Yaksha Pranam in Himalayas
What if a Sherpa says, “We see prayer flags all the time. But this man, he became the prayer himself.” This became true in the case of Acharya Raghu, a native of Bengaluru, Karnataka. In the cold, windswept barrenness of Thukla Pass in the Himalayas, where the air is thin and the silence sacred, this man moved in meditative rhythm. Against the imposing backdrop of snow-capped peaks and memorial stones, 62-year-old Acharya performed an astonishing 333 rounds of Sailum style Surya Namaskar, a unique, fluid variant known as Yaksha Pranam, all within 40 minutes. The feat, both physical and spiritual, was not merely an act of endurance but a solemn tribute to the more than 300 climbers who lost their lives attempting to summit Mount Everest.
by graceful transitions and sustained breath control, offering both intensity and inner balance.
Acharya Raghu said, “I wanted to offer something meaningful to the souls who rest here. This is where dreams met their end. I wanted to offer a prayer through my body, my breath, and my devotion.” The event took place without pomp, publicity, or large audiences. A handful of witnesses, local guides, and fellow trekkers stood in reverence as he performed. For many, it felt less like a record attempt and more like a ritual.
Perched at 15,846 feet (4,830 metres), the Everest memorial at Thukla Pass is not a place where most would attempt such an intense yogic feat. The altitude itself can cause dizziness, breathlessness and fatigue, even among seasoned trekkers. Yet, Acharya Raghu chose this very place to honour those who fell short of the peak, with Surya Namaskar, the ancient yogic sequence traditionally performed at dawn to invoke energy, strength and humility.
On November 20, 2024, clad in saffron robes and surrounded by fluttering prayer flags, he began the rigorous sequence. Observers stood quietly as his body flowed through the 12-posture sequence repeatedly, undeterred by the biting wind or the thinning oxygen. Each stretch and bow seemed to echo a silent prayer, a silent salutation not just to the sun above, but to the human spirit itself, daring, yet fragile.
The achievement has now entered the India Book of Records (IBR), officially confirmed on February 25, 2025. At 62 years, 10 months and 16 days old on the day of the feat, Acharya Raghu not only exemplified extraordinary fitness for his age but also deep yogic discipline. His preferred Sailum style, developed over years of personal practice, is marked
As yoga continues to gain prominence around the world, such feats remind us of its deeper roots, as a tool not just for health, but for spiritual expression and connection. Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), is often taught as a warm-up sequence in yoga studios globally. Yet in its essence, it is a moving meditation, honouring light, life, and resilience. Performing it at extreme altitude, in a place associated with human ambition and sacrifice, imbues it with even greater symbolism.
Acharya Raghu’s achievement stands apart not only for its physical demands but for its poetic grace. As the sun dipped behind the Himalayan ridges and the winds resumed
Blooming Balloons Take Flight
At first glance, it looked like a scene from a child’s storybook; clouds raining petals, oversized flowers gently swaying, and fairies frozen mid-flight. But this was not fantasy. It was the atrium of Marina Square Shopping Mall in Singapore, magically transformed into a surreal balloon paradise that left visitors wide-eyed and cameras flashing.
The marvel behind this dreamlike transformation was Tan Lily, a celebrated balloon artist from Singapore, who led the creation of the biggest balloon flower fiesta ever displayed in a shopping mall. Spanning an astonishing 17 metres in length, 34 metres in width, and soaring 10.5 metres high, the installation was officially recognised on March 18, 2025, with the Asia Book of Records (ABR) adjudicator, Grace, presenting the honour.
This year’s theme, Flower Fiesta, was more than a decorative concept. It was an immersive world designed to captivate the senses. A walk through the atrium felt like a stroll through an enchanted garden, where every turn revealed an artistic marvel sculpted entirely out of balloons. At the heart of the display stood the Open Book of Flowers, a towering centrepiece standing 10 metres tall. Designed like an unfolding tale of nature, its pages appeared to narrate the life of a garden, illuminated from within with soft, glowing lights. Graceful fairies hovered around the book, and a whimsically crafted floral throne in front offered the perfect seat for a photo.
High above, two giant butterflies floated dramatically on the second level, spreading their balloon wings wide to greet onlookers from every floor. Below them, medium-sized butterflies danced in harmony with the scene, adding further dimension to the already vibrant space. A dazzling white butterfly backdrop, accompanied by a one-metre-high stool,
served as an elegant photo setting for families and selfie-lovers alike.
Adding to the spectacle were two bright hot air balloons, each standing eight metres tall, adorned with garlands and pastelhued blooms. Positioned amid colourful floral balloon beds, these floating beauties were not only eye-catching but became one of the most photographed elements of the entire exhibit.
One particularly enchanting corner featured the Cloud of Flowers, a fluffy balloon canopy from which cascaded floral garlands like a gentle rain, creating a dreamy, fairytale atmosphere. Nearby, a walkthrough garden with giant flowers and rustic-style balloon benches beckoned visitors to pause, marvel and soak in the charm. Hidden among the blooms were pastel-toned fairy figures, quietly adding a layer of playfulness and discovery for children and adults alike.
A dazzling display of balloon artistry transformed a Singapore mall into a floral dreamscape, setting a new record for the biggest balloon flower fiesta. It happened at the atrium of Marina Square Shopping Mall.
A larger-than-life balloon vase bursting with dancing blossoms added another stroke of magic. Around every corner, the artistry was evident, in the fine detailing of texture, colour, and creativity. Every element, from the balloon walls to floral arches and life-sized butterflies, had been meticulously designed to offer visitors a fully immersive experience. The event was a celebration of artistic innovation, imagination, and community joy.
Designed with photo moments in mind, each scene doubled as a stage for families, couples, and friends to capture magical memories. Tan Lily’s vision brought together not just balloons, but wonder, whimsy and world-class creativity. In an era of fleeting digital attractions, this tactile, three-dimensional wonderland was a gentle reminder that art, especially in public spaces, can still spark delight, awe, and togetherness.
Vietnam to Host Historic Record Congress 2025
The Vietnam Record Association is set to host its prestigious Congress for the 2025–2030 term on June 21, 2025, in Vietnam. This landmark event will bring together eminent dignitaries and leading figures in the field of record-keeping and recognition, underscoring a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and global collaboration.
This Congress marks a poignant chapter in the Association’s history. It will be the first major gathering since the passing of Mr. Le Tran Truong An, the esteemed founder of the Vietnam Book of Records, who left an indelible mark on the record community before his passing in July 2024. In the wake of this profound loss, Prof. Dr. Hoang Quang Thuan has taken up the
mantle as the new Chairman of the Vietnam Book of Records. His leadership promises to carry forward Mr. An’s vision with renewed energy and global outreach.
The India Book of Records extends its heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Thuan and pledges full support to the Vietnam Book of Records, reaffirming a commitment to strengthening ties between the two nations in the dynamic and inspiring field of records. The spirit of camaraderie and cooperation between India and Vietnam continues to thrive through such exchanges.
A room and a seat were always reserved for Mr. An at the India Book of Records office in Faridabad, India, during his lifetime. In honour of his enduring legacy, that same room and seat will remain reserved for the current President, Dr. Thuan, and the Vice President, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Anh (Julia).
Adding to the significance of the event, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, Chairman of the World Records Union and Chief Editor of both the India Book of Records and Asia Book
of Records, has been invited to grace the occasion. He is enthusiastic about meeting fellow dignitaries and exploring new avenues for international collaboration, striving to ensure that together, we scale new heights in the realm of record achievements.
The upcoming Congress is poised to be a milestone in the history of record associations across Asia and beyond, fostering meaningful partnerships and celebrating the spirit of human excellence.

Mantras Echo Through Kumbh
Amidst the world-famous spiritual confluence of the recently concluded Mahakumbh 2025 at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, a unique undertaking unfolded, a continuous recitation of sacred Vedic mantras that stretched for weeks, creating a scenario of sound and ancient wisdom across the landscape. This extraordinary event, far from being a solitary act of worship, brought together hundreds of Vedic scholars in a collective endeavour of profound scale. This was the largest Rudri Path Relay by Vedic scholars.
Over a remarkable 34-day period, from the middle of January to mid-February 2025, the Divya Jyoti Ved Mandir (DJVM) of Rohini, Delhi, orchestrated an unprecedented Rudri Path Relay. Held within the vibrant atmosphere of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj (formerly known as Allahabad), this spiritual marathon saw 566 learned Vedic scholars unite for a single purpose, the unbroken chanting of the Rudri Path. Their combined voices resonated with the power of tradition, culminating in the recitation of an astonishing 2,642,409 Vedic mantras.
At the heart of this monumental undertaking was the Shukla Yajurvediya Rudra Ashtadhyayi Path, a significant
Vedic scripture. The scholars meticulously performed 11,151 recitations of this revered text, amassing a total of 794 hours of continuous chanting. This extraordinary feat of dedication not only showcased the profound knowledge and commitment of the participating scholars but also created an atmosphere of intense spiritual energy within the Mahakumbh mela, the largest gathering ever in the world.
The significance of this relay extended beyond the sheer volume of mantras chanted. The organisers, Divya Jyoti Ved Mandir, consciously aligned their efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) and the objectives of India’s Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy). The ancient Vedic chants are believed to have a purifying effect on the environment and a positive impact on mental well-being. By undertaking this massive relay, the DJVM aimed to promote these benefits on a large scale, contributing to both spiritual and holistic well-being within the community.
The magnitude and authenticity of this unique event drew the attention of official record-keeping organisations. Pramil

Dwivedi, an adjudicator representing both the Asia Book of Records (ABR) and the India Book of Records (IBR), meticulously verified the claims put forth by the Divya Jyoti Ved Mandir. Following a thorough assessment of the duration, the number of participants, and the count of mantras recited, Pramil Dwivedi officially recognised the Rudri Path Relay as the largest of its kind ever organised by Vedic scholars.
In a formal ceremony acknowledging their extraordinary achievement, Pramil Dwivedi presented medals and certificates from both the record books to the key office-bearers of the Divya Jyoti Ved Mandir. This recognition served as a formal acknowledgement of the immense effort, dedication, and meticulous planning that went into the successful execution of the Rudri Path Relay.
The event set a new benchmark for Vedic recitations and highlighted the enduring power and relevance of ancient traditions in modern times. The echoes of the mantras chanted by these 566 scholars in Prayagraj city will undoubtedly resonate for a long time to come, serving as an inspiration for future generations to explore and uphold the rich heritage of Vedic knowledge of ancient Bharat.
Pages of Hope and Healing
Good work done with dedication and with the intention of public welfare always pays rich dividends in the long run. In an era dominated by fleeting trends and personal gain, one woman from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is quietly rewriting the very definition of success through pages written with purpose. Dr Sheeba Lourdhes, a technocrat by training and humanitarian by heart, has turned her literary knowledge into a global campaign of care for persons, especially children battling cancer.
Her recent feat, publishing 248 multilingual books in just eight months to raise funds for paediatric cancer patients, has earned her recognition from both the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR). But beyond the impressive numbers lies a mission fuelled by empathy. The books, written between April and November 2024, span 20 languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, English, Spanish, Russian, French, Turkish, Chinese, and even Greek.
Dr Sheeba’s fluency in both literature and compassion enabled her to cross cultural boundaries and connect with readers across continents. Each title sold contributes directly towards treatment and support for young cancer patients, transforming literature into lifelines. At a recent international conference in Dubai, her efforts were recognised at the highest
level. Tennis star Sania Mirza presented her with the Best Global Humanitarian Icon Award, a moment that captured the magnitude of Dr Sheeba’s contribution. Yet, for her, it was not a moment of arrival, but a call to continue.
Dr Sheeba’s accolades extend far beyond the literary. She is a classical Bharathanatyam dancer, a sustainability advocate, and a social reformer who has planted lakhs of native trees and of eye donations. positive women, slum children, of 45 individuals

year paints the picture of a woman whose canvas is the world itself.
What makes her literary record even more remarkable is the sheer diversity of themes and styles. These are not hastily assembled collections. They carry cultural insight, social relevance, and global appeal. In recognition of her contributions to literature and society, Maryland International University conferred upon her an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy in Literature, one more milestone in a journey defined not by degrees but by deeds.
Behind her serene presence lies a life of deliberate sacrifice. She chose not to marry, instead adopting four children and devoting her days to causes far beyond the self. Her speeches, such as Innovations and Strategies for a Greener World Towards a Sustainable Future, have resonated with audiences worldwide, proving that intellect and impact can go hand in hand. Her ability to blend ancient tradition with modern technology, all while radiating maternal grace, places her in a rare category of public figures. To the Tamil community, she is a cultural ambassador. To the global humanitarian field, she is a force of transformation.
Though global honours now trail her every step, Dr Sheeba walks with quiet determination, often calling herself just a humble daughter of Tamil Nadu. Yet those who encounter her work, whether on stage, on the page, or in the streets she uplifts, know they are witnessing something far greater. Her books speak volumes. Not just in twenty languages, but in the universal tongue of kindness. With every chapter she writes, Dr Sheeba Lourdhes reminds us that real power does not lie in what we accumulate, but in what we give away.
Mission Cervical Cancer Awareness
Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in India, despite being preventable through early screening and HPV vaccination. Yet, awareness levels remain alarmingly low, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. The WHO has set a target of screening 70% of eligible women globally, but India continues to lag with numbers in the single digits.
In a week-long health outreach that stretched from bustling metros to rural outposts, medical vans rolled through lanes, banners fluttered outside clinics, and women queued up in community halls. The message was clear and urgent that cervical cancer is preventable, and awareness is the first step to saving lives. This coordinated surge of activity was not a routine
medical campaign. It was a remarkable mission to spread lifesaving knowledge across India.
From January 16 to 22, 2025, Pathkind Diagnostics Pvt Ltd, based in Haryana, led an unparalleled health initiative to mark World Cervical Cancer Day. Over just seven days, the organisation facilitated an extraordinary 1500 cervical cancer awareness camps across multiple states in India. The sheer scale of the effort, supported by doctors, paramedics, health educators, and local volunteers, has now earned a coveted place in the Asia Book of Records (ABR).
The official recognition came on February 19, when Shweta Jha, an adjudicator from the Asia Book of Records, formally acknowledged the feat. She presented the team with a medal

and certificate, noting the impactful scope of the campaign and the dedication of those involved in delivering it.
Pathkind’s campaign aimed to bridge that gap with action. Camps offered educational talks, distributed literature in regional languages, and in many locations, even conducted on-spot screening and consultations. A strong emphasis was placed on the importance of early detection through HPV testing and regular gynaecological check-ups.
Dr Pankaj Mandale, Head of Medico-Marketing at Pathkind Diagnostics, expressed pride in the cross-functional effort that made the record possible. In a public message, he praised the work of the Medico-Marketing and Sales teams, along with support from National Reference Laboratory doctors, lab heads, logistics, commercial, and operations departments. “Let’s keep pushing boundaries together,” he urged.
The activity highlighted an uncomfortable truth that, despite increased awareness, a considerable number of educated women and even medical professionals have yet to undergo essential screenings such as the HPV test. As Prof Ashok Rattan, Advisor to Pathkind, pointed out that the gap is not only due to a lack of information but also due to systemic inertia. True impact, he argued, will be measured by the increase in actual screening numbers, not just awareness events.
Nonetheless, Pathkind’s campaign is a powerful reminder that coordinated action can achieve big targets. Through this activity, women who had never heard of cervical cancer learned how a simple test could save their lives. Health workers, too, are left better equipped to spread the message further. It left a resolve within the medical community to make prevention a household word. For India’s women, this effort lights the way toward healthier futures.
A Gateway to Graceful Glory
Chandan Nagar in West Bengal, once a French colonial town, has a unique cultural depth. While nearby cities reflect British colonial footprints, Chandan Nagar retains French influence in its language, festivals, and urban design. An architectural marvel now stands tall there, not merely in height, but in spirit. At St Joseph’s Convent, Chandan Nagar, a new entrance gate rises 39 feet high into the sky, marking not only a physical threshold but a monumental tribute to a profound legacy.
Constructed to honour the Cluny Sisters who arrived centuries ago with a mission of education and compassion, the grand gate has set a new record for being the tallest school entrance dedicated to their legacy. Recognised by the Asia Book of Records (ABR) and the India Book of Records (IBR), this towering structure is memory made visible.
The imposing gateway blends Renaissance architectural elegance with local craftsmanship, drawing both on the French heritage of Chandan Nagar and the spiritual depth of the Sisters of St Joseph of Cluny. Established in 1861, the convent has long been a cornerstone of women’s education in eastern India. Yet even among its many milestones, this new feat has stirred fresh pride across its community of students, teachers, and alumni.
When IBR adjudicator Arindam Sengupta arrived to honour the occasion, the campus radiated an air of reverence. Medals, certificates, and applause filled the air, but beneath the official ceremony was a deeper emotion. It was gratitude, for the
foresight of the Cluny Sisters who crossed oceans to empower generations of Indian girls through knowledge, discipline, and values.
For former pupils who walked through the modest gates of their time, the new structure is a proud transformation. The entrance gate, with its elegant pillars, domes, and symbolic embellishments, bridges centuries of cross-cultural exchange. The Cluny Sisters believed in holistic education, character formation, and the dignity of service; principles that continue to shape the school’s ethos today.
As visitors and passers-by stop to admire the towering gateway, it also sparks curiosity about the school’s quiet yet powerful journey. Over the decades, the convent has nurtured leaders, artists, educators, and changemakers; each carrying the values of the Sisters into the wider world. The gate, then, is not a boundary, but an open invitation, to learn, to reflect, and to remember.
The structure’s design is deliberate and meaningful. From the symmetry reminiscent of French chapels to the careful inclusion of local motifs, it narrates a story in stone; a story of faith, education, and deep cultural roots. Built with precision and passion, it serves as a symbol of aspiration for the thousands who walk through it each year.
The gate is a salute to women who gave their lives to serve others, to students who strive for excellence, and to a town that continues to cherish its layered identity. This towering gate at St Joseph’s Convent reminds us that history is not just to be preserved; it is to be lived, honoured, and built upon. And sometimes, all it takes is a graceful archway reaching for the skies to bring that truth home.
St Joseph’s Convent in Chandan Nagar, West Bengal, builds record-breaking tribute to its French-rooted legacy and the enduring spirit of the Cluny Sisters. They believed in holistic education and the dignity of service.
Cleaning Giant Cauldron
The “Vim Maha Kadhai” record, recognised by both the India Book of Records (IBR) and Asia Book of Records (ABR), was a spectacular feat of teamwork, innovation, and a little bit of elbow grease at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. At the heart of India’s grandest spiritual gathering, where millions throng for devotion and darshan, an unusual yet awe-inspiring moment unfolded; one that had less to do with rituals and more with steel and sheer scale. Amid the buzz of the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025, an iron-and-copper colossus, the “Hanuman Kadhai”, stood tall, having just served over 2,00,000 devotees with a divine halwa offering.
While cooking 10,000 kg of halwa was no ordinary task, what followed was equally remarkable; the enormous cauldron was cleaned by hand with a humble Vim Bar. At 6.5 feet in height (including its stand) and 15 feet in diameter, the kadhai weighed a staggering 1800 kg and had been built to withstand intense heat, high volume, and public pressure. Its heavy-duty lid alone
weighed 180 kg, while its 6 mm thick steel plate construction meant it required some serious effort to scrub it spotless. But Vim, a dishwashing brand under Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), rose to the challenge with characteristic flair.
Guiding this extraordinary culinary and cleaning mission was renowned celebrity Chef Vishnu Manohar, whose decades-long association with large-scale traditional cooking made him the ideal partner. Under his supervision, approximately 10,000 kg of halwa was prepared in the cauldron using 1300 kg of ghee and 300 litres of oil. The result was a warm, fragrant offering shared generously with lakhs of pilgrims; a moment of communal joy that reflected the very ethos of the Kumbh.
But once the last spoonful was served and the giant spatula, also weighing 180 kg, was set down, came the true challenge - cleaning the beast. The use of the Vim Bar in scrubbing the mammoth surface not only demonstrated the product’s cleaning
power but also reinforced the brand’s longstanding commitment to hygiene, especially in large community kitchens. The recordbreaking wash was no mere marketing gimmick; it was a practical celebration of cleanliness at scale, especially vital at an event of such size and spiritual significance.
To further support the spirit of service, Vim partnered with the Om Namah Shivay Seva Group, which operated the world’s largest 24x7 bhandaras at the Kumbh. Their collaboration extended beyond just one kadhai. More than 1 crore pilgrims benefited from bhandaras supported by Vim, which also introduced innovative solar-powered branded light poles named ‘Chamakta Chauraha’ to brighten meal service areas and dedicated dishwashing stations to encourage hygienic practices.
spirit of seva (selfless service) was not only upheld but sparkled. Amid devotion and scale, it was the humble dishwashing bar, supported by visionaries and volunteers, that stole the show.
Vim Bar and Chef Vishnu
The record, confirmed on February 17, 2025, did more than highlight a massive cookware cleaning operation. It threw light on how practical innovation, community partnerships, and cultural celebration can come together to create something memorable, one scrub at a time. Chef Manohar’s leadership and the combined efforts of the organising teams ensured that the

Jhijhiya, a vibrant folk dance rooted in the Mithila region of Bihar and Nepal, is known for its hypnotic footwork and balancing act. This folk dance is traditionally performed by women during the Dussehra period, invoking protection and prosperity from Goddess Durga. As dusk settled over Patna (Bihar) on a calm March evening, the rhythmic echo of traditional drums filled the air. Against the backdrop of glowing lamps and devotional chants, more than a thousand dancers stepped onto the open grounds, each balancing a clay pot crowned with flickering flames on their heads.
The dance was basically a moment of cultural revival, spiritual devotion, and collective pride. This performance, held on March 7, 2025, was significant in scale and impact. It brought together 1012 dancers, men and women alike, moving in synchrony to
honour their heritage and set a new national and continental record. Organised by The Art of Living, a spiritual and cultural movement known for fostering harmony through yoga and the arts, the event was a memorable spectacle.
It was a tribute to the spirit of Bihar and a nod to the timeless traditions passed down through generations. The sight of earthen pots glowing atop heads while feet tapped to ancient rhythms painted a mesmerising picture of devotion meeting discipline. The performance, recognised by the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR), aimed to raise awareness about the rich tapestry of state’s folk heritage at a time when modern lifestyles and digital distractions threaten to overshadow such traditions. Adjudicator Dr Mamta Raj Mehta verified the claim.
For organisers and dancers alike, it was a proud moment to showcase a cultural artform that often remains confined to village squares and family gatherings. Months of practice went into ensuring that every dancer not only perfected the steps but also mastered the balance required to carry the pots, each containing a small fire lamp, without faltering. The choreography was traditional, yet refined for a large-scale presentation, blending authenticity with accessibility.
The symbolism of the Jhijhiya dance lies in its origins. Historically performed by women to ward off evil spirits and protect their families, it blends prayer with performance. The pot, or diya-filled matki, represents the womb, the universe, and the sacred space of life and light. As the dancers twirled and turned in rhythm, they echoed the protective and nurturing role of the goddess they were honouring.
For many of the participants, the performance was both a spiritual offering and a deeply personal moment. “It felt like I was dancing not just for an audience, but for my ancestors,
A thousand performers in Patna, Bihar, brought ancient tradition to life, dancing in perfect harmony with fire-lit pots on their heads to honour Devi Durga and preserve Mithila’s cultural spirit.
my community, and my own soul,” said one young performer, visibly moved after the final round. The dance concluded with a moment of stillness, flames still glowing, music fading, and over a thousand faces lit by both fire and emotion. There was no roar of applause, just an overwhelming sense of unity, as if the soil of Mithila itself had paused to bless its people. This performance served as a reminder that culture lives not in museums or textbooks, but in motion, memory, and moments like these.
Breaking Barriers, Building Careers
What began as a placement drive soon turned into a historic moment for gender inclusion in India’s job market. In a brightly lit hall abuzz with anticipation, hundreds of young women clutched their resumes and dreams, hearts racing with hope. The atmosphere was electric; not just with ambition, but with the sense that something remarkable was unfolding. Ajeenkya DY Patil University (ADYPU) in Maharashtra achieved what few institutions have dared to attempt, recruiting 312 female candidates in a single day, offering each an immediate offer letter on the spot.
This initiative, verified and certified by the India Book of Records (IBR) on March 7, 2025, now holds the national record for the maximum number of female candidates recruited in a day during a placement session. The woman leading the charge was Dr Kamaljeet Kaur Siddhu, Executive Vice President of the Ajeenkya DY Patil Group, whose commitment to women’s
empowerment and workforce diversity has long been evident through her academic and professional contributions.
The event was a celebration of skill, inclusion, and future potential. Held on the university campus, the placement session attracted participation from companies across a range of sectors including technology, healthcare, finance, and education. Recruiters, many of whom had never seen such a high volume of female applicants at once, were struck by the quality of candidates and the seamless execution of the daylong drive.
The recruitment process was carefully planned. From preliminary interviews to final HR rounds, every step was coordinated with clockwork precision. What set this event apart was not just its scale, but its intent. “We weren’t just hiring,” said Dr Siddhu. “We were challenging norms and showing what happens when institutions put faith in women’s capabilities.”
Ajeenkya DY Patil University (ADYPU)
in Maharashtra set a national record with singleday recruitment drive for 312 women, promoting gender diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace.
Chitra Jain, an IBR adjudicator, was present to oversee the process and later presented a medal and certificate to the organisers. “It was inspiring to witness such dedication to building a gender-balanced future,” she said, addressing the newly hired candidates, many of whom were first-generation professionals in their families.
The initiative reflects a growing awareness in India’s higher education institutions of their role in shaping not just employable graduates, but equitable workforces. While conversations around gender parity in employment have gained traction in recent years, actual implementation has often lagged behind. This record-setting drive, however, offers a practical blueprint for progress that is - create opportunity, offer support, and remove barriers.
The candidates, hailing from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, expressed both gratitude and excitement. For many, the job offers marked the first step into professional independence. “I never imagined I’d leave campus with a job offer in hand,” said Sneha, a final-year management student. “Today, I feel seen, not just as a student, but as a future leader.”
The university’s achievement serves as a powerful reminder that empowerment must go beyond rhetoric; it requires platforms, policy, and proactive leadership. With this accomplishment, Ajeenkya DY Patil University has not only raised the bar for campus placements but also reignited the conversation around women’s representation in India’s workforce. As industries continue to navigate challenges of equity and inclusion, efforts like these demonstrate that progress is possible when intention meets execution.
Brushstrokes Beyond Borders
The rhythmic sound of paintbrushes gliding across canvas echoed like a quiet anthem. Artists moved in silence, focused yet expressive, each contributing a unique stroke to something far greater than themselves. What started as a collective artistic experiment soon unfurled into a striking symbol of unity. This art piece became the world’s longest abstract painting created on canvas to celebrate global harmony.
Organised by Namaste India Magazine of Maharashtra, in collaboration with the Dubai International Art Centre (DIAC), this grand visual feat brought together 95 artists from across continents. Together, they painted a sprawling 117-foot abstract piece that wove global landmarks, shared histories and diverse cultural motifs into a single uninterrupted narrative. The creation entered the Asia Book of Records (ABR), verified by adjudicator Aquib Rashid, who presented a medal and certificate to the organisers.
Though rooted in abstraction, the painting was anything but vague in intent. From Tokyo Tower to the Eiffel, from the Pyramids to the Taj Mahal, every motif brushed onto the canvas carried a clear, emotive voice that cultures can differ, but creativity unites. The artwork became a vivid metaphor for connection without conformity, expression without boundaries.
What made the feat particularly remarkable was not merely its scale but the spirit behind it. The participants, aged between 16 and 70, hailed from vastly different countries, artistic traditions and languages. Yet, without any shared vocabulary beyond colours and canvases, they flowed effortlessly in collaboration. Some artists etched in bold acrylics, while others worked with delicate watercolours. Despite the variety of media and methods, the outcome was breathtakingly cohesive.
Namaste India Magazine, known for its cross-cultural outreach through the arts, saw this event as more than a creative

project. “The world is increasingly divided; politically, socially, ideologically. Through this painting, we wanted to remind people that art has no borders,” said a representative from the organising committee.
The Dubai International Art Centre, one of the city’s oldest and most respected creative institutions, lent both logistical support and curatorial guidance. The venue itself, with its open halls and multicultural ethos, offered a fitting backdrop for a project centred around inclusion and harmony.
Spectators who visited during the creation phase described it as deeply moving. One viewer likened the experience to “watching the world speak in colours,” while another observed how the work drew people closer to cultures they had never encountered before. The finished piece was later rolled out in its entirety, drawing gasps from onlookers and applause that echoed for minutes.
Beyond the gallery walls, the record has sparked renewed interest in collaborative art as a tool for diplomacy and education. Schools and institutions across Dubai and India are now exploring similar initiatives that use large-scale art to bridge divides and promote understanding. The artwork itself is expected to go on tour later this year, with stops planned in London, Singapore, and Johannesburg, giving more people a chance to witness the canvas that quite literally stretched across cultures.
The choice to focus on abstract art was also deliberate. “Abstraction allows for interpretation,” explained one of the participating artists. “It lets each viewer see a different world in the same painting; just like we all live different lives on the same planet.”
Heavyweight Gujiya
Gujiyas have long been a Holi staple, with their rich mawa filling and golden crust evoking fond memories of home kitchens and shared feasts. On the eve of Holi, as colours flew and dhols echoed through the lanes of Lucknow, a quiet culinary spectacle was unfolding inside Phoenix Palassio Mall. Crowds watched with anticipation as chefs from Chhappan Bhog, one of the city’s most revered sweet brands, unveiled a creation unlike any other; a single, colossal gujiya (also called gujhiya) that earned a place in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR).
Measuring an impressive 22 inches and tipping the scales at 6.096 kg, the handcrafted sweet brought together nostalgia, celebration, and sheer skill in a feat officially recognised by the India Book of Records on March 11, 2025. Crafted in honour of the Holi festival, this oversized delicacy was more than just a visual marvel. It was a tribute to India’s age-old culinary traditions, revived with a modern flourish. Hardly few could
have imagined this familiar sweet on such a grand scale in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh. Behind the effort was a team of artisans and chefs at Chhappan Bhog who, driven by creativity and passion, spent days perfecting the technique, proportions, and presentation required for this unique venture.
To maintain the traditional form while scaling up the size posed multiple challenges. The dough had to be pliant yet strong enough to support the weight of the filling. The sealing had to be airtight to avoid splitting during frying. Even the frying vessel had to be specially adapted to accommodate the size. In the end, it was precision and teamwork that brought the vision to life; each fold, crimp and glaze in place, resulting in a large yet pristine gujiya that stayed true to its roots.
“This gujiya symbolises our love for tradition and innovation,” said a spokesperson from Chhappan Bhog. “We wanted to

create something festive, something joyful, and something unforgettable for the people of Lucknow. What better occasion than Holi to bring people together over sweets and celebration?”
The creation became an instant attraction, drawing food lovers, curious onlookers and media attention alike. IBR adjudicator Pramil Dwivedi gave away a medal and the certificate to the shop owners.
The initiative also held a deeper cultural significance. Gujiyas have been part of Holi for centuries, representing joy, hospitality and the spirit of indulgence. To elevate it into a record-breaking work of art added another layer of meaning to the festive spirit. While most gujiyas vanish within minutes of serving, this one had a longer journey; from preparation to recognition to inspiration.
For Lucknow, a city where food and culture intertwine seamlessly, this achievement was more than just a headline. It was a moment of pride, a celebration of skill, and a sweet victory shared by the community. As Holi brought colour to the streets, Chhappan Bhog’s giant gujiya brought flavour to the occasion, earning a place in the hearts of those who witnessed it.
Healthy Heart Campaign
In an extraordinary display of collective effort and dedication to public health, 1250 cardiologists and consulting physicians across India came together virtually to raise awareness about heart health. Organised by Natco Pharma Limited, based in Hyderabad, the initiative involved doctors from every corner of the country recording personal video messages to educate the public about heart disease prevention and the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health.
The doctors took to their screens to spread crucial information on how individuals can protect their hearts and embrace healthier lifestyles. The messages were shared across various platforms to reach as many people as possible, ensuring that vital knowledge about heart health was accessible to the general public. By using technology to their advantage, the doctors aimed to bridge the gap between medical professionals and the everyday person, offering insights into both prevention and treatment.
This digital approach not only allowed for wider outreach but also provided a platform for specialists to share their expertise with a vast audience in a timely manner. It is a response to the growing concern over heart disease, a condition that affects millions globally. With the pressures of modern life, heartrelated health issues have become more prevalent, making awareness campaigns like this more important than ever.
Each participating doctor recorded messages that highlighted simple but essential tips for maintaining heart health. These messages ranged from lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress, to more specific advice about managing high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The doctors underscored the importance of routine check-ups and early diagnosis to detect heart-related problems before they become serious.
The initiative’s success lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. Cardiologists and physicians shared their professional advice in an easily understandable format, ensuring that the general public could apply these tips to their daily lives. The messages
were not just about caution but also about inspiring a positive attitude towards heart health, empowering individuals to make informed choices and take charge of their well-being.
The record was officially recognised by the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records, confirming the successful participation of 1250 doctors. By leveraging digital tools, Natco Pharma and the medical community have set an example for other health awareness campaigns in India and beyond.
The doctors’ messages also highlighted several critical aspects of heart disease prevention. They emphasised the importance of regular exercise to keep the heart strong and functional. Additionally, they advised individuals to maintain a healthy weight, as obesity is a significant risk factor for heart disease. A balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, was also encouraged, while limiting the intake of processed foods, unhealthy fats, and sugar.
Another key recommendation was to avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, both of which contribute to an increased risk of heart disease. Stress management was also stressed, as chronic stress can negatively affect heart health. The doctors encouraged mindfulness practices such as meditation and yoga, which have been shown to lower blood pressure and promote overall well-being. This initiative serves as an example of how healthcare professionals can use technology to break down barriers and share critical information with a wider audience. The campaign succeeded in making a meaningful difference in the way people think about and care for their heart health.
Grooming Pledge
As the spiritual chants echoed along the ghats of Prayagraj during Maha Kumbh 2025, another kind of awakening quietly unfolded amid the sea of saffron and sacred rituals. This time, it wasn’t a call to cleanse the soul but a nudge towards cleansing the self, quite literally. Amid the hustle of religious fervour, a digital booth began drawing unexpected attention. It was Grooming Ka Mahakumbh, and it had a clear mission; to inspire thousands to take a pledge for personal grooming.
Over three eventful days, 10,410 devotees stepped up and participated in a unique digital pledge, the Grooming Pratigya, to maintain personal hygiene and appearance as a regular part of life. Orchestrated by VI-John Healthcare India, one of the
country’s leading personal care brands, this campaign achieved an extraordinary feat, setting the record for the maximum participation in a digital pledge for personal grooming.
The setting of the event made it remarkable. The campaign was rolled out at one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world, the Maha Kumbh in Uttar Pradesh, where the focus traditionally rests on inner purity. Against that backdrop, this modern campaign added a contemporary, relevant layer to the idea of cleanliness. Bridging the sacred with the everyday grooming.
Volunteers and digital ambassadors of the campaign stood with tablets and devices, patiently explaining the importance
of grooming in a language both humble and universal. From shaving to skin care, from neat dressing to personal hygiene, the pledge highlighted how grooming isn’t vanity, but selfrespect. Each participant registered digitally and pledged to incorporate grooming habits into their routine, often leaving with a smile and a surprise. They were given a small grooming kit from VI-John to help them get started.
The campaign’s strategy was sharply woven with symbolism. By anchoring the activation at Prayagraj during the Kumbh mela, VI-John cleverly tied personal grooming to deeper cultural themes of self-discipline, self-care and social dignity. The initiative resonated particularly well with younger attendees, many of whom took to social media, sharing their digital certificates and encouraging peers to do the same.
The prestigious Asia Book of Records (ABR) recognised the campaign’s success. Adjudicator Shweta Jha gave away a medal and the certificate to the company officials, drawing cheers from both participants and organisers. Behind the scenes, the campaign had been months in the making. It required not just technical preparation but also cultural sensitivity and ground coordination. Ensuring that the campaign was inclusive; reaching across age, gender, and social background, was crucial to its success. The brand’s decision to integrate digital infrastructure within the traditional fairgrounds demonstrated

how new-age initiatives can harmonise with deep-rooted Indian traditions.
For VI-John, it was a statement, an act of confidence, selfawareness and respect for one’s environment. The campaign subtly but powerfully pushed grooming out of urban salons and into mainstream conversations. Even among those who had never considered it part of daily life. With over ten thousand voices echoing the sentiment of grooming digitally, it seems the idea had found more than a fleeting audience.
108 Hours of Giving Life
It began with a quiet prayer at dawn. As the doors of Adharv Banquet in Sreebhumi opened, a small team of volunteers stood poised with hope in their eyes and sleeves rolled up, both literally and metaphorically. Over the next five days, they led an extraordinary act of service, one drop at a time. Organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad (ABTYP) of Ladnun, Rajasthan, and executed through its Kolkata branches, the event was no ordinary blood donation drive. It was a marathon of compassion, running continuously for 108 hours; from 8 am on November 14, until 8 pm on November 18. Within this window of tireless effort, 1163 individuals came forward to donate blood, each one contributing to what would become a record.
The India Book of Records (IBR) recognised the achievement, with adjudicator Seema Manikkoth verifying the claim and presenting a certificate and medal to the Parishad officials on
February 21, 2025. The atmosphere was jubilant but grounded; a celebration of human spirit, not just a mention in the record book. Inside the banquet hall, rows of reclined chairs and whirring fans bore witness to a steady rhythm; donors arriving, being gently prepped, and then giving blood with quiet resolve.
Doctors, nurses, and volunteers rotated in shifts, managing fatigue with cups of tea, spirited encouragement, and sheer willpower.
For every pint collected, there was a silent story; a father donating for the first time after hearing about the drive on the radio, a group of college students arriving together to mark Children’s Day with a purposeful act, a woman who waited for her night shift to end before walking in at 4 am to give. There were no loud proclamations, just a shared understanding that this was something bigger than any individual.
The number 108 held special significance. In many Indian traditions, 108 is considered sacred, the number of beads in a mala, the number of names of deities, the count of spiritual energy lines. For the organisers, stretching the camp to exactly 108 hours wasn’t a coincidence. It was a conscious invocation of purpose, marrying service with symbolism. The ABTYP team, known for its humanitarian efforts, ensured that every hour was accounted for, every volunteer cared for, and every donor treated with dignity. Medical protocols were rigorously followed. Refreshments, rest areas, and even emotional support were available to those who needed it.
Blood donation, while critically important, often gets lost in the din of everyday emergencies. By stretching the timeline and the visibility of the event, ABTYP hoped to ignite a longterm behavioural shift; to normalise and encourage regular donation, especially among younger demographics. As the final donor was applauded and the camp closed its doors after five days, exhaustion was matched only by pride. The record was achieved, but more importantly, over 1100 lives were potentially saved.
In a remarkable feat of endurance and compassion, a Kolkata blood donation camp in West Bengal ran non-stop for 108 hours, setting a new national record and saving hundreds of lives in the process.
A Sea of Spirit and Sport
The golden sands of Marina Beach in Chennai shimmered with more than just sunlight on a breezy morning in March 2025. There was movement, rhythm, and the unmistakable buzz of something extraordinary unfolding. One by one, students in coordinated attire took their positions, their formation slowly transforming the iconic stretch of coastline into a living canvas, and at the centre of it all was a singular theme, Kabaddi. The Golden Dragon Sports Club of Chennai had a vision, to bring together hundreds of young participants to celebrate the spirit of India’s homegrown sport while also sparking dialogue about environmental awareness. That vision came alive spectacularly with the creation of the largest-ever human formation based on Kabaddi.
With 1368 students standing shoulder to shoulder, they shaped not just a formation, but a movement. Chants of “Kabaddi,
Kabaddi” echoed faintly as the crowd, perfectly synchronised, aligned themselves into the outline of the event’s logo, the Marina Kabaddi Festival. Seen from above, the imagery was breathtaking. It was human artistry woven into the sand with precision and passion. The very sport that demands strength, teamwork, and sharp instincts was now being used to convey something far greater, the power of collective action.
The feat recognised by the India Book of Records (IBR), brought pride not just to the organisers but to the city itself. Adjudicator Vivek R Nair confirmed the achievement, presenting a medal and the certificate to the Golden Dragon Sports Club officials. The choice of venue and the underlying message added layers of meaning to the spectacle. Marina Beach, long a symbol of Chennai’s cultural heart, has also witnessed growing concerns about pollution and neglect. By choosing this historic shoreline,
the organisers sent a subtle yet powerful message - one that intertwined the preservation of our environment with the safeguarding of indigenous sport.
For the young participants, many of whom had only played Kabaddi during school tournaments or watched it on television, the experience was transformative. It was not just about standing in formation. It was about understanding the roots of the sport, feeling its pulse, and realising how even a traditional game can carry powerful messages for the modern world.
Organising an event of such scale was no small feat. Weeks of planning, rehearsals under the sun, meticulous spacing, and coordination with local authorities were all part of the behindthe-scenes effort. Teachers, coaches, volunteers, and local supporters played crucial roles in ensuring that the day would run smoothly. And it did, with the kind of joy and discipline that only sport can inspire.
The choice of Kabaddi was deeply intentional. Long viewed as a rural game, it has steadily gained global popularity, especially through leagues and televised matches. Yet, its earthy roots, played barefoot in dusty fields, still symbolise determination and strategy. Through this formation, organisers reminded onlookers that Kabaddi is not just a game of the past, but a sport for the future, capable of connecting communities and causes alike. As the formation finally dispersed and the students trickled
Over 1300 students formed a massive human Kabaddi display at Marina Beach in Chennai, blending the energy of sport with a call for environmental consciousness in a unique record-setting moment.
away from the sand, there lingered a sense of achievement. For proving that creativity, tradition, and awareness can come together in bold, beautiful ways. What began as a morning of choreography on the beach ended as an inspiring chapter in Chennai’s cultural calendar.
Timeless Saga of Storytelling
In the fading light of a February evening in Bengaluru, Karnataka, an expectant hush fell over the auditorium as the curtains slowly parted. What followed was no ordinary stage play. It was history in motion, not just the ancient kind, but the kind being made in that very moment. For nearly seven hours, the audience remained enthralled as two of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata, unfolded seamlessly on one stage in a singular, groundbreaking performance.
The production, titled Yuge Yuge, marked a first-of-its-kind moment in Indian theatre. Brought to life by the Karunada Ranga Kalavidara Okkoota of Bengaluru and directed by the seasoned dramatist Dr SLN Swamy, the play brought together the moral dilemmas, divine interventions, familial struggles, and epic battles of both mythologies in one continuous narrative. As the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) confirmed the feat on March 17, 2025, it was not just the record that left an impression, but the daring vision that made it possible.
Staged on February 2, 2025, Yuge Yuge was not simply a retelling of two epics. It was a convergence of philosophies and eras, where Rama and Krishna seemed to breathe the same air, and characters from vastly different timelines
shared a common space. The six-hour-and-forty-eight-minute performance challenged conventions, not only in duration but in the very concept of storytelling. Written and directed by Dr Swamy and based on a concept by Rangasri Ranga Swamy, the play required intense coordination, stamina, and a deep reverence for the material. All of which were evident in every scene.
Dr SLN Swamy’s name is no stranger to innovation in theatre. Known for his ability to combine classical themes with social consciousness, he had previously made waves with Janaka Jaathe Janaki, a play that mapped the entire life of Sita, and Nannolagina Naanu, which tackled women’s exploitation. With Yuge Yuge, he raised the bar yet again, proving that the myths of yore still have the power to move modern audiences, if told with care, courage, and creativity.
What made the performance more remarkable was the scale and discipline with which it was executed. The cast flowed effortlessly from one character to another, sometimes embodying gods, other times humans torn between duty and desire. There were no staggering transitions, no loss of energy,
only a poetic merging of destinies that left the audience awed and moved in equal measure.
The record set by Yuge Yuge is not merely one of duration or innovation. It reflects the enduring relevance of Indian epics and their ability to evolve through new forms. In an age where attention spans flicker and storytelling is often condensed into seconds, this marathon play served as a reminder of theatre’s capacity to both preserve and transform tradition.
As the final bows were taken and the audience stood in applause, there was a palpable sense that something rare had been witnessed, not just a record-setting attempt, but a living bridge between the ancient and the contemporary. And as Dr Swamy accepted the recognition with quiet grace, it was clear that this was not the end of a creative journey, but the beginning of another chapter in the timeless saga of Indian storytelling.
Blending ancient legends with modern theatre, a record-setting performance brought the Ramayana and Mahabharata together in a single production for the first time in India setting an extraordinary national record.
Corporate Flag Rises in Glory
As the dhols echoed through the air and lavani dancers swirled in vibrant traditional attire, the energy was unmistakably electric. A live Marathi folk performance set the stage, bringing a rich cultural pulse to a truly historic moment. Against the spirited rhythm of Maharashtra’s heritage, a massive cloth flag, measuring a monumental 40 feet by 60 feet, began to unfurl slowly from the facade of the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) headquarters in Mumbai.
The extraordinary celebration marked the golden jubilee of one of India’s most respected maritime organisations. They had chosen to make history, quite literally, in the process. With India Book of Records (IBR) adjudicator, Narvijay Yadav, present to witness and validate the feat, the organisation officially set the remarkable record for the largest corporate flag made on a cloth.
Woven with precision and bearing the bold insignia, emblem, and colours of the Indian Register of Shipping, the flag was more than just fabric. It was a sweeping symbol of legacy and
forward momentum, which has been full of pride and a golden history. As it soared across the backdrop of a blue Mumbai sky, every stitch seemed to carry stories of ships surveyed, milestones achieved, and decades of contribution to India’s maritime journey.
Inside the grand hall of the main building, the atmosphere was equally charged. Merchant Navy shipping models, meticulously crafted and proudly displayed, drew visitors and staff alike into the world Indian Register of Shipping has long stood for. They served as reminders of the organisation’s technical depth and enduring commitment to excellence in the shipping industry.
From its founding in 1975, the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has grown into a cornerstone of India’s maritime architecture, offering classification, certification, and inspection services that help safeguard vessels and their crews. The decision to commemorate 50 years with an event of this scale reflects not only the organisation’s pride in its past but its vibrant vision for the future.
In an era driven by digital screens and fleeting visuals, there was something movingly timeless about watching an enormous, physical flag billow with the breeze, especially when surrounded by the very people who built the legacy it represents. Officials, engineers, technicians, and support staff from across departments gathered in unison, many capturing the moment on their phones, while others simply stood in quiet awe.
Adding to the celebration, the Indian Register of Shipping premises had undergone a refreshing green transformation. Large-scale plantation efforts had recently been carried out, and the freshly planted saplings stood like silent witnesses to the dual celebration of legacy and sustainability. As the formal felicitation began, applause filled the hall and later the grounds outside of the building.
A medal and the record certificate were handed over to Indian Register of Shipping officials, sealing the organisation’s name in the India Book of Records. But for those present, the most

powerful moment had already taken place, the moment the flag rose, fuelled by a drumbeat of tradition, unity, and vision. The event was a living reminder that while ships may cross oceans and satellites may track voyages, it is people, heritage, and purpose that anchor organisations in greatness. In a single sweeping gesture, one colossal flag rising against the Mumbai skyline, the Indian Register of Shipping honoured 50 years of excellence and looked boldly towards the next horizon.
Beating the Silent Threat
Nearly one in four Indian adults suffers from hypertension (high blood pressure), yet less than half are aware of it, as revealed by the national health data. With unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles, and rising stress levels, even younger populations are now at risk. For many, high blood pressure is just a number that never gets checked until it’s too late. But one pharmaceutical company decided to break the pattern. That was Ajanta Pharma Limited, which started an initiative to bring a change in this situation.
In a historic health drive that spanned 279 days, Ajanta Pharma Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, undertook a mammoth campaign to address the often-ignored menace of hypertension. From the sweltering summer of May 2024 to the mellow winter of February 2025, the company conducted 4209 heart rate and blood pressure screening camps across the nation. Their relentless commitment led to the screening of 52,029 individuals, helping many discover early signs of high blood pressure, a condition widely dubbed the “silent killer.”
This extraordinary achievement was recognised by the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) on March 5, 2025. IBR adjudicator, Kashmira Shah, presented a medal and the record certificate to Ajanta Pharma officials during a celebratory event that officially acknowledged the campaign’s wide-reaching social impact. High blood pressure often shows no symptoms until a serious complication strikes like stroke, heart failure, or kidney damage. By then, medical intervention becomes critical and expensive. Early detection, by contrast, can be as simple as a five-minute check-up at a neighbourhood camp.
From bustling cities to remote towns, the camps became hubs of conversation, awareness, and preventive care. Medical professionals and volunteers educated attendees not just about readings, but about lifestyle changes like eating habits, exercise, stress management, and the dangers of self-medication. Ajanta Pharma’s project was not just about ticking boxes. It aimed to shift a national mindset from treatment to prevention. The impact has been twofold. First, thousands who walked into the
camps left with potentially life-saving knowledge and, in some cases, referrals for further care. Second, the initiative sent a clear message to corporate India that health awareness does not always require grand hospital setups. Sometimes, all it takes is a team, a vision, and consistency.
The campaign found additional resonance on social media. With regular updates on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, Ajanta’s initiative stirred conversation among health-conscious individuals, doctors, and organisations alike. The visibility helped normalise routine screening as part of everyday wellness, something India has long needed. The recognition by the IBR marked a moment of pride, but for Ajanta Pharma, it

was also a reminder of responsibility. As the company reflected on the months-long campaign, its leadership reiterated their commitment to preventive health and outreach.
As India grapples with rising rates of lifestyle diseases, the importance of such efforts cannot be overstated. Blood pressure and heart rate may be just numbers, but they hold the power to shape lives. Through the 4209 camps across the country, 52,029 people now have a clearer understanding of what those numbers mean. In a world often caught up in curative medicine, Ajanta Pharma’s record-breaking campaign is a timely reminder that prevention, when powered by purpose, can be just as impactful.
Hands Raised for a Cause
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that typically affects the small joints in the hands and feet. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis targets the lining of the joints, causing painful swelling that can eventually lead to bone erosion and joint deformity. The condition does not just stop at the joints. In some cases, it can affect other parts of the body, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels. On a crisp winter morning in Nashik, Maharashtra, a field near the city’s heart slowly began to fill with people, not for a rally or a celebration, but for something far more meaningful.
At first glance, the gathering in Nashik, looked like any other community event. But as volunteers moved into position, aligning carefully on a vast open ground, something extraordinary began to take shape. By mid-morning, 750 individuals stood together to form the largest-ever human depiction of a Rheumatoid Arthritis-affected hand. Spanning an impressive 100 feet in length and 70 feet in width, the formation was a powerful visual message. It was for a larger cause. That
was, raising awareness about a painful and often misunderstood condition.
This symbolic act was led by Dr Prachi Patil, a renowned rheumatologist and the driving force behind the Ojas Arthritis and Rheumatology Centre in Nashik city. Known for her patientcentric work and advocacy for early diagnosis, Dr Patil has long championed public awareness initiatives to demystify autoimmune conditions. This latest endeavour, officially recognised by the Asia Book of Records (ABR) on March 19, 2025, added another remarkable feather to her cap. But more importantly, it put Rheumatoid Arthritis in the public spotlight like never before.
Despite affecting millions, Rheumatoid Arthritis often remains undiagnosed in its early stages. Symptoms like morning stiffness, fatigue, and joint swelling are frequently brushed off or mistaken for ageing or stress-related discomfort. This is precisely why public awareness initiatives like the Nashik human formation are crucial. They compel the public to pause, observe, and learn.
The logistics of the event were as intricate as the cause it supported. Participants, a diverse mix of students, healthcare workers, and concerned citizens, had rehearsed in batches to ensure precision. A drone hovered overhead to capture the complete aerial view of the human hand. Its contorted fingers symbolised the stiffness and deformation Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers endure. The visual was both startling and moving, driving home the seriousness of the disease.
As the crowd dispersed and the final photos were taken, there was a collective sense that something significant had just occurred. The people of Nashik city used their physical presence to speak louder than words. And in doing so, they quite literally put their hands up for a cause that affects millions yet remains under-discussed. It was a moment where medicine met movement, and where a community stood united, not in protest or celebration, but in awareness.
In a moving visual spectacle, hundreds gathered in Nashik, Maharashtra to raise awareness about Rheumatoid Arthritis through a recordsetting human formation, which made its way to Asia Book of Records.
A Vision Etched in Sand
Eye donation allows individuals to restore sight to those who would otherwise spend their lives in darkness. Yet, despite millions in need, the number of actual donors remains dismally low, often hindered by myths, hesitation, or sheer unawareness. The Kuakhai sand sculpture sought to change that in Odisha. At the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar, something extraordinary took shape, quite literally.
A team of volunteers, artists, and visionaries stood ankle-deep in sand, sculpting with purpose. By midday, what began as a mound of earth had transformed into something astonishing; an enormous eye, carved entirely from sand, staring out across the riverbank. It was not an ordinary art installation. It was a message, one crafted with 1500 metric tons of sand, measuring a staggering 195 feet in length and 32 feet in height. This eye, silent yet evocative, spoke of sight, awareness, and the profound power of giving.
This grand initiative was orchestrated by Rotary International District 3262, under the leadership of District Governor Rtn Yagyansis Mohapatra, in celebration of the 120th World Rotary Day. The objective was to raise public awareness about eye
donation and spark a movement around the urgent need for more donors. Every curve of the sculpture was sculpted with care, echoing the idea that vision is not merely biological. It is a gift, one that can be passed on, even after death.
Positioned in a public space and impossible to ignore, it invited passers-by to stop, observe, and reflect. The sheer scale of the sculpture ensured it would capture attention, but it was the message it carried, of hope, of second chances, of seeing the world anew, that truly resonated.
Media and public authorities took notice too. Asia Book of Records (ABR) and the India Book of Records (IBR) recognised the achievement. In the last week of February 2025, ABR and IBR adjudicator, Krishna Kumar Gupta, officially announced the sand sculpture as the Biggest Sand Eye Sculpture Made to Promote Eye Donation. He gave away medals and record certificates to the organisers on behalf of the India and Asia Book of Records.
For the volunteers and organisers, however, the recognition was only part of the story. What mattered more for them was the public awareness sparked by this dramatic display on the
river bank. Local schools brought students to witness the sand artwork, while residents took selfies and shared the images widely on social media, multiplying the sculpture’s impact far beyond Bhubaneswar, the capital and the largest city of Odisha.
The symbolism was striking. Eyes, the windows to the soul, rendered in a medium as fragile and fleeting as sand. It was a powerful reminder that, though life is transient the choice to donate eyes can leave a lasting imprint. Just as the tide may eventually wash the sand sculpture away, its core message will linger for longer time, embedded in the minds of those who saw this meaningful activity. As evening fell and the giant eye caught the glow of the setting sun, it seemed almost alive, as if it watched, waited, and hoped. Not for glory or recognition, but for awareness. For compassion. And for a future where no one is denied the simple joy of sight.
On the banks of Odisha’s Kuakhai River,
a monumental sand sculpture shaped like a human eye sent a powerful message about eye donation and the gift of sight. It was a
Rotary International District 3262’s initiative.
Darkness to Light
India has one of the highest numbers of corneal blindness cases in the world. Yet, every year, thousands of donated eyes go unused simply scrolled
through its usual routine, an extraordinary ripple of hope began spreading across India. It was not from a grand stage or a bustling event, but through mobile screens and quiet clicks of commitment.
It was March 9, 2025, when Rotaract District Organisation of Rotary International District 3131 in Pune, Maharashtra, embarked on a remarkable mission. It was to unite the nation in pledging for a cause that rarely gets the attention it deserves.
The cause is eye donation. Under the inspiring leadership of PHF DRR Drishti Singh, Project Drishti was launched with a heartfelt goal of gifting sight, one pledge at a time. The mission was simple yet profoundly impactful.
Project Drishti wanted to encourage as many individuals as possible to pledge their eyes after death, giving the gift of vision to someone trapped in a world of darkness. And they did just that, with 1753 people from all parts of the country logging in, clicking, and pledging their eyes. Not for a prize, not for publicity, but for humanity. This digital drive did not rely on fanfare. There were no flashing lights or stadiums packed with crowds. The success lay in its quiet sincerity and powerful purpose.
The campaign worked through awareness videos, social media engagement, and the passionate mobilisation of Rotaract Clubs across the country. As word spread, pledges poured in; not just from Pune, but from metros, towns, and remote corners alike. Families spoke about it over breakfast, students discussed it in college canteens, and Rotaractors used every conversation to bring up the importance of eye donation.
The effort culminated in a well-earned place in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) – the leading records keeper of the nation. IBR adjudicator, Chitra Jain, verified and confirmed the record for Maximum People Taking Online Pledge for Eye Donation in a Day and felicitated the organisers with a medal and certificates. The recognition was special, but for the team behind Project Drishti, the true reward lay in each of the 1753 commitments. Each pledge taker represented a life that could
see again. Behind every pledge was a person willing to become someone’s miracle.
Drishti Singh, brimming with emotion after the announcement, called it “a movement of the heart”. She thanked every Rotaractor and supporter, saying, “Together, we have proven that change can happen not with grand gestures, but with quiet promises made from the soul.”
The ripple created on March 9 did not stop there. The campaign continues to inspire action. Students are forming
Rotaract District 3131 of Pune set a national record by gathering 1753 online pledges for eye donation in a single day, raising public awareness for sight restoration and the fight against blindness in the country.
awareness clubs, NGOs have requested partnerships, and Rotaract Clubs nationwide are planning follow-up drives. Project Drishti has started a wave of consciousness, one that may help countless blind individuals rediscover the world around them. For those who pledged, it was more than a digital signature. It was a commitment to light, legacy, and love.
Together Against T2DM
In clinics across the length and breadth of India, from bustling metros to quieter townships, something remarkable unfolded in the final week of February 2025. Doctors paused between patient consultations, nurses scrolled through clinical updates on their screens, and medical practitioners leaned over devices, absorbed in data and digital pages. It was not just routine professional development. It was a major movement to tackle the menace of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
From February 22 to 27, 2025, Zydus Healthcare Limited, based in Maharashtra, launched a pioneering campaign that brought together an astounding 12,334 healthcare professionals (HCPs)
raise awareness about the latest advancements and clinical approaches in managing one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus affects millions globally, with India witnessing a growing burden due to genetic predisposition, changing lifestyles, and dietary patterns. While treatment protocols continue to evolve, a consistent gap has been knowledge dissemination. The campaign ensured that frontline healthcare providers are equipped with the latest research and strategies. This is where the IndiTimes campaign sought to make a significant difference.
Over 12,000 healthcare professionals joined hands in a record-breaking digital reading initiative on Type 2 diabetes management, uniting clinical spaces across India in the pursuit of better outcomes.
content during their regular working hours, without disrupting patient care. It was a subtle yet impactful shift, respecting the rhythm of everyday clinical practice while infusing it with learning.
The response exceeded expectations. In clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals alike, the message spread efficiently. It was actually a unified effort to deepen understanding of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and improve patient outcomes through knowledge. The scale and seriousness of the activity soon drew national attention. On March 15, Asia Book of Records (ABR) adjudicator Franklin Herbert Das officially announced the record. He presented a medal and a record certificate to the
Zydus Healthcare officials for achieving the maximum number of healthcare professionals participating in such an important initiative.
But the numbers reveal only a part of the story. The real achievement was in what it achieved. It was a shift towards self-initiated, digitally enabled learning in healthcare. In an era where medical science advances swiftly, and patient expectations rise in tandem, staying updated is not optional, but it is essential.
The campaign’s ‘Powering Outcomes’ theme, with its focus on efficacy, safety, and adherence in diabetes care, resonated with healthcare professionals navigating real-world challenges daily. By reinforcing clinical insights directly within the setting of care delivery, it blurred the lines between learning and practice, turning clinics into classrooms and professionals into participants in a shared mission.
What began as a digital reading initiative quickly evolved into a major revolution. It was a revolution that fuelled thousands of individual acts of commitment. Each screen opened, each page read, and each insight absorbed became part of a broader push toward a healthier, more informed India. As the campaign wrapped up, it left behind more than just an Asia-level record - it left behind a powerful message: when knowledge is made accessible, relevant, and timely, it has the ability to ripple far beyond its source, directly into the lives of the patients who need it most.
From Valleys to the Clouds
When the sun rose over the lush, water-laced fields of Kuttanad in Kerala, few could have imagined that a modest-looking scooter revving up its engine there was about to make history. But what began at 7.20 am on March 25, 2025, was not just a cross-country ride; it was an odyssey from India’s lowest region to its highest inhabited village, Komic in Himachal Pradesh. In just 103 hours and 45 minutes, a determined team from Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd rode their Suzuki Access 125cc scooter through plains, coastlines, cityscapes, deserts and mountains; finally halting at 3.05 pm on March 29, 2025, on the breathtaking plateau of Komic.
The entire journey spanned a staggering 3,696 kilometres, weaving through one of the
most geographically diverse routes the country has to offer. This daring expedition entered the pages of the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR), with adjudicators Sam George and Sanjay Bhola validating the feat and honouring the team. The journey did not just mark a mechanical milestone, it became a symbol of resilience, adventure, and belief in possibility.
While the record is an engineering triumph for Suzuki Access 125cc, designed primarily for urban commuting, it also speaks volumes about the untapped capabilities of vehicles when paired with daring vision and meticulous planning. Traversing from below sea level in the green
embrace of Kerala’s backwaters to 15,000 feet above sea level in the stark, thin-aired Himalayan desert is no ordinary task.
Weather swung like a pendulum, from humid warmth to snowbitten chill. Roads ranged from butter-smooth highways to unpredictable rocky trails. Yet, the scooter handled every twist and bump, holding its own against the might of geography. Each halt along the route was not just for fuel or food, but a reminder of India’s breathtaking contrasts. Riders met curious villagers in the Deccan, dodged traffic in bustling towns, and gradually felt the air thin as they entered Himachal’s winding roads. With every passing kilometre, the Access 125cc scooter was not just climbing a map, but it gained wide recognition.
Suzuki’s motive was not just about speed. The company intended to demonstrate the reliability, efficiency and performance of the scooter under extreme conditions; something that directly connects with the aspirations of everyday riders. After all, the Access 125 is a scooter spotted on every Indian street, now with a badge of honour attached. This extraordinary ride also shines a light on the growing trend of
adventure-led branding, where performance is proven not in labs or charts, but on the road, under real pressure. It is here, amidst dust storms and altitude sickness, that machines are truly tested and riders find their mettle.
For Suzuki Motorcycle India, this expedition may have ended at Komic, but the impact it leaves behind travels much further. The record is not just about being the fastest; it’s about reaching higher, literally and metaphorically. As the riders dismounted their now-legendary Access scooters in the cold, silent village perched in the clouds, it was not just the echo of engines that lingered. It was the reminder that even the humblest of machines, when backed by bold intent, can reach unimaginable heights.
Suzuki Motorcycle India set a record with the fastest scooter ride from India’s lowest to highest altitude village, that is 3,696 km in 103 hours, showcasing endurance, terrain versatility and sheer grit by the two-wheeler.
Doctors Against Diabetes
India is waking up to an alarming health crisis. One that does not make headlines every day but quietly affects millions. Diabetes, often dubbed the ‘silent killer’, has gripped the country with unprecedented force. With over 10 crore diagnosed diabetics and countless others undiagnosed or prediabetic, India faces a looming public health emergency. The disease does not discriminate by age or geography. It sneaks into homes in villages and cities alike, complicating lives with fatigue, blurred vision, heart trouble, and kidney failure.
Amidst this growing concern, a wave of collective action emerged, which was powered by doctors themselves. In an extraordinary initiative led by Sun Pharma Laboratories Ltd, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, a record-setting 275 doctors stepped forward to become the voice of change. Their mission was to educate people about diabetes through the most accessible platforms like social media and radio broadcast.
For several days, the airwaves and newsfeeds were filled with vital insights like how diabetes begins, what habits fuel it, and how it can be prevented or controlled. On Facebook, short informative videos from doctors offered bite-sized wisdom on diet, exercise, and the importance of regular medical checkups. On regional radio stations like Red FM Telugu and many others, doctors reached homes that may have never seen a specialist, explaining in simple language why early intervention matters.
The reach was massive, but more importantly, the message was crystal clear that diabetes is not a death sentence if diagnosed early and managed properly. Lifestyle changes, adherence to medical advice, and a conscious approach to diet and movement can go a long way in controlling the menace. The effort was formally acknowledged on March 25, 2025, when Asia Book of Records (ABR) adjudicator, Kashmira Shah announced the record for Maximum Doctors Raised Diabetes Awareness through Social Media and Radio Campaign. At a felicitation event, she presented a medal and a certificate to Sun Pharma’s officials, recognising their outstanding coordination in mobilising the medical community for a cause that touches every household.
The campaign gained further weight when Dr Ashok Kumar Bhattacharya, Global Health Care Consultant, applauded the initiative. “This is indeed a Good and Great Initiative,” he said.
“All the Best Team Sun Pharma to create high decibel voice in not only creating awareness of diabetes but also the importance of controlling diabetes by adherence to physicians’ advice and prevent complications.”
What set this campaign apart was its grassroots reach and practical, no-nonsense messaging. It wasn’t an expensive TV ad or a celebrity endorsement - it was real doctors speaking directly to real people about sugar levels, insulin resistance,
portion control, and the importance of walking for thirty minutes a day.
As non-communicable diseases like diabetes become the leading cause of illness in India, focused, doctor-led initiatives like this are more essential than ever. The true success of this campaign lies in the thousands who heard the message and took a small but meaningful step toward a healthier life.
The fight against diabetes is far from over, but when doctors come together and corporations like Sun Pharma go beyond commerce to embrace care, the tide begins to turn.
In a high-impact awareness drive, 275 doctors across India joined forces on social media and radio platforms to educate the public on diabetes prevention, early detection, and management strategies.
Responsible Use of Antibiotics
It began not in a hospital ward, but in quiet clinics, consultation rooms, and digital chat windows. An invisible movement was taking shape across India. While most campaigns rely on posters and public rallies, this one drew its power from the quiet conviction of thousands of medical professionals who know that the next global health threat might not be a new virus, but an old medicine rendered useless, that is antibiotics. From November 11 to 28, 2024, Micro Labs Ltd spearheaded a national initiative that brought 10,215 doctors together through an online platform.
The participating doctors’ mission was to pledge support for responsible antibiotic use and raise awareness about the very real dangers of overuse and misuse. The initiative, which gained momentum across states, was recognised by the Asia Book of Records (ABR) on January 4, 2025. The timing could not have been more critical. India is among the world’s largest consumers of antibiotics, and yet, awareness about when and how to use them remains alarmingly low. People often reach for antibiotics at the first sign of a cold or fever, unaware that
most such infections are viral, and antibiotics have no effect on viruses. It causes a silent and growing crisis called antimicrobial resistance.
When antibiotics are used unnecessarily or stopped midway, bacteria evolve to outsmart the medicine meant to kill them. The result is longer hospital stays, more complicated infections, and a shrinking list of effective drugs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), antimicrobial resistance is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. It is this looming danger that Micro Labs sought to counter, not with scare tactics, but with science and solidarity.
Doctors were invited to digitally pledge their commitment to spreading awareness among patients, prescribing antibiotics judiciously, and reinforcing the importance of completing full courses when required. Each pledge was a step toward a more informed and cautious public. Many doctors followed up with social media posts, clinic posters, and patient education leaflets in local languages. The ripple effect was substantial,
with patients asking more questions and pharmacists becoming more alert to unprescribed purchases.
The achievement was acknowledged by Asia Book of Records, where representatives verified and validated the scale of participation. In a brief felicitation, officials praised the company for mobilising such a large section of the healthcare community for a pressing and often-overlooked cause. Unlike dramatic emergencies, antibiotic resistance is slow and steady, but deadly nonetheless. It affects people of all ages, across urban and rural India. Treating something as simple as a urinary tract infection can become a challenge if standard antibiotics stop working. That’s why initiatives like this hold the key to prevention.
As India continues its healthcare journey in the face of global challenges, the role of doctors becomes ever more pivotal. Campaigns like these show that awareness does not always need a microphone; sometimes, it begins with a pledge, a prescription, and a patient who learns why popping a pill without reason could cost him dearly later. With over 10,000 doctors standing firm, this was a call to action, and hopefully, a new prescription for change.
Over 10,000 doctors across India pledged digitally to raise awareness about the responsible use of antibiotics, spotlighting the urgent need to combat misuse and growing antimicrobial resistance.
Waves of Courage and Change
Stephen Kumar of Hyderabad, Telangana, born in 2004 and now in university, grew up watching his mother train, compete and campaign. For him, the sea has always been both playground and protest ground. He said, “I’ve seen friends and classmates affected by drugs. I’ve seen lakes and rivers in Hyderabad choked with plastic. This was our way to show that awareness can be active, not passive.” He, along with his mother, created history in the sea.
On an overcast morning off the Goan coast, two determined swimmers braved the unpredictable tides of the Arabian Sea, pushing past exhaustion and salt-soaked currents. It was a symbolic relay of hope and determination. Queeni Victoriya Gandam and her 21-year-old son, Stephen, embarked on a fivehour, 53-minute nonstop swimming relay, covering a staggering 11 kilometres from Vagator to Candolim Beach. They aimed to etch their names in record books and, more importantly, to ignite conversation around the twin challenges of drug abuse and water pollution.
This unique feat, confirmed on March 4, 2025, by the Asia Book of Records (ABR) and India Book of Records (IBR), is now officially recognised as the longest nonstop swimming relay by a duo in a sea. It was a carefully synchronised swim; Queeni and
Stephen alternating in precise rhythm, neither resting on their laurels nor solid ground until the final stroke met the sand of Candolim Beach at 2.28 pm.
The journey began at 8.35 am from the rocks of Vagator, where the Arabian Sea greets Goa’s northern coast with its unrelenting swell. With lifeguards trailing in kayaks and a support crew maintaining strict monitoring, the duo set off under the watchful eyes of adjudicator Rekha Singh. The mother, a seasoned swimmer and open water campaigner, and her son, a young athlete inspired by her legacy, shared not just strokes but a powerful message stitched into every wave they conquered.
Queeni, born in 1980, is no stranger to the water or breaking barriers. Having previously become the first Telugu woman to participate in a relay that crossed the English Channel, she has long used swimming as a form of advocacy. “Water is life, yet we poison it. Youth are the future, yet we lose them to addiction,” she said after emerging from the surf, her voice hoarse but her spirit intact. “We swam to remind people that both can be saved, but only if we act now.”
Safety measures, training regimens and environmental permissions were all secured in advance. The record attempt actually became a gathering point for local schoolchildren,
beachgoers and volunteers, who carried banners along the shoreline and cleaned plastic waste from the sands during the swim. What made this relay remarkable was the deeply personal bond between the swimmers. Mother and son, separated by a 24-year age gap, swam as equals; a rare sporting duo whose unity was forged over years of shared discipline and shared ideals.
The achievement now stands tall as a vivid demonstration of how sport, family and purpose can coalesce into something meaningful. The Arabian Sea, that morning, became more

than water; it turned into a canvas for courage, a call to action painted in every ripple they created. For Queeni and Stephen, the real finish line was never Candolim Beach. It lies further ahead, in cleaner water bodies, in drug-free futures, and in the minds of those who watched and listened.
India’s Kidney Care Milestone
It started with quiet urgency in clinics, community halls, and mobile health vans scattered across the country. From Hyderabad’s bustling city clinics to outreach points in smaller towns, a simple yet vital test was being administered to thousands. A blood screening that could detect early signs of kidney trouble before symptoms even began. Between March 6-8, 2025, 4534 individuals underwent Serum Creatinine Tests across multiple venues in India, marking a national milestone in preventive healthcare.
Spearheaded by Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited, Hyderabad, the campaign set a new record for the maximum number of people screened for this crucial kidney function test. The India Book of Records (IBR) acknowledged the achievement. Unlike high-profile health events that draw attention with large banners or celebrity endorsements, this campaign unfolded with a sense of quiet purpose. At its heart lay a clear objective, to raise awareness about kidney health and encourage early diagnosis.
The Serum Creatinine Test, a basic yet powerful indicator of kidney function, provided the perfect entry point. By measuring creatinine levels in the blood, doctors can assess how effectively the kidneys are filtering waste, a key marker in identifying potential renal issues. The timing of the campaign, close to World Kidney Day, was deliberate. Organisers hoped to spark national conversation around kidney health, a topic often sidelined in routine medical check-ups despite the rising incidence of chronic kidney disease in India.
With over seven crore Indians estimated to be affected by kidney-related conditions and many unaware of their deteriorating health, the scale and reach of this initiative carried significance far beyond the numbers. Volunteers, nephrologists, technicians and administrative teams worked across cities, managing logistics with remarkable efficiency. Camps were set up in hospitals, corporate offices, residential societies, and even remote rural outposts.
The outreach model was built for accessibility. No registration fee, minimal paperwork, and results communicated clearly to each participant. The idea was not merely to break a record, but to remove barriers that often prevent people from seeking medical attention early. Nephrocare’s leadership shared that the campaign had been months in the making. From data handling systems to ensuring the quality of test results across dispersed venues, the execution required precision.
What made the effort stand out, was the human connection. The face-to-face interactions, the counselling sessions offered post-screening, and the sense of reassurance participants felt in having taken a step towards proactive health management. Soon, local clinics reported a noticeable uptick in follow-up visits. Some individuals who had never previously undergone a kidney check-up were now scheduling appointments, sharing reports, and asking the right questions. While medical intervention is the domain of professionals, awareness can be sparked in just a few minutes with a needle, a vial, and a conversation.
As healthcare slowly transitions from a reactive to a proactive model, campaigns like this don’t just serve data or meet targets, they create ripples of awareness in homes, communities, and cities. In a country where access to specialised care can still be uneven, this multi-city campaign demonstrated how collective effort, efficient planning and a single diagnostic test can make a lasting difference. And in doing so, Nephrocare sparked a successful movement.
