Embassy extends its deepest condolences to the family members of the deceased crew member.”</div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, India’s Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) has, as a precautionary measure, declared the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman as high-risk areas.

The welfare of our diaspora is our highest priority. The Prime Minister has spoken with leaders of several countries in the region, including the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Israel.

Dabur Vatika Challenges the Language of Diminishment with #VatikaIAmMore Campaign

The powerful new campaign identifies and challenges the subtle linguistic biases—specifically the word "just" and unnecessary gendered prefixes—that have long diminished women’s professional and personal achievements.</div><div><br></div><div>Across industries, women are frequently introduced through the lens of their gender rather than their merit: Female cricketer, Woman CEO, or Female actor. Furthermore, their successes are often qualified by the word “just”—just lucky, just emotional, or just a woman. </div><div><br></div><div>#VatikaIAmMore seeks to strip away these qualifiers, reframing the narrative to celebrate the ambition, courage, and multifaceted identities of women.</div><div><br></div><div>At Vatika, we have always believed that a woman’s identity is deep and multi-dimensional. The #VatikaIAmMore campaign is our way of standing against the subtle boxes society tries to put women in. We want to spark a global conversation that moves beyond 'just'—because a woman isn't 'just' anything; she is a force of nature, a leader, and a creator. We are proud to provide a platform where women can celebrate their 'more'." Dabur India Limited Marketing Head- Hair Care Mr. Ankur Kumar said.  </div><div><br></div><div>The campaign is centered around a poignant film that illustrates how language shapes perception. By showcasing how a single word can quietly undermine years of hard work, the film invites women to reclaim their identities and declare that they are far more than the labels imposed upon them.</div><div><br></div><div>"Language is a mirror of societal bias. Over the years, I’ve noticed how prefixes like ‘female’ or ‘woman’ quietly follow women’s achievements, shifting the focus from merit to gender .For too long, the word 'just' has been used as a tool to minimize the monumental impact women have across all walks of life," said Anupama Ramaswamy, Chief Creative Officer and Managing Director, Havas Creative India. "With #VatikaIAmMore, we are questioning the instinct to prefix every achievement with gender, reminding the world that merit has no gender."</div><div><br></div><div>Dabur Vatika is inviting women across the globe to join the conversation on social media by sharing their personal stories of what "more" means to them. By using the hashtag #VatikaIAmMore, the initiative aims to turn a marketing campaign into a collective anthem of individuality and resilience.</div>

Additionally, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has also supported the upgradation of 16 Government ITIs across the Marathwada and Nagpur Divisions. This collaborative effort aims to empower rural youth by equipping them with world class technical skills, enabling them to become highly competent technicians and contribute meaningfully to India’s industrial growth.</div><div><br></div><div>The new roadmap in Maharashtra will focus on three key pillars:</div><div>● Faculty Development: Train-the-Trainer (T3) programs, knowledge enhancement sessions, and skill-building workshops hosted at Toyota’s Bidadi facility.</div><div>● Lab Equipment, Upgradation of Workshop and Materials: Industry-relevant tools, including Fundamental Skill Training (FST) kits, dexterity modules, visual learning boards and other standardized content will be provided.</div><div>● Culture Transformation: Introduction of body-and-mind development routines such as daily discipline exercises, classroom ethics and Toyota’s globally adopted 5S, environment awareness and safety protocols. Alongside technical training, the focus is on developing youth who embody values such as discipline, humility, gratitude and a mindset of serving others, ultimately becoming good corporate citizens of the Country. Further, the initiative will be sustained through regular audits, feedback and stakeholder involvement.</div><div><br></div><div>The program is rolled out in three phases to ensure maximum impact:</div><div>● Phase 1 (2025–26): 17 ITIs in the Marathwada and Nagpur divisions. [Completed]</div><div>● Phase 2 (2026–28): Expansion into Amravati and Nashik divisions </div><div>● Phase 3 (2029–30): Coverage of institutes in Mumbai and Pune divisions</div><div><br></div><div>Under this partnership, the upgraded Government ITI Deogiri, has been developed as a demonstration model for implementing a structured, scalable skilling framework across the state. The initiative is part of TKM’s broader commitment to support the development of 45 ITIs across 36 districts of the state of Maharashtra by 2030.</div><div><br></div><div>Additionally, from this academic year onwards, the institute will offer both manufacturing and service skill sets, ensuring broader employability opportunities aligned with the evolving automotive industry.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking at the occasion, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister of Skill, Employment, Entrepreneurship & Innovation. Government of Maharashtra said “Our youth are the foundation of Maharashtra’s future and by nurturing their skills and aspirations, we are building a self-reliant society. This collaboration with TKM reflects our commitment to providing young people with industry-relevant training that enhances their confidence, employability and contribution to nation-building. Such initiatives ensures that our students are ready for the future to drive the country's growth story."</div><div><br></div><div>Expressing his thoughts, Vikram Gulati, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Governance, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said “At Toyota Kirloskar Motor, we firmly believe that the youth in rural India deserve the same opportunities as those in urban centers. Our vision is to empower them with world class technical capabilities so they can excel in their careers and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress. Guided by our philosophy of ‘Grow India, Grow with India’ and our mission of ‘Producing Happiness for All’, this initiative underscores our commitment to strengthening skilling at the grassroots level. As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, we are dedicated to enabling equitable access to industry relevant skills that uplift communities and build a more resilient future.”</div><div><br></div><div>The ITI upgradation initiative complements the Government of India’s Skill India Mission, which is focused on strengthening ITIs and empowering youth with future-ready skills.
