Gurugram, October 14, 2024 – In honor of International Day of the Girl, M3M Foundation reaffirms its commitment to empowering girls through education by announcing new scholarships under its flagship “Saakshar” program. Since its inception, the Saakshar program has awarded approximately 1000 scholarships, with 500 of those granted in the current year alone. Through this essential support, M3M Foundation ensures that students are provided with the resources necessary to excel academically, enabling them to overcome financial obstacles and carve their own paths to success.

Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee of M3M Foundation

Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee of M3M Foundation, expressed her dedication to this cause, stating “Being a girl should never determine what you can do, where you can go, or who you can become. Education is not only a human right but a powerful tool to eliminate gender inequality and create lasting societal change. With the Saakshar program, we are fostering an environment where girls from disadvantaged communities can thrive, unlocking their potential and paving the way for a brighter future for all.”

This year, the scholarships are being extended to some of the most marginalized girls across India, focusing on those who often face insurmountable barriers to education. The new scholarship offerings will specifically target 100 girls from families involved in manual scavenging in Tamil Nadu, as well as girls from the Paniya tribe, a historically disadvantaged indigenous community in the Nilgiris. Additionally, the Foundation is providing support to destitute children and girls from the Kumbhar community in Varanasi, where access to education is often an unattainable aspiration. By offering these scholarships, M3M Foundation aims to ensure that these girls have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals, enabling them to build brighter futures.

As part of its ongoing legacy of supporting education, M3M Foundation is dedicated to driving systemic change by ensuring that children—particularly girls—are provided with the tools to build a brighter future. These scholarships serve as a testament to the Foundation’s unwavering belief that education is the cornerstone of progress. By investing in the potential of girls, the Foundation is committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

On this International Day of the Girl, M3M Foundation invites girls from similar marginalized backgrounds to apply for the Saakshar scholarship, offering them the chance to pursue their educational aspirations. With the Foundation’s continued support, these girls can achieve their dreams and become agents of change within their communities.

G Square Announces 12th Anniversary Celebration with Exciting Customer Offers

Chennai, 14 October 2024 – G Square, South India’s largest plot promoter, today announced the celebration of its 12th anniversary, marking over a decade of transforming the real estate landscape.

 The brand’s 12th anniversary revolves around the theme “Come Home to Legacy of Twelve Years,” symbolizing a strong legacy built on trust. G Square’s journey goes beyond simply enabling customers to purchase their dream plots—it creates enduring bonds, guiding them toward building their dream homes with a trusted partner like G Square.

 With over 12 years of industry experience, G Square has been a pivotal force in redefining the real estate market, driving the following innovations:

 Redefining Real Estate: A Paradigm Shift-

 Before G Square entered the market, plotted development was a niche concept, particularly in major cities where apartments and villas dominated the sector. G Square recognized the growing demand for independent homes that offered privacy especially after COVID-19, along with the security and amenities of a secured community. This forward-thinking approach shifted buyer preferences and established plotted developments as a mainstream choice for urban homebuyers.

 Growth of Plotted Communities: Expandsion Across Tier-I, II, and III Cities
G Square didn’t restrict itself at Tier-I cities like Chennai and Coimbatore. The brand expanded into Tier-II and Tier-III cities such as Ambur, Pollachi, Dindigul, Tiruppathur, Theni and Udumalpet, bringing premium residential living to areas that previously lacked access to such developments.

 The Value Proposition: Bringing Wholesale Advantages to Retail-
The brand has always asserted that one of its standout strengths is its ability to operate like a wholesaler entering retail. By passing on cost advantages directly to customers, G Square delivers high-quality plots at competitive prices without compromising on standards. This customer-first approach has been central to the brand’s rapid success.

On this occasion, Mr. Bala Ramajeyam, Managing Director of G Square Realtors, shared his thoughts on the brand’s remarkable journey: “Over the past 12 years, G Square has evolved from an idea into a brand that has truly redefined real estate. Our vision was never just to sell plots, but to build a legacy—one where our customers feel they’ve found more than just a piece of land, but a place to call home. This success is a reflection of the passion and dedication of our incredible team and the trust our customers have placed in us. While we are proud of how far we’ve come, we know there are many more milestones ahead, and we’re excited to continue shaping the future.”
To commemorate this milestone, G Square is launching a special customer initiative—“Spin and Win at G Square.” Customers who book a plot stand a chance to win exciting gifts, including smartphones, home appliances, and gold vouchers worth up to ₹1 lakh.

Today, G Square has completed over 100 projects, developing 50 million sq. ft of land across major cities such as Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. As G Square enters its 12th year, it continues to solidify its legacy of delivering affordable, secure, and modern plotted developments throughout South India.

Bhavna Panday Reflects on Her Journey in ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives

Mumbai: 14th October 2024: Bhavna Panday Reflects on Her Journey in ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, says, “I’m not as bothered about what people think anymore, because I want to continue being myself in a more confident manner”

Bhavna Panday On Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives: We could say that I debuted with Karan Johar

bhavnapandey

On October 18, your favorite gang returns to Netflix with a new twist! The fabulous lives of Bhavna Panday, Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, and Seema Sajdeh will welcome new additions from Delhi as Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Passi, and Kalyani Saha Chawla join the mix in ‘Fabulous Lives v/s Bollywood Wives’. As Season 3 kicks off, Bhavna Panday, wife of actor Chunky Panday and mother to Bollywood star Ananya Panday, opens up about her experience, from initial apprehensions about being on screen and sharing her life to embracing her true self on screen.

Reflecting on how it all began, Bhavna shared, “I was very unsure when I first got Bollywood Wives because it was something that me, the girls, and Karan (Johar) were doing for the first time. I was really very nervous about how people would react to me because this was a reality show. I was not playing a character but in fact representing not just myself but also my family, so I had to be very cautious and careful.” Bhavna humorously acknowledged her first-time collaboration with renowned filmmaker Karan Johar, saying, “We could say that I debuted with Karan Johar,” adding a playful chuckle.

On her equation with the ladies, she says, “Season 3 is where we all have more of a comfort level with each other and the cameras. We have all been friends for so long that being with each other comes naturally to us. I have a very special equation with each of the girls and with this shared experience, our bond is even closer.”

As the series gained popularity, Bhavna’s comfort level grew. Now, with the highly anticipated third season of the show, she feels more confident than ever. “Over the seasons, I have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera and in my own skin. Earlier, I used to be more conscious — not about what I was saying, but how it might come across. But now, with this third season, I feel a lot more confident and comfortable, and I’ve opened up a lot more.”

Bhavna, known for her grace and poise, emphasized the importance of authenticity as her journey continued. “I’m not as bothered about what people think anymore, because I want to continue being myself in a more confident manner.”

In the last season, Bhavna Panday wowed us all as she adopted natural remedies such as organic products and face yoga to maintain her beauty regime over the years. We cannot wait to see what this natural beauty queen brings to the screen this time around.

Season 3 of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives promises to showcase Bhavna Panday at her most authentic and self-assured, as she continues to balance her roles as a public figure, mother, and wife while navigating the dynamic world of reality television.
