Union Minister Ramdas Athawale Rushes To Aid Injured In Moshi Tragedy; Sanghamitra Gaikwad Praises His People-Centric Leadership, Calls For Greater Access To Women Empowerment Schemes
Pimpri-Chinchwad | Representative : Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and National President of the Republican Party of India (Athawale), Shri Ramdas Athawale, visited the injured victims of the tragic accident at the PCMC Waste-to-Energy Project in Moshi, where a massive garbage mound collapsed onto the administrative building following heavy rainfall.
During his visit to Sainath Hospital, Shri Athawale interacted with doctors to obtain detailed updates on the condition of the injured and directed officials to ensure that all necessary medical facilities and treatment were provided without delay. He also met the injured victims and their families, offering words of encouragement and assuring them that the government stands firmly by their side during this difficult time.
Sanghamitra Tai Gaikwad, Maharashtra State Chief Secretary of the Republican Party of India (Athawale Group) and Producer of Sanghamitra Film Production, praised Shri Ramdas Athawale’s compassionate leadership and unwavering commitment to the people.
Speaking on the occasion, Sanghamitra Tai Gaikwad said:
“I have had the privilege of working with Shri Ramdas Athawale for many years and have closely witnessed his dedication. He is not just a Union Minister but a true people’s leader who has consistently worked for the welfare of the poor, Dalits, the underprivileged, and the common citizens. He always ensures that justice reaches the last person in society. Whenever a tragedy occurs, he personally visits the victims and extends every possible support. This is why he enjoys immense respect, trust, and affection from people across the country.”
Highlighting the importance of women’s empowerment, Sanghamitra Tai Gaikwad stressed that women should receive the maximum benefit from various government schemes promoting self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and employment.
“An economically empowered woman builds a stronger family and a stronger society. Women who aspire to start their own businesses should have easy access to financial assistance, skill training, bank loans, professional guidance, and government support. Enabling women to become self-reliant is the need of the hour,” she said.
She also appealed to all women office-bearers and workers of the Republican Party across Maharashtra to actively support women entrepreneurs by spreading awareness about government welfare schemes, assisting them with the application process, and guiding them towards financial independence.
“Empowering women is the highest form of social service. Every woman worker should extend a helping hand to those striving for self-reliance and ensure they receive the benefits they deserve,” she added.
Concluding her statement, Sanghamitra Tai Gaikwad prayed for the speedy recovery of all those injured in the Moshi accident and urged the concerned authorities to implement stronger safety measures to prevent such unfortunate incidents in the future

RAJESHH DATTATRYA BHUJLE The Art Of Being Unforgettable Some Men Follow Trends. Some Men Create Them
Rajeshh Dattatrya Bhujle belongs to that rare category of personalities who cannot be confined to a single identity. Actor. Director. Author. Voice mentor. Collector. Connoisseur. Visionary. And above all—a man with presence.
There is an unmistakable theatre to Rajeshh Bhujle. He does not simply enter a room; he changes its energy. His world exists somewhere between the cinematic grandeur of Bollywood, the quiet luxury of timeless objects and the magnetic confidence of a man who has spent a lifetime understanding the power of expression.
On screen, his versatility has found memorable expression in films such as Yeda and Wo Pehli Baar Raja. His portrayal of Mahira Sharma’s father in the global musical phenomenon Barish further established his ability to bring warmth, authority and emotional depth to the screen—a song that has reached an extraordinary audience of more than 25 crore hearts worldwide.
Yet his most fascinating role may be the one behind the scenes.

His voice carries equal power beyond the film world. In Dubai, at the 2023 Garima Show, he addressed more than 1,000 women entrepreneurs, delivering a motivational performance that transformed a speech into an experience. His fearless words at the Anti-Corruption Bureau earned him recognition from Additional Commissioner of Police Shri Vijay Patil.
Then there is the author—the mind behind I Can Make You Rich, a provocative exploration of ambition, wealth and the psychology of success.
And finally, there is the collector.
The watches. The cameos. The lighters. The brooches. The details that reveal a man’s eye for history and design.
His fragrance universe is equally distinctive. Rajj Kasturi and Shamama Special are limited-edition Indian perfumes born from a passion for rarity, sensuality and heritage. Rajj Kasturi, a purely handmade Indian musk fragrance, evokes the legendary world of Maharajas, Maharani and the timeless art of attraction.
This is the Rajeshh Bhujle signature: never ordinary, never predictable, always memorable.
Actor. Director. Author. Voice of Icons. Collector. Connoisseur.

New York State Honours Global Peace Leader His Eminence Prof. Sir Dr. Madhu Krishan With Multiple Prestigious Civic Recognitions
Retiring On Your Own Terms With ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings: The Growing Shift Toward Lifelong Financial Freedom
India is undergoing a significant demographic shift. While we celebrate being a young nation, we are rapidly transitioning into a society with a rapidly aging population. By 2036, one in every seven Indians will be a senior citizen and the number is projected to surge to 230 million, according to the National Commission on Population[1].
As life expectancy rises and the traditional social security of relying solely on next-generation support is changing, retirement planning has become a necessity rather than a choice.
To address this, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has designed ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings, a bonus-linked pension plan built on the pillars of safety and flexibility. This pension product offers the best of both worlds, allowing customers to accumulate corpus for pension with safety of capital invested and, partial withdrawal to meet liquidity needs in case of major life events or illnesses, ensuring that a family’s financial future remains secure.
Mr. Vikas Gupta, Chief Product Officer, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, said, “At ICICI Prudential Life, we believe retirement should be a milestone of celebration, not financial stress. ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings has been designed to offer certainty, growth through bonuses and the flexibility to access funds to meet life’s uncertainties in case of major life events or illnesses. By providing up to 25% emergency withdrawal feature and a corpus for retirement, this plan empowers our customers to transition from ‘active earning’ to ‘retirement income’ without compromising their dignity or aspirations. What makes the plan even more relevant to retirement planners is that it also provides health management and wellbeing services in the form of complimentary health check-ups.”
Let’s understand how this product works, consider Prateek, a 40-year-old professional. By saving ₹1.5 lakh annually for 10 years, he was able to build a retirement corpus of ₹44 lakh by the age of 60, assuming an 8% per annum rate of return or ₹25 lakh assuming a 4% per annum rate of return. The plan allows him to take up to 60% of this corpus as a tax-free lump sum to settle immediate goals like travel or a home renovation. He can receive guaranteed regular life-long income with the balance amount by purchasing an annuity product, ensuring he remains financially independent in his golden years.
In essence, ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings redefines retirement by combining capital protection, bonus-driven growth, and emergency liquidity feature (up to 25% withdrawal). By including complimentary health check-ups and offering a tax-free withdrawal at maturity, the plan offers a holistic, disciplined and secure path that empowers customers to achieve financial independence and peace of mind during their golden years.

आस्था से आगाज: कोलकाता में राजनीतिक पारी से पहले माँ विन्ध्यवासिनी दरबार पहुंचे कुलदीप मैती, मांगा आशीर्वाद
कोलकाता 13 जुलाई 2026 ! पश्चिम बंगाल में सियासी हलचल तेज है और टीएमसी में फूट मची है। कई विधायक ममता बनर्जी के साथ छोड़ चुके हैं। कई राज्यसभा और लोकसभा सांसद पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री ममता बनर्जी और भतीजे अभिषेक बनर्जी से नाराज चल रहे हैं। इस बीच बीजेपी सरकार ने उद्योगपतियों के लिए दरवाजे खोल रही हैं। VFS Capital के प्रबंध निदेशक एवं मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी कुलदीप मैती ने अपनी नई राजनीतिक यात्रा की शुरुआत से पहले माँ विन्ध्यवासिनी धाम, विन्ध्याचल में दर्शन-पूजन किया। उन्होंने प्रदेश की सुख-शांति और जनसेवा के लिए माँ से आशीर्वाद मांगा।
दर्शन के बाद मैती ने कहा, “सेवा ही संकल्प है। माँ के आशीर्वाद से अब मैं कोलकाता और पश्चिम बंगाल के विकास में प्रत्यक्ष भूमिका निभाना चाहता हूँ।” सूत्रों के अनुसार वे जल्द ही भारतीय जनता पार्टी का दामन थाम कर राज्यसभा जा सकते हैं। सदस्यता ग्रहण समारोह किसी वरिष्ठ नेता, संभवतः बीजेपी अध्यक्ष या केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री अमित शाह की उपस्थिति में हो सकता है।
सामाजिक क्षेत्र से जुड़े कुलदीप मैती को पूर्वी भारत के माइक्रोफाइनेंस सेक्टर का जाना-माना नाम माना जाता है। पिछले दो दशकों से वे महिलाओं और आर्थिक रूप से कमजोर वर्गों के वित्तीय सशक्तिकरण के लिए काम कर रहे हैं। मंदिर में बड़ी संख्या में दर्शक उपस्थित थे। आशीर्वाद लेकर लौटने पर दर्शकों में उत्साह देखा गया।
टीएमसी से मोहभंग के बाद भाजपा में नए चेहरों के जुड़ने की चर्चा के बीच श्री मैती का नाम भी तेजी से सामने आ रहा है। मैती बिजनेस एडमिनिस्ट्रेशन और सोशल सेक्टर में दो मास्टर डिग्री के साथ डॉक्टरेट भी हैं। शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य और युवा रोजगार को लेकर वे जल्द अपनी कार्ययोजना की घोषणा करेंगे। भाजपा और मैती की ओर से अभी आधिकारिक पुष्टि नहीं हुई है।
