In 2020, Hansa Roy, a passionate geologist, took a stand to save a grove of trees from being cut down for road widening in Vadodara. Despite strong opposition from villagers and local authorities, she managed to halt the deforestation. Fast forward to today, and those very trees have proven to be lifesavers. During the recent severe floods in Vadodara, while surrounding areas were submerged, these trees shielded Hansa's Ultima Society from disaster. Their strong roots prevented soil erosion and kept the six-foot boundary wall from collapsing under relentless floodwaters for three days. "When the floodwaters rushed towards our colony, the boundary wall stood firm thanks to the 26 trees around it. Without them, the wall would have collapsed, like it did elsewhere in the city," Hansa told TOI. The trees she saved in 2020 have now safeguarded her community, proving that her dedication to protecting the environment was not in vain—as it never is. #TreeHeroes #FloodProtection #EnvironmentalChampion [ Hansa Roy, Vadodara, Trees Saved, Flood Protection, Soil Erosion Prevention, Environmental Advocacy, Community Safety, Road Widening Controversy, Ultima Society, Flood Resilience, Tree Conservation, Nature's Shield, Legal Action for Trees, Environmental Impact ]

Shraddha Dhawan, a young entrepreneur from Nighoj village in Ahmednagar, has transformed her family’s modest dairy business into a thriving enterprise worth over Rs 1 crore. Her journey began at just 11 years old when she started helping her differently-abled father, Satyavan, with daily chores like milking buffaloes and selling milk. As Shraddha recalls, "My father could not ride a bike. My brother was too young to take on any responsibilities. So I took on the role at 11. But I found it both strange and unique because no girl in our village had done so before." Despite numerous challenges, Shraddha’s determination and business acumen quickly became evident. By her early teens, she had mastered the dairy business, from milking buffaloes to negotiating with traders. This early exposure laid the foundation for her future success. Soon, Shraddha diversified into sustainable agriculture, establishing a vermicomposting unit that produces 30,000 kg of vermicompost per month and implementing a biogas plant to generate electricity from buffalo slurry. Today, at 24, Shraddha runs Shraddha Farm, a modern two-storey buffalo shed housing 80 buffaloes. It generates a revenue of Rs 1 Crore, making it a successful entrepreneur and a pioneer in sustainable agriculture. Want to know how Shraddha turned a small dairy farm into a million-dollar business?

"In 2023, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. It was a shock, to say the least. Despite my efforts to maintain a balanced lifestyle, nothing could have prepared me for this news. It all began when my wife insisted I get a routine check-up. I initially dismissed it, but her persistence paid off. That simple check-up led me down an unexpected journey. After seeking different opinions, I chose to go with the more experienced doctor. The initial treatment was successful—the tumour was gone, and there were no signs of remaining cancer. However, the next two years required regular cystoscopies. After moving from Mumbai to Singapore, another small tumour and urethral strictures were discovered—a side effect of the previous surgery. Suddenly, I was facing two challenges: a new tumour and the strictures. While the situation was daunting, I focused on the positive – early detection again meant a higher chance of success. I also realised the importance of a good doctor—not just for their skills, but for their bedside manner, which can significantly impact a patient's journey. This year marks a milestone—I’m cystoscopy-free and cancer-free! Early detection was key, and I’m incredibly grateful I went for that preventive check-up." ~ Ninad Raikar Want to know how early detection changed Raikar’s life?
