Haryana’s Mother-Daughter Duo Brings Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Vision of Women Empowerment to Life

Panchkula, December 26, 2024

In a story that epitomizes the power of maternal love and determination, Harsh Sharma from Panchkula, Haryana, has dedicated her life to nurturing her differently-abled daughter, Tejaswini. Despite being 90% physically disabled, Tejaswini has emerged as a celebrated devotional singer, thanks to her mother’s unwavering support and guidance. This incredible journey of grit and devotion has earned Harsh Sharma an invitation from the United Nations to be honored on International Women’s Day.

Tejaswini, who has previously been awarded the President’s Award for her talent, will also have the opportunity to perform at the Indian Embassy during the event. This recognition not only highlights the transformative power of a mother’s love but also brings immense pride to Haryana and India as a whole.

This honor marks a historic first for India – the recognition of a mother abroad for her lifelong dedication to empowering her differently-abled child. Harsh Sharma’s story is an inspiration for countless parents and sets a precedent for celebrating the role of caregivers in shaping the future of differently-abled individuals.

Born in July 1986, Tejaswini’s early years were marked by severe health complications, leaving her bedridden for nine years. However, her mother’s relentless efforts to nurture her talent changed the course of her life. Harsh introduced Tejaswini to devotional music, and despite her inability to read, write, or see, Tejaswini mastered the art by listening to her mother sing. Today, her voice has touched hearts across the nation, earning her prestigious accolades like the Roll Model of India award from former President Pratibha Patil.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of women empowerment has been a guiding force for the nation. Initiatives like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, launched from Haryana’s Panipat in 2015, and Haryana’s innovative Bima Sakhi scheme demonstrate a commitment to empowering women. Harsh Sharma appeals to both the Prime Minister and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to introduce more initiatives aimed at bringing differently-abled children into the mainstream.

Tejaswini’s journey is a beacon of hope and a call to action for society to support and uplift such children. By recognizing their potential and providing them with opportunities, we can build a more inclusive future.

Harsh Sharma and Tejaswini’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless possibilities of women empowerment. Their journey deserves to be celebrated not only at the United Nations but also as an inspiration for every household in India. It is a moment of pride for Haryana, and the government is urged to share their story widely to encourage and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

Build a Kinder World, One Paw at a Time!*-Tejaswini Gulati (Psychologist)

November : 13th marks the World Kindness Day, a global celebration dedicated to promoting acts of generosity and compassion. Kindness as a concept is integral to human nature and entails empathising with, sharing, and alleviating the pain and suffering of one another. While the occasion encourages us to practice kindness towards ourselves and others, one often overlooked yet significant deed is showing kindness to the voiceless of our country. The condition of community dogs of India, often subject to hunger, disease, and abuse, mirrors the grave depravity and critical importance of extending our service beyond our kin.

India is home to an estimated 60 to 70 million stray dogs, and yet, the choice for pedigree dogs as companions still remains perniciously popular. While individuals are entitled to their right to choose, this choice, however, is rooted in ignorance. It lacks necessary background checks and entirely disregards the abuse and extreme cruelty that the backyard breeding industry thrives on. Advocate and Animal Rights Activist Niharika Kashyap stated that countless unethical breeders force female dogs to breed more than twice a year, which in essence is rape, just to make more money. Additionally, the newborn puppies are separated from their mothers and are sold at an alarmingly young age.

The reality of stray dogs similarly paints a very grim picture. There is ample evidence available on Google search for dog rape cases in India which grossly falls short to represent the actual number of such incidents in our country. Our community dogs battle for survival throughout their lives amidst traffic, worsening weather conditions, toxic waste products, scarcity of food and water, and rampant animal cruelty. Furthermore, the perception of housing societies in India is increasingly inclining towards viewing them as nuisances rather than as living and breathing creatures capable of feeling physical and mental pain. This attitude further extends to rescuers who work tirelessly to feed, rescue, and rehabilitate abandoned dogs while exposing themselves to the dangers of being at the receiving end of threats and violence. Overall, the feeling of contempt for stray dogs is leading to growing indifference and being out of touch with human qualities such as kindness, compassion, and care.

Rescuing stray dogs isn’t just about easing their suffering; it‘s about creating a culture of kindness and responsibility that guarantees a positive societal impact. Developing empathy toward animals has previously been associated with increased pro-social behaviour and improved interpersonal relationships. In India, where community spirit thrives in the form of shared compassion, we have an opportunity to build and extend this sense of unity to protect the most vulnerable members of our society—our community dogs.

This World Kindness Day, let’s pledge not just to be kind, but to be agents of change for those who cannot speak for themselves. Let’s ask ourselves, how can we create a world where these beings no longer have to cower in fear? They don’t need grand gestures; they need heartfelt actions that affirm their worth- a bowl of food, a warm space, and a touch that tells them they belong. 

In loving an animal, we discover something deeper within ourselves, and as the saying goes, until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Airtel's AI-powered network solution has enabled customers in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh to bid farewell to spam calls and SMSes

Chandigarh, October 14, 2024:* Bharti Airtel's new AI-powered spam detection system has provided much-needed relief to customers in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. In the 18 days since its launch, this pioneering telecom solution has successfully identified 157 million potential spam calls and 3 million spam SMS messages in these states.

All Airtel mobile customers in the state can now have automatic access to the free solution without needing to request service or download an app.

Commenting on the launch, Pushpinder Singh Gujral, Chief Executive Officer, Upper North, Bharti Airtel, said, “In the ever-evolving digital world, customers face growing threats from scams and fraud, leaving many feeling vulnerable. To address this urgent challenge, Airtel has introduced an innovative AI-powered solution. This groundbreaking technology actively identifies suspected spam calls and messages, empowering Airtel's 35 million strong customer base in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Through this initiative, Airtel reaffirms its commitment to customer safety, setting a new industry standard as a dependable partner dedicated to the security and peace of mind of its users”.

Developed in-house by Airtel’s data scientists, the AI-powered solution uses a proprietary algorithm to identify and classify calls and SMSes as "Suspected Spam". The network powered by a state-of-the-art AI algorithm analyses various parameters such as the caller or sender's usage patterns, call/SMS frequency and call duration amongst several others, on a real time basis. By cross-referencing this information against known spam patterns, the system flags suspected spam calls and SMSes accurately.  

A dual-layered protection, the solution has two filters – one at the network layer and the second at the IT systems layer. Every call and SMS passes through this dual-layered AI shield. In two milliseconds the solution processes 1.5 billion messages and 2.5 billion calls. This is equivalent to processing 1 trillion records on a real time basis using the power of AI.

Additionally, the solution also alerts customers to malicious links received via SMS. For this, Airtel has built a centralized database of blacklisted URLs and every SMS is scanned in real time by a state-of-the-art AI algorithm to caution users from accidently clicking on suspicious links. The solution can also detect anomalies such as frequent IMEI changes – a typical indicator of fraudulent behaviour. By layering these protective measures, the company is ensuring its customers receive the maximum level of defence against the evolving landscape of spam and fraud threats.

Note to media : 

The Government of India (GoI) has allocated 10-digit numbers with the prefix 160 to for service and transactional calls.
