As T24, an Icon For Tiger Conservation Dies In Captivity, activists, Warren Pereira, Raveena Tandon, forest officers and activists  remember India’s most controversial Tiger

T-24, popularly called Ustad, the formerly dominant male tiger of Ranthambore died in captivity on December 28, 2022. This big cat who was known to be fearless and a “man-eater” was controversially removed from the wild in 2015 for killing at least 4 men who entered his territory. Activists largely argue that the tiger was acting in self-defense while the forest department believed he was killing humans as prey and had to be removed in the larger interest of conservation. Yet other believe that some other predator was responsible for human kills attributed to T-24.

Social media brawls, ‘Save Ustad’ billboards, the High Court, The Supreme Court and candle light marches were wall part of the uproar around this powerful specimen of the national animal of India. The tiger, 16 or 17 years old, was having several health issues in his zoo enclosure in spite of the best care, eventually succumbing to cancer. He was mourned by Indian’s from all walks of life including those who were more intimately involved with his case:

“I am grateful for the time I had with T24. He was handsome, powerful and had a cool beard but mostly I followed him in the wild for years because I liked him. Little did I know that he would become an icon for tiger conservation and die for it. His story has the power to elevate the lives of other large predators. I will always remember him as a dominant male tiger in the wild.”

——Warren Pereira Filmmaker, Director of TIGER 24 Documentary

“Ustad is back! Back where he belongs. After a long and weary life his bold stripes now freely roam the jungles of Ranthambhore in eternal peace. Invisible to the eyes, his spirit moves on. It can be felt. Worldly matters and sufferings left behind; it is total bliss. It’s like being a cub again! Gratitude to all who loved and cared for Ustad.”

—Y.K.Sahu,  Ex. Field Director, Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve

“I tracked the T-24 saga because I am passionate about tigers and wildlife. It is saddening that the victim of man-animal conflict is a   dominant male tiger with cubs to protect who got removed from his home for killing men who invaded his territory. Ustad’s death should be an eyeopener for all of us humans. Man-animal conflict is eternal, but something needs to change with tiger conservation. Or we will soon have none left!”

—-Raveena Tandon, Actress and Wildlife Activist

“My memories of T-24 date back to 2013 when I was the park manager at Ranthambhore. He used to be the one of the most popular tigers because of his strong build. Unfortunately, he was implicated in the killing of men and was declared a danger to human life by the Chief Wildlife Warden and the Jaipur High Court. After the fourth kill I was concerned that T-24 would be shot dead or sent to a zoo with small enclosures. So, I requested the CWLW to transfer him to Sajjangarh Biological Park which was under my control and had large one-hectare enclosures. It was a massive undertaking to house a full-grown wild tiger, but he was given the highest level of care and we kept him safely for 7 years till his recent passing. Till the very end he maintained his wild side.”

—-Rahul Bhatnagar IFS  Ex. Chief Conservator Of The Forest

“I believe that certain documentaries need to be seen on the big screen. TIGER 24 is one of them. To see exclusive footage of India’s most controversial tiger on the big screen is a treat. With T24’s recent passing I now feel even stronger about TIGER 24’s theatrical run given that he has sparked a national conversation on man-animal conflict. TIGER 24’s screenings with be a tribute to this magnificent jungle cat and his contribution to the conservation of our national animal.”

—–Anil Thadani Film Distributor

“Ustad is the one who triggered my activism for wild tigers when I saw him lose his freedom to the tag of ‘man-eater’. I began to see the plight of our wild tigers beyond the showcased tiger sightings, glorified visuals, and implied vacuous conservation efforts.”

—–Sarita Subramaniam Activist.

बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस रवीना टंडन हाल ही में अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन को अपना सहयोग करती हुई दिखाई दी। भारतीय जानवर राइनो के रख-रखाव और उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन द्वारा उठाया गयी इस नेक पहल का रवीना ने खुले दिल से स्वागत किया । आपको बता दे कि अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन 28 जनवरी, 2023 को होनेवाला हैं।
इस अल्ट्रा रन का सबसे बड़ा उद्देश्य हैं कि  दुर्लभ-एक सींग वाले गैंडों के लिए समर्थन व्यक्त करना और जनता को इस बात से अवगत कराना की ये जानवर हमारे देश के लिए बेहद गौरवशाली हैं।
एक वन्यजीव उत्साही और एक कार्यकर्ता, रवीना भी इस नेक पहल के लिए बेहद उत्साहित हैं जो खुद साल 2023 की शुरुआत में अंवायिन्स के साथ काजीरंगा राष्ट्रीय उद्यान का दौरा करेंगी जहाँ वो पशु और उसके संरक्षण के विभिन्न प्रयासों के पहलुओं को समझेंगी। इस खास मौके पर आकर रवीना कहती हैं कि,”  मानवजाति को ये समझना  ज्यादा जरूरी हैं कि जीवन का मूल आधार सह- आस्तित्व में ही हैं। अगर आप जंगल के आर-पार सड़के बनाते हैं  तो ये जरूरी हैं कि वहाँ एक घेरा बनाया जाए ताकि पशुओं की रक्षा हो सके। जमीन के नीचे या ऊपर की तरफ जानवरो के लिए उचित रास्ते बने। इंसान और जानवरों की लड़ाई हमेशा से जीवित रही हैं लेकिन जब अनवाईन्स काज़ीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन की ये पहल निशिकान्त दास द्वारा राइनो के रख-रखाव के लिए ली गयी तो ऐसे नेक पहल को मेरा हमेशा सपोर्ट रहेगा।”
असम में अब तक का ये पहला अल्ट्रा-रन होगा जो चार श्रेणी में बटा हैं। धावकों के चयन के लिए श्रेणियाँ – 52 KM ,26 KM, 14 KM और 5 KM।  ये अल्ट्रा रन शुरू होगी एक यह पगडंडी से,प्राचीन ग्रामीण सेटिंग्स, धान के खेतों और चाय बागानों के बीच से जो उन्हें बनाने का वादा करते हैं जो शहर के समकक्ष कम रोमांचक दिखते हैं।
भारत सरकार ने इस पहल के लिए मिनिस्ट्री ऑफ डेवलोपमेन्ट ऑफ नार्थ ईस्ट रीजन (M-DoNER) के माध्यम से समर्थन का हाथ बढ़ाया है।जबकि स्पोर्ट्स अथॉरिटी ऑफ इंडिया ने अपने फिट इंडिया मूवमेंट के तहत इस आयोजन का समर्थन किया है और उन्हें गर्व हैं कि वो बंधन बैंक से जुड़ पाए जो इस कार्यक्रम को प्रस्तुत करेंगे। इतना ही नही एचडीएफसी एर्गो( वेलनेस पार्टनर) और एचडीएफसी लाइफ को लाइफ इंश्योरेंस के रूप में पाकर भी काफी खुश हैं ।  रिज़ॉर्ट बोर्गोस भी एक इवेंट के लिए वेन्यू पार्टनर के तौर पर जुड़ गए हैं जो, काजीरंगा की प्रीमियम संपत्तियों में शुमार हैं ।  इस कार्यक्रम का आयोजन पूर्वोत्तर भारत की अन्वायंस ट्रेवल्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड द्वारा किया जा रहा हैं। जो नार्थईस्ट इंडिया का काफी प्रतिष्ठित मंच हैं जो
इस क्षेत्र के माध्यम से क्यूरेटेड यात्रा देने का वादा करता है।
काजीरंगा, यकीनन असम का सबसे प्रसिद्ध चेहरा है, लेकिन एक दुर्लभ घर हैं एक-सींगवाले जानवर राइनो के लिए । जो आज बड़े पैमाने पर अवैध शिकार के कारण आबादी में कम होते जा रहे हैं।
लेकिन सरकार और फाउंडेशन के अथक प्रयासों के कारण पिछले एक दशक में गैंडों की संख्या में धीरे-धीरे वृद्धि हुई है। और इस अल्ट्रा रन के माध्यम से जो राशि इक्कठा होगी उसका एक अहम हिस्सा काजीरंगा गैंडों के संरक्षण के लिए दिया जाएगा।
प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में बोलते हुए, अन्वायिन्स के संस्थापक और सीईओ निशिकांत दास ने कहा, “यह अल्ट्रा रन का उद्देश्य न केवल गैंडों के संरक्षण में योगदान देना है, बल्कि पूर्वोत्तर भारत के लिए हमारे इस गहरे अध्ययन की एक पहल हैं कि हम उसकी  प्राकृतिक सुंदरता और देश की असाधारण सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक प्रथाओं की भूमि को विकसित करने में कुछ सहयोग कर पाए। इतना ही नही हम इसे एक वार्षिक राष्ट्रीय कार्यक्रम बनाने के लिए दृढ़ संकल्पित भी हैं।”
इसके साथ ही अनवाईन्स मूल रूप से पूरे इवेंट का खर्चा उठाने के लिए तत्पर हैं पर अब हमारे साथ काफी स्पॉन्सर्स भी जुड़ रहे हैं। जैसे बंधन बैंक लिमिटेड, एचडीएफसी एर्गो जनरल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी लिमिटेड और एचडीएफसी लाइफ इंश्योरेंस कंपनी।”
लि. अपूर्वा सिरकार, हेड-मार्केटिंग, बंधन बैंक ने कहा, ”अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन 2023 से जुड़ने का हम सभी को गौरव मिला हैं। इस बात की हमे बेहद खुशी हैं।बंधन बैंक के लिए नार्थईस्ट और असम हमेशा से एक महत्वपूर्ण बाजार रहे है और यह देखकर खुशी होती है कि अंवायिनस ने  वन्यजीव संरक्षण और जलवायु के क्षेत्र में सार्थक प्रभाव पैदा करने पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया।

शहर की लड़की रवीना बन गयी हैं आरण्यक! अनवाईन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन से जुड़कर होगी  राइनो की रक्षक!

The Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run 2023 scheduled for January 28, 2023 has a unique social objective – to express support for the rare-one horned rhinoceros and deepen public consciousness for the glorious animal.
Noted Bollywood actor, Raveena Tandon has come on board to support the cause of rhinos while promoting Northeast India. A wildlife enthusiast and activist herself, Raveena will also be visiting the Kaziranga National Park in early 2023 with Anvayins for a rendezvous with the animal and understand the various efforts for its conservation. Speaking at the press conference held at Mumbai on December 21, 2022, Raveena said, “It is important for mankind to understand that life is about coexistence. When you build roads across the jungle, it is important to fence them and make overhead or underground pathways for animals. Man-animal conflict will always exist, but when initiatives like Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run initiated by Nishikant Das are conceived to protect the rhino and other wildlife, they will always have my support.”
The Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run 2023, the first ever ultra-run in Assam, will have four race categories for runners to choose from – 52 KM 26 KM, 14 KM and 5 KM. This trail runs through pristine rural settings, paddy fields and tea plantations that promise to make their city counterparts look less exciting. The Government of India through the Ministry of Development of Northeast Region (M-DoNER) has extended its support for the initiative while Sports Authority of India has endorsed the event under its Fit India Movement program. We are proud to be associated with Bandhan Bank as they present this event. We are also delighted to have HDFC ERGO as Wellness Partner and HDFC Life as Life Insurance Partner. Resort Borgos, one of the premium properties at Kaziranga has joined as the Venue Partner. The event is organized by Anvayins Travels Private Limited, a Northeast India focused travel and hospitality platform that offers curated journeys through the region.
Kaziranga, arguably the best-known face of Assam, is home to the rare one-horned rhinoceros. After a steady decline in its population largely due to poaching, the number of rhinos has gradually increased in the last decade due to focused efforts by the government and various foundations dedicated to rhino conservation. In line with the goal of the ultra-run, a portion of funds available in excess of expenses of the event will be contributed towards the conservation of the Kaziranga rhino.
Nishikant Das, founder and CEO, Anvayins expressed, “This event not only aims at making a contribution to the cause of rhino conservation but also is another initiative by Anvayins to facilitate a deeper understanding of Northeast India, a land of exquisite natural beauty and extraordinary socio-cultural practices amongst the rest of the country. Accordingly, we are determined to make it an annual national event.”
While Anvayins had originally committed to the entire capital for the event, the company has now received financial sponsorship from reputed financial institutions such Bandhan Bank Ltd, HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Ltd and HDFC LIFE Insurance Company Ltd. Apurva Sircar, Head – Marketing, Bandhan Bank, said, “It is our pleasure to be.

The Viral Village Set To Go Viral

Dec 15, 2022

Real talent is infinite, beyond time and space. What started as a creative passion for Shital Keshari, the woman with beauty, grace and amazing talent, soon turned out to be an intense affair only six months before. Today she has around 25 classy paintings to her credit and still doing more paintings, too. No, Shital’s  paintings are not for sale, but only for public viewing like her recent super-hit painting exhibition at the Nehru Centre, Worli.
Ironically, Shital’s 11-years old prodigious daughter Prakriti followed in her steps and has also started doing paintings which are stunningly beautiful. Both mother and daughter are encouraged to the hilt by Shital’s multifaceted senior bureaucrat husband Ajai Keshari who himself is a superb poet as well as an outstanding ghazal writer.
Shital Keshari who shifted  to paintings few years later after doing her fashion-designing course says, “I never wanted to be a painter since my childhood. I did my fashion designing course and could have easily become a stylist. But my destiny had written something else for me.”
So, how has been the journey so far?
“The eventful journey has been  fantastic. I work on variety of themes and not one in particular,” tells Shital  as a matter-of-fact.
Regarding her participation in the recent painting exhibition at Worli, Shital  says that since she had so many paintings she wanted to showcase them systematically. “And yes, the response to my paintings in Worli exhibition was overwhelming!,” says a grateful Shital.
In this fast-paced digital world, is there a lack of interest/enthusiasm among people for paintings?
“I don’t think so. Creativity is not forced. It’s natural. Look, how I started painting only this year, six months to be precise!,” replies Shital.
Ask her about the paintings scenario, Shital elaborates, “It’s good everywhere, in India and abroad. In India, I think, the passion for paintings is more apparent in Mumbai.”
About her daughter Prakriti who’s also into painting, Shital tells as a proud mother, “Prakriti is naturally talented. She’s very good in her studies also and doing wonderful paintings just going by her intuitions.”
“You can pursue your creative passion at any age. But do the best, no half-hearted effort. Honesty and dedication are a must, to put it mildly,” tells Shital a matter fact.
Points noted Shital. All the best for your painted road ahead!
