Van Mahotsav Week Celebrated with Enthusiasm at Gian Jyoti Global School
Mohali, July 09, 2026:-Van Mahotsav Week was celebrated with great pomp and enthusiasm at Gian Jyoti Global School, Phase 2. A massive plantation drive was organized on the school campus, where students from all classes enthusiastically participated. This initiative reflects the institution's deep commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
To make the campaign more engaging, the school introduced several unique activities. Students not only planted various types of traditional and medicinal saplings across the campus but also pledged to nurture them as responsible guardians of nature.
Key Highlight: The standout feature of this drive was the QR coding of every single plant. Along with their biological names, the plants were tagged with unique QR codes, transforming the entire garden into a "Living Learning Space." Using technology, students can now easily scan the codes to learn about the species and ecological importance of each plant.
Alongside the plantation drive, a "Best Out of Waste" competition was organized, where students repurposed discarded household plastic boxes and bottles into beautiful planters. To further boost environmental awareness, the children staged a street play (Nukkad Natak) and organized a 'Green Walk' (awareness rally) around the campus holding vibrant eco-friendly slogans.
Appreciating the students' dedication, School Principal Gian Jyot said that Every sapling planted today is a promise for tomorrow. When children nurture a plant, it instills in them a sense of responsibility, respect for nature, and a lifelong commitment to environmental preservation. The event concluded with the faculty and students taking a collective pledge to keep the Earth green and protect the environment for future generations.

Skoda-Born in Pune. Celebrated in Prague: The Škoda Kylaq completes an extraordinary cross-continental drive
By 121 News
Chandigarh, July 09, 2026:- Škoda Auto India has completed one of the longest overland drives ever undertaken by a Made-in-India passenger vehicle, with the Kylaq travelling 19,351 km from Pune to Prague over 70 days. Beginning at the Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Pvt. Ltd. manufacturing facility in Pune, the journey concluded in Prague, symbolically connecting the birth country of Škoda Auto India's newest SUV with the home country of the global brand.
Commenting on the expedition, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said that the Pune to Prague expedition is much more than the completion of an extraordinary journey. It is a powerful demonstration of what Indian engineering and manufacturing can achieve on the global stage. What began as a symbolic journey connecting our manufacturing facility in India to the home of the brand in the Czech Republic, evolved into a celebration of progress, purpose and shared heritage. Across 19,351 kilometres, 13 countries and countless driving conditions, the India-made Kylaq proved that engineering excellence is best demonstrated through real-world experience. This expedition not only reinforced India's growing role in shaping Škoda Auto's global future but also reflects the confidence we have in building world-class products here in India.
The Grand P2P Tour
Every great journey begins long before the road disappears over the horizon. For the Kylaq, it began at the Škoda Auto Volkswagen India manufacturing facility in Pune, before tracing a route through the very heart of India. From Pune to Mumbai, Vadodara, Udaipur, Jaipur, Agra and Lucknow, the SUV covered the breadth of the country before reaching the Nepal border near Gorakhpur.
Beyond India, the landscape transformed with every passing border. Winding mountain roads gave way to sweeping high-altitude plateaus, vast open highways and centuries-old trade routes as the Kylaq continued through Nepal, over the Tibetan Plateau in China, meeting the ancient Silk Road in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, before arriving in Georgia and crossing into Türkiye, where Asia meets Europe. From there, it pressed on through Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia, finally arriving in Prague, completing a drive that had spanned two continents and 13 countries over 70 days - aligning perfectly with Škoda Auto’s ethos of ‘Let’s Explore’.
In the process, the Made-in-India SUV climbed to altitudes of -154 metres to 5,364 metres above sea level, endured temperatures ranging from -12°C to 43°C and encountered an extraordinary diversity of roads, climates, cultures and languages. It was a journey that demanded consistency as much as capability, with every kilometre serving as a demonstration of the Kylaq's engineering, durability and everyday dependability under vastly different driving conditions.
The Kylaq
The Kylaq is Škoda Auto's first sub-four-metre SUV developed specifically for India and is based on the locally engineered MQB-A0-IN platform, created through close collaboration between teams in India and the Czech Republic. Powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine producing 85 kW (114 PS) and 178 Nm of torque, it is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic torque converter. The automatic variant completed the entire India-to-Europe drive.
The Kylaq has also earned recognition in the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records as part of the 'Fastest Multi-Car Relay of a Single Manufacturer on a Circuit'. Alongside the Kushaq, Slavia, Octavia RS and Kodiaq, the Kylaq helped Škoda Auto India record a combined relay time of 12:30.97, making it the country's fastest manufacturer fleet in the category.
