Amway India Observes International Yoga Day: Fostering Healthy Habits for a Better Tomorrow
Speaking on the occasion, Gursharan Cheema, Sr. Vice President, North & South, Amway India stated that as an advocate for holistic health and wellbeing, we applaud the Government of India's efforts to promote yoga globally with an emphasis on overall wellbeing. The interconnectedness between yoga and diet, especially the first meal of the day, is evident from a [1]study on yoga practitioners in India. The study found that 65% incorporated specific foods or beverages into their diet after starting yoga. Moreover, 72.4% mentioned that yoga influenced the timing of their first meal, with 63% starting to eat earlier. Therefore, we believe that by aligning yoga practices and nutritional intake with our body's biological clock, we can optimize our health and vitality. At Amway, we champion this approach through our philosophy of Exercise, Positive Attitude, Rest, and Nutrition, advocating for a disciplined approach to the first meal and exercise such as yoga, complemented by need-based supplementation to address nutritional gaps and enhance overall health and well-being. All of this aligns with our goal to transform lives by adopting healthy habits, helping to extend health span, and fostering a healthier tomorrow.
In the North region, a series of vibrant physical and virtual events were orchestrated.

Additionally, digital Saptyoga and Fitness challenges were organized to engage and inspire participants

I Learns a Lot in IPL, I Am Trying to Give the Same to the Youngsters: Ramandeep Singh
Ramandeep said that IPL gave him confidence and he has also learned a lot with the senior players there. This is useful in his career and he is sharing this experience with the young players of Trident. As a vice-captain, he motivate them and tell them how to deal with different situations. He told them how to play under pressure and how to get out of it. He is available to answer all their questions. We openly talk about technique, shots, planning etc. so that there is no mental pressure on them.
Regarding the 5 sixes hit in the last over, Ramandeep said that his planning was to play the last over himself and score as many runs as possible for the team. Due to rain, we got only one over to bat and he had to give his best in it. He hits 5 sixes and gave the team the score due to which we could face the strikers. He said that he only bat according to the team's need. It does not matter whether he is playing as a finisher or in the middle order or top order. It only matters what is the situation of the team and how he has to play.
Ramandeep is the best in all three - batting, bowling and fielding. He said that he does not give importance to any one thing, because he loves this game. He want to do well in all three things, so that his team wins. He does not prepare for any one thing before the match, he just have a routine. He prepare himself with mobility and stability in the gym before the match. After this, he goes to the field and do a good warm-up and prepare myself for the match with the team. This is his routine before the match. Regarding bonding with Prabhsimran, Ramandeep said that he has a younger brother like relationship with him. There is a good balance between us and we maintain it. If he tells him something during the match, he listens and when he tells him something, he does it. This relationship creates a good team bond and our focus is to help the youngsters as much as possible. This kind of balance between both seniors and youngsters is taking our team forward.

सतगुरु माता सुदीक्षा जी महाराज ने भी अपने विचारों में 'स्वस्थ मन सहज जीवन' अपनाने का दिव्य मार्गदर्शन देते हुए यही समझाया कि हमें अपने शरीर को निरंकार प्रभु की अमोलक देन समझते हुए उसे स्वस्थ एवं सेहतमंद बनाए रखना है। अतः ऐसे स्वास्थ्यवर्धक कार्यक्रमों का उद्देश्य यही है कि हमें भागदौड़ वाली जिदंगी में अपनी सेहत पर और ध्यान देते हुए उसे बेहतर एवं उत्तम बनाते हुए अच्छा जीवन जीना है।

पंजाब के जल संकट पर कार्रवाई के लिए मिसल सतलुज का तत्काल आह्वान
मिसल सतलुज के अध्यक्ष अजयपाल सिंह बराड़ ने चंडीगढ़ प्रेस क्लब में मीडिया को संबोधित करते हुए कहा कि पंजाब में पानी का संकट बहुत गहरा गया है। बोरवेल सूख गए हैं, जिससे कुछ गांव टैंकरों पर निर्भर हो गए हैं। राज्य की पानी की मांग 50 मिलियन एकड़ फीट (एमएफपी) से ज़्यादा है, लेकिन पंजाब से सिर्फ़ 28.5 एमएफपी नदी का पानी ही बहता है। इस पानी का एक बड़ा हिस्सा राजस्थान और हरियाणा को आवंटित किया जाता है, जो दोनों ही गैर-नदी तटीय राज्य हैं।
बराड़ ने राज्य में जल संकट के मुख्य कारणों पर विस्तार से बताया कि तेजी से हो रहे औद्योगिकीकरण के कारण पानी की मांग में वृद्धि हुई है। पंजाब के तेजी से हो रहे शहरीकरण के कारण शहरी क्षेत्रों में वाणिज्यिक और आवासीय जरूरतों के लिए नदी के पानी की आवश्यकता है। वर्तमान में मांग को गहरे जलभृतों से बोरवेल के माध्यम से पूरा किया जा रहा है, जिसमें कैंसरकारी तत्व हो सकते हैं और 22 लाख सबमर्सिबल पंप हैं।
पुराने जल आवंटन: वर्तमान कृषि जल आवंटन हरित क्रांति से पहले के पुराने स्तरों पर आधारित है, जो मालवा के लिए केवल 3.05 क्यूसेक और दोआबा के लिए 1.9 क्यूसेक पानी उपलब्ध कराता है। ये मात्राएँ अपर्याप्त हैं और नहर नेटवर्क की जीर्ण-शीर्ण स्थिति के कारण और भी कम हो जाती हैं।
गंभीर प्रदूषण: लुधियाना की रंगाई और इलेक्ट्रोप्लेटिंग इकाइयों से निकलने वाला औद्योगिक कचरा बुड्डा नाला के माध्यम से सतलुज नदी को प्रदूषित कर रहा है। इस कचरे को अक्सर अनुपचारित फेंक दिया जाता है या रिवर्स बोरिंग के माध्यम से वापस पंप कर दिया जाता है। इसी तरह के प्रदूषण के मुद्दे टौंसा, रेल माजरा, मोहाली जिले और पंजाब के अन्य क्षेत्रों को प्रभावित करते हैं।
इस अवसर पर मूनस्टार कौर ने राज्य में जल प्रदूषण के बारे में भी बात की।
मिस्ल सतलुज की मांगें:
मिस्ल सतलुज के एक अन्य वरिष्ठ नेता देविंदर सिंह सेखों ने मिस्ल सतलुज की मांगों पर जोर दिया। उन्होंने वर्तमान जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए कृषि जल भत्ते को 7 क्यूसेक तक पुनर्गठित करके जल आवंटन को अपडेट करने की आवश्यकता पर जोर दिया। सेखों ने कहा कि नदी के पानी का उपयोग शहरी क्षेत्रों में पीने के पानी की आपूर्ति के लिए किया जाना चाहिए तथा पर्याप्त जल वितरण सुनिश्चित करने के लिए नहर के बुनियादी ढांचे की तत्काल मरम्मत और रखरखाव की आवश्यकता है।
उन्होंने कहा कि मिस्ल सतलुज जल और वायु प्रदूषण के खिलाफ मजबूती से खड़ी है। उन्होंने कहा, "हम सरकार से बुड्डा नाला जैसे प्रमुख प्रदूषण स्रोतों को दूर करने के लिए तत्काल कार्रवाई की मांग करते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि हम पंजाब विधानसभा से आग्रह करते हैं कि वह एक प्रस्ताव पारित करके पंजाब को राज्य से होकर बहने वाली सभी नदियों के पानी का एकमात्र मालिक घोषित करे। इस प्रस्ताव से अन्य राज्यों के साथ पिछले सभी जल-साझाकरण समझौते रद्द हो जाने चाहिए।
सेखों ने कहा कि मिस्ल सतलुज सरकार को इन मांगों को हल करने के लिए तीन महीने का नोटिस पीरियड दे रही है। अगर ये मांगें पूरी नहीं होती हैं तो मिस्ल सतलुज आवश्यक कार्रवाई के लिए दबाव बनाने के लिए आंदोलन शुरू करेगी।
उन्होंने कहा कि मिस्ल सतलुज पंजाब के लोगों की कृषि, वाणिज्यिक और आवासीय जरूरतों के लिए प्रदूषण रहित नदी के पानी की आपूर्ति सुनिश्चित करने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध है। हमारी पार्टी इन महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दों को तुरंत और प्रभावी ढंग से हल करने का लक्ष्य रखती है। हम पंजाब के महत्वपूर्ण जल संसाधनों की रक्षा में किसी भी तरह की देरी बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे।

Guru comes to earth for the welfare of his devotees: Shri Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj
Pujya Gurudev inspired the people present to do everything possible for their nation, religion and culture and said that this is a very pleasant experience. Service is the biggest penance for building one's destiny. He inspired to do every task with devotion under the guidance of the Guru to brighten one's destiny. He gave detailed information about how the grace of Adinath Lord Shiva showers on the devotees. The grace of true happiness is received only from Lord Shiva.
The nation's renowned spiritual saint and founder president of the international organization Vishwa Jagriti Mission, Param Sadgurudev Shri Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj said that Sadguru incarnates on this earth for the welfare of devotees. One who has recognized his Guru, change is sure to happen in his life. He also said that on the day of Guru Purnima, the disciple becomes eligible for welfare just by seeing his Guru and by getting the blessings of the Guru.
The program concluded with Guru Aarti. Program coordinator Manoj Shastri expressed his gratitude to all the devotees who contributed to make today's program successful and asked them to play a role like a squirrel in the Guru's work. The program was conducted by Acharya Anil Jha ji.

Škoda Auto India Announces New Value Proposition on Kushaq and Slavia
By 121 News
Chandigarh, June 18, 2024:- Škoda Auto India, in continuation to its initiatives of making the brand more accessible, announced the Kushaq and Slavia with higher value, enabling enhanced accessibility to its line-up of cars that are 5-star rated and fully safe for both adults and children.
Speaking on the enhancement, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said that we have been in India for nearly a quarter of a century, and our commitment to this market is absolute. We have always been looking at offering more in product and affiliated actions. Since the announcement of our all-new compact SUV planned for 2025, we have maintained that with this new car, we are targeting new markets, younger customers and more accessibility to the brand. While the new compact SUV will open new markets for us, we have achieved some efficiencies in the Kushaq and the Slavia, which has enabled us to enhance the value in our offerings and pass on the benefits to our customers and fans.
The variants
The Kushaq and Slavia – earlier available as Active, Ambition and Style – are now rechristened as Classic, Signature and Prestige. The Kushaq, in addition to these three variants also gets the Onyx on the value end and the Monte Carlo at the premium end of the line-up. The all-new pricing is applicable on all engine and transmission options of the Kushaq and select variants on the Slavia. Both cars are powered by a 1.0 TSI petrol with a six-speed manual and automatic, and a 1.5 TSI petrol with a six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG. Both the Kushaq and Slavia come with six airbags as standard across the range, and have achieved a full 5-stars for adults and children under the Global NCAP tests, reflecting the brand's uncompromising stand on safety.
The benefits
Customers stand to benefit by upto 10% based on choice of model, variants, engines and transmission. The maximum benefit will be on the Kushaq Monte Carlo, which will now be offered at an outstanding price point, while the Slavia entry point will be extremely accessible. These new prices also enables customers and fans to avail additional reductions in registration and insurance further stretching the value proposition for the entire line-up.
Škoda Auto India recently introduced six airbags as standard across all its variants. The new pricing continues making safety as top priority, and offers premium features like ventilated seats, electric seat adjust, wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay, a 25.4 cm in-car entertainment interface and a sub-woofer embedded in the boot among other comforts.
Customized and Tailor-made offers
The new value proposition on Kushaq and Slavia will be offered with complete freedom for customers to select what best suits their preferences. This can be clubbed across three large pillars. The first is the unmatched price leverage that customers can enjoy. The second, will be in the form of after-sales offers, maintenance packages and the overall cost of ownership. And thirdly, are the sales levers and value-added services.
Customers can select from a choice of exchange & corporate bonus options, special finance & insurance schemes run through the banking partners, extended warranty and a host of service and maintenance packages. In the overall cost of ownership and customer experience, the superior mileage offered on both Kushaq (*upto 19.76 Km/L) and Slavia (**upto 20.32 Km/L), along with transparency, quicker servicing timelines, and the expanding dealer footprint have taken forward Škoda Auto India's strong focus on customer delight.
He added that Škoda Auto India is ramping up the network and personnel to get ready for high volume increase with the upcoming launch of the Compact SUV. Our dealers need to be motivated and profitable, with highly trained and experienced sales consultants. And that's why we have launched the best-ever value proposition on the Kushaq, all across the country, supported with tailor-made, unique customer offers in line with customers' needs and preferences.
More sustainable
The company's 1.0 TSI engine recently got certified as E20 compliant by ARAI (Automotive Research Authority of India) and has already debuted in the new Kushaq Onyx AT with other 1.0 TSI cars to roll out soon. The 1.5 TSI is currently undergoing testing, the results of which will be made available by Q4 2024.
This certification makes the 1.0 TSI the first ever powerplant in India to receive certification from a governing authority. It is in line with government policy requiring every car in India to be E20 complaint from April 1, 2025. Engines that are E20 compliant run on 20% ethanol and 80% petrol, reducing the amount of fossil fuel consumed, reducing emissions and increasing sustainability.
The Škoda Peace of Mind
Škoda Auto India has a fleet that is fully 5-star safe for both adults and children as tested by Global NCAP and Euro NCAP. The company also offers a 4-year/100,000kms standard warranty on Kushaq and Slavia, with an option to extend it to 6-years/150,000kms making it one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the company's endeavour to offer a hassle-free ownership and maintenance experience. The all-new pricing continues access to these customer-friendly packages.
