Blue Nudge Revolutionizes Environmental Education with Cutting-Edge Augmented/Virtual Reality
New Delhi, 29th Dec 2023: Blue Nudge, a leading Education to Action (EdAct) platform of Blue Planet Environmental Solution has launched its groundbreaking Environmental Studies Programs. These programs seamlessly integrate Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies into its teaching methodology, providing students with an immersive and transformative learning experience.
As of now, Blue Nudge has used these augmented reality tools in the “Climate change” workshop in DAV Faridabad. Around 30 Students(from Class 6 to 8) participated in this unique project. The three-day workshop included an induction / objective session, which gave students deep insights about the atmosphere and planet. In the next two days, the young learners were made aware about pollution-related concerns, with practical engagement
The Environmental Studies Programs are designed for students from diverse backgrounds who share an interest in making meaningful contributions to the fight against climate change. Through a blend of online modules and community engagement activities, these programs empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become active advocates for a sustainable future.
Harsh Mehrotra, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Nudge, expressed his enthusiasm about the program’s potential impact, stating, “At Blue Nudge, we believe in harnessing the power of technology to inspire and educate the next generation of environmental leaders. Our Programs goes beyond traditional teaching methods, offering students a dynamic and interactive platform to engage with crucial topics like climate change mitigation and sustainable practices. We are excited to contribute to the education landscape by offering a program that not only educates but also inspires students to actively participate in the global movement for sustainability.”
“With the help of Augmented/Virtual reality, we want to take the students sometimes to outer space teaching atmosphere and sometimes to challenging operational situations, where students should understand the process but should NOT be physically present there. This innovative teaching technique goes beyond conventional classroom learning, providing students with a unique opportunity to visualize and address real-world environmental challenges. As of Now, we are using JIG space as a platform and IOS ecosystem to display the models; very soon we will be also using other headsets like Oculus etc to teach the students through augmented reality,” added Mr Mehrotra.
The program’s holistic approach extends beyond the classroom, serving as a springboard for students’ academic and professional growth. By offering a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, Blue Nudge aims to prepare students for a wide range of national and international opportunities, fostering a generation of environmentally conscious leaders.
Post the workshop Mrs. Anita Gautam, Principal of DAV Faridabad expressed her view about the workshop and said; “The recent workshop on climate change conducted by Blue Planet- Blue Nudge catered to young learners of class VI to VIII, offered an immersive educational experience. Combining technology with environmental awareness, the session engaged participants through interactive augmented reality simulations depicting the impact of climate change. Students were given food for thought by showcasing eye opening videos about climate change and hands-on-activities were also involved. The workshop helped the students foster a deeper understanding of environmental issues, encouraging proactive measures to mitigate climate challenges. Our students embraced this innovative approach, grasping complex concepts in an accessible, engaging manner which will be empowering them to become informed stewards of our planet’s future. I am extremely thankful to Blue Planet Environment Solutions for taking their first ever AR based workshop with us. We hope that my young environment saviours take it far and wide.”

Goldmedal’s New Year Campaign Focuses on Loneliness of Senior Citizens
Bengaluru, 29th December 2023: Goldmedal Electricals, one of India’s leading Fast Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) companies, announced the launch of their New Year’s Ad Campaign, which aims to highlight the increasing loneliness amongst senior citizens. As per reports, almost 75% of seniors feel alone despite having families. Social isolation and loneliness among seniors are widespread and are recognized as a priority health problem.
Conceptualized and executed by FoxyMoron, the flagship agency of Zoo Media, campaign invites the audience to reflect on the emotional needs of the elderly, often overshadowed by the relentless pace of modern life. The busy lifestyles of the younger generation mean that they are often unable to give the time and attention that their elders need. Goldmedal’s ad depicts volunteers sprucing up the interiors of an old-age home with the brand’s products and then spending time with the elderly residents to brighten up their day. It suggests a special New Year’s resolution – giving the gift of time to seniors who might be longing for companionship.
Speaking about the New Year’s Ad Campaign, Mr. Kishan Jain, Director, Goldmedal Electricals commented, “Our New Year’s campaign goes beyond simply highlighting our electrical solutions. We want to create a meaningful impact by addressing the issue of senior citizen loneliness and emphasizing the need to show appreciation to those who have given us so much. It’s a small gesture that can make a huge difference and bring immense joy to the lives of the elderly.”
Goldmedal invites the public to join the movement and share their stories of spending time with seniors. The campaign is part of their #GharGharLagtaHai campaign which brings out the various facets of Indian family life that makes every home special.

It posed a new challenge for me. It required significant effort to prepare for a role that I had never undertaken. Initially, narrating the plot and presenting different criminal stories was tough. But, as actors, it is our job to embrace new roles. So, I approached it without overthinking and gave it my best shot as I love to explore challenging opportunities.”

Why 2024 will be an inflection point for health insurance in India – Mr. Anuj Parekh – co-founder and CEO at Bharatsure
“With nearly 90 Crore Indians still without a health Insurance cover, there is a wider push to cover the missing middle. While there has been enough talk about covering this number, there are 2 major developments that will prove to be an inflection point for health insurance in India – Health Claims Exchange and ABHA. This year saw the launch and adoption of Health Claims Exchange and this promises to be a game-changer. It is a tech-enabled platform for exchanging claims-related information among insurance companies, claimants or beneficiaries and regulators, among others. This digital highway streamlines medical claim processing, reducing frauds, cutting paperwork and processing times. It won’t be surprising if this becomes widely implemented in 2024 to simplify your claim journey. ABHA, an Aadhaar like identity for Indians for healthcare has seen almost 50 Crore Indians register and get their digital healthcare identities. While there has not been a major use case around for ABHA till now, there seem to be enough critical mass to start implementing seamless delivery around insurance and healthcare in 2024. There are other developments proposed by IRDAI – BIMA Sugam – an exchange for policies and, reformed insurer and intermediary regulations that will add to the industry growth. However, concerns still remain over the increasing health insurance costs that are expected to rise even higher next year.”
