उदयपुर की आत्मिका ने जूनियर शूटिंग वर्ल्ड चैम्पियनशिप में जीते दो सिल्वर मेडल

उदयपुर की एक और बेटी ने इतिहास में अपना नाम दर्ज कर लिया है। इस बार शूटर आत्मिका गुप्ता ने पेरू की राजधानी लीमा में चल रही आईएसएसएफ जूनियर वर्ल्ड चैम्पियनशिप में अप्रतिम प्रदर्शन करते हुए टीम और मिक्स इवेंट में देश के लिए दो सिल्वर मेडल जीते है।

30 सितंबर से 10 अक्तूबर तक चलने वाले इस चैंपियनशिप में 32 देशों के 370 निशानेबाज विभिन्न स्पर्धाओं में हिस्सा ले रहे हैं। उसमे से आत्मिक भी एक हैं।

आत्मिका ने 2 अक्टूबर को 10 मीटर एयर रायफल की मिक्स टीम की फाइनल स्पर्धा में राजप्रीत सिंह के साथ अमेरिकन जोड़ी को कड़ी टक्कर देते हुए सिल्वर मेडल प्राप्त किया। उसी दिन 10 मीटर एयर रायफल में निशा कंवर और जीना खिट्टा के साथ हंगरी की टीम के साथ भी कड़े मुकाबले के बाद सिल्वर मेडल पर अपना हक़ जमाया।

​​​​​​​आत्मिका ने पहली बार तकरीबन 17 साल की उम्र में रायफल चलाना बीएन कॉलेज रेंज में सीखा था। वहां उनके कोच जितेंद्र सिंह मायदा थे, जिन्होंने पहली बार आत्मिक को शूटिंग में निपुण किया ।

आत्मिका ने पिछली नेशनल चैम्पियनशिप में 6 मेडल जीते थे और हाल में आयोजित ट्रायल में पहला स्थान हासिल किया, जिसके आधार पर भारतीय दल में इनका चयन हुआ।

स्पर्धा के बाद 20 साल की आत्मिका ने पिता आंचल गुप्ता को बताया कि “अब तक के प्रदर्शन को देखते हुए स्वर्ण पदक की उम्मीद थी, लेकिन कड़े मुकाबले में चूक गए। अब ओलिंपिक 2024 के लिए दुगुनी तैयारी करूंगी”। उनके पिता ने कहा कि “बेटी ने सबकी उम्मीदों को पूरा किया है”।

नारायण सेवा संस्थान के विमंदित पुनर्वास केंद्र में फ़ूड पॉइजनिंग से 2 बच्चों की मौत और 5 अस्पताल में भर्ती

नारायण सेवा संस्थान के मानसिक विमंदित पुनर्वास केंद्र में रहने वाले 49 में से 7 बालकों को मंगल-बुधवार को उल्टी-डायरिया और कंपकपी की शिकायत पर एमबी अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया था। जहां 17 और 16 वर्षीय 2 बच्चों की मौत हो गई थी।

नारायण सेवा संस्थान के मानसिक विमंदित पुनर्वास केंद्र में रहने वाले 2 बच्चों की फूड पॉइजनिंग से मौत हो गई और 5 बच्चे एमबी अस्पताल में भर्ती हैं।

सीमएचओ डॉ दिनेश खराड़ी ने बताया कि विमंदित गृह के संचालकों से बात की गई तो बाहर से किसी के द्वारा फूड पैकेट दिए जाने की बात कही गई है। उन पैकेट को खाने के बाद 7 बच्चों की तबीयत बिगड़ी। उन्होंने कहा कि फूड पॉइजनिंग की संभावना से इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता हैं।

नारायण सेवा संस्थान अध्यक्ष प्रशांत अग्रवाल का कहना है कि पुनर्वास केंद्र में आए दिन सेवाभावी लोग भोजन आदि सामग्री बच्चों को खिलाकर जाते हैं, जिससे सेहत खराब होने की संभावना ज्यादा है। अब चिकित्सा विभाग और पुलिस की टीम इस मामले की हर पहलू से जांच कर रही है।

राजस्थान राज्य बाल अधिकार संरक्षण आयोग ने सीएमएचओ डॉ. दिनेश खराड़ी से मामले की 7 दिन में तथ्यात्मक रिपोर्ट मांगी है। एमबी अस्पताल अधीक्षक डॉ. आरएल सुमन ने बताया कि एमबी में भर्ती पांचों बच्चों की तबीयत में सुधार है। आईसीयू में भर्ती बालक की तबीयत भी सुधरी है। 

कलेक्टर चेतन देवड़ा ने बुधवार रात 10 बजे भर्ती बच्चों की सेहत देखी और उसके बाद बड़ी स्थित पुनर्वास केंद्र जाकर किचन और अन्य व्यवस्थाओं का जायज़ा भी लिया।

Piplantri: The Village of Eco-Feminism

It just takes a step to move forward and set a benchmark. One can work and work throughout life but to set an example, asks a lot.

There hasn’t been a moment when we are not proud of our co-citizen’s wonders, but today the chest dwells up to another level. Sh. Shyam Sundar Paliwal of Piplantri Village, Rajsamand District is no lesser than a superhero. His work in the fields of plantation, water conversation and girl child attracts the whole world down to this astounding village.

About Piplantri Village of Rajsamand

  • Piplantri is a village located in Rajsamand district in Rajasthan State, India.
  • The villagers of Piplantri plant 111 trees every time a girl child is born and the community ensures that the trees survive and rigorously take care.
  • To ensure financial security, after the birth of a girl child, the villagers contribute collectively and  from the parents and put the amount in a fixed deposit.
  • To make sure that girl child receives proper education, the villagers make the parents sign an affidavit which also restricts them from marrying her off before she attains the legal age for marriage.
  • This initiative was started by Sh. Shyam Sundar Paliwal, the former sarpanch (the village head) and a Padma Shri awardee in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who passed away a few years ago.

Benefits of the campaign

  • The initiative has also helped the village’s economy a lot.
  • Village has planted more than 2.5 million Aloe vera plants around the trees, just to keep termites away from all the trees, especially the fruit bearing one.
  • The villagers used the aloe vera as a remedy and gradually realized that it can be processed and marketed in a variety of ways.
  • After that,  the community started to produce and market aloe vera based products like juices and gels and other products.
  • The campaign has also involved building check dams on the pastures on nearby hills to recharge the groundwater level.

Not only this marvelous village has excelled in the campaign to save the girl child and make them self-reliant but also their efforts to save the ecosystem and encourage the concept of plantation and water conservation are extraordinary .

In a country where male children are blindly supported and the rate of girl child foeticide is still not decreasing, this noble step surely has brought a change, which is a lesson to each and everyone that if one tries, one can!

  • Nothing was visible due to the snow and haze. Still they moved ahead.
  • The team was just 800m away from the dinal summit and suddenly a team mate started to feel Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS); a sickness that every avid mountaineer dreads of.
  • This time, Kartik Khandelwal has achieved a 20,000 ft climb to Mt. Yunam, or rather gave up touching the summit by a distance of 800m to fulfill another imperative task.
  • The co-trekker was Kartik’s trek buddy (During trekking two mountaineers are paired and called buddy). With his health detoriating, Kartik had to take a call of choosing between his goals, that he aspired the most and had come to achieve it with grave difficulties or to save someone’s life.
  • Normally, if a person in a group is down during trekking then the whole crew stops dismisses the further journey on stop. But in this case as the crew was very close to their final height and seeing his friends situation deteriorating, Kartik took a call to let his team move forward and carry his friend by himself back to the base.
  • He carried his buddy with both of their heavy rucksacks. And finally was able save him.

It’s truly said that life is an adventure and full of surprises. You never know what may come and when. You might plan things but things may not go accordingly. Today, Kartik Khandelwal has set an example that humanity is above everything. To safe a life he was ready to drop a dream for which he was prepping for so long and was so close to achieving it.

Not everyone has the courage to do that and we are proud of his acts and accomplishments.
