Gurugram, March 10th 2025: Manasthali, a leading mental health and wellness platform, marked the International Women’s Day 2025 with MannShakti, an inspiring celebration dedicated to recognising and fostering the inner strength (shakti) of women. The event brought together experts, thought leaders and individuals from diverse backgrounds to engage in meaningful discussions and holistic wellness experiences for women.

Dr Jyoti Kapoor, Founder-Director and Senior Psychiatrist, of Manasthali Wellness, set the tone for the event by questioning the conventional approach to Women’s Day celebrations.  “Every year on Women’s Day, we celebrate and talk about rights, equality, and empowerment. But are things truly changing? Are we just offering token gestures, or are we driving real transformation? The idea of empowerment isn’t about external validation; it’s about recognizing the strength within us. True change happens when we stop expecting others to take care of us and start embracing our power. This inner strength, this manshakti, is what truly matters. Women’s empowerment isn’t just about acknowledgment about realizing our worth and taking charge of our destiny,” she said.

The annual event witnessed an engaging panel discussion on ‘We for Womanhood’, which was attended by experts including Dr. Alma Chopra – Women Disability Activist; Dr. Anjali Kumar – Founder, Maitri Woman; Dr. Indu Bansal – Group Director and HOD, Radiation Oncology, Paras Healthcare Pvt Ltd and Dr. Jyoti Kapoor, Founder-Director and Senior Psychiatrist, Manasthali. It covered critical issues such as the challenges faced by working women clients, education and action for cases of abuse, the neglect of women’s mental health while prioritizing family responsibilities, and the role of women doctors in supporting fellow women in healthcare. The panel was moderated by Ms. Aishwarya Raj, Clinical Psychologist, at AIIMS, New Delhi.

Attendees also participated in a deeply rejuvenating sound bath session with Ms. Francesca Bak, a renowned wellness expert, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being. Additionally, the event featured an integrative wellness program, offering holistic approaches to mental, emotional, and physical health.
Adding a unique dimension to the evening, Manasthali’s Wellness Studio Special – MAYA (Music-Art-Yoga-Awareness) brought a transformative experience for attendees. Led by Dr. Shambhavi Das, an expert in therapeutic arts and mindfulness, the session seamlessly integrated the healing elements of music, expressive art, and yoga to promote holistic well-being. Participants engaged in guided music meditation, where rhythmic sounds and melodies created a calming atmosphere, allowing them to connect with their inner selves.

Through these insightful discussions and immersive wellness experiences, MannShakti 2025 emphasized that women’s empowerment is not just about external recognition but about realizing one’s potential.

Kolkata, 10^th March’25: Women have been the pillars of families, workplaces, and society for ages, but their health has always been secondary to the responsibilities of life. This International Women’s Day, Manipal Hospitals made a bold move in rewriting that script with a strong initiative focused on women’s health and empowerment. The hospital gathered working professionals, women HR heads, police officers, and dignified members of the IAS and IPS Women’s Association for an illuminating and festive morning under the theme “The Power of Her”, in the presence of the doctors from all units of the hospital group.

“The Power of Her” is not just a theme; it is a declaration that when a woman is empowered, an entire community flourishes. Women are the silent architects of strength, balancing careers, families, and societal expectations, yet their well-being often takes a backseat. ‘Power of Her’ is about reclaiming that space, ensuring that every woman prioritizes her health, her dreams, and her voice. It is a tribute to the resilience of women—those who have fought battles, shattered glass ceilings, and redefined possibilities. The ceremony began with an emergency life-saving Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training, which provided the participants with essential first-response skills. This was then preceded by a ceremonial inauguration process, which included a lamp-lighting ceremony.

Perhaps the most highly awaited part of the event was the Doctor and Patient Case Study Session, wherein  inspiring medical cases by Dr. Sutanu Hazra, Senior Consultant & HOD – Orthopaedics, Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur Unit, Dr Parijat Deb Choudhary, Consultant – Interventional Cardiologist, Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur Unit, Dr. Sanchila Talukdar, Consultant – Obstetrics And Gynaecology, Manipal Hospital, Mukundapur Unit, Dr. Pooja Agarwal, Consultant of Surgical Oncology (Breast Surgery), Medica Superspecialty Hospital, part  of Manipal Hospitals Group, Dr. Arindam Pande, Senior Consultant in the Department of Cardiology, Medica Superspecialty Hospital, part of Manipal Hospitals Group, Dr. Amitabha Ghosh, Consultant- General & Laparoscopic Surgeon, Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria Unit, Dr. Saswati Sinha, Consultant – Critical Care, Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria Unit, Dr. Irina Dey, Consultant – Obstetrics and Gynaecology,  Dr. Ansu Sen, Consultant – Neurology, Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake revealed stories of courage, specialist treatment, and lives altered.

In the discussion, Dr. Prerna Goenka, shared, “Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies, especially in calcium and iron, which are vital for their growth and overall development. Prioritizing timely immunizations and routine health check-ups is essential to building a strong foundation for their long-term well-being.”

While Dr. Abhinibesh Chatterjee, expressed, “Adolescence is a transformative phase where awareness about pubertal development, hygiene, sanitation, and sex education becomes essential. Equipping young girls with the right knowledge empowers them to make informed health choices for the future.”

Balancing work-life responsibilities while prioritizing health through regular screenings and lifestyle modifications is key to overall well-being.”

Dr. Arunava Roy highlighted the critical role of early cancer detection in women, stating, “The increasing prevalence of breast and cervical cancer underscores the urgency of regular screenings. Raising awareness about preventive measures and available treatment options is essential to lowering cancer-related mortality and enhancing overall quality of life.”

Dr. Rajib Basu explained the orthopedic issues women face during mid-age in the discussion and shared, “Osteoporosis and arthritis are major concerns for women in midlife and beyond, affecting mobility and overall health. Early intervention, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and an active lifestyle can help maintain bone strength and prevent long-term complications.”

Dr. Subhasis Roy Chowdhury, talked about heart health of women during the discussion and stated, “”cardiovascular diseases are increasingly affecting women, often with subtle symptoms that go unnoticed. Regular heart check-ups, a balanced diet, and stress management are essential to mitigating risks and ensuring a healthy heart at every stage of life.”

Apart from the health discussions, the event brought to the forefront women entrepreneurs and their resilience and contributions to society. The women had overcome adversity, broken barriers, and opened doors for others, and their success was something to be celebrated.

Chennai, 10^th March 2025: In a significant step towards promoting safe and responsible gaming, the All-India Gaming Federation (AIGF), the Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS), and the E-Gaming Federation (EGF), today jointly signed a ‘Code of Ethics’ (CoE). The CoE is aimed at enforcing consistent standards of user safety across the industry through the implementation of responsible gaming and advertising policies and mandates annual third-party audits and comprehensive reporting mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency.

The CoE has been created based on global best practices and lays down a strong framework for responsible gaming such as age-gating, adopting stringent KYC and enabling user-set spending limits & self-exclusion.  It will apply to all online gaming operators who are members of the federations and offer skill-based real-money gaming services in India and safeguard the interests of over 50 crore Indian gamers.

Gaming operators with an annual revenue of INR 100 crores or more will have to implement the Code within six months from the date of signing, while those with annual revenues below INR 100 crores will have nine months to comply. Upon successful adoption, federations will issue a certification valid for one year which shall be renewable annually upon completion of a third-party independent audit. The Code will be reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.

Key Principles of the Code of Ethics:

• Responsible Gaming Practices: Age gating, no operations in restricted states, and robust KYC mechanisms.
• Player Protection: Safeguarding data, and appropriate management of player funds.
• Fair Gaming Practices: Ensuring integrity and fairness in gameplay.
• Transparency: Providing clear and accurate information to players.
• Informed Decision-Making: Enabling players to make well-informed decisions with options to self-exclude and set limits
• Support for Vulnerable Players: Tools and resources for identifying and assisting at-risk players.
• Responsible Advertising: Ethical advertising and promotions.

 Roland Landers, CEO, of All India Gaming Federation said, “As the largest and oldest industry association, we at AIGF believe that a thriving gaming industry must be built on the pillars of responsibility, transparency, innovation, and player protection. This Code of Ethics reinforces our commitment to fair play, compliance with Indian laws, and fostering a secure and responsible gaming environment. Through collaboration with other industry federations, we are setting new benchmarks for ethical gaming, strengthening the credibility of India’s online gaming sector, and building a sustainable, globally competitive ecosystem.”

 Commenting on this initiative, Neil Castelino, Director General, FIFS said, “This joint code marks a significant step forward in our commitment to fostering a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment in the country. By working together as an industry, we are setting a unified standard that prioritizes player well-being, integrity, and accountability across the industry. This we believe will be pivotal in ensuring a safe environment for the 24 crore FS users in the country.”

Anuraag Saxena, CEO of EGF said, “National interest, consumer interest, and the industry’s interest have all suffered too long. Unethical gambling operators have been parasitically harming the nation, its exchequer, and its people. I’m delighted that the industry is collaborating on the joint code of ethics today. The adoption of these standards reinforces our commitment to accountability through third-party audits, responsible gaming policies, and ethical business practices. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the industry taking due cognizance of this is a great step ahead for gaming in India.”

The signing of the CoE follows a joint MoU signed by the three federations with ASCI to address the growing concern over illegal betting and gambling advertisements by offshore entities and highlights the proactive steps that the industry is taking to ensure user safety.
