on the edge.

However, this may just be the right time to look within, examine what happiness means to us, and how finding that is the real purpose of life.

Let’s share some ideas on how to make the best use of this time –

Me-time – Life is so rushed-up in the 21st-century that most of us wish to have a day with no big to-do list. We always wish for a 20 to 30 minutes of peace and a ‘Me-Time’ – the time where we can follow any of our interests or anything which we love to do like painting, drawing or listening to music etc. May be now that peaceful “Me-Time” we have been seeking is no more elusive, let’s start doing these things which we always wanted when we were busy. Devote some time to doing breathing exercises or meditation. And once we start experiencing that serenity, it will not only make us happier and less anxious but also increase our productivity. Believe me, we will be able to prioritize and schedule those 20 minutes even after the Coronavirus battle is won.

Digital Detox – Offline is the new luxury – Believe it or not, the smart phone or the gadgets meant to ease our life have brought some more troubles also. Constant notifications/inflow of messages, steals our focus. It’s almost a reflex that people have to look at their mobile phone screens every now and then, so much so when our mobiles are out of battery even for a short while, we feel restlessness and frustrated and have an urge to go online again. But the dichotomy is many of us wish to plan a vacation with no network connectivity. But at the same time, we find it difficult to switch off the cell phone on our own. So why not try to minimize our screen indulgence and do this digital detox. Sometimes you just have to unplug from everything to find the real you.

Bring Back The Books – Ernest Hemingway said “There is no friend as loyal as a book”. Now is the best time to read all those books which we always wanted to but never got the time. “I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a book” – How true are these words of famous author J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter series. So, let’s pick a great book of our choice to give a chance for that magic to happen.

Family Time – As the famous saying goes “The best thing you can spend on your kids is time”. It’s your time to catch up whatever you have been missing in the daily rush. Sit with your kids and hear out their stories. Know more about their friends and their emotions. Share your own feelings, both anxieties as well as aspirations. Let this time be your family bonding time.

Gardening & Household Work – Roman Statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote many centuries ago “If you have a Garden and a Library, you have everything you need”. Spending some time in the garden may be one of the most refreshing things. Apart from that, actively participating in household chores would be great. In the absence of domestic helps, the lady of the house would appreciate that a lot. This is the time to share the responsibilities. This would help in keeping the household situation warm and friendly as well.

Bring On Yesteryears’ Fun – It’s time to revisit your childhood, bring family games like Carrom, Chess, Ludo and Monopoly back in your living rooms. A friendly game of cards or a game of Uno with your loved ones will surely leave you with everlasting memories to cherish.

Health Is Wealth – In these times, we need to invest in our mental as well as physical health. A healthy person is able to enjoy life to its fullest, simply because the body and mind are in harmony! The easiest way to do that is to eat a nourishing diet, take up some physical activity or yoga and spend a few minutes every day in meditation. This would surely give us more happiness than any other material thing.

The best way out is within us … so make sure to live the rest of the 21-day break to your heart’s fill.

Teenager Gets Masks Made & Distributed Among Slum Dwellers Along With Other Essentials

With the entire country locked in a grim battle to contain the Coronavirus pandemic, and essential supplies, including protective gear, running short, it’s heartening to see various sections of the society coming forward to supplement the government’s efforts. If that initiative comes from an enlightened and public-spirited school student it becomes all the more appreciable.

A Class XII student of Vivek High School Chandigarh, Kaustav Kochhar has shown the way to the community that if you have the spirit, and the will, you will invariably find a way to contribute that little bit extra to make a significant impact.

The 16-year-old, who has been keenly following the developments relating to the spread of Coronavirus infection, had noticed that like in all other crisis situations, it is the underprivileged sections of the society which were the hardest hit by the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown/curfew.

Kaustav resolved to do something to mitigate the suffering of these ill-prepared and vulnerable sections. He found that a face mask, the first line of defence against catching coronavirus, was in short supply and out of their reach. So he immediately did some online research and came out with a perfect solution for a home-made mask, which is washable and reusable.

Having collected a breathable cotton fabric from the market, he caught hold of a tailor to custom-prepare masks as per WHO guidelines for home-made face masks. He has so far got distributed 250 face masks, 150 soaps, 25 sanitiser bottles, 50 kg rice, 50 kg pulses and 500 packets of biscuits among slum dwellers in the city through the Samarpan Foundation.

Says Kaustav, “I was concerned that this current trend of rapid spread of the virus is going to most adversely impact the underprivileged sections, which, under normal circumstances too, can barely make ends meet. If they get infected, the situation will worsen for their families. Hence the thought of making masks best suited to their needs,” he adds.

Kaustav’s plans do not end at that. He is determined to continue with his efforts and help out the underprivileged sections in these extremely trying times.

Now Even A Layman Will Be Able To Get A Hang Of Real Estate Laws

By
Sanjeev Kochhar

Here comes a book on Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera) which claims to demystify real estate laws from the point of view of all stake-holders – real estate buyers, sellers and brokers/consultants.

Authored by Jagdish Singh Khushdil, a legal luminary for over three decades and currently Member, Rera Punjab, the book, My Experiments With Rera, also incorporates relevant provisions of associated acts like Consumer Act, local laws like Punjab Apartment & Property Regulations Act (Papra) and Town & Country Act for ease of comprehensive understanding of issues without having to refer to other books.  

Photo By : Life In Chandigarh

The book was unveiled in Chandigarh recently at an event organised by Punjab chapter of Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (Credai). Besides the author, among others present were Credai Punjab office bearers Jagjit Singh Majha (President), Harish Gupta (Vice President), Arun Jindal (General Secretary), Umang Jindal (Joint Secretary) and Tarninder Singh, President, New Chandigarh, Credai.

The book is available for sale in paper-back at Shriram Law House, Sec 17 Chandigarh and can also be ordered online on Amazon.

Speaking at the book launch, Khushdil, a former District & Sessions Judge, Adjudicating Officer, Rera and also President, District Consumer Forum, said, “I believe that large sections of people are still grossly unaware of the implications of a new era ushered in by Rera. My attempt in the book has been to simplify details about Rera, and various laws associated with real estate sector, so that these are easy to comprehend even by a layman.

“I am sure that by going through the book, any aggrieved or interested person can find answers to all questions and doubts which come to mind. Since Rera is a central Act, all states have adopted it and created their own authorities with minor variations here and there. So, this book will be of help to people across the country, and not just in Punjab,” the Member, Rera Punjab, added.

When the tu came for the Credai Punjab office bearers to get some of their concerns addressed, the obvious first question, coming from President Majha, was ‘how does Rera restrain the police from making unjustifiable intervention in matters related to real estate.”

In his reply, Khushdil was clear that all issues concerning buyers, sellers and brokers are covered under the jurisdiction of Rera, and that the police have no power to take cognizance of offences in the real estate sector. In fact, Rera also has jurisdiction of civil courts in matters related to real estate. Even a judicial magistrate can take up a real estate matter only on receiving a complaint from Rera, he explained.

Credai Punjab Vice President Gupta raised many other issues like buyers not paying maintenance charges despite getting possession, not getting the agreement to sell registered by paying stamp duty, and defaulting on paying instalments, etc to which Khushdil replied that in all such cases, where a consumer indulges in unfair and illegal practice, promoters can approach Rera for redressal.

Giving an example from his personal experience, Gupta also raised the issue of Consumer courts superseding Rera in matters concerning the real estate sector. But Majha intervened to assert that there have been a lot of positive outcomes in the 3 years of Rera’s existence in Punjab. 800 developers as well as 9000 consultants have registered with Rera in Punjab. Things take time to stabilise, he emphasised and informed that in the coming times it is expected that Rera will be the sole authority adjudicating on real estate issues.

Khushdil appealed to all buyers and real estate developers to honestly state the selling price in all agreements to sell. It is in the interest of buyers also since in an eventuality of refund they will be entitled to get back only the understated amount. Promoters can approach Rera in case buyers insist on understating the sale price to save on payable stamp duty, he added

 Giving an overview of the real estate sector, Majha said, “The real estate industry provides employment to over 40 million people and work to 269 different industries. What’s more, real estate accounts for 8 per cent of the country’s GDP which is slated to touch 13 per cent by 2025, as per latest report of the National Productivity Council. Rera is a boon for this industry as it will set the bar for quality and even make the industry completely organized.”

Majha informed the media that Credai Punjab has also created its own Grievances Redressal Forum where aggrieved consumers can file complaints against any of its members. The idea is that for minor issues, consumers need not rush to Rera, he claimed.

He said Credai Punjab has requested the state government to provide it land for construction of a Credai Bhawan, where it proposes to start a skill development centre for construction workers as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, besides showcasing various projects and holding seminars, etc.

He is a multi-tasker and is omnipresent. You just can’t miss him in any circle, whether sports, administration, literature, business. You name it and he is there! The bureaucrat turned writer-columnist and motivational speaker, Vivek Atray, just released his third book Finding Success Within – 52 Life Skills for Young Indians. An amalgamation of 52 career and life skills, the book promises to change your life and steer you towards success and happiness.

To do the honours on Sunday evening at the packed basement hall of CII Northern Region headquarters were former Army chief Gen VP Malik (retd) and Advisor to the UT Administrator Manoj Parida.

The book, running into 211 pages, which makes an effort to guide the youth in improving their career prospects and enhance the quality of life, is published by Invincible Publishers and Marketeers and is available for purchase online.

Among the career skills Vivek Atray has dwelled upon are remaining enthusiastic forever, choosing a career you love, knowing what really matters, communicating effectively, being a team player, being organised, maintaining inter-personal relations, handling difficult bosses, adapting to changing times and having a winning habit.

The life skills include positivity in blood, being fearless, time management, managing personal finances, emotional intelligence, building leadership qualities, social and conversation skills, choosing life partner with care, integrity and values and seeing the bigger picture.

In his foreword to the book, Shiv Khera, a renowned author, educator, business consultant and much sought-after speaker, has said, in this effort Vivek Atray takes a look at some of the recipes of success. He has covered entrepreneurship and The Winning Habit in a manner that readers would feel motivated to adopt his ideas.

“I have always believed that in life, true champions never give up. True leaders do not have any regrets, since they have always given their best to everything they do!

“I am certain this book will spread his message of positivity, calmness and balance, which are the real ingredients for success and happiness,” Khera has observed.  

Providing a sneak-peak into the book, author Vivek Atray shared, “The true meaning of success is lost somewhere in the quagmire of expectations and desires that all human beings experience regularly, especially in the current times. Success cannot be measured by materialistic parameters but by a true sense of inner peace and joy.

“The young people of India need to be assured by the parents and teachers that life is not about the ‘marks’ but about ‘making a mark’ in the long run!” he added.
