\r\n\tNew Educational Model Aims to Instill Deep Values of Love for Parents, Nation, and the World<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tDr. Pankaja Kumar Jena from Balasore, Odisha, unveiled a groundbreaking educational system designed to address the rising concerns of mental health issues, particularly suicide, while promoting a profound sense of love and responsibility towards parents, the nation, and the global community. This innovative approach aims to transform traditional education by integrating emotional and moral development into the curriculum.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tDr. Jena, a seasoned educator and mental health Counsellor, has been actively involved in educational reforms for over more than two decades. His new system, dubbed "Holistic Emotional Education" (HEE), is the culmination of years of research and practical application. It seeks to provide students with the tools they need to manage stress, build resilience, and develop a strong ethical foundation.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe core of new curriculum, which blends academic learning with emotional intelligence training. Unlike conventional education systems that primarily focus on intellectual development, HEE places equal emphasis on nurturing students' emotional well-being. This dual approach is designed to create a more balanced, well-rounded individual capable of navigating life's challenges with greater ease and empathy.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tDr. Jena's initiative has garnered widespread support from educational institutions, mental health professionals, and government bodies. In his inaugural speech, he emphasized the urgent need for such reforms, citing alarming statistics on youth suicide rates and mental health issues. "Our children are the future of our nation and the world. It is imperative that we equip them not just with knowledge, but with the emotional strength and moral compass needed to lead fulfilling lives," he stated.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe launch of New Educational Model marks a significant milestone in the realm of education. As pilot programs roll out across in Odisha, educators and policymakers alike are keenly observing the outcomes. If successful, Dr. Jena's model could set a precedent for educational reform on a global scale.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tIn a world increasingly plagued by mental health crises, Dr. Pankaja Kumar Jena's visionary approach offers a beacon of hope. By addressing the root causes of emotional distress and fostering a culture of love and empathy, the Holistic Emotional Education system has the potential to create a healthier, more compassionate generation.<\/p>\r\n","record_date":"2024-11-12","created":"2024-11-20","record_category":"0","show_on_achieving_lorel":"0","type":"","status":"Active","modified_date":"2024-11-20 08:43:22","modified_by":"0","is_deleted":"0","deleted_by":"0","delete_date":""},{"id":"1404","record_holder":"Youngest B.Sc.

\r\n\tLargest single-piece Motichoor laddoo, weighing a massive 2144 kilograms<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tIn the vibrant festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, food is an integral part of the celebration, with sweet offerings symbolizing devotion and prosperity. Chef A.P. Singh, the CEO of 4 Season’s Program Management, has taken this tradition to extraordinary heights by creating the largest single-piece Motichoor laddoo, weighing a massive 2144 kilograms. Over a period of seven days, Chef Singh and his team of 15 dedicated individuals crafted this colossal sweet, which is not just a culinary marvel but a tribute to Lord Ganesha. One of India’s most popular festivals celebrates the arrival of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom and prosperity. Modaks and laddoos, believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favorite sweets, are traditionally offered during the festival. Chef Singh’s creation of the gigantic Motichoor laddoo is a symbolic gesture, dedicated to the deity as an offering of immense devotion and reverence. The significance of the Motichoor laddoo lies in its ingredients and preparation, which reflect the traditional roots of Indian sweets. Made from gram flour, sugar, ghee, and cardamom, this laddoo is a favourite across India, particularly during festive occasions. The sheer size of Chef Singh’s laddoo not only highlights his culinary prowess but also emphasizes the spiritual and cultural importance of the offering.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tCreating a laddoo of such size is no small feat. The process, which took seven days to complete, involved meticulous planning, coordination, and teamwork. Chef A.P. Singh led a team of 15 skilled individuals, all of whom played crucial roles in the preparation and execution of this enormous task. From sourcing the finest ingredients to carefully cooking the gram flour mixture in large batches, the process required precision and dedication at every step. The first challenge was ensuring the right consistency of the laddoo mixture, as any deviation could affect the overall texture and structural integrity of the sweet. The team worked tirelessly, stirring large vats of Motichoor mixture, cooling it at the right pace, and carefully shaping it into the final product. The creation of such a massive laddoo required not only culinary expertise but also technical skills in handling heavy-duty equipment and managing logistics. What sets Chef A.P. Singh’s creation apart is the tradition he has cultivated over the years. Every Ganesh Chaturthi, the size of the laddoo increases, signifying the growing devotion and the ever-expanding celebrations of the festival. From its humble beginnings, it has now reached an impressive weight of 2144 kilograms, making it the largest single-piece Motichoor laddoo ever created. Chef Singh sees this annual tradition as a way to bring the community together, uniting them in celebration of Lord Ganesha and the shared love for Indian sweets.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tBy pushing the boundaries of what is possible, Chef Singh not only honours Lord Ganesha but also inspires others to think big and embrace the spirit of teamwork. The growth in the size of the laddoo each year reflects the ever-increasing enthusiasm for the festival, while also showcasing the dedication and effort that go into maintaining and expanding a cherished tradition. Chef A.P. Singh’s laddoo-making endeavour has garnered widespread attention, both for its scale and for the cultural significance it carries. The laddoo has become a major attraction during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, drawing crowds from near and far to witness this magnificent creation. It has also placed 4 Season’s Program Management at the forefront of large-scale culinary program s, showcasing the company’s ability to take on unique and monumental challenges. Moreover, this annual tradition has a broader impact on the community. Once offered to Lord Ganesha, is distributed among devotees as prasad, symbolizing the sharing of blessings and prosperity. This act of giving reinforces the values of generosity and unity, which are central to the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi. His ability to transform a simple sweet into a monumental tribute to Lord Ganesha exemplifies the potential of culinary arts to transcend mere food preparation and become a symbol of faith and devotion. This annual culinary achievement not only honours a beloved festival but also brings people together in the shared experience of tradition, food, and devotion.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tSupportive Parenting and Family Involvement a Record-Breaking Achievement<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tIn a remarkable achievement, Baby Anaira Shah from Dallas, Texas, has made her way into the record books as the fastest and youngest toddler to recite alphabets with examples, numbers, body parts, animals, and opposite words in an impressive time of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This extraordinary feat was accomplished on September 12, 2024, when Anaira was just 17 months old, showcasing her incredible talent and intellectual prowess at such a tender age. Anaira's accomplishment is not just a testament to her unique abilities but also highlights the nurturing environment in which she has been raised. Since birth, she has been closely cared for by her grandmother, who, along with her mother, has played a significant role in shaping her early development. Together, they have instilled in her a love for learning and exploration, making education an integral part of her daily life. From the very beginning, she was surrounded by a family that prioritized learning and development. Her grandmother and mother recognized her curiosity early on and began to engage her in activities that stimulated her cognitive abilities. Whether it was reciting the alphabet or learning about animals and body parts, they made sure that she was constantly exposed to educational experiences that would foster her growth.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe close bond between her and her grandmother has been particularly instrumental in her learning journey. Being with her grandmother from birth, she has benefited from the wisdom and patience of an elder who has been her first teacher. Under her grandmother’s gentle guidance, she was introduced to letters, numbers, and concepts like opposites, which eventually led to the amazing feat of reciting them all in record time. At just 17 months old, her ability to not only recognize and recite the alphabet but also provide examples, count numbers, identify body parts, name animals, and understand opposite words is nothing short of extraordinary. Most toddlers at this age are just beginning to grasp basic speech, but she has already mastered concepts that many older children struggle with. The time it took her to complete the entire recitation — 3 minutes and 20 seconds — is a reflection of her sharp memory, quick thinking, and clear articulation. Her ability to quickly process information and deliver it with accuracy is a skill that has amazed many, including educators and experts in early childhood development.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tHer success story is not just about her natural abilities, but also about the supportive environment provided by her family. Her mother has been an active participant in her learning process, working hand-in-hand with Anaira’s grandmother to ensure that every moment is a learning opportunity.  With a family that is deeply invested in her development and a natural talent for learning, there’s no doubt that she will continue to break barriers and reach new milestones in the years to come. Her ability to absorb and apply knowledge at such an early age speaks to her exceptional potential, and with continued support from her family, she is likely to continue excelling academically and personally. Her story is an inspiration to parents and educators alike, showing the profound impact that early education and supportive parenting can have on a child's development.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe Challenges of High-Altitude Skating, the Significance of Srihan’s Achievement<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tMaster Srihan R. Renjith, a 4-year-old child prodigy from Bengaluru, Karnataka, has astounded the world with an incredible achievement that has earned him a place in the record books. On August 20, 2024, at the age of just 4 years and 9 months, Srihan skated at an altitude of 12,500 feet on the Durbuk–Pangong Lake Road in the challenging terrain of Ladakh. His remarkable feat, which lasted for 6 minutes and 40 seconds over a distance of 1.8 kilometers, was performed under extreme conditions, where the oxygen level was only 59%. This accomplishment not only highlights the young boy’s extraordinary physical ability and mental strength but also emphasizes his passion for skating, an activity that he has mastered at such a tender age. Skating at high altitudes is an incredibly difficult task for even seasoned athletes, let alone a 4-year-old. At an altitude of 12,500 feet, the reduced oxygen levels (around 59% of what is available at sea level) make physical activities far more strenuous. For the human body, lower oxygen levels at such heights can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and even dizziness, making it an unlikely place for skating.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tHowever, Srihan, with the support of his family and trainers, not only overcame these physical challenges but excelled at his performance, skating with precision and determination. The Durbuk–Pangong Lake Road is known for its scenic beauty, but it also presents an unpredictable and rugged landscape. For Srihan to cover 1.8 kilometers in just 6 minutes and 40 seconds under these harsh conditions showcases his remarkable stamina and dedication. Srihan’s success did not come overnight. His journey to becoming a record-setting skater began when he first showed an interest in the sport at an early age. His parents recognized his passion and enrolled him in skating classes, where he quickly displayed an innate talent. Despite his young age, Srihan demonstrated exceptional balance, speed, and agility on his skates, prompting his trainers to support him in taking on more significant challenges. The preparation for skating at high altitudes involved specialized training to adapt to the conditions in Ladakh. Srihan trained rigorously, not just physically but also mentally, to handle the low oxygen levels. His training sessions focused on improving his cardiovascular strength, balance, and endurance, which are crucial for skating at high altitudes. Additionally, his trainers worked on strategies to help him pace his breathing in the oxygen-deprived environment, enabling him to perform smoothly.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tOn August 20, 2024, Srihan made history by becoming the youngest person to skate at such a high altitude. His performance was nothing short of extraordinary as he skated with precision and focus, completing 1.8 kilometers in less than seven minutes. The achievement drew attention from sports enthusiasts and media worldwide, as it was not only a significant personal milestone for Srihan but also a record-setting accomplishment in the world of high-altitude sports. Srihan’s skating feat at Durbuk–Pangong Lake Road is a remarkable testament to the resilience and potential of young athletes. In a world where children often start exploring their talents early, Srihan’s accomplishment stands out as an example of what can be achieved when talent is nurtured with care and discipline. Master Srihan R. Renjith’s success at the age of 4 years and 9 months is bound to inspire a new generation of athletes who aspire to push the boundaries of their physical capabilities. His journey serves as a reminder that age is no barrier to greatness and that young minds are capable of achieving the extraordinary with dedication, the right guidance, and a strong support system. His story is not just about setting records; it is about breaking barriers, defying expectations, and showing that with the right mindset, the sky—or in Srihan’s case, the mountains—are the limit.<\/p>\r\n
