Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation Launches Three Landmark Social Initiatives to Drive Empowerment, Dignity and Cultural Revival
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: The Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation (MKB), established on May 10, 2019, by noted philanthropist and social activist Mohit Kamboj, has announced three transformative social initiatives aimed at bringing meaningful change to Indian society. Guided by the philosophy of Bharatiya, which stands for unity, dignity, and empowerment, the Foundation remains committed to eliminating social discrimination and uplifting communities that have been historically marginalized.
The newly launched initiatives focus on three key areas: empowering the transgender community, ensuring dignity for the unclaimed deceased, and restoring culturally significant temples across the country.
As part of its Transgender Upliftment initiative, the Foundation is launching postgraduate education opportunities, skill development programs, and incubation support to prepare individuals for meaningful participation in the workforce. Complemented by dignity-led awareness campaigns, the initiative is designed to promote true inclusion and economic self-reliance for the transgender community, one of the most underserved and marginalized groups in the country.
In a deeply humanitarian gesture, the Foundation's Dignified Dead Bodies initiative ensures that unclaimed or neglected deceased individuals are given respectful last rites. With this effort, the MKB Foundation strengthens its belief that every human life, regardless of status, identity, or circumstance, deserves dignity, even in death. To implement this initiative effectively, the Foundation is collaborating with municipal corporations, the police department, and trusted NGOs across cities.
With its third initiative, the Foundation is working to restore temples of spiritual and cultural significance. This effort not only aims to preserve India's rich heritage but also to promote communal harmony and reawaken pride in shared traditions.
Speaking about the social initiatives, Mr. Mohit Kamboj, Founder of Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation, said, "True nation-building begins when every citizen feels seen, respected, and empowered, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance. These initiatives move us beyond short-term aid toward lasting pathways for inclusion, dignified livelihoods, and cultural pride. By enabling the transgender community to gain skills and earn meaningful work, honouring the unclaimed deceased with respectful last rites, and restoring our ancient temples so heritage can inspire future generations, we are embedding dignity, equality, and cultural confidence at the heart of India's progress."
With a relentless focus on grassroots impact and community transformation, the Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation continues to serve as a beacon of hope, driving positive change across India.
The Mohit Kamboj Foundation (MKB), founded on May 10, 2019, by philanthropist and social activist Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya, is committed to creating lasting social impact across India. Inspired by the spirit of Bharatiya, the Foundation promotes equality, dignity, and unity by empowering the transgender community, offering respectful last rites for unclaimed deceased individuals, and restoring culturally significant temples, preserving heritage while fostering inclusion and pride.

Govt plans shrimp rebranding to target domestic consumers
Vijayawada: In a proactive move to protect state's vital aqua sector, the state govt is planning a major rebranding campaign for shrimp-based products to increase domestic consumption and reduce reliance on exports — especially to the United States, which recently announced a 25% tariff on Indian seafood imports. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Shrimp, the crown jewel of AP's aqua exports, faces an uncertain future with the impending US tariff. With the state contributing significantly to India's shrimp production and export volume, the policy shift from Washington has triggered a strategic rethink. Financial expert C Kutumba Rao, who is also the vice-chairman of Swarnandhra P4 initiative, said the tariff announcement served as a wake-up call. "Our dependency on a single export market has become a risk. This is the right time to pivot. By increasing local consumption of shrimp through branding and awareness, we can safeguard the livelihood of lakhs of aqua farmers," he said. The state's long-term plan aims to promote locally produced shrimp and related seafood through special branding, marketing campaigns, and awareness drives about the health benefits of regular seafood consumption. The fisheries dept, along with industry leaders and export agencies, will spearhead this effort. Experts believe that even a modest 1-2% rise in domestic shrimp consumption could help the aqua sector survive, even if the US reduces imports by 40%. The new strategy borrows inspiration from the National Egg Coordination Committee's earlier success, which transformed eggs into a household staple across India through clever branding and public outreach. "The success of the egg campaign shows that Indian consumers respond well to health-driven food branding. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Shrimp has similar potential — it is rich in protein, easy to cook, and affordable. We want to see it on more Indian plates," added Rao. The branding campaign is expected to be launched in the coming months with recipe promotions, seafood festivals, nutritional campaigns, and inclusion of shrimp-based dishes in public meal programs and hotels.

US sanctions 6 Indian companies for trade in Iran petroleum products
The Trump administration has sanctioned six Indian companies for their "significant" sales and purchases of Iranian-origin petrochemical products. "The Iranian regime continues to fuel conflict in Middle East to fund its destabilising activities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Today, the US is taking action to stem the flow of revenue that the regime uses to support terrorism abroad, as well as to oppress its own people," the department of state said Wednesday, as it announced imposing sanctions on 20 global entities engaged in Iranian petroleum, petroleum products or petrochemical trade. The state department said multiple companies in India, the UAE, Turkiye and Indonesia are being designated for their significant sales and purchases of Iranian-origin petrochemical products. As President Donald Trump has said, "any country or person who chooses to purchase Iranian oil or petrochemicals exposes themselves to the risk of US sanctions and will not be allowed to conduct business with the United States", it said. Targeting Iran's petrochemical trade, the US designated 13 entities across multiple jurisdictions which have engaged in the transhipment, sale, and purchase of Iranian-origin petrochemicals. While there was no official reaction to the US announcement by India, the Iranian embassy here in New Delhi said the US continues to weaponise the economy and use sanctions as tools to dictate its will on independent nations such as Iran and India, and impede their growth and development. "These coercive discriminatory actions violate the principles of international law and national sovereignty, representing a modern form of economic imperialism. Resisting such policies is a stand for a more powerful emerging non Western-led multilateral world order and a stronger Global South," it said.

Government denies oil companies told to look outside Russia
NEW DELHI: Despite pressure from the US, govt has dismissed reports that it has asked refiners to stop purchasing Russian crude, which has emerged as the top source of petroleum for Indian refineries. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Since the war erupted in Ukraine, Russia has become the favourite source of oil, especially for private refiners, thanks to the hefty discount on offer. With Europe and several parts of America stopping direct oil purchases from Russia, Indian refineries were using the crude not just for domestic pumps but exporting large quantities to other markets. Two foreign news agencies reported on Thursday that govt was pushing them to import oil from sources other than Russia. A senior govt official, however, said no such instructions have been issued. US President Trump on Wednesday had threatened a penalty over the 25% tariff due to India's large arms and oil purchases from Russia.
