 *झी टीव्हीवरील ‘सा रे ग म प 2026’ : आपल्या नवीन भव्य पर्वासह पुन्हा येत आहे;*

हिंदी झी5 वरही होणार प्रसारण

मुंबई, 16 सप्टेंबर 2026: झी टीव्हीने आज मुंबईत एका विशेष पत्रकार परिषदेत लोकप्रिय आणि प्रतिष्ठित गायन रिअॅलिटी शो ‘सा रे ग म प’ च्या नवीन पर्वाची घोषणा केली. संगीताचा उत्सव साजरा करणाऱ्या ‘हिंदुस्तान का संगीतस्थान’ या संकल्पनेवर आधारित या नवीन पर्वाची झलक यावेळी माध्यमांना दाखवण्यात आली. तसेच, अत्याधुनिक व्हर्च्युअल रिअॅलिटी (VR) अनुभवाच्या माध्यमातून ‘सा रे ग म प 2026’ च्या भव्य आणि आकर्षक नव्या सेटचे प्रथम दर्शनही घडवण्यात आले. ह्या शो चा प्रीमियर 19 सप्टेंबर 2026 रोजी होणार असून हा कार्यक्रम दर शनिवार आणि रविवारी रात्री 9:30 वाजता झी टीव्ही आणि हिंदी झी5 वर प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला येणार आहे.

जवळपास तीन दशकांची समृद्ध परंपरा, अस्सल संगीत आणि विलक्षण गायक प्रतिभेला व्यासपीठ देण्याचा वारसा जपणाऱ्या ‘सा रे ग म प’च्या नव्या पर्वात प्रेक्षकांना पारंपरिक गायन स्पर्धेपलीकडचा एक भव्य संगीत अनुभव मिळणार आहे. नेत्रदीपक 360 अंशांचा मंच, 100 हून अधिक संगीतकार आणि विशाल कोरस समूहाच्या सहभागामुळे हा कार्यक्रम दूरचित्रवाणीवरील एका भव्य लाईव्ह कॉन्सर्टचा अनुभव देणार आहे. त्याचबरोबर भारतीय संगीत परंपरेचे वैभव, विविधता आणि समृद्ध सांगीतिक वारसा नव्या पर्वातून प्रभावीपणे प्रेक्षकांसमोर सादर केला जाणार आहे.

सुमारे तीन दशकांपासून ‘सा रे ग म प’ हा कार्यक्रम गायन क्षेत्रातील नवोदित प्रतिभेचा शोध घेणारे, त्यांना घडवणारे आणि त्यांच्या कलेचा गौरव करणारे विश्वासार्ह व्यासपीठ म्हणून ओळखला जातो. या कार्यक्रमाची लोकप्रियता टिकून राहण्यामागील सर्वांत मोठे कारण म्हणजे बदलत्या काळानुसार आणि प्रेक्षकांच्या आवडीनिवडींनुसार स्वरूपात बदल झाले तरी अस्सल संगीत आणि खऱ्या गायक प्रतिभेला त्यांनी दिलेले सातत्यपूर्ण प्राधान्य हे आहे. याच समृद्ध वारशाला पुढे नेत झी टीव्ही आता संगीताला पूर्णपणे समर्पित असे एक स्वतंत्र विश्व उभारत आहे. येथे ध्वनी, संगीतकौशल्य, सादरीकरण आणि दृश्यरचना अशा प्रत्येक घटकाची सांगड घालून संगीतकलेचा भव्य उत्सव साजरा करण्यात येणार आहे.

यंदाच्या पर्वात देशातील विविध भागांतील समृद्ध संगीत परंपरांचा सुरेल संगम पाहायला मिळणार आहे. मंत्रमुग्ध करणाऱ्या सादरीकरणांद्वारे भारतीय संगीताची विविधता, समृद्धता आणि सांस्कृतिक वारसा अधिक प्रभावीपणे उलगडला जाणार आहे, तर त्याचवेळी कार्यक्रमाच्या मूळ आत्म्याशीही प्रामाणिक राहण्यात येणार आहे. या अनुभवाला आणखी भव्यता देण्यासाठी विशेष 360 अंशांचा आकर्षक सेट उभारण्यात आला आहे. भारतीय संगीत रिअॅलिटी शोच्या इतिहासात प्रथमच अशा प्रकारचा सेट साकारण्यात आला असून त्याच्या माध्यमातून ‘हिंदुस्तान का संगीतस्थान’ हे अनोखे संगीतविश्व प्रेक्षकांसमोर जिवंत होणार आहे.

या पर्वात संगीतविश्वातील चार दिग्गज गुरु - शंकर महादेवन, कुमार सानू, नीति मोहन आणि जावेद अली यांची उपस्थिती विशेष आकर्षण ठरणार आहे. विविध संगीतप्रकारांतील त्यांच्या प्रदीर्घ अनुभवाचा लाभ स्पर्धकांना मिळणार असून ते केवळ सादरीकरणांचे परीक्षण करणार नाहीत, तर संपूर्ण स्पर्धेदरम्यान आपल्या ज्ञानाचा, अनुभवाचा आणि दृष्टीकोनाचा खजिना स्पर्धकांसोबत वाटून त्यांना मार्गदर्शनही करणार आहेत. यंदाच्या पर्वाचे सूत्रसंचालन अभिनेता श्रेयस तळपदे करणार असून त्यांच्या उपस्थितीमुळे या भव्य संगीतसोहळ्याला आणखी रंगत प्राप्त होणार आहे.

ह्या नव्या पर्वाविषयी बोलताना झी एंटरटेनमेंट एंटरप्रायझेस लिमिटेड (झील) चे मुख्य कंटेंट अधिकारी राघवेंद्र हुन्सूर म्हणाले, 

"‘सा रे ग म प’ हे झीने भारताला दिलेले सर्वात जुने आणि विश्वासार्ह वचन आहे. जवळपास तीन दशकांपासून ही मालिका अस्सल संगीत आणि खऱ्या गायक प्रतिभेचे प्रतीक म्हणून ओळखली जाते. या काळात तिने अशी कामगिरी केली आहे, जी कोणतेही व्यासपीठ किंवा कोणताही अल्गोरिदम करू शकत नाही. तिने भारतीय संगीताला स्वतःची प्रतिभा ओळखण्याची संधी दिली आहे. झीमध्ये आमचा विश्वास आहे की कोणतीही प्रतिष्ठित मालमत्ता काळानुसार विकसित होत राहिली पाहिजे आणि स्वतःला नव्याने सादर केले पाहिजे, पण त्याचवेळी तिला खास बनवणाऱ्या मूलभूत मूल्यांशीही प्रामाणिक राहिले पाहिजे. आम्ही केवळ काळाच्या ओघात महत्त्व टिकवून ठेवण्याचा प्रयत्न करत नाही, तर दीर्घकाळ टिकणाऱ्या सांस्कृतिक संस्था घडवतो.

यंदाच्या पर्वात आम्ही आणखी एक गायन रिअॅलिटी शो तयार करण्यापेक्षा संगीताला पूर्णपणे समर्पित असे एक संपूर्ण विश्व उभारण्याचा प्रयत्न केला आहे. आपल्या मातीशी आणि संगीताशी घट्ट जोडलेली नवी पिढी, त्यांच्या प्रवासाला दिशा देणारे आणि त्यांची प्रतिभा घडवणारे असामान्य संगीतगुरू, तसेच शंभरहून अधिक कलाकारांचा भव्य वाद्यवृंद, ज्यामुळे प्रत्येक आवाजाला त्याच्या स्वप्नांइतकीच मोठी झेप घेण्याची संधी मिळते. भारतीय संगीताची समृद्ध परंपरा आणि वैविध्य हे या पर्वाचे केंद्रस्थान आहे. संगीतकला ज्या भव्यतेची, दर्जाची आणि सन्मानाची हक्कदार आहे, तीच भव्यता, संगीतकौशल्य आणि वैविध्य या पर्वातून अनुभवायला मिळणार आहे. कारण आमच्या मते साधेपणा आणि भव्यता या परस्परविरोधी गोष्टी नाहीत. 

‘हिंदुस्तान का संगीतस्थान’ या संकल्पनेमागे हाच विचार आहे. हे असे पर्व आहे जिथे कलाकार, संगीतकार आणि स्वतः संगीतच केंद्रस्थानी असणार आहे. हे केवळ गायकांचा शोध घेण्याचे व्यासपीठ नाही, तर भारतीय संगीताला स्वतःचे घर सापडण्याचे ठिकाण आहे."

नवीन पर्वाविषयी बोलताना झी टीव्हीचे मुख्य चॅनल अधिकारी मंगेश कुलकर्णी म्हणाले, 

"झी टीव्ही आज प्राइम टाईममध्ये निर्विवादपणे आघाडीवर असून हिंदी जीईसी क्षेत्रातील अव्वल तीन कार्यक्रमांचे घर बनले आहे. हे यश आमच्या प्रेक्षकांनी दिलेल्या भरभरून प्रेमाचे प्रतीक आहे आणि त्यांच्या विश्वासासोबत येणाऱ्या जबाबदारीची जाणीवही करून देते. ‘सा रे ग म प’चा वारसा तीन दशकांहून अधिक काळाचा आहे. या प्रतिष्ठित कार्यक्रमाला पुन्हा प्रेक्षकांसमोर आणताना, त्याची ओळख आणि आत्मा कायम राखत त्याला त्याच्या भव्यतेला साजेशा नव्या स्वरूपात सादर करण्याचा आम्ही प्रयत्न केला आहे. म्हणूनच तो आजही भारतातील सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय गायन मंचांपैकी एक आहे. ‘सा रे ग म प’सारख्या दैदिप्यमान वारशाला नव्याने सादर करताना प्रेक्षकांच्या अपेक्षा किती मोठ्या असतात याची आम्हाला पूर्ण जाणीव आहे. यंदाच्या पर्वात आमचा प्रयत्न केवळ त्या अपेक्षा पूर्ण करण्याचा नाही, तर त्या ओलांडण्याचा आहे. भव्य मंच, लाइव्ह कॉन्सर्टचा अनुभव देणारे सादरीकरण, 100 हून अधिक संगीतकारांचा थेट सहभाग आणि संगीत क्षेत्रातील दिग्गजांचा परीक्षक व मार्गदर्शक म्हणून सहभाग अशा प्रत्येक बाबीची रचना प्रेक्षकांना याआधी कधीही न अनुभवलेला संगीताचा अनुभव देण्यासाठी करण्यात आली आहे. मात्र, या सर्व भव्यतेच्या केंद्रस्थानी ‘सा रे ग म प’ची मूळ ओळख कायम आहे. हे असे व्यासपीठ आहे जिथे प्रतिभा स्वतः बोलते, स्वप्नांना स्वर मिळतात आणि संगीतच सर्वात महत्त्वाचे असते. म्हणूनच ‘सा रे ग म प’ हे ‘हिंदुस्तान का संगीतस्थान’ होते, आहे आणि कायम राहील."

ह्या नवीन पर्वाविषयी बोलताना हिंदी झी5 च्या बिझनेस हेड आणि अँड टीव्हीच्या मुख्य चॅनल अधिकारी कावेरी दास म्हणाल्या, 

"‘सा रे ग म प’ हा झीच्या नॉन-फिक्शन कंटेंटमधील मानाचा तुरा आहे आणि भारतीय मनोरंजनविश्वातील सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय संगीत फ्रँचायझींपैकी एक आहे. अनेक दशकांपासून या कार्यक्रमाने प्रामाणिकपणा आणि असामान्य गायक प्रतिभेच्या शोधासाठी असलेल्या अढळ वचनबद्धतेच्या जोरावर आपला समृद्ध वारसा निर्माण केला आहे. प्रत्येक पर्वासोबत या कार्यक्रमाने स्वतःसाठी नवे मापदंड निश्चित केले आहेत आणि यंदाचे पर्वही त्याला अपवाद नाही. भव्य सादरीकरण, संगीतक्षेत्रातील दिग्गज मार्गदर्शक, तसेच मंचावर झळकणारी अप्रतिम प्रतिभा अशा प्रत्येक घटकाची रचना प्रेक्षकांना आतापर्यंतचा सर्वोत्तम अनुभव देण्यासाठी करण्यात आली आहे. आज प्रेक्षक अर्थपूर्ण, दर्जेदार आणि सांस्कृतिकदृष्ट्या जवळची असलेली मनोरंजन सामग्री शोधत असताना, ‘सा रे ग म प’ने आपले वेगळेपण कायम राखले आहे. यंदाचे पर्व या कार्यक्रमाचे भारतातील सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय आणि विश्वासार्ह संगीत रिअॅलिटी फ्रँचायझी म्हणून असलेले स्थान आणखी मजबूत करेल, याची आम्हाला खात्री आहे. 

हिंदी झी5 साठी हा अभिमानाचा क्षण आहे की, अनेक पिढ्यांतील संगीतप्रेमींना प्रेरणा देणाऱ्या या प्रतिष्ठित कार्यक्रमाचे आम्ही डिजिटल घर आहोत. ‘सा रे ग म प’ आता आपल्या सर्वांत भव्य स्वरूपात परतत असताना भारतीय संगीताच्या समृद्ध वारशाचा गौरव करणारे आणि संगीत रिअॅलिटी मनोरंजनाची व्याप्ती व महत्त्वाकांक्षा नव्याने परिभाषित करणारे हे पर्व प्रेक्षकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्यासाठी आम्ही अत्यंत उत्सुक आहोत."

‘हिंदुस्तान का संगीतस्थान’ सह सा रे ग म प आपल्या समृद्ध वारशाला नव्या युगात घेऊन येत आहे. एक असे जग जिथे कलाकारांवर प्रकाशझोत टाकला जातो, संगीतकारांच्या कलेला योग्य दाद मिळते आणि संगीताच्या महानतेला साजेशी भव्यता प्राप्त होते.

‘सा रे ग म प 2026’चा प्रीमियर होत आहे 19 सप्टेंबर 2026 रोजी; दर शनिवार आणि रविवार रात्री 9:30 वाजता फक्त झी टीव्ही आणि हिंदी झी5 वर!

*Breath of Hope”: Mumbai Doctors Help Paralysed Man Breathe Independently After Six Months on a Ventilator*

*Breath of Hope”: Mumbai Doctors Help Paralysed Man Breathe Independently After Six Months on a Ventilator*

*Navi Mumbai* : In a remarkable neuro-rehabilitation success story, Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central helped a 38-year-old man regain the ability to breathe independently after spending nearly six months dependent on a ventilator following a severe cervical spinal cord injury.

The patient, a resident of Hyderabad, had suffered a devastating cervical spinal cord injury following a major accident that left him paralysed below the neck. The injury resulted in complete loss of movement and sensation in his limbs and, most critically, took away his ability to breathe independently.

Initially admitted to an intensive care unit in Hyderabad, he spent nearly two months on continuous ventilator support and remained dependent on assisted breathing for almost six months despite treatment at multiple healthcare centers. Doctors had reportedly informed the family that prolonged ventilator dependence could be unavoidable.

Determined to explore further options, the family approached Dr. Manish Baldia, Consultant Functional Neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central, known for his expertise in advanced neuromodulation and phrenic nerve stimulation procedures.

After detailed assessment, the patient was shifted to Mumbai under specialised medical supervision. Attempts to gradually reduce ventilator support revealed dangerously high carbon dioxide retention levels, confirming that he was still unable to breathe adequately on his own.

Following evaluation, Dr.Manish Baldia performed a highly specialised phrenic nerve stimulation procedure, an advanced intervention designed to stimulate the diaphragm by activating the phrenic nerve responsible for breathing.

The response was remarkable. Within just three to four days after the procedure, the patient began showing improvement, and by the third week he was stable enough to be shifted out of the ICU.

"In high cervical spinal cord injuries, communication between the brain and breathing muscles gets disrupted. Through phrenic nerve stimulation, we attempt to bypass that interruption and directly activate the diaphragm so the patient can gradually regain independent breathing," said *Dr. Manish Baldia, Consultant Functional Neurosurgeon, Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central*.

He further added, "While this procedure does not reverse the spinal cord injury itself, restoring independent breathing significantly improves quality of life. It allows patients to communicate better, actively participate in rehabilitation and reduce prolonged dependence on critical care support."

Commenting on the significance of the case, *Dr. Virendra Chauhan, Centre Head, Wockhardt Hospitals Mumbai Central*, said, "This case reflects how advanced medical expertise and innovation can transform outcomes even in highly challenging situations. Such interventions are opening new possibilities in neuro-rehabilitation and bringing hope to patients and families facing long-term challenges."

Though the patient continues rehabilitation because of the severity of the spinal cord injury, the impact has been life-changing. He can now breathe independently, speak comfortably with his family and even sing again — something unimaginable just weeks earlier.

The case is believed to be among Mumbai’s first phrenic nerve stimulation procedures performed to restore independent breathing in a patient with severe cervical spinal cord injury, opening new possibilities in advanced neuro-rehabilitation in India.

The success story is now offering renewed hope to patients and families living with severe spinal cord injuries and prolonged ventilator dependence proving that even after months on a ventilator, breathing independence may still be possible.

Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai Unveils 15.59-Metre ‘Organ of Hope’ at Lalbaug, Earns Guinness World Records Title

Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai Unveils 15.59-Metre ‘Organ of Hope’ at Lalbaug, Earns Guinness World Records Title.

‘Organs of Hope’ campaign, supported by Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, brings organ donation awareness to the heart of Mumbai during Ganeshotsav

In a unique coming together of faith, healthcare and community, Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai has unveiled a 15.59-metre fibreglass sculpture depicting multiple human organs at Lalbaug as part of its ‘Organs of Hope’ organ donation awareness campaign.

The initiative, undertaken with the support of Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, aims to take the conversation around organ donation beyond hospital walls and into the heart of the community during Ganeshotsav.

The ‘Organ of Hope’ sculpture has achieved the Guinness World Records™ title for the “Largest Fibreglass Sculpture of Organs”, marking an important milestone for Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai and bringing greater visibility to the message of organ donation.

The support extended by Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has been central to the initiative, providing a meaningful platform to bring the conversation around organ donation to thousands of people visiting Lalbaug during the festive period.

The campaign also brings together ZTCC, MOHAN Foundation, Narmada Kidney Foundation, Verma Trust, Donate Life Lunawa Helping Hands, ISCCM – Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, Mumbai City Branch, along with students and faculty from Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College, SNDT Matunga, Kirti College and Khalsa College, among others.

Through the campaign, volunteers and participating organisations are engaging with visitors, creating awareness about organ donation, addressing common myths and encouraging people to discuss their wishes with their families and consider taking an organ donation pledge.



Why ‘Organs of Hope’?

For Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, ‘Organs of Hope’ is an extension of its responsibility as a healthcare institution to create awareness about a subject that can directly influence the lives of patients waiting for a transplant.

India has made significant progress in organ transplantation, but a considerable gap continues to exist between the need for organs and their availability. The Government of India has highlighted the continuing demand–supply gap, while NOTTO has identified challenges including limited awareness about brain-stem death, lack of awareness and attitudes towards organ donation.

The need, therefore, is not only for more transplant infrastructure and medical expertise, but also for greater public understanding and participation in organ donation.

For many people, organ donation remains a subject surrounded by questions, misconceptions and uncertainty. Conversations about donation often happen too late—or do not happen at all within families. NOTTO's public-awareness material specifically addresses common myths around organ donation and encourages people to understand the facts and communicate their wishes.

‘Organs of Hope’ has been created to help bridge this awareness gap.

By taking the message out of the hospital and placing it in the heart of a community gathering such as Lalbaug during Ganeshotsav, Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai aims to make organ donation a visible, understandable and meaningful conversation—one that begins with awareness, moves into families and can ultimately lead to informed decisions.

The presence of the ‘Organ of Hope’ sculpture at Lalbaug during Ganeshotsav gives the campaign a deeper significance, bringing a message of hope, compassion and giving to a space where people come together in faith.

Mr. Sudhir Salvi, Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, said:

“Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has always believed in bringing people together through faith, compassion and social responsibility. We are happy to support Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai in taking the important message of organ donation to the community. Organ donation is a beautiful expression of humanity—it can give someone waiting for a transplant another chance at life. We hope that this initiative inspires more people to speak to their families about organ donation and come forward for this noble cause.”

Taking Organ Donation Beyond Hospital Walls

Dr. Bipin Chevale, CEO, Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, said:

“As a healthcare institution, we see every day how deeply the need for timely treatment and transplantation can affect patients and their families. With ‘Organs of Hope’, we wanted to take the conversation around organ donation beyond the hospital and into the community. The intention is to create awareness, address misconceptions and encourage people to have an open conversation with their families about their wishes. Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has given us a truly meaningful platform to do this during Ganeshotsav. The Guinness World Records™ title is a proud milestone for Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, but the larger purpose of this initiative is to spread awareness and inspire more people to consider the Gift of Life.”

Awareness as the First Step Towards More Donations

Dr. Bharat Shah, ZTCC, said “Awareness is an important step towards strengthening organ donation. People need to understand the importance of donation, overcome myths and concerns, and have informed conversations with their families. The ‘Organs of Hope’ campaign has taken this conversation directly to the community in a highly visible and meaningful way. The coming together of healthcare organisations, community institutions and educational institutions can help encourage more people to make informed decisions and come forward for organ donation.”

India Continues to Face a Significant Need for Donated Organs

According to data reported by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO), India recorded 20,019 organ transplants in 2025. As of March 3, 2026, 89,839 people were on the national waitlist for major organs, according to data reported on the NOTTO National Registry Portal.

At the same time, deceased-donor transplantation continues to account for a relatively smaller proportion of total transplants. Government data released in February 2026 stated that around 18% of transplants were being performed using organs donated after death.

These figures underline the importance of continuing to build awareness, understanding and public participation in organ donation.

‘Organs of Hope’ seeks to turn awareness into action by encouraging people to learn about organ donation, understand the facts, discuss their wishes with their families and consider making an informed pledge.

Healthcare, Community and Young Minds Come Together

The campaign brings together ZTCC, MOHAN Foundation, Narmada Kidney Foundation, Verma Trust, Lunawa Helping Hands, ISCCM – Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, Mumbai City Branch, along with students and faculty from Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College, SNDT Matunga, Kirti College and Khalsa College, among others.

Volunteers and participating organisations are engaging with visitors at Lalbaug, helping create awareness about organ donation and encouraging meaningful conversations around the subject.

Students have also contributed to the campaign through pledges, artwork, creative expressions and awareness activities, helping take the message beyond the campaign site and into their families, peer groups and communities.

From One Conversation to a Gift of Life

At its heart, ‘Organs of Hope’ is about starting a conversation that can begin with one person and reach an entire family.

For Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, the campaign is an effort to bring healthcare awareness into the community and encourage people to understand that organ donation is not merely a medical subject—it is a conversation about compassion, generosity, responsibility and hope.

The 15.59-metre ‘Organ of Hope’ at Lalbaug is therefore more than a sculpture. It is intended to serve as a powerful reminder of the lives that can be touched when awareness leads to an informed decision.

With the support of Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal and its partner organisations, ‘Organs of Hope’ seeks to turn this public platform into a meaningful conversation—one that begins at Lalbaug, reaches homes and families, and keeps the Gift of Life at the heart of the message.

Mumbai's iconic Ganeshotsav pandal partners with CHUK to move bhog distribution away from single-use plastic

*Mumbai,* This Ganeshotsav, devotees coming to take the blessings of Lalbaugcha Raja are being served bhog on tableware that is 100% regenerative, leaving no residue in the environment unlike plastic. Every year, pooja mandals, civic authorities and devotees have been steadily shifting towards eco-friendly idols, natural materials and reduced plastic use across the ten days of celebration. The use of CHUK 100% regenerative tableware is in line with that shift.

These tableware are made from bagasse — a by-product of sugar industry. Once used, CHUK tableware composts back into the soil rather than persisting as waste for generations. Ordinary single-use plastic tableware is made from fossil fuels and can persist in the environment for hundreds of years. Based on this year's volumes at Lalbaugcha Raja, the switch to CHUK's compostable tableware is estimated to prevent generation of approximately 1580 kg CO2 equivalent.

“Compostable tableware at a pandal of this scale means thousands of plates go back to the soil instead of a landfill. We hope more mandals see it as a viable option and make the switch for their celebrations,” *said Mr. Shubham Tibrewal, Business Head – Food Services (Chuk), Pakka Limited.*

CHUK has been present at other major religious gatherings, including the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya in January 2024 — where CHUK was the official compostable tableware partner for prasad distribution, chosen by the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has partnered with CHUK for serving pilgrims through the year. CHUK has also served at the Mahakumbh at Prayagraj and Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri.
