Ms. Ratna highlighted a plethora of government welfare schemes and the economic sustenance programmes of NGOs for the underprivileged in society, vulnerable to the scourge of child marriages. The SP called upon women, particularly those working and in colleges, to download the Shakti App on their mobiles, as this would protect them from any external attacks from the miscreants.

Sharing a lifelong fondness for mangoes with his father, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh turned this cherishment into a story. Turning a barren land of 600 acres in Jamnagar, Gujarat, into a lush orchard. Mukesh made a home for 1.5 lakh mango trees in this huge area. Growing more than 200 different types of fruits, these include popular Indian varieties like Alphonso, Kesar, Ratna, and international varieties like Tommy Atkins and Kent, imported from Florida and Israel. Besides the humongous size of the farm, it's also known for its technology. Usually taken care of by Nita Ambani, the orchard entails eco-friendly methods like drip irrigation, desalinated and harvested rainwater, and carefully planned fertilization. With these practices, around 600 tonnes of mangoes are produced, contributing to most of them being exported, thereby making Reliance the largest mango exporter in Asia. However, it's not just the business, but Reliance also distributes mango saplings to farmers around the nearby area and trains them in modern farming techniques. This, in turn, has helped them uplift their income and promote eco-friendly agriculture in the region. This initiative of Mukesh Ambani, which started as his cherished love for mango, has ventured into a successful business, that's benefiting nature, community, and innovation.
