Aided by Govt schemes for women in J-K, entrepreneur opens skin laser clinic in Poonch district
Equipped with the latest technology and equipment, the establishment of the clinic 'Skin 360' is seen as an example of women's empowerment.
Ayesha, a cosmologist who completed her schooling from the national capital and pursued a college degree in Mumbai has also completed courses from a London-based academy.
In an interview with ANI, Ayesha spoke on how she faced difficulties in finding the right machines for her cosmetic procedures in Jammu and Kashmir, which also motivated her to open a store for customers to find products easily.
'I completed my school in Delhi and pursued college in Mumbai, after which I did courses from a London-based academy. Hailing from Poonch and going to Mumbai was a big thing in itself. However, I did not want to stop there... it only inspired me to do something better. I had my family's support, and they supported my vision to do something big. When I opened this clinic, there were a lot of problems in finding machines because the treatments used here require international machines. Gradually, I got more and more machines. However, there were problems in getting products too, which motivated me to open the Skin 360 store so that customers could find products easily...' Ayesha told ANI.
She further explained how she made the best use of the government schemes for women.
'I wanted to take advantage of the government schemes and I made a lot of use of them. I am very thankful to the government for their help throughout the process. I am very overwhelmed with the support of the people... I started with just one machine, and today, I have more than three machines...'
Ayesha appealed to women to make use of schemes and motivated them to achieve heights.
'I just want to tell people that if there is some opportunity around you, make sure you use it, and you will achieve heights...' she added.
Mahekpreet Kaur, a local and a regular customer of the clinic, said that Ayesha's clinic was much needed in the district.
'I have been coming to this clinic for a very long time. Ayesha is a very good cosmologist, and her clinic was very much needed in Poonch. She has very wisely used the government schemes and taken hold of the opportunities... her rates are very affordable. I hope more and more females make use of these government schemes....' Kaur told ANI.
Rashi, another regular visitor, said that the treatments used by Ashia showed changing results on the skin.
'I have been coming to this clinic for a very long time. The treatments used by Ayesha have shown very good results on my skin. She has shown a lot of dedication in her work and has very smartly made use of the government schemes.... She took a loan of Rs one lakh through the government schemes and made the best use of them....' Rashi told ANI. (ANI)

Govt admits lower mileage in ethanol-blended fuel
Amid concerns and debates that ethanol blending in petrol has significantly reduced fuel efficiency and accelerated wear and tear of vehicle parts, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas recently addressed the impact of 20% ethanol blending (E20) on vehicle performance. The Ministry confirmed that ethanol has a lower energy density than petrol, which can cause a slight decrease in mileage. Four-wheelers designed for E10 and calibrated for E20 may experience a 1–2% drop in mileage, while other vehicles may see a reduction of 3–6% While the government's claim of up to 6% reduction in mileage on older vehicles suggests a very limited impact, consumers and some experts believe the impact on mileage to be a little higher. 'By its chemical composition, ethanol has lower energy per unit volume than petrol. This results in reduced fuel efficiency from any ethanol-blended petrol when compared to unadulterated petrol. While our internal estimate shows that E20 petrol gives 5-7% lower mileage than unadulterated petrol, primarily in vehicles manufactured before 2023, consumer feedback suggests the impact to be in double digits in real-world driving conditions,' said the head technical officer of a leading car company on the condition of anonymity. He advocated a discount for consumers on blended petrol given that ethanol is sourced locally and is much cheaper than crude. He said that this may compensate for the increased running costs. The administered ex-mill price of ethanol for blending purpose has been fixed at Rs 57.97 per litre. A GST of 5% levied on ethanol for blending with petrol, taking the per litre price to Rs 61. Petrol is priced around Rs 95 per lite (in Delhi).
