Today's problem is lack of sensitivity, compassion, not lack of resources: Gujarat governor
The Governor claimed that today's science cannot match the level of Ayurveda research done thousands of years ago, highlighting that 'ancient sages and saints carried out several researches while living on the mountains and in forests'.
Praising the 'visionary leadership' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Governor said that establishing the Children's Research University was a revolutionary initiative. 'This is not just a university, but a laboratory for human creation,' he added.
He also warned against toxic farming.
Vice Chancellor of Gau Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Hitesh Jani, meanwhile, talked about Garbha Sanskar and Ayurveda from the Vedic period.
Newlyweds, pregnant women, doctors, experts in the fields of education and psychology were also present at the event.
At the event, a calendar especially prepared for pregnant women was released by the Governor in the presence of Women and Child Welfare Minister Bhanuben Babaria, Gandhinagar Mayor Miraben Patel, Gandhinagar District Panchayat President Shilpaben Patel, Gandhinagar (North) MLA Ritaben Patel and Children's Research University Vice Chancellor TS Joshi.

Javitri for glowing skin: The kitchen spice that fights acne better than your overpriced serum
Let's be honest, most of us have spent a small fortune trying to fix our skin. Serums, spot correctors, ten-step routines, K-beauty fads, and clay masks that leave you looking like a cracked statue. .. we've all tried it. Some work, some don't, and most end up half-used. But what if the glow-up you're chasing is already sitting in your kitchen? Say hello to javitri, also known as mace, that bright red, lacy covering of nutmeg you've seen in biryani but never thought to put on your face. Surprising? Definitely. Effective? Also yes. Packed with natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, javitri can help brighten your skin, calm breakouts, and gently exfoliate. Turns out, your spice rack might just be holding your next skincare win. Why javitri deserves a spot in your skincare routine Turns out, this humble spice is full of goodness that your skin actually needs, minus the marketing fluff. Used in Ayurveda for centuries, javitri is now sneaking into face packs and reels everywhere for its ability to deal with the drama that is breakouts and post-pimple scars. Here's what it brings to the table (and your face): Fights active pimples – calms down swelling and redness Fades dark spots – slowly lightens scars left behind Cleans out your pores – helps balance oil and dirt without stripping Gives a fresh, real glow – not the sweaty highlighter kind, but healthy skin kind Basically, it's the chill friend in your skincare gang. Doesn't yell. Doesn't overdo. Just supports. How to use javitri for clear, glowing skin No lab coat required. You can whip up a face pack faster than it takes to doomscroll through skincare TikTok. You'll need: 1 tsp javitri powder (grind it fresh if you're feeling fancy) 1 tsp honey (for hydration) A few drops of lemon juice (optional, for brightening) How to use it: Mix into a smooth paste and apply it to clean, dry skin, avoid the eye area unless you want to cry for real. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water, and follow with moisturiser. Use it once or twice a week. That's it. No peeling, no burning, no skincare drama. What kind of results can javitri give your skin? Let's be real, it's not going to erase all your skin sins in one go. But with regular use, javitri quietly does its job. Breakouts calm down, scars fade bit by bit, and the excess oil starts behaving. What you'll feel is balance. Your skin will stop screaming. It'll start glowing, not like glass, but like skin that's well-fed and finally left alone. Important things to know before using javitri on your face Even though it's natural, javitri isn't something you should slap on your face without a second thought. Nature can be potent too. Always do a patch test before applying it more broadly, especially if your skin is sensitive, acne-prone, or currently irritated. A little goes a long way, and mixing it with harsh ingredients like lemon juice can sometimes backfire. If your skin is already inflamed or breaking out, skip the citrus and stick to gentler mixers like honey, curd, or rose water. Twice a week is more than enough to see benefits without stressing your skin. Overdoing it won't speed up the glow, it'll just increase the risk of dryness or sensitivity. Also, and this should go without saying, javitri is fantastic for skin when applied properly, but it's not meant to be eaten raw. It's a spice, not a snack. Save it for your korma, not your skincare routine. When used mindfully, javitri can be a powerful addition to your natural beauty toolkit. Just remember, less is more, and your skin will thank you for the slow, steady care. You don't need another serum named 'Glow Maxx Pro+' promising miracles in a bottle. Sometimes, the real magic comes from the most unexpected, humble ingredients. Javitri, or mace, is one of those rare kitchen-to-skin gems that your nani trusted, and your skin probably will too. This warm, aromatic spice isn't just meant for biryanis or festive sweets. When used in skincare, javitri can help soothe inflammation, brighten dull skin, and even out your complexion. No complicated routines, no fancy packaging, just natural care that actually delivers. It's gentle, affordable, and knows exactly how to calm the chaos without trying too hard. So before you add another overhyped product to your skincare graveyard, check your spice rack. Javitri might just be the glow-up you didn't know you needed.

Cardiologist explains if chewing ginger or sitting on the floor can actually help you during a heart attack
In an April 15 YouTube video by HIIMS, Acharya Manish ji, an Ayurveda health expert, shared 'a crucial life-saving tip for sudden heart attacks'. According to him, if someone experiences a heart attack, the first thing to do is to make them sit on the ground. After seating them, immediately give them ginger to chew, he explained in Hindi in the clip. Also read | Shefali Jariwala death: Cardiologist explains steroids, drug overdose, hormonal therapy can increase heart attack risk The cardiologist said that chewing ginger may give a false sense of doing something helpful and cause euphoria, but it will not prevent or improve the heart condition. (Freepik) 'This information is not true' According to him, this is a simple yet effective remedy that can help save a life. He shared that the ginger should be chewed thoroughly until the person starts feeling relief and, ideally, until tears start to drop from their eyes. This process has been known to help '99 percent of people recover or stabilise before the ambulance arrives', he added. While ginger is known for its powerful medicinal properties – from aiding blood circulation to reducing inflammation – is it true that it can even help relieve chest pain during a heart attack? To learn more, HT Lifestyle tapped Dr Varun Bansal, consultant, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, who said, 'This information is not true.' Chewing ginger advisable for heart attack patients? Dr Bansal explained, 'While ginger, over a period of time, is considered to have antioxidant properties and does play some role in preventing hypertension or even cardiovascular disease, that benefit is seen only over the long term. In an acute setting — such as when a patient is actually having a heart attack — ginger has no role.' He added, 'As shown in the video, making the person sit or asking them to chew ginger is not advisable. In fact, during such an emergency, the patient should be made to lie down, rest, and emergency medical services should be activated immediately. Some medications can be taken at home in such situations, but if we are strictly discussing home remedies, it must be clearly understood that these medications should only be taken under medical guidance — preferably under a telephonic prescription from a specialist.' According to the doctor, making the person sit with their legs crossed or pulled close to the abdomen, as shown in the video, will not have any beneficial effect: 'In fact, it may give a false sense of doing something helpful and cause euphoria, but it will not prevent or improve the condition. Even chewing ginger will not help in an acute cardiac event.' Dr Bansal added, 'So, to reiterate, the information shown in the video (by HIIMS) is not true. The only effect of ginger that has been studied and established over the years is its long-term antioxidant benefit and some protective effect against hypertension and cardiovascular disease. But this is in the context of long-term consumption — not in acute situations such as a heart attack.'
