Celebrated global author, speaker and purpose coach Jay Shetty, along with his wife Radhi Devlukia Shetty, a well- known plant based culinary expert and wellness advocate, attended the showcase as supporters of the initiative.</div><div> </div><div>Widely recognised for his books, podcasts and global work on mindfulness and wellbeing and huge social media following of billions of views Jay Shetty has been a strong advocate of conscious and sustainable living. Radhi Shetty, through her culinary and wellness platforms, has consistently promoted natural, traditional and holistic food practices that align closely with the vision of Native Food Matters. The Director of ISKCON’s Govardhan Ecovillage and Strategic Head for the Native Food Matters initiative, Gauranga Das said “Jay Shetty and Radhi Shetty are generously supporting the ‘Native Food Matters’ initiative through their philanthropic contributions  and this has added visibility to the initiative and underscored the relevance of reconnecting with India’s native food heritage.”</div><div> </div><div>Located in the foothills of the Sahyadris, Govardhan Ecovillage has emerged as a recognised model of ecological living, supported by solar powered infrastructure, rainwater harvesting systems, biogas units and a rare seed bank. Through Native Food Matters, GEV is working to revive India’s traditional food knowledge and promote a conscious food system that is healthier, culturally rooted and environmentally responsible.</div><div> </div><div>Global food systems are under increasing strain. Industrial food practices have weakened local ecosystems, displaced indigenous food cultures and intensified nutritional challenges worldwide. With 733 million people facing hunger globally (FAO, 2023) and agriculture contributing 26 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, there is a growing recognition that indigenous food wisdom offers vital guidance towards resilient, plant-based nutrition and sustainable food systems.</div><div> </div><div>Responding to these challenges, Govardhan Ecovillage has been working with knowledge partners Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad led by Prof Ranjan Kumar Ghoshand and team, and Symbiosis School of Culinary Arts and Nutritional Sciences led by Prof Atul Gokhale and team, to develop a holistic approach that integrates culinary heritage, community participation and policy level thinking.</div><div> </div><div>“Food is not merely nutrition. It represents identity, ecology, equity and consciousness. Native Food Matters aims to translate this integrated understanding into action in public life,” said Gauranga Das, Director, Govardhan Ecovillage.</div><div> </div><div>A central highlight of the event was the Palghar Thali, developed after nearly a year of research on indigenous ingredients, traditional cooking techniques and seasonal food patterns of the region. Jay and Radhi Shetty, along with other guests, were among the first to experience the Thali, which reflects the campaign’s emphasis on local, nutritious and flavourful food traditions.</div><div> </div><div>The Palghar Thali forms part of the larger Meri Maati Meri Thali movement, which celebrates India’s regional food diversity by rediscovering native crops and recipes across states. The Palghar pilot includes nutrition festivals, community outreach and awareness programmes, particularly engaging women and children from tribal and rural communities.</div><div> </div><div>The event also marked the launch of the Palghar Coffee Table Book, documenting the district’s culinary heritage, traditional ingredients and recipes. Visitors to Govardhan Ecovillage can further experience regional cuisine through the Madan Mohan Thali at Govinda’s Restaurant every weekend, a curated offering highlighting the health and ecological value of traditional Indian food.</div><div> </div><div>Native Food Matters has been active for over a year and is now preparing to expand its research, advocacy and implementation efforts across India, with the long-term goal of making conscious food a mainstream and aspirational lifestyle.</div>

Authored by renowned Functional Neurosurgeon Dr. Sharan Srinivasan and Neurorehabilitation expert Dr. Prathiba Sharan, the trilogy + Handbook proposes a paradigm shift from a "symptom-based" to a "function-based" justice system.</div><div><br></div><div>“The Neuro Justice Trilogy”, was formally launched by Justice Aravind Kumar, Judge, Supreme Court of India, at a high-level gathering of judicial, medical, policy, and law-enforcement leaders. The event was presided over by Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, and held in the august presence of Justice R. V. Raveendran, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India.</div><div><br></div><div>The Lokarpana was attended by Rudrappa Lamani, Deputy Speaker, Karnataka Legislative Assembly; Justice A. V. Chandrashekar, Former Judge, High Court of Karnataka; Seemanth Kumar Singh, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru; Dr. Manas Panigrahi, President, Neurological Society of India; Dr. V. D. Sinha, Former 2nd VP World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and President-Elect of the Asian-Australasian Society of Neurological Surgeons (AASNS); and Padmashri K. Y. Venkatesh, Paralympian and Disability Ambassador, PRS Neurosciences reflecting the cross-sector relevance of neurological justice.</div><div><br></div><div>The Chief Guest, Justice Aravind Kumar, Judge of the Supreme Court of India, performed the formal Lokarpana of the books. He emphasized that the work symbolizes the meaningful intersection of law, neuroscience, and ethics. "His presence symbolizes the growing importance of interdisciplinary dialogue in shaping future justice systems".</div><div><br></div><div>Justice R. V. Raveendran, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, who has given many landmark judgements in MVC cases during his tenure, lauded the authors for their scholarly depth. He noted that the trilogy adds "exceptional intellectual gravitas" to the event and provides a much-needed roadmap for judges to navigate the complexities of neurological disabilities.</div><div><br></div><div>Presiding over the function, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, highlighted the framework’s relevance to public health. He stated that the government places high value on thought leadership that integrates medical science with ethical governance to improve the lives of citizens.</div><div><br></div><div>Rudrappa Lamani, Deputy Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, who himself has just survived and recovered from a devastating Road Traffic Accident (RTA) with both brain and spinal cord injuries, noted that the legislature recognizes these emerging intersections as vital for social equity and inclusive governance. Having recovered and gone back to his seat as the Deputy Speaker, he spoke about the urgent need of establishing affordable multi-disciplinary neuro rehabilitation centres in all Districts in Karnataka and how even he was unaware of the presence of rehabilitation centres such as PRS Neurosciences.</div><div><br></div><div>The "Neuro Justice" Movement: From Operating Room to Courtroom</div><div><br></div><div>The authors shared the deeply personal journey that led to this work. Dr. Sharan Srinivasan, Functional Neurosurgeon and Author, reflected on the journey from emergency rooms to courtrooms “We have seen patients survive trauma, only to lose justice because their ‘hardware’ and ‘software’ impairments and their ‘functional impacts’ were invisible on pape r as well as in real life. Neuro Justice exists to translate brain science into judicially usable truth.”</div><div><br></div><div>Dr. Prathiba Sharan, co-author and CEO of PRS Neurosciences, emphasized the "invisible disability" that often remains unseen and uncompensated, such as damaged memory, empathy, and behavior. “Function is how a person lives, thinks, decides, works and belongs. When assessments ignore this, families pay the price. This trilogy brings rehabilitation, neuropsychology and law into one shared language.” she noted.</div><div><br></div><div>Introducing the Neuro Justice Framework (NJF) v1.0</div><div><br></div><div>The highlight of the launch was the introduction of the NJF v1.0, India’s first operational model for measuring functional disability. This is a patent-pending work and the key features include:</div><div><br></div><div>● The TAPS System: A Tri-Axis Participation System measuring Individual, Family, and Societal functioning.</div><div><br></div><div>● The NJF Triad: The NJF Triad uses three linked engines to measure who the person was before injury, what function can be realistically restored, and how compensation should enable that restoration.</div><div><br></div><div>● Scientific Accuracy: Integration of WHO-FIC family of classifications and the RPwD Act 2016 into everyday legal practice.</div><div><br></div><div>A Multi-Disciplinary Consensus</div><div><br></div><div>The event featured insights from diverse experts, including:</div><div><br></div><div>● Seemanth Kumar Singh (Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru) on the practical relevance of neuroscience in criminal justice and behavioral understanding.</div><div><br></div><div>● Dr. V. D. Sinha and Dr. Manas Panigrahi (Neurological Society of India) on the scientific authority, the long-standing need for such a detailed book and the clinical relevance of the trilogy, even for the neurosurgeons and other medical professionals who are dealing with MVC cases and the judicial system.</div><div><br></div><div>● Padmashri K. Y.
