*प्रसिद्ध अभिनेते - दिग्दर्शक अजित भुरे यांच्या हस्ते प्रयोगशाळेचे उद्घाटन संपन्न ; रॅस्पबेरी पाय, अर्डुइनो, इंटरनेट ऑफ थिंग्जसह ९० प्रत्यक्ष प्रकल्पांचा समावेश!&

मुंबई, ७ सप्टेंबर : दादर पश्चिम येथील १८९२ साली स्थापन झालेल्या 'जनरल एज्युकेशन इन्स्टिट्यूट'च्या (General Education Institute) 'छबिलदास इंग्लिश मीडियम स्कूल' (Chhabildas English Medium School, (CBSE Affiliated) शाळेत विद्यार्थ्यांना आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानाचे प्रत्यक्ष आणि प्रयोगाधारित शिक्षण मिळावे, या उद्देशाने उभारण्यात आलेल्या अत्याधुनिक कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, गणित व रोबोटिक्स प्रयोगशाळेचे उद्घाटन प्रसिद्ध डबिंग आर्टिस्ट, अभिनेते, दिग्दर्शक व निर्माते अजित भुरे यांच्या हस्ते आज झाले. या प्रयोगशाळेमुळे दादर परिसरातील विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, रोबोटिक्स आणि इंटरनेट आधारित तंत्रज्ञान प्रत्यक्ष अनुभवण्याची नवी संधी उपलब्ध झाली आहे. याप्रसंगी संस्थेचे अध्यक्ष शैलेंद्र साळवी यांनी मान्यवरांचे स्वागत करून त्यांना या आधुनिक लॅबद्दल माहिती दिली. कोषाध्यक्ष रवींद्र ताम्रस, संचालिका आरती राऊत, माजी विद्यार्थी विजय पाध्ये यांसह अनेक आजी - माजी विद्यार्थी - संचालक - शिक्षकांची विशेष उपस्थिती लाभली होती.

या प्रयोगशाळेचे प्रात्यक्षिक आणि सादरीकरण कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता व रोबोटिक्स सल्लागार डॉ. अमेय पांगारकर यांनी केले. विद्यार्थ्यांनी केवळ तंत्रज्ञान समजून न घेता ते स्वतः हाताळावे, प्रयोग करावेत, प्रश्न विचारावेत आणि स्वतःच्या कल्पनांमधून नवनवे प्रकल्प निर्माण करावेत, या उद्देशाने प्रयोगशाळेची रचना करण्यात आली आहे.

प्रयोगशाळेत रॅस्पबेरी पाय, अर्डुइनो आणि इंटरनेट ऑफ थिंग्ज या तंत्रज्ञानावर आधारित एकूण ९० प्रत्यक्ष प्रकल्पांचा समावेश आहे. तापमान, आर्द्रता, हवामान, सुरक्षा, हालचाल, मातीतील ओलावा, वायू गळती, आरएफआयडी, प्रकाश नियंत्रण, वाहनतळ, पाण्याची पातळी आदी विविध विषयांवरील प्रकल्प विद्यार्थ्यांना प्रत्यक्ष तयार करता व हाताळता येणार आहेत. याशिवाय पायथॉन संगणक प्रोग्रामिंग, तर्कशक्ती विकास, ड्रोन जोडणी, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स आणि कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेच्या विविध संकल्पनांचे प्रशिक्षण दिले जाणार आहे.

शाळेतील वर्गखोल्यांमध्येही आधुनिक शैक्षणिक सुविधा उपलब्ध करून देण्यात आल्या आहेत. आकर्षक भित्तिचित्रे, रंगसंगती, आधुनिक बाके(बेंचेस), डिजिटल फलक, पडदे, ध्वनियंत्रणा आणि विविध शैक्षणिक साधनांमुळे वर्गखोल्यांना आधुनिक रूप देण्यात आले आहे. उद्घाटनापूर्वी मान्यवरांनी वर्गखोल्यांची पाहणी केली.

कार्यक्रमात रोबोट, मानवरूपी रोबोट, ड्रोन आणि विविध यांत्रिक उपकरणांचे प्रत्यक्ष प्रात्यक्षिक सादर करण्यात आले. त्यामुळे विद्यार्थी आणि पालकांमध्ये मोठे कुतूहल निर्माण झाले. विद्यार्थ्यांनी डॉ. पांगारकर यांच्याशी संवाद साधत कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता आणि रोबोटिक्सविषयी अनेक प्रश्न विचारले. कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेचा योग्य, सर्जनशील आणि जबाबदारीने वापर कसा करावा, याबाबतही त्यांनी मार्गदर्शन केले.

*“तंत्रज्ञान शिकविण्यापेक्षा तंत्रज्ञानातून विचार करायला शिकविणे महत्त्वाचे”*

General Education Institute चे अध्यक्ष शैलेंद्र साळवी म्हणाले, “१८९२ पासून शिक्षणाची परंपरा जपत आलेल्या संस्थेने काळानुसार तंत्रज्ञान स्वीकारले आहे. विद्यार्थ्यांना केवळ तंत्रज्ञान शिकविणे हा आमचा उद्देश नाही; तर त्यांना प्रश्न विचारणारे, प्रयोग करणारे आणि स्वतःच्या कल्पनांमधून नवनिर्मिती करणारे विद्यार्थी घडविणे हे आमचे ध्येय आहे.”

अजित भुरे यांनी या उपक्रमाचे कौतुक करताना सांगितले, “मुलांनी केवळ पाठ्यपुस्तकातून ज्ञान घेण्याऐवजी प्रश्न विचारले, प्रयोग केले आणि स्वतः काहीतरी निर्माण केले पाहिजे. या प्रयोगशाळेत विद्यार्थ्यांच्या चेहऱ्यावर दिसणारे कुतूहल आणि उत्साह हीच या उपक्रमाची खरी ताकद आहे.”

मुख्याध्यापिका सौ. कोमल कडवे म्हणाल्या, “विद्यार्थ्यांनी तयार उत्तरे शोधण्याऐवजी स्वतः प्रश्न विचारावेत, प्रयोग करावेत आणि स्वतः नवनिर्मिती करावी, ही आमची भूमिका आहे. 'कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, गणित आणि रोबोटिक्स' या प्रयोगशाळेमुळे छबिलदासच्या आमच्या विद्यार्थ्यांचे शिक्षण अधिक अनुभवाधारित आणि आनंददायी होणार आहे.”

*कुतूहल जागविणे हेच मुख्य उद्दिष्ट*

“सहज आणि झटपट उत्तरे मिळविण्याची सवय लावण्यापेक्षा विद्यार्थ्यांमधील कुतूहल जागृत करणे” हा या उपक्रमाचा मुख्य विचार आहे. *“येथे स्वप्न पाहा • सर्वत्र यश मिळवा”* या संकल्पनेतून विद्यार्थ्यांच्या कल्पनाशक्तीला आणि सर्जनशीलतेला चालना देत त्यांना भविष्यातील तंत्रज्ञानासाठी तयार करण्याचा प्रयत्न करण्यात येत आहे.

कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, रोबोटिक्स, नवोन्मेष आणि प्रयोगाधारित शिक्षण यांच्या माध्यमातून विद्यार्थ्यांना भविष्यातील संधींसाठी सक्षम करण्याच्या दिशेने Chhabildas English Medium School ने उचललेले हे महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल असल्याचे मत उपस्थित मान्यवर व पालकांनी नोंदवले.

INDIA’S FIRST ALL-WOMEN SUPERCAR COMMUNITY, QUEENS DRIVE CLUB, MAKES MUMBAI DEBUT WITH A DRIVE FOR CANCER AWARENESS

 INDIA’S FIRST ALL-WOMEN SUPERCAR COMMUNITY, QUEENS DRIVE CLUB, MAKES MUMBAI DEBUT WITH A DRIVE FOR CANCER AWARENESS

Founded by Ritika Jatin Ahuja, Queens Drive Club brings together women from across business, entrepreneurship, sport and more. Mumbai drive flagged off by Chief Guest Amruta Fadnavis; QDC commits to sponsoring one lakh chemotherapy treatments

Mumbai, 7 September 2026: Queens Drive Club (QDC), India’s first all-women supercar community, made its Mumbai debut on 6 September 2026, bringing together women from diverse fields for a drive dedicated to cancer awareness. The drive was flagged off by Chief Guest Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis at Bastian Beach Club, Juhu, and concluded with a brunch and an insightful panel discussion featuring cancer survivors, encouraging greater awareness and more open conversations around the cause.

Over 70 women from the world of business, entrepreneurship, sport and arts took the wheel for the drive, marking QDC’s first edition in Mumbai and its sixth edition in the country, as well as its most purpose-led outing to date. What began as a community of women united by a shared passion for supercars and luxury automotive experiences has evolved into a platform with more than 100 members, centred on women’s leadership, camaraderie, shared experiences and social impact.

For its Mumbai debut, QDC, in partnership with PATH Foundation and with the support of V Care Foundation, dedicated the drive to cancer awareness. As part of the initiative, members contributed towards comprehensive cancer treatment, chemotherapy sessions, palliative care and meal support for patients in need. Palliative care is specialised medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness. Extending its commitment beyond the drive, QDC is also sponsoring one lakh chemotherapy treatments in partnership with PATH Foundation, taking its focus from awareness to tangible support for cancer patients.

Commenting on the initiative, Chief Guest Amruta Fadnavis said, “It is inspiring to see women come together around a shared passion and use the strength of their community to create a larger impact. Cancer affects families across every section of society, and initiatives that encourage awareness, early detection and conversations around treatment are extremely important. I am delighted to flag off Queens Drive Club’s first Mumbai drive and see its members use their collective voice and influence to support a cause that deserves greater attention.”

Speaking on the occasion, Ritika Jatin Ahuja, Founder, Queens Drive Club, said, “QDC started with a simple idea of bringing women together through a shared passion for automobiles, but it has grown into a community with a much larger purpose. Our first Mumbai drive was an opportunity to bring women from different walks of life together while supporting a cause that impacts countless families. Through our association with V Care Foundation and PATH Foundation, we wanted to take that purpose a step further and contribute towards meaningful support for those affected by cancer. For us, the drive is as much about the community we are building as it is about the cause we are supporting.”

Sakshi Agrawal, Founder of PATH Foundation, said, “The idea behind this drive was to bring women together around a cause that deserves greater attention, awareness and support. Cancer impacts the lives of patients and their families financially, physically and emotionally. We wanted to create a platform that encourages people to come forward and contribute. A small gesture of support, a conversation, or simply being there for someone can make a meaningful difference. ‘Every act counts’, is the message we hope everyone takes away from this initiative.”

Commenting on the initiative, Ranjit Bindra, Founder & CEO, Bastian Hospitality, said, “It gives me great pleasure to be part of such an important initiative. Awareness is where every meaningful change begins, and Bastian Hospitality is grateful to PATH Foundation and Queens Drive Club for the opportunity to come together in the fight against cancer and help spread awareness for a cause that touches so many lives.”

The Mumbai debut marks another step in QDC’s journey of building a strong, connected community of women who share a passion for automobiles, driven by purpose while creating experiences that extend beyond the drive itself.

*Writer-Director Vishal Chaturvedi Steers Hanuman Ansh to ₹100 Crore Glory, Leaves Major Releases Behind*

 *Writer-Director Vishal Chaturvedi Steers Hanuman Ansh to ₹100 Crore Glory, Leaves Major Releases Behind* 

Writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi has emerged as the creative force behind one of the most remarkable box-office success stories of the year. His devotional drama Hanuman Ansh, based on the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, has crossed the coveted ₹100 crore mark on its fifth Sunday. From opening with just ₹10 lakh on day one to achieving this historic milestone, the film has scripted an extraordinary journey at the box office.

Released on August 7 across just 25 screens, Hanuman Ansh began its theatrical run quietly, collecting ₹1.08 crore in its first week. After a slowdown in week two with around ₹40 lakh, the film witnessed a dramatic turnaround, collecting ₹10.40 crore in its third week before continuing its impressive momentum. At the heart of this remarkable growth has been Vishal Chaturvedi, who shaped the film both as its writer and director, steering the story from its spiritual roots to the big screen.

What makes the achievement even more significant is that Hanuman Ansh has continued to march ahead despite major competition, including Mirzapur: The Movie, and has also left big releases such as Toxic behind in its remarkable box-office journey. The film's fifth-Friday collection reportedly surpassed the fifth-Friday earnings of several major Hindi releases, highlighting the strength of its growing word-of-mouth and devotional appeal. Vishal Chaturvedi's storytelling and vision have clearly helped the film connect with audiences far beyond the scale of its initial release.
