महिला सशक्तिकरण और सार्वजनिक नेतृत्व में समान अधिकार का आह्वान


लखनऊ। आज के बदलते भारत में महिला केवल सशक्त ही नहीं, बल्कि हर क्षेत्र में निर्णायक भूमिका निभा रही है। शिक्षा, प्रशासन, विज्ञान, प्रबंधन, रक्षा और समाज सेवा—हर मोर्चे पर महिलाओं ने यह सिद्ध कर दिया है कि नेतृत्व क्षमता किसी लिंग की मोहताज नहीं होती।सरोजिनी नगर, लखनऊ से समाजसेवी एवं जननेता दुर्गेश यादव जी का दृढ़ विश्वास है कि यदि महिलाओं को सार्वजनिक नेतृत्व में समान अवसर और अधिकार दिए जाएँ, तो वे राष्ट्र को और अधिक संवेदनशील, समावेशी एवं प्रगतिशील दिशा में ले जा सकती हैं। उनके अनुसार, महिलाओं में निर्णय लेने की क्षमता, सहानुभूति, अनुशासन और दीर्घकालिक सोच जैसे गुण स्वाभाविक रूप से होते हैं, जो सुशासन की मजबूत नींव रखते हैं।
दुर्गेश यादव जी का मानना है कि महिला नेतृत्व केवल महिला सशक्तिकरण का विषय नहीं, बल्कि राष्ट्र निर्माण का प्रश्न है। जब आधी आबादी नीति-निर्माण और निर्णय प्रक्रिया में बराबरी से शामिल होगी, तभी लोकतंत्र वास्तव में मजबूत होगा। वे कहते हैं कि महिलाओं को राजनीति और सार्वजनिक नेतृत्व में आगे लाने से न केवल नीतियाँ अधिक जनोन्मुखी होंगी, बल्कि समाज में समानता और न्याय की भावना भी सुदृढ़ होगी।
इस अवसर पर उन्होंने युवतियों और महिलाओं से आगे आने, नेतृत्व की भूमिका निभाने और देश की दिशा तय करने में सक्रिय भागीदारी निभाने का आह्वान किया। साथ ही समाज से यह अपील की कि वह महिलाओं को केवल अवसर ही नहीं, बल्कि विश्वास और सम्मान भी दे।
“महिला का सशक्त होना ही राष्ट्र का सशक्त होना है। जब नेतृत्व में नारी होगी, तब नीति में संवेदना होगी और विकास में संतुलन होगा।”

Something New Kohom Organics Found About Rhythm in Skin Longevity


“Having peace, happiness, and health is my definition of beauty, and you can’t have any of that without sleep,” once said a globally celebrated pop icon known as much for her discipline as her performances. The statement captures a growing realisation: life moves in rhythm. From sunrise to sunset, our bodies follow cycles of activity, rest, defence, and repair. Skin, too, lives by this rhythm, and understanding it is reshaping how modern skincare is being designed.This idea sits at the centre of how Kohom Organics approaches skincare. Rather than treating skin as a static surface that needs constant correction, the brand views it as a living organ that responds to time. Circadian rhythm—the body’s 24-hour internal clock—does not just govern sleep and energy. Skin cells follow it closely, switching roles across the day. In daylight hours, skin prioritises defence. At night, it focuses on repair and regeneration. When skincare ignores this rhythm, skin often shows signs of stress, sensitivity, and premature ageing.
Kohom Organic’s philosophy is built around respecting this natural cycle. “Skin is the largest organ of the body, and it experiences life with you,” says Prachi Dua, Co-founder at Kohom Organics . “It reacts to pollution, sun exposure, screen time, sleep patterns, and emotional stress. Expecting instant results from skin without respecting how it functions biologically is where most routines go wrong.” This belief underpins the brand’s focus on skin longevity, extending the skin’s healthy life, or skinspan, rather than chasing short-term glow.
During the day, skin operates in what biology describes as defence mode. The barrier thickens, oil production increases, and the skin becomes less permeable to protect against UV rays, pollutants, and bacteria. Kohom Organic’s daytime approach reflects this reality. Products like Refresh Me Cleanser and Shield Me Sunscreen are designed to cleanse gently without disrupting the barrier and to reinforce protection rather than push aggressive repair. Antioxidant support and lightweight formulations help skin manage daily exposure without overload.
At night, the rhythm shifts. Cell turnover increases significantly, and skin becomes more receptive to ingredients as it focuses on repair. This is where products like Rejuvenate Me Night Cream come into play, supporting recovery when the skin is biologically primed for it. Central to this process is Kohom Organic’s use of postbiotics, bioactive compounds derived from beneficial bacteria that help calm inflammation, support barrier repair, and maintain microbiome balance. Unlike live probiotics, postbiotics are stable and work immediately, making them suitable for consistent, long-term use across both day and night cycles.
Behind this thinking is a multidisciplinary team of pharmacists, cosmetologists, microbiologists, and researchers. The brand’s work increasingly bridges science with systems thinking. Azim, Technology Lead at Kohom Organics, Canada explains that the sun plays a guiding role in how the team thinks about future innovation. “The sun governs circadian rhythm, for humans, skin, and nature itself,” he says. “We’re exploring how technology can align with these natural cycles, so skincare evolves with time instead of fighting it.”
In an industry long fixated on speed and instant transformation, Kohom Organics takes a different stance. By aligning skincare with circadian rhythm, daily stressors, and the skin’s natural ecosystem, the brand reframes beauty as something sustained, not rushed. The message is clear: when skincare moves in rhythm with life, longevity follows.

From Medicine to Market: How 24-Year-Old Dr. Sarwar Alam is Transforming Hair Care Innovation in Bihar


In the heart of Bihar’s Saharsa district, far away from India’s traditional startup hubs, a quiet but powerful transformation is taking place in the beauty and personal care industry. At just 24 years of age, Dr. Md. Sarwar Alam has emerged as a young entrepreneur who is challenging long-established norms in the hair care market through his premium brand, K-SARWAR. His journey from medicine to innovation reflects a new wave of Indian entrepreneurship where science, tradition, and social responsibility come together.

The Indian hair care industry has for decades been dominated by chemical-heavy formulations, often marketed with tall claims but limited scientific backing. Millions of Indians struggle with hair fall, thinning, and scalp issues, yet affordable, safe, and evidence-based solutions remain scarce—especially in semi-urban and rural regions. Recognizing this gap early, Dr. Sarwar Alam decided to chart a different path.What truly sets Dr. Alam apart from most young founders is his solid medical and research background. He holds degrees in B.E.M.S and D.H.P, along with a Master’s degree in Clinical Research. This rare combination gives him physician-level insight into formulation science and patient-centric problem solving. Instead of relying on outsourced development or generic formulas, Dr. Alam personally oversees product research and testing at his own facility under Sarbar Research Lab Private Limited.
Every K-SARWAR product—whether it is a hair regrowth oil, density-boosting shampoo, or scalp-care formulation—is developed with clinical precision. The brand draws from India’s rich Ayurvedic heritage while applying modern research standards to ensure safety, efficacy, and consistency. Ingredients such as rosemary, cedarwood, peppermint oil, and other botanicals are used not as trends, but as carefully studied components chosen for their proven benefits to scalp health and hair regeneration.
The philosophy behind K-SARWAR is simple yet powerful: natural solutions should be both effective and accessible. While many premium brands target only metro cities and high-income consumers, K-SARWAR focuses on affordability without compromising quality. This approach resonates strongly with its core audience—the common Indian consumer who seeks results-driven hair care without harsh side effects.
Early market response suggests that this strategy is working. K-SARWAR’s formulations for hair fall control and regrowth have gained notable traction among first-time users and repeat customers alike. Positive word-of-mouth and growing demand indicate a shift in consumer mindset toward natural, evidence-based alternatives. For Dr. Alam, this validation is not just commercial success but confirmation that science-backed herbal care has a strong future in India.
Beyond business metrics, the rise of K-SARWAR carries deeper significance for Bihar’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Saharsa, like many districts in the state, is rarely associated with advanced research or premium product manufacturing. Dr. Alam’s success challenges this perception and proves that innovation is not limited by geography. By leveraging local resources and Bihar’s herbal wealth, K-SARWAR demonstrates that global-quality products can emerge from regional India.
Looking ahead, Dr. Alam’s vision extends well beyond product sales. He believes hair loss is not merely a cosmetic issue but one that affects confidence, self-image, and mental well-being. Through K-SARWAR, he aims to restore not just hair health but also dignity and confidence among users. His long-term goal is to establish the brand as a trusted name in natural wellness—one that stands for integrity, clinical efficacy, and Indian innovation.
The story of Dr. Sarwar Alam and K-SARWAR serves as inspiration for young professionals across the country. It highlights how a strong educational foundation, respect for traditional knowledge, and commitment to quality can redefine even the most competitive industries. For Bihar’s beauty and personal care sector, this marks the beginning of a natural, science-led revolution—one rooted in local values but built for a global future.

ThrillOnHills Consolidates Leadership in Char Dham Travel as Kedarnath Temple Opening Sets the Tone for Yatra 2026


India’s religious tourism sector continues to witness steady and structured growth, with the Char Dham Yatra remaining at the heart of spiritual travel in the country. As pilgrim numbers increase every year, the expectations of travelers have also evolved. Safety, comfort, regulatory compliance, and professional journey management are now key decision factors for devotees planning the sacred Himalayan pilgrimage. In this changing landscape, ThrillOnHills has further strengthened its position as a trusted and organized Char Dham travel operator, especially as preparations intensify for the Char Dham Yatra 2026 following the official announcement of the Kedarnath Temple opening.
The Badri Kedar Temple Committee has confirmed that the gates of Kedarnath Dham will open on April 22, 2026, marking the beginning of the peak Char Dham Yatra season. As per traditional customs and astrological calculations, the opening ceremony will take place around 6:20 AM, accompanied by Vedic chanting, temple rituals, and religious offerings. This announcement has triggered heightened activity across Uttarakhand’s pilgrimage ecosystem, as lakhs of devotees from across India and abroad begin planning their journeys well in advance.

Ahead of the temple opening, the revered Doli Yatra of Lord Kedarnath will commence from Ukhimath and reach the shrine on the evening of April 21, 2026, following customary halts along the route. Simultaneously, Yamunotri and Gangotri temples are scheduled to open on April 19, 2026, on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, officially initiating the Char Dham circuit. With a limited pilgrimage window and challenging mountain conditions, advance planning has become crucial for both pilgrims and travel operators.

In this environment, ThrillOnHills stands out as a Pan India travel management company with deep roots in Uttarakhand’s religious tourism sector. Founded in 2010, the company has supported over 50 lakh pilgrim journeys over the years, demonstrating its ability to manage large-scale travel in demanding Himalayan terrain. Every year, ThrillOnHills facilitates travel for more than 15,000 devotees to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, Gangotri, and extended spiritual destinations such as Tungnath.

A key strength of ThrillOnHills lies in its end-to-end journey management model. The company takes complete responsibility for the yatra, including mandatory registrations, accommodation, transportation, local guides, and on-ground coordination. This structured approach significantly reduces the burden on pilgrims, allowing them to focus on their spiritual purpose rather than logistical challenges. A dedicated operations team and 24×7 customer support system ensure continuous assistance during emergencies, weather disruptions, or itinerary changes.

ThrillOnHills is a government-approved travel firm with multiple branches across different parts of India. Its presence in major cities enables personalized pre-travel guidance, smoother communication, and faster issue resolution. The company also maintains one of the strongest B2B Char Dham networks, working closely with local hoteliers, transport providers, helicopter service operators, and trained ground staff. This collaboration helps maintain consistent service quality even during peak yatra periods when demand is at its highest.

Financial accessibility is another area where ThrillOnHills has gained the trust of pilgrims. Understanding that spiritual travel should be inclusive, the company allows bookings with a minimum advance amount and offers part-payment facilities through installments. These traveler-friendly policies have resulted in a high percentage of repeat guests and referral-based clients, strengthening the company’s credibility in the religious tourism sector.

Recognizing the uncertainties associated with mountain travel, ThrillOnHills also offers short-term cancellation policies and flexible travel dates. These provisions address common concerns related to health issues, unpredictable weather, and personal emergencies. Additionally, the company places strong emphasis on pre-travel education, offering practical advice on acclimatization, health precautions, packing essentials, and darshan planning to ensure a safer pilgrimage experience.

With growing demand for faster and less physically demanding travel options, ThrillOnHills facilitates helicopter ticket bookings for Kedarnath and other applicable sectors. These services are seamlessly integrated into customized tour packages, particularly benefiting senior citizens, families, and physically challenged devotees, while maintaining transparency and coordinated execution.

As Char Dham Yatra 2026 approaches, industry observers expect a significant surge in pilgrim movement. With its scalable systems, experienced professionals, and traveler-centric policies, ThrillOnHills is well positioned to support the upcoming season. By combining spiritual sensitivity with professional travel management, the company continues to play an important role in shaping a more structured, safe, and trustworthy future for religious tourism in Uttarakhand.
