ICICI Lombard Launches #RestartRight Campaign

By 121 News

Chandigarh, July 02, 2020: COVID-19 has impacted lives and businesses across the globe. The human society stands at the crossroads of a 'New Normal', something that will alter our future completely. Social distancing and curtailed movement have become the norm. Further, in this changing scenario, health protection through a comprehensive health insurance plan gains paramount importance.

Staying ahead of the curve, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, India's leading private sector non-life insurance company, has revamped its health insurance portfolio and introduced new age solutions. Further, to create awareness of the same among consumers, it has launched a unique #RestartRight campaign in mass media, focusing on digital channels and targeting new age platforms like OTT (Over The Top) video streaming.

The campaign launched by ICICI Lombard is two-fold. The first phase of the campaign involves a brand led communication which exemplifies the current situation where consumers are hesitant given the pandemic but are trying their best to work through the constraints. Depicting various 'slice of life' situations, it shows a lady inviting her friend home after a long time, but first makes sure she sanitizes her hands before entering. In another instance, a mother returning home from work stops her daughter from coming close to her, but then hugs her after she has taken a shower. In this way, the communication persuades people to 'Restart' life, but in the 'Right' way. At the same time, it communicates its own adoption to the 'new normal' and upgrading of its health insurance solutions that align to the new normal.

The main communication will be followed by specific benefit driven creatives which bring out the individual offerings that form part of the brand's health insurance 'new age' solutions. These include benefits such as tele-consulting a doctor 24x7, online medicines order & delivery and insurance for treatment availed at home. The benefit driven videos again showcase constraints faced by consumers due to the lockdown and how the revamped offerings remove the said hurdle. For instance, if a consumer is hesitating to visit a doctor, ICICI Lombard's tele-consult facility enables her to seek expert medical advice on the phone itself including obtaining an e-prescription that can be ordered online. 

On the announcement of the campaign, Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard General Insurance stated that amid the lockdown relaxations, consumers are wanting to restart life but hesitating to do so, amid the heightened health concern. At ICICI Lombard, we understand this 'new normal' situation and have accordingly reoriented ourselves by introducing relevant solutions for our customers. Our new campaign that showcases new age benefits reassures customers that by following safety protocols and equipping themselves with our health insurance solutions, they can go ahead and #RestartRight."

Speaking on the launch, Talha Bin Mohsin and Mahesh Parab, Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy Mumbai said that the new normal has brought with it new uncertainties that have left us with a lot of unanswered questions. We all are trying to make sense of the new range of do's and don'ts. But even in these testing times we wanted to tell people that ICICI Lombard has suitably adapted its services to help its customers adapt to the new normal, seamlessly. While the world awaits a restart, our new health insurance solutions are here to make it right".

ICICI Lombard has always been a pioneer in identifying emerging trends and providing effective solutions to customers, in line with its brand ethos of "Nibhaaye Vaade" (Keeping promises).

कोरोना से बचाव मे ही बचाव: आयुर्वेदिक डॉक्टर पूजा मल्होत्रा ने बताए नुस्खे: कोरोना के दौर मे इम्युनिटी बढ़ाने के लिए घरेलू उपाय: रोज 30 मिनट तक करें योगा, ज्यादा से ज्यादा पीएं गर्म पानी

By 121 News

Chandigarh July 02, 2020:-वैश्विक महामारी कोरोना से बचाव का सबसे कारगर तरीका इम्म्युनिटी बनाकर रखा जाना है। इसके लिए घरेलू उपाय ही बड़े प्रभावशाली है। यह कहना है आयुर्वेदिक डॉक्टर पूजा मल्होत्रा का।

सेक्टर 19 स्थित गुरुद्वारा श्री गुरु सिंह सभा की चैरिटेबल डिस्पेंसरी में आयुर्वेदिक डॉक्टर पूजा मल्होत्रा का कहना है कि लॉक डाउन खुलने के बाद गुरुद्वारा साहिब में क्लिनिक शुरू होने के साथ ही रोजाना मरीज विशेषकर बजुर्ग और युवा ही किसी न किसी प्रॉब्लम को लेकर उनके पास आ रहे है। 

 डॉक्टर पूजा मल्होत्रा ने बताया कि लॉक डाउन लगने से घरों में बंद रहने के चलते लोगों के खान पान में काफी बदलाव आया। दूसरा कोई शारिरिक गतिविधि भी न होने से उन्हें कुछ न कुछ दिक्कत महसूस होने लगी है। उनके पास ज्यादातर कब्ज़, ब्लड प्रेशर , एसिडिटी, गैस और कोलेस्ट्रॉल जैसी प्रॉब्लम के मरीज आये। इसके 

लिए सभी को तनाव मुक्त रहने के लिए अश्वगंधा का सेवन करने की सलाह दी। 

उन्होंने इम्म्युनिटी सिस्टम को बेहतर बंनाने के लिए घरेलू  उपाय भी बताए। जिसमे अजवाइन, लांग, दालचीनी, तुलसी, काली मिर्च और अदरक व हल्दी का कुछ भाग से तैयार किया गया काढ़ा भी इम्म्युनिटी सिस्टम बूस्ट करता है। इसके अलावा ज्यादा से ज्यादा मात्रा में गर्म पानी भी शरीर को बेहतर रखता है। गिलोय और आंवला भी इम्म्युनिटी सिस्टम मजबूत बनाये रखने का अचूक माध्यम है। डॉक्टर पूजा मल्होत्रा रोजाना 30 मिनिट योगा के अलावा प्राणायाम व एक्सरसाइज भी शरीर को चुस्त दारुस्त बनाये रखने के लिए बेहद आवश्यक है। उन्होंने बताया कि सुबह का नाश्ता कभी भी छोड़ना नही चाहिए, बल्कि दिन भर थोड़ा थोड़ा कुछ न कुछ पौष्टिक अवश्य खाते रहना चाहिए। जंक फूड विशेषकर मैदा से तैयार खाने की चीजों से बचना चाहिए। खाना खाते समय मोबाइल और टी वी देखने से तो बिल्कुल बचना चाहिए। 

डॉक्टर पूजा के अनुसार रोजमर्रा में हर किसी को पुदीने के पतों की स्टीम लेने के साथ साथ नाक छिद्रा में सरसों या नारियल के तेल को लगाना चाहिए तथा मुंह मे 01 चमच्च कोकोनट आयल को डालकर धीमी गति से 01 मिनट तक चला कर थूक देना चाहिए तथा कोसे पानी से कुल्ला कर लेना चाहिए।

डॉक्टर पूजा ने बताया कि रोजाना हल्दी वाला दूध भी एक बड़ा ही अचूक उपाय है।

Deakin University, Australia & Chitkara Univesity Announces Exclusive Academic Mentorship in Software Engineering for Indian Students

By 121 News

Chandigarh July 02, 2020:-Deakin University, Australia and Chitkara University, near Chandigarh has announced an innovative pathway study option commencing September 2020.  

In the midst of the uncertain circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Deakin University, Australia and Chitkara University have announced the launch of an 'Academic Mentorship' program to ensure that students may continue to achieve their international study goals during this time.  The announcement has come at a time when travel is suspended and students are uncertain of their dream for an overseas higher education opportunity. 

Deakin University and Chitkara University have developed a 4-year Bachelor of Software Engineering that will facilitate Indian students to study two years of Deakin University's licensed curriculum at Chitkara University before students transfer for the remaining two years on-shore at Deakin University in Australia.  This transfer is based on conditions, and students after successful completion will receive a Deakin University Bachelor of Software Engineering degree in Australia.

Speaking about this innovative program, Deakin University's Deputy Vice President (Global) and CEO (South Asia), Ms Ravneet Pawha, said that at Deakin we are continuously innovating our offerings and with the current challenges presented by COVID-19, innovative hybrid programs like this would help students keep their study and career goals on track. 

We are proud of our partnership with Chitkara University and delighted to have developed this unique program, which will allow students to study an international degree from their home-country while having academic mentorship through the teaching and support by the faculty at Chitkara University.

This is a one-of-its kind initiative in the international education space, where students will earn 100% credits of prior learning at a leading Indian university before transferring to a Deakin University campus in Australia. As a part of the arrangement, students while studying the first two years of the program at Chitkara will pay local India tuition fee. Students will also be co-taught some academic units by Deakin faculty in infrastructure, and resources that will be similar to Deakin. This simply translates in better academic success for students with global careers and an education that saves them huge costs.

Chitkara University's Pro-Chancellor, Dr Madhu Chitkara, said that the blended program is being launched at a very appropriate time.  Given the current situation, students will be able to continue their education while keeping their dreams of international education intact. 

She added that she is confident that the overall student experience will be enriched through this Academic Mentorship program with the high quality of the teaching and learning support from faculty and staff from both institutions.

With this initiative, there will be no gap in students' learning outcomes and they will arrive in Australia with similar academic learnings had they started in the same program at Deakin in the first year. If for some reason a student is unable to make it for the on-shore studies at Deakin, they will have an option to pursue an industry-leading Bachelor's degree from Chitkara University.
