00:01:58Hello, another episode of Good News.
00:02:00I, Shehla Nigar, am once again among you all, and today's
00:02:04good news is very special. It's special
00:02:07because it's based on stories that
00:02:10Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned in the 138th
00:02:13episode of Mann Ki Baat. So let's see what are
00:02:17the highlights of today's program.
00:02:20History hidden in stones, A. Selvaju
00:02:24engaged in the search for heritage with students.
00:02:26From the village pitch to the country's jersey, the initiative
00:02:30to refine hockey spirit. The jungle's vibrancy returned
00:02:33in Assam, the return of elephants, the growing population of pygmy hogs.
00:02:36The sweetness of success in the sourness
00:02:40of Amla, the increased earnings of women
00:02:43in Pratapgarh, the public campaign for nutrition,
00:02:46Munga in Chhattisgarh, Millets in Gujarat.
00:02:49Ganesh devotion resonating in Thailand, a unique
00:02:53confluence of Indian culture. They say
00:02:55that a society that knows its past can secure a better future
00:02:59for itself. And the soil of our country holds
00:03:03many such chapters that appear sometimes in temples,
00:03:07sometimes in stones. But the question is, how to find
00:03:10them? So, such an initiative has been started. Who started
00:03:14it? How was it started? Let's
00:03:16find out.
00:03:23Now it's rebar Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu,
00:03:26history, culture and ancient heritage.
00:03:52Amla is put in this.
00:04:00Where are these idols, what is their history,
00:04:03and what is the story hidden behind them?
00:04:07Curiosity grew, so a discussion ensued, and from that discussion
00:04:10came a decision: to go out of the classroom
00:04:12and explore history on the ground. After
00:04:15that, the series of field visits began. E. Silva Raju
00:04:19and his team reached various locations,
00:04:23where they found many ancient idols, old
00:04:26temples, and invaluable signs of our
00:04:30cultural heritage. Every idol seemed to tell a story
00:04:34of its own. Somewhere, the intricate
00:04:37artistry on stones, somewhere the architectural style
00:04:41of a temple, and somewhere a glimpse
00:04:44of centuries-old traditions. In other words,
00:04:47the history that we often only search for in the pages of books
00:04:50is still present among these villages, temples, and
00:04:54idols today. My interest
00:04:56began with questions about the name of my village,
00:05:01Thazhuga Pathar Pettai,
00:05:04and also what connection the three or four surrounding villages
00:05:08have with the name Thazhuga. This inspired me
00:05:12to find out about the history and origin of the name.
00:05:15After becoming a professor, I trained in epigraphy
00:05:19and began studying inscriptions. The initial efforts
00:05:23motivated us to document inscriptions,
00:05:26sculptures, hero stones, and other archaeological
00:05:30and cultural remains found in different parts of Tamil Nadu.
00:05:34Now we are working with students
00:05:37in the Manapparai area.
00:05:41The special thing about this entire initiative is not
00:05:43just that ancient
00:05:46idols and temples are being discovered, but that it is paving the way
00:05:50for the new generation to connect with its past.
00:05:53Because heritage is not just old
00:05:57buildings or stones, heritage
00:06:00is our language, our art,
00:06:04our traditions, our architecture
00:06:07and the stories that connect
00:06:11us to our roots generation after generation.
00:06:14A. Silvaraju's effort is to make
00:06:18young people understand that knowing history
00:06:22is not just necessary to pass exams, but also
00:06:26to understand one's identity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
00:06:30in the 128th edition of Mann Ki Baat,
00:06:34while mentioning this effort, put forward this initiative
00:06:37to connect with the past. Actually,
00:06:40when a teacher goes
00:06:44with his students to search for history,
00:06:48he doesn't just find old idols, he finds a way
00:06:51for the coming generation to reach its roots.
00:06:55And this is the beauty
00:06:58of India's vibrant tradition, where
00:07:01the past guides today, and today hands over
00:07:05its heritage to the future.
00:07:08This story from Manapparai in Tamil Nadu gives
00:07:11us a very important message:
00:07:14to know your past, you don't always need to go
00:07:17to a big museum. Sometimes history
00:07:21is present all around us. All that is needed
00:07:25is the eye to see it, the curiosity
00:07:28to understand it, and the determination
00:07:32to pass it on to the next generation.
00:07:33A. Silvaraju's
00:07:36initiative is a beautiful
00:07:39example of this determination. For Ba
00:07:42India, Bureau Report from Tamil Nadu, DD
00:07:45News.
00:07:51They say that the talent of the country is not limited to big cities and big stadiums,
00:07:55but in villages and towns there are many such stars
00:07:59who, if polished and given opportunities,
00:08:03can achieve great things. And Rajinder Singh
00:08:06of Punjab is doing something similar. His life
00:08:10has been dedicated to hockey.
00:08:12Let's see how he is nurturing new stars. Let's
00:08:15see.
00:08:21The sporting talent of the country is not limited to big cities and big stadiums.
00:08:24In the villages and towns of India, there are also
00:08:28many such stars who just need the right opportunity
00:08:32and the right guidance. And when someone takes
00:08:35on the task of finding and nurturing these talents
00:08:39with their experience, passion, and dedication, many dreams take flight.
00:08:42Rajinder Singh ji is such an inspiring example.
00:08:46The 'Senior' attached to Rajinder ji's name
00:08:49is not just his identity, but a story of the glorious
00:08:52history of Indian hockey. Rajinder Singh ji,
00:08:55who was part of the Indian hockey team that won the gold medal
00:08:59in the 1980 Olympics, brought glory to the country on the field.
00:09:02His brilliant performance in the 1982
00:09:05World Cup was also remarkable, but his journey did not
00:09:09stop there. In 2001, India won the Men's Junior
00:09:12World Cup title for the first time, and in 2003,
00:09:16they also captured the Senior Asia Cup. In both
00:09:19these historic achievements, Rajinder Singh ji played the role of coach.
00:09:22That is, after playing for the country as a player,
00:09:26he took up the mission of preparing the next generation
00:09:30of players. Today,
00:09:32his passion is reaching every village through the Round Glass Hockey Academy.
00:09:36His focus is very clear: to reach those villages
00:09:40where children have talent but lack good coaching
00:09:44and sports facilities. New hockey astroturfs
00:09:47are being prepared in the villages, children are being trained,
00:09:51and talents are getting a way to reach bigger platforms.
00:09:55The result is that many of the children whose hockey dreams
00:09:58were once limited to the village streets are now making
00:10:01their place in India's junior and senior levels.
00:10:05Currently,
00:10:09I am working at the grassroots level with Round Glass,
00:10:13and in Mohali, we have mostly covered all the districts,
00:10:16which include our centers and our coaches,
00:10:19and three to four thousand players play daily
00:10:23in Round Glass. And I believe that in the coming time,
00:10:27every player from Round Glass will play
00:10:30for Punjab and for India, bringing honor. So I believe
00:10:34that as a coach, as a mentor, I will be very happy
00:10:38that the players we are preparing will bring
00:10:40glory
00:10:47to their country. This is the true power of sports: to recognize talent,
00:10:50give it opportunities,
00:10:54to play for the country.
00:11:25background, in which Khelo India, Sports
00:11:28Authority of India, they have given a lot of support,
00:11:31which has benefited the players a lot, and there has been performance too.
00:11:35So in the coming time, a sports industry should be formed,
00:11:38and players
00:11:41will take more interest and bring
00:11:44medals. Prime Minister in the 138th
00:11:48edition of Mann Ki Baat, mentioned Rajinder Singh
00:11:51ji's dedication and efforts to find hockey talent from villages.
00:11:55This journey of Rajinder Singh ji, from a player to a coach
00:11:59and from a coach to a mentor who discovers talent,
00:12:03is a story of strengthening the future of Indian hockey.
00:12:06Good News Jazba India, Report by Gopal Singh Sindhu from Punjab, DD
00:12:10News.
00:12:15So, Rajinder Singh is working to give flight
00:12:19to many dreams
00:14:58After the break, once again, a very warm welcome to all of you. You are watching Good News
00:15:01Jazba India, and now we show you the story of nature conservation.
00:15:05Once, elephants had moved away from the forest,
00:15:08and this little creature
00:15:11was on the verge of extinction. But when humans removed encroachment
00:15:15from nature's path, the forests began to thrive again.
00:15:19How are elephants returning, how is the number
00:15:22of pygmy hogs increasing? Let's see.
00:15:31Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam. This
00:15:35area used to be bustling with elephants.
00:15:39But with time, human encroachment on forest land increased.
00:15:42Slowly, elephants also distanced
00:15:46themselves from this area. The forest fell silent.
00:15:49But hope remained. About 3 years
00:15:52ago, this land was freed from encroachment.
00:15:55The forest got a chance to breathe again, and now
00:15:59the amazing results are in front of us. Elephants
00:16:02have returned. On the paths where their presence had not been seen
00:16:06for years, today herds of elephants are seen again.
00:16:09This is not just the return of elephants,
00:16:13but the return of the trust that if nature is given a chance,
00:16:17it can rejuvenate itself. Not only
00:16:20that, another inspiring story of nature conservation
00:16:23is being written in Assam. This time
00:16:25the story is of a very small creature, the pygmy hog.
00:16:29This tiny creature was once struggling for its existence.
00:16:34was started with just six pygmy hogs. These small
00:16:38creatures were given a safe environment, they were resettled in the forests,
00:16:42and their natural habitat, the grasslands,
00:16:46were also nurtured. The result
00:16:48is that the number that was once just six
00:16:52has now increased to more than 190.
00:16:55That means a small
00:16:59has opened a new path of hope for an entire species.
00:17:02And that is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the conservation
00:17:06of nature in the 138th episode of Mann Ki Baat.
00:17:09Whether it is the return of elephants or the increasing number of pygmy
00:17:13hogs, these images from Assam send a big
00:17:16message: if forests survive, wildlife
00:17:20will survive, and if wildlife survives, the balance of nature
00:17:23will also be maintained. This picture of human
00:17:27partnership with nature further strengthens India's
00:17:30commitment to environmental
00:17:32protection. Good News Jazba India, Report by Momita Biswas from Assam,
00:17:36DD News.
00:17:39And now we show you
00:17:46the story of the courage and determination of women
00:17:49from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh. How the sourness of Amla
00:17:53is now also tasting sweet, how their employment is taking
00:17:57flight, and sources of income are increasing.
00:18:00Pickles,
00:18:06preserves, candies, juices, and Chyawanprash.
00:18:10Amla has been a familiar
00:18:13part of our kitchen and daily life
00:18:16for a long time. But in Pratapgarh,
00:18:19Uttar Pradesh, this Amla is now not
00:18:22limited to just taste and health, but
00:18:25is writing a new story of employment
00:18:28and self-reliance. The relationship between Pratapgarh
00:18:31and Amla is centuries old. Generations of farmers
00:18:34here have been cultivating Amla. That is why
00:18:38Amla has become a special identity of Pratapgarh.
00:18:42This identity received a new boost
00:18:46with One District One Product (ODOP).
00:18:48Local enterprises involved in Amla processing
00:18:52were promoted, and today, about 100 processing
00:18:55units are working in Pratapgarh.
00:18:59The participation of women associated with Self Help Groups
00:19:02is also continuously increasing. The Savitri
00:19:05Phule Self Help Group of Devgarh
00:19:09Kamasi village is an example of this. Here,
00:19:12women are preparing Amla candy, preserve, and juice.
00:19:16The role of women has increased in the process from preparing
00:19:19the product to taking it to the market, and their income has also
00:19:23increased with their association with new markets.
00:19:26This is a barfi machine.
00:19:29It grinds the barfi, meaning it grinds
00:19:33the Amla, and we put that Amla in a pot
00:19:37and cook it. After cooking, we take it out,
00:19:40and when it cools down, we cut it like barfi,
00:19:44and my barfi is ready, sir. Meanwhile, in another
00:19:47village, women of the Binduwasni Self Help
00:19:51Group are preparing several products like Amla
00:19:55pickle and digestive powder. They received machinery
00:19:58for processing, loan facilities, and an opportunity
00:20:01to reach the market through local trade fairs.
00:20:05So,
00:20:38if connected with the market, it can bring a big change
00:20:41in the village economy. On one side, Amla
00:20:44cultivation, on the other side, its processing,
00:20:48and on the third side, the hard work of women.
00:20:52All this together is creating a new identity for Pratapgarh's
00:20:56Amla. The sourness of Amla is now also dissolving
00:20:59into the sweetness of success, and these women of Pratapgarh
00:21:02are showing that when local produce is combined with local
00:21:06skill, the story of self-reliance goes a long
00:21:09way. Good News Jazba India, Report by Ashutosh
00:21:12Shukla from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, DD
00:21:16News.
00:21:20So you saw how Amla, which has been cultivated
00:21:23for generations in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, has now become
00:21:27a means of employment and entrepreneurship
00:23:57welcome to all of you. You are watching Good News Jazba India.
00:24:01They say that when a nutrition campaign is joined by public participation,
00:24:05then change reaches every home.
00:24:08And Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the 138th episode of Mann Ki Baat,
00:24:12praised such campaigns and efforts,
00:24:16whether it is Chhattisgarh's "Har Ghar Munga, Ghar Ghar
00:24:20Munga" campaign or Gujarat's
00:24:22Vangi
00:24:31These colorful pictures of children at Anganwadi centers,
00:24:35some are making fruits, some vegetables, and through
00:24:39these small steps, a big message is being given:
00:24:42adopt nutritious food, stay healthy.
00:24:45In the Akaltara project area
00:24:49of Janjgir-Champa, the "Har Ghar
00:24:52Munga, Ghar Ghar Munga" campaign is being given the form of a mass movement.
00:24:55Emerging from Anganwadi centers, its reach
00:24:58is now extending to the courtyards of village homes.
00:25:01In the Akaltara project area
00:25:04of Janjgir-Champa, the "Har Ghar Munga, Ghar Ghar Munga"
00:25:07campaign is being given the form of a mass movement. Emerging from Anganwadi centers,
00:25:11its reach is now extending
00:25:14to the courtyards of village homes. In the villages
00:25:17of Taga, Tilai,
00:25:20Sada, Kapan, Mudpar, Sachpali, and
00:25:24Mohadi, Munga plants are being distributed
00:25:27to women and rural families door-to-door.
00:25:30People are not just being given plants,
00:25:33but are also being told how to plant them,
00:25:37how to care for them, and how to improve nutrition
00:25:41by including Munga in daily meals.
00:25:44One plant,
00:25:46one home,
00:25:49and with it, the hope of better health
00:25:53for the entire family. Munga, or drumstick,
00:25:56is a local food source
00:25:59that can be easily grown in the courtyard
00:26:03of a house. And that is why the focus of this campaign
00:26:06is not just on tree planting, but on connecting
00:26:09nutrition with the family's daily routine. The most
00:26:13special thing about this initiative is its public participation.
00:26:17Women are coming forward, families are planting saplings,
00:26:20and Anganwadi centers are becoming centers
00:26:23of nutrition awareness. A small plant
00:26:27whose roots are in the soil, but the hope is for the health
00:26:30of the entire family. The message of 'Har Ghar Munga'
00:26:34is now not just a campaign, but an initiative taking
00:26:38shape with people's participation, where greenery in every courtyard,
00:26:42nutrition in every plate, and the hope of a healthy
00:26:45life in every family is visible.
00:26:49Sometimes in the kitchen of the house, and sometimes
00:26:52in the traditional thali of the village, millets
00:26:56have been a part of our diet for centuries. Currently,
00:26:59an interesting initiative to connect millets with taste,
00:27:03health, and public participation is taking place in Gujarat.
00:27:07This is a scene from an unique Vangi
00:27:10competition that has started in Gujarat, which is a competition
00:27:14of delicious and nutritious dishes made from millets.
00:27:17The aim is to promote local grains, to provide nutritious
00:27:20food at low cost to people, and to make
00:27:24millets a part of daily meals. The special thing
00:27:28about this initiative is that here it is not just a competition,
00:27:31but a festival of public participation regarding traditional
00:27:34food and nutrition. So far, more than two lakh people
00:27:38have participated in this competition. Through public participation,
00:27:42we are making people aware for the creation of a nutritious
00:27:46society. Our current theme is 'Our
00:27:50Anganwadi, Our Responsibility', under which we are working
00:27:53in 1055 Anganwadis in Tapi district. That means
00:27:57in the kitchen of Gujarat, there is the taste of millets,
00:28:00the message of health, and a new effort to promote
00:28:04food. Because when the message
00:28:08of nutrition reaches every home, the foundation of a healthy
00:28:11society also strengthens.
00:28:14Good News Jazba India, Report by Suman Burana from Gujarat
00:28:18and Rupesh Kumar Kamwar, along with Manoj Sunene
00:28:21from Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh, DD
00:28:25News.
00:28:25In India, the tradition
00:28:31of worshipping Lord Ganesha is centuries old.
00:28:35Across the country, different forms of Ganesha and the stories
00:28:38associated with him are part of a rich cultural
00:28:42heritage.
00:28:42The same faith came
00:28:48into the life of Panthon Thira Khanon of Thailand.
00:28:51At just 19 years of age, his father gave him
00:28:55a picture of Lord Ganesha. This connection began
00:28:58and later became a lifelong devotion to understanding
00:29:02India's Ganesh tradition. He traveled to India,
00:29:06went to Nepal and many countries in Asia, but had
00:29:10a special connection with the Ashtavinayak tradition of Maharashtra.
00:29:14This effort took permanent shape in 2002
00:29:17when he established the Ganesh Himal Museum in Chiang
00:29:20Mai, Northern Thailand. Here, there are more than 10,000
00:29:24idols of Lord Ganesha, including various artistic
00:29:27styles and Ashtavinayak idols. Every Sunday,
00:29:31prayers are offered here, and rituals
00:29:35are also performed on special occasions. That is why Prime Minister
00:29:38Narendra Modi mentioned this inspiring journey
00:29:41in the 138th episode of Mann Ki Baat. This museum in Chiang
00:29:45Mai is a beautiful example of culture,
00:29:48devotion, and relations
00:29:50between India and Thailand.
00:29:55So you see how Indian culture is thriving
00:29:58in other countries. We leave you with these beautiful
00:30:02pictures. Please grant permission to me and our entire team. Namaskar.
