</div><br></div><div>Mumbai: The birth of a baby girl in the Jha family is being seen not merely as a moment of familial joy, but as a spiritually significant event deeply connected with faith, Sanatan traditions, and divine blessings. The child’s father, Sonu Kumar Jha, a devoted follower of Lord Mahadev and a firm believer in Sanatan values, considers the entire experience as a special grace of God.</div><div>According to Sonu Kumar Jha, as soon as his wife Ekta Jha completed nine months of pregnancy, an atmosphere of excitement and positive energy enveloped the family. Coincidentally, Gupt Navratri was underway, and the daughter was born on the third day of Navratri. This rare alignment proved to be an intensely emotional and spiritual experience for the family. Upon receiving the news of his daughter’s birth, Sonu Kumar Jha became emotional at the hospital itself and described the moment as the arrival of divine feminine energy on earth.</div><div>He believes that the timing of his daughter’s birth was not ordinary, but a sacred and divinely chosen moment, which he sees as the incarnation of a blessed soul. For this reason, he regards his daughter as a form of Goddess Lakshmi. Since her birth, he has experienced several positive changes in his life, with long-stalled paths opening up, along with increased respect, new opportunities, and a sense of overall positivity.</div><div>All rituals and ceremonies related to the birth were performed at auspicious times. </div><div>Sonu Kumar Jha shared that there was no need to consult an external priest, as his father Shri Ramchandra Jha, a scholar well-versed in religious scriptures, personally determined all the auspicious timings in accordance with tradition and faith.</div><div>To celebrate the birth of his daughter, Sonu Kumar Jha hosted a grand celebration at GCC Club & Hotel, Mira Road, Thane, Maharashtra. The event was attended by several prominent personalities who extended their congratulations, including film producer Sohail Maklai (producer of Kangana Ranaut-starrer Dhaakad), film director Aman Arora, actor Ksshitij Singh, actress Sangeeta Tiwari, and corporator Vivek Upadhyay. Cultural performers and professional dancers added to the vibrancy of the celebration. The overall arrangements, presentation, and disciplined management of the event were widely appreciated.</div><div>On this occasion, Sonu Kumar Jha expressed heartfelt gratitude to his entire family and in-laws. Family members from Delhi and Bihar arrived promptly to be part of the celebration. The presence of his nephew from Pune, the active involvement of his elderly father, and his supervision throughout the event made the occasion deeply emotional for the family. Sonu Kumar Jha described the support of his father-in-law Brij Mohan Jha, maternal uncle Ashok Jha, sister-in-law Mohni Jha, Soni Jha, and other relatives as truly unforgettable.</div><div>Sonu Kumar Jha also plays an active role in social and public life. After completing his LL.B., he has been engaged in social service for a long time. While residing in Mumbai, he discreetly assists those in need and prefers to stay away from publicity. Despite being politically active, he considers himself deeply rooted in service, values, and cultural traditions.</div><div><br></div><div>— Gayatri Sahu</div>

</div><br></div><div>The musical underscores the transformative power of theatre in building confidence, enhancing communication skills, and fostering self-expression among young learners.</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: After enchanting audiences last year with their performance, the students of Mumbai’s municipal schools are set to return to the prestigious Kala Ghoda Arts Festival on February 1, 2026. This year, over 100 students aged 10-13 will perform "The Whispering Woods: Ishaan's Journey," an English musical that evolves the conversation from simply observing nature to actively taking responsibility for it.</div><div><br></div><div>At its core, the musical is the culmination of a year-long theatre-based learning programme championed by the Pehlay Akshar Foundation (PAF) that uses performance as a tool for language development and self-expression. Students have worked through a structured curriculum designed to strengthen communication skills, build confidence in spoken English, and nurture creativity through storytelling, music, and movement.</div><div><br></div><div>“We believe that theatre is a powerful tool for personal and social development, especially when combined with language learning. Students learn to express themselves better in English, expanding their vocabulary, refining pronunciation, and gaining a deeper understanding of the language which makes them more confident in their academic and professional lives.”</div><div><br></div><div>As part of this unique initiative, the students had the opportunity to work alongside professionals in theatre set design, drama, and acting, gaining valuable hands-on experience and exposure to the world of performing arts. "I usually spend my free time playing Roblox, so standing on a real stage is a completely new world for me,” says Shaurya, a Class 5 student from Nariyalwadi school. “I do well in English class, but acting has taught me a different kind of confidence. Even though it’s my first time and I’m a little nervous, I’m not afraid. I hope my parents see me up there, because I think I might want to be an actor one day."</div><div><br></div><div>While last year’s production invited audiences to observe nature through the eyes of animals, ‘The Whispering Woods’ shifts the focus to active responsibility. Through the journey of Ishaan, a “story catcher” traversing forests and cities, the play illustrates how small, daily choices can counter the effects of urbanisation and restore our connection to the wild.</div><div><br></div><div>The performance is open to the public and invites families, educators, and festival-goers to experience how theatre can become a bridge between language learning, environmental awareness, and youthful imagination.</div>

</div><br></div><div>Hyderabad: International Health Dialogue (IHD) 2026 opened today in Hyderabad, bringing together clinicians, patient safety leaders, accreditation experts, and health system policymakers from India and abroad. With the theme Global Voices. One Vision. Day 1 centred patient safety where it truly belongs, as a leadership and governance priority, shaped by equity and enabled by responsible digital transformation. The discussions reflected a clear direction across geographies: India’s lived experience of delivering care at scale, while steadily strengthening standards and accountability, is increasingly informing how the world thinks about patient safety and trust.</div><div><br></div><div>Opening the conference, Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, recalled the founding purpose of IHD as a platform built for sharing learning that should not remain confined to individual systems. “So much innovation is happening within our hospitals, within our systems. We are learning every day. But why is this knowledge staying within our own ecosystem? Why are we not sharing it more openly?” she said, adding that the intent has always been to “take what we have learned and make it useful for others.” Reflecting the expanding global relevance of the platform, she noted that IHD 2026 received over 5,000 registrations, 300+ paper submissions, and 120+ award entries from 75+ institutions worldwide.</div><div><br></div><div>Setting the tone for outcomes that work in real life, Dr Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary for the Industries & Commerce (I&C) and Information Technology (IT) Departments, Government of Telangana, highlighted why equity must sit at the centre of patient safety design. “When we talk about sharing learning and improving systems, we have to start with the truth that patients are not homogeneous. Different patients live in different worlds, and safety means different things in each,” he said. “An equity lens forces a design lens. If we want patient safety to hold up in the real world, we must design for those who are most vulnerable, and we must plan for continuity, access, and how people actually behave,” he added. On digital inclusion, he observed, “The digital divide is not only infrastructure. Often, the mindset divide is bigger.”</div><div><br></div><div>Across the day, speakers converged on one practical point: patient safety outcomes increasingly depend on how well the ecosystem works as a coordinated whole, across regulators, accreditors, providers, and technology partners. In the opening plenary, Dr. Madhu Sasidhar, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hospitals Division, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, emphasised shared ownership and organisational accountability. “Patient safety cannot be solved by one stakeholder alone. It requires regulators, governments, accreditors, providers, and technology firms to work as one. Patient safety is not a departmental responsibility. It is in fact an organisational leadership responsibility.”</div><div><br></div><div>From a global quality and safety lens, Dr. Carsten Engel, CEO, International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), reflected on the gap between sustained attention and on-ground improvement. “Patient safety has been on the agenda for decades, but we still have to say we are not there yet,” he said. He cautioned against adding activity without impact, noting, “We risk creating safety clutter, procedures and activities done in the name of safety that do not improve safety.” He urged leaders to adopt a systems view of behaviour and context: “Don’t ask why people didn’t do what they should have done. Ask why it made sense for them to do what they did.”</div><div><br></div><div>On standards and execution, Dr. Atul Mohan Kochhar, CEO, National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), underlined urgency with an implementation-first approach. “Patient safety is not only a technical issue. It is a moral, social, and economic imperative. Policies alone do not improve safety. Implementation efficiency does,” he said. Reinforcing ambition in measurable terms, he added, “We must be ambitious when it comes to patient safety. Zero harm is the only number that can be accepted for patient safety risk.”</div><div><br></div><div>Building on this emphasis on implementation, accountability, and measurable safety outcomes, Apollo Hospitals also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Roche Diagnostics India as part of Day 1 proceedings to explore the integration of advanced artificial intelligence into clinical decision-making. The collaboration will focus on translating AI-enabled insights into practical, clinician-friendly support across care pathways, strengthening consistency in clinical judgement, earlier risk identification, and safer, more standardised care delivery at scale.</div><div><br></div><div>Apollo’s emphasis on culture-led transformation was articulated by Dr. Rohini Sridhar, Chief of Medical Services, Apollo Hospitals, who stressed that systems improve only when clinical teams move together with the organisation. “Unless clinicians walk with you, zero harm cannot be achieved. If one unit experiences harm, every unit must learn immediately. Technology accelerates learning, but culture determines action.”</div><div><br></div><div>Later in the day, IHD 2026 hosted a dedicated spotlight session for the newly launched digital health startup community, with a curated set of startups pitching to investors. The session focused on solutions grounded in real clinical and operational gaps, including safer workflows, decision support, early risk identification, improved documentation, and scalable patient engagement. The segment reinforced IHD’s emphasis on translating innovation into validated, implementable tools that strengthen safety, outcomes, and trust.</div><div><br></div><div>IHD 2026 continues on January 31 in Hyderabad with further sessions and showcases focused on patient safety, digital transformation, healthcare operations, and clinical learning.</div>
