Every year, a man in Karnataka dresses up as a terrifying demon—and then goes out asking people for money.
But the money isn’t for him.
Ravi Katapady, a daily-wage mason from Udupi, uses the Krishna Janmashtami vesha tradition to raise money for children needing medical treatment.
Over the years, Ravi and his team have collected more than ₹89 lakh for surgeries, treatment and hospital expenses.

In 2003, social worker Abharani Choudhury visited Jharpada jail in Bhubaneswar and was shocked to see children living alongside incarcerated family members.
Abharani immediately started providing these children of prisoners with not only food & shelter but more importantly education.
Besides Abharani also provided the most important thing... PARENTAL AFFECTION !
Today, Abharani Choudhury runs the shelter with her daughter, psychologist Matrumayee Priyadarshini supporting more than 200 children with a better life!!

A red bar indicates that the medicine should not be taken without a doctor's consultation.
If your doctor prescribes such medications, it’s important to complete the entire course and not skip any doses.
This ensures the treatment is effective and prevents potential health risks from self-medication.

Guron Ka Talab in Jodhpur was once filled with plastic, garbage and discarded religious items.
In 2016, Pandit Jeevraj Shrimali decided to do something about it. He kept returning, cleaning and ultimately succeeded in bringing it back to life!
Then Pandit Jeevraj moved to other ponds. Over the years, he helped revive 5 ponds, removed more than 5 tonnes of waste and planted over 350 trees.
And he didn't stop at cleaning. He helped create immersion tanks, waste collection systems and ways to reuse flowers and old cloth, so the problem wouldn't return.

At 25, Neha Thakur from Himachal Pradesh trained to become an air hostess.
But .......instead of flying in the sky, she chose to drive trucks through the mountains of Himachal Pradesh.
Why?
Because as a child, she had watched her father drive trucks. What began as childhood memories slowly became a career of her own. Today, she handles mountain roads and shares her journey with thousands of people online.

In Kolhapur, Maharashtra, a 55-year-old teacher named Jivan Mithari has been walking 5 kilometres through forest and wildlife territory every day for 13 years. He isn't travelling to a large school with hundreds of students. He makes this journey to reach a remote Zilla Parishad school.
And the reason?
There is ONE SINGLE STUDENT waiting for him.
For 13 years, Jivan Mithari kept making the same journey, day after day. 5 kilometres for that one single student.

An injured wild elephant in Jharkhand was struggling to walk because of a severe foot injury. Her 2–3-year-old calf stayed beside her. Taking a frightened, several-tonne elephant to a hospital could cause even more stress and risk.
That is where Haathi Sewa makes a difference.
Wildlife SOS’s mobile veterinary initiative takes the hospital to the elephant. The team carries all medical equipments like X-rays, blood tests, thermal imaging, medicines, so that animals clbe treated directly in the field.
In this case, veterinarians stayed with the mother for nearly 10 days

Every summer, Nitin’s family business faced the same problem — the borewell would run dry. Without water, they couldn’t even wash customers’ cars.
Instead of finding more water, Nitin decided to find a way to wash cars without it. He spent two years testing nearly 600 formulas. There were doubts at home too. His wife even mortgaged her jewellery to support the idea.
Then came the breakthrough.
He developed a plant-based cleaner where 100 ml replaces roughly 25 litres of water used in a conventional car wash.
Today, Go Waterless has 214 franchises across 22 states and has grown from a ₹10 lakh initial investment to around ₹10 crore in five years.

Born blind in a small town in Andhra Pradesh, Nagababu Jannu was told his future would be one of dependence. Even when he wanted to study engineering, a polytechnic told him he could not apply because of his disability.
He refused to accept it. He took his case to the Commissioner of Technical Education and later fought a legal battle when further barriers blocked his education. In 2005, a government order finally allowed him to pursue engineering.
Nagababu went on to complete a Polytechnic diploma and BTech in Computer Science. Today, more than 17 years into his career, he is a Vice President and Lead Software Engineer at a global financial institution.

Shameful U-Turn by The Indian Express!
The agenda-driven newspaper 'The Indian Express', which attempted to defame Gyanesh Kumar by kicking up a row over the functioning of the Election Commission in its September 22 edition, has made an embarrassing U-turn within just four days. In today's—that is, September 26, 2026—edition, the Express published an article in its 'Explained' section indicating that what it previously stated was incorrect and led to a flawed conclusion. This article is written by Damini Nath, the reporter who regularly covers the Election Commission.
The 'Express' Clarification
In this article, Damini Nath stated that 'ever since two additional commissioners were inducted—that is, since 1993—differences of opinion have constantly arisen among all three commissioners. However, resolving matters through discussion and passing resolutions unanimously has been the standard process followed every time.' She also cited examples like Seshan, Gopalaswami, Lavasa, and others to show how these differences occasionally spilled into the public domain. According to her, all resolutions related to the SIR were approved unanimously with the signatures of all three commissioners. Therefore, there is no longer any reason for dispute on this matter.
In short, whatever I stated in my post yesterday (dated 25-09-2026) titled 'The False Agenda of Indian Express', she has affirmed in this article. In a sense, this is a stinging slap to superficial, ill-informed leaders like Rahul Gandhi.
Takeaway:
It is also worth noting here that Ritika Chopra, who wrote the article slinging mud at the Commission on 22-09-2026, had never covered news on the Commission before.
This clearly indicates that The Indian Express deliberately published this agenda-driven article first and subsequently published today's clarification just to protect itself from backlash.
Readers should take note of this. Moving forward, it would be in everyone's best interest not to pick up this newspaper or rely on its reporting.

In 1998, Krishnamurthy KS was selected to join the police force.
His parents said no.
So, he became a teacher.
Eleven years later, he was sent to a school in Gruhalakshmi Layout, Bengaluru.
There was no building.
No classroom.
Just a tree, two students and one teacher
Krishnamurthy saw a challenge.
He approached corporates and NGOs, gathered support, and slowly built the school.
Today, that same school has 850 students, 26 classrooms, smart classrooms, robotics and computer science from primary school !!!!
