In a moment steeped in nostalgia and renewed purpose, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, addressed the press conference of filmmaker Karan Razdan’s Rajni 2.0 on DD National and WAVES OTT, reaffirming the cultural significance and enduring relevance of India’s most iconic social crusader. The evening stood as a stirring tribute to the late Priya Tendulkar, whose fearless portrayal of Rajni reshaped Indian television and awakened a generation to injustice.

Produced by Karan Razdan under the Lord Shiva Entertainment banner, Rajni 2.0 follows Rama Rajni Prabhakarr, who walks in the footsteps of her mother and continues her legacy with unwavering resolve.

The new season boldly confronts urgent, real-world issues — fraudulent builders and RERA challenges, VVIP racism, malpractice in private hospitals, misuse of bypass surgeries, entitlements under Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY, workplace harassment under the POSH Act, chit fund scams, drug de-addiction, and the fast-growing menace of digital arrest frauds targeting senior citizens.

Reflecting on the same, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati, said, “My takeaway from the promo today was three phrases — women empowerment, consumer rights, and the safety of women in the workplace. Rajani was conceptualised, executed, and broadcast before  the issues entered common language,  which shows how much the show was ahead of its time. It is unfortunate we could not find the episodes to re-telecast such great work, much as we would have loved to. But we searched and found Karan Razdan to bring the show back as Rajni 2.0, and we are elated that Rajni is back!”

Speaking at the event, Karan Razdan shared that the show seeks not just to highlight societal problems but to empower citizens with solutions. “Priya Tendulkar made Rajni a movement. Rajni 2.0 honours her legacy by giving today’s viewers the clarity, courage, and information they need to stand up once again,” he said.

The evening also resonated with heartfelt sentiments from distinguished guests. Anupam Kher spoke warmly of his deep friendship with Karan Razdan, his profound respect for Priya Tendulkar, and the need for socially relevant shows like Rajni 2.0 to find space on the DD National platform and WAVES OTT. Harman Baweja expressed pride in standing behind a show aired on DD National and WAVES, adding that his presence also honoured the cherished bond his father, filmmaker Harry Baweja, shared with both Karan Razdan and Anupam Kher.

Actress Aradhana Sharma spoke with disarming candour, saying that working on the series was not only a powerful learning experience but also an eye-opener that deepened her understanding of the social realities portrayed — something she feels proud to voice both as an individual and as an artiste.

The press conference concluded with an emotional remembrance of Basu Chatterjee and Priya Tendulkar, followed by a celebratory cake-cutting that marked the growing success of Rajni 2.0 — a series that continues to honour a formidable legacy while inspiring India to stand up, speak up, and demand a better tomorrow.

In an era defined by rapid digitalization,
global enterprise restructuring and the rise of AI-driven operating models, Dr.
Narendra Pratap Singh Tomar has emerged as one of the most respected
transformation thinkers of his time. Popularly known as Dr. Narendra Tomar or
NPS Tomar, he is an Indian-origin global strategist, CXO advisor and Founder
and Managing Director of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd in the United Kingdom.
With more than twenty years of international experience, he has shaped
transformation outcomes for global conglomerates, Fortune-tier enterprises and
next-generation Global Capability Centers across India, the UK, the Middle East
and APAC.

Early Life and Formative Values

Born and raised in India and currently based
in Mumbai, Dr. Tomar attributes his leadership foundation to the values
instilled by his parents, Bharat Singh Tomar and Alakhnandini Singh Tomar.
Their emphasis on discipline, clarity of thought, structural balance and
emotional grounding played a defining role in shaping his worldview.

From an early age, he displayed a keen
interest in understanding how systems work — whether organisational structures,
technology frameworks or behavioural patterns. This natural inclination toward
logic, governance and problem-solving led him to pursue a career that would
unite technology with strategic leadership.

A Two-Decade Global Career

Dr. Tomar began his professional journey in
2006 and has since worked across multiple continents, contributing to some of
the most respected institutions and consulting firms in the world. His

high-level foresight with hands-on execution.

Establishing Marshall Ridge Consulting (UK)

The creation of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd
in the UK was a culmination of Dr. Tomar’s strategic vision for the future of
advisory services. He observed that organisations no longer benefit from
traditional, layered consulting structures. Instead, they require strategic
partners who offer clarity, speed of execution and measurable impact.

Marshall Ridge Consulting was built on three
pillars: perspective, precision and performance. The firm focuses on enterprise
transformation, GCC strategy and scaling, AI-led modernisation, digital and
technology uplift, leadership advisory, M&A readiness and operating model
redesign. Despite being a bootstrapped venture, it rapidly built international
credibility, working with clients across the UK, Middle East, India and APAC.
Its agile, senior-led and non-bureaucratic approach differentiates it from
conventional consulting houses.

The firm operates from its UK office located
at 27–37 Station Road, Hayes, UB3 4DX, England, and continues to expand its
international presence.

Leadership Philosophy and Strategic Influence

Dr. Tomar is known for advising CXOs, boards,
founders and GCC leaders on high-stakes decisions that shape the future of
their organisations. His guidance often focuses on enterprise AI operating
models, digital acceleration strategies, multi-country governance structures,
cybersecurity modernisation, organisational maturity, innovation ecosystems and
future-of-work readiness.

His leadership philosophy is rooted in
structured thinking, ethical governance and the belief that the next generation
of leaders must integrate human intelligence with technological intelligence.
Dr. Tomar emphasises purpose-driven progress, emotional stability and
clarity-driven decision-making as critical attributes of leadership in the AI
era.

Awards, Recognition and Global Appointments

transformation and governance have been recognised through several honours. He

Financial Sector in 2024, acknowledging his influence on enterprise technology

Awards 2024, recognising excellence in global software quality.

He is also a member of the World Human Rights
Protection Commission and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the same
institution. His professional credentials include an Independent Director
certification from IICA and a Global CXO certification from CXO Hive.

Author of Two Transformative Books

Beyond his advisory work, Dr. Tomar is an
author whose writing focuses on redefining leadership, wealth, purpose and the
future of digital organisations. His published book, The Life
Capitalist, reimagines the meaning of wealth through emotional strength,
conscious living, societal responsibility and personal purpose. It encourages
individuals to pursue balance, legacy and meaningful success.

His second book, Digital Renaissance:
The Executive’s Handbook to Transformative Leadership, offers a
comprehensive leadership roadmap for CXOs transitioning from traditional
management models to AI-driven organisational structures. It includes
frameworks, case studies and governance models designed for executive readiness
in the 5.0 era of leadership.

Together, these works reflect his mission to
inspire both personal and organisational transformation.

Vision for the Future

Dr. Tomar’s long-term vision is to build
Marshall Ridge Consulting into one of the world’s most trusted transformation
and strategy firms. His focus includes expanding operations across Europe, the
Middle East and the United States, launching a leadership excellence community

rooted in clarity, precision and impact — redefining what strategic advisory
should look like in the next decade.

Jaipur: The Jaipur chapter of the national-level beauty pageant ‘Miss Urvashi – Season 4’, organised by Elite Production House, was successfully conducted on Sunday at a café located in Bani Park. The audition witnessed enthusiastic participation from young female models representing the city’s Miss category, all vying for an entry into a reputed national platform.

Organiser Virendra Agrawal and Show Director Rachna Choudhary shared that this year’s edition is themed ‘The Gateway to Bollywood’, emphasising the pageant’s commitment to bridging talented young women with mainstream entertainment opportunities. The theme aims to empower aspiring models from across the country with a direct pathway to the glamour and creative world of cinema.

During the Jaipur auditions, participants between 17 to 28 years showcased their confidence, stage presence, and modelling skills. Dressed in a unified black one-piece dress code, the contestants walked the ramp with poise as they underwent various performance and personality assessment rounds. The organisers stated that Miss Urvashi is a fully national-level showcase, for which nearly 100 shortlisted models from different states will compete across multiple audition rounds.

Following the auditions, the selected contestants will enter a rigorous five-day grooming programme, designed to enhance their professional readiness. The schedule will include personality development sessions, photoshoots, talent performances, fashion workshops, and several curated activities aimed at transforming them for the competitive entertainment landscape. The season’s grand finale is slated to be held on 31 December, promising a high-profile and large-scale event.

Highlighting the most unique aspect of this pageant, the organisers announced that winners will receive direct opportunities to work in upcoming Bollywood projects, making Miss Urvashi one of the most aspirational platforms for emerging talent. They further added that the initiative is especially beneficial for participants who, due to financial constraints, are unable to pursue their dreams at expensive national-level competitions. To support inclusivity, the entire event is being conducted completely free of cost, ensuring every capable contestant gets an equal chance to shine.

The Jaipur auditions were evaluated by a distinguished jury panel featuring Mamta Khichi, Miss Urvashi Runner-Up 2024, along with Show Director Rachna Choudhary. Both judges praised the enthusiasm, presentation, and determination of the participating models, noting that Rajasthan continues to produce strong contenders for the national modelling scene.

With the growing recognition of Miss Urvashi across India, the organisers reaffirmed their commitment to offering genuine talent exposure, professional training, and opportunities beyond the conventional boundaries of beauty pageants. Season 4 is expected to set new benchmarks with its Bollywood-centric vision and nationwide participation.

Transgender athlete Nandini Sindhi rises from struggle to national glory in Ice Stock Sport and now dreams of representing India at the international level.

Born and raised in Jaipur, Nandini Sindhi, a proud member of the transgender community, has become an inspiring symbol of courage, determination, and sporting excellence. Her life—marked by hardship, discrimination, and relentless struggle—has transformed into a story of resilience after she won multiple medals in Ice Stock Sport, including the prestigious National Gold Medal in 2025.

Nandini’s early life was filled with challenges. She lost both her parents at a very young age, leaving her responsible for supporting her entire family. While other children enjoyed carefree lives, she carried emotional and financial burdens far beyond her age. Growing up as a transgender child in a conservative society, she faced taunts, humiliation, exclusion, and discrimination. She was denied dignity, denied acceptance, and even denied employment opportunities simply because of her gender identity. With no support and no job prospects, she was forced to beg on trains just to survive.

During one of her most difficult phases, a member of the transgender community helped her understand the realities of society and the importance of inner strength. She later found shelter through Garima Greh NGO, but when the center shut down unexpectedly, she again faced uncertainty. Eventually, she joined the broader transgender community, yet the discrimination did not stop.

Determined to create a life of dignity for herself and others, Nandini began taking care of displaced transgender children and youth through the space earlier managed by Garima Greh’s Sartar Home. During this time, she met Msk Pankaj, a mentor from Garima Greh who played a crucial role in transforming her life. He introduced her to dance training and continued to guide her with genuine care.

Nandini recalls this turning point with deep gratitude:

“It was Msk Pankaj Sir who first told us about Ice Stock and took us to learn it. We all first met at the Garima Greh shelter home, where he used to train children for free in dance, singing, and other activities. Later, he called Manish Sir to teach us this sport and spoke to the Ice Stock Director to waive our fees. He gave us a chance to move forward and requested the association to support us. I thank him from my heart—no one does this much for transgender people.”

— Transgender athlete Nandini Sindhi

Through this support system, Nandini met Ice Stock Director Sakshi Sharma and coaches Sameer and Manish Bhati, who believed in her potential. Their guidance became the bridge between her struggles and her rising sports career.

Her journey in Ice Stock Sport began in 2024 when she won a Silver Medal at the District Championship. She soon advanced to the State Championship, winning Gold, and later competed in the 11th National Ice Stock Championship 2025 in Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir, where she secured Silver and Bronze among participants from 22 states.

But Nandini’s dream was clear—she wanted national gold.

On 12 August 2025, at an Ice Stock State Championship hosted by Vivekananda Global University, she achieved two Gold Medals. With renewed confidence, she competed in the Samar Stock National Championship 2025 in Agra, where athletes from 14 states participated. In a tough final match against Gujarat, Nandini and her team secured a spectacular victory by 8 points, finally winning the National Gold Medal she had worked so hard for.

Today, Nandini aims to represent India on the international stage and bring home a gold medal for the country. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to the Ice Stock Association, Director Sakshi Sharma, Manish Bhati, Sameer Sir, and especially Msk Pankaj, whose support changed the direction of her life.

Nandini’s journey is a powerful reminder that resilience can overcome prejudice, and determination can break every barrier. Her story serves as an inspiration for every individual who dares to rise above society’s limitations and fight for their dreams.

Regular Review Meetings and Follow- ups with Investors are key to Expediate MoU Implementation: CS

Jaipur: Chief Secretary, Shri Sudhansh Pant, chaired a review meeting today to assess the progress of MoUs signed during the Rajasthan Rising Global Investment Summit 2024.

During the review, the Chief Secretary appreciated the efforts of all departments in ensuring that investment commitments are effectively translated into on-ground action. He noted that MoUs worth INR 7 lakh crore has already been grounded, reflecting nearly 20% progress in implementation. This showcases the growing investor confidence in Rajasthan’s business ecosystem.

Emphasizing the importance of continuous monitoring and transparency, the Chief Secretary directed department officials to upload recent photographs and status updates of ongoing groundbreaking and implementation activities on the designated portal. This, he said, would help showcase tangible progress and build trust among investors and stakeholders.

Emphasizing the importance of consistent follow-up, Chief Secretary Shri Sudhansh Pant said, “Regular review meetings, proactive engagement with investors, and transparent procedures are key to accelerating MoU implementation and ensuring smooth execution.”

Additionally, the Chief Secretary urged departments to maintain momentum and work collectively to achieve the milestone of grounding MoUs worth INR 9 lakh crore by December 2025. He highlighted that timely facilitation, proactive coordination, and swift resolution of investor concerns are key to realizing the state’s vision of sustained industrial growth and job creation.

In addition to this, Shri Pant further directed the officials to apprise the investors about RIICO’s Direct Land Allotment Scheme. The scheme offers industrial plots at reserved price to investors who have signed MoUs with the state under “Rising Rajasthan”.

The sixth phase of RIICOs Direct Land Allotment Scheme has commenced on 30th October 2025 and offers industrial plots to investors in various new and existing industrial areas developed by RIICO.

The meeting was attended by Shri Kuldeep Ranka, Additional Chief Secretary, Higher Technical Education; Shri Alok Gupta, Principal Secretary, Industries and Commerce; Shri Dinesh Kumar, Principal Secretary, Revenue; Shri Rajesh Yadav, Principal Secretary, Tourism; Shri T. Ravikanth, Principal Secretary, Mines & Petroleum; Shri Debashish Prusty, Principal Secretary, UDH; Shri Suresh Kumar Ola, Commissioner, Bureau of Investment Promotion (BIP) and other senior officials from the state government.

In a powerful confluence of beauty, intellect, and purpose, Sabitha Sriram, crowned Ms India 2025 and Ms Digital Eco Queen 2025, is redefining what it means to wear the crown. A visionary with a heart for sustainability, she is using her platform to promote Artificial Intelligence (AI) for humanity, bridging technology with compassion to create a more sustainable and equitable India.

Armed with a Master’s degree in Business and Analytics, Sabitha embodies the spirit of innovation. Her vision — “AI for Sustainability” — extends beyond theory, incorporating AI-driven agricultural enhancement, renewable energy use, and river and ocean cleaning through remote sensing technologies. She believes that technology, when combined with ethics and empathy, can transform India’s environmental and social landscape.

Inspired deeply by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Sabitha integrates his philosophy of “nation building through technology and knowledge” into her initiatives. Echoing Kalam’s PURA (Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas) model, she advocates for using AI and geospatial technologies to uplift rural India — improving weather forecasting, monitoring mineral resources for afforestation, and boosting crop productivity.

“My dream is a distress-free rural India — where farmers thrive, scientists innovate, and renewable energy lights every home,” says Sabitha. Her concept of Digital Eco Queen symbolizes a new generation of leadership that combines scientific knowledge with cultural values. Rooted in spirituality and guided by ethics taught by her parents and professors, she promotes the idea of women as the embodiment of Saraswathi and Matru Bhumi, inspiring women in science to lead climate research and environmental conservation.

Beyond technology, Sabitha supports social causes close to her heart. She champions scholarship programs for children from marginalized communities, advocates acid-attack prevention through the Laxmi Agarwal Foundation, and promotes sustainable farming through Digital Green Foundation’s AI initiatives.

Her message is simple yet powerful:

“A nation’s economic development is powered by competitiveness, competitiveness by knowledge, knowledge by innovation, and innovation by the right resource investment.”

Through her title as Ms India 2025, Sabitha Sriram represents not just grace and intelligence but a transformative vision for sustainable nation-building — where AI, renewable energy, and humanity work hand in hand for a better tomorrow.
