Gear up for a wild magical carpet ride with the mystical live action adaptation of Disney’s iconic Aladdin

~Aladdin will premiere on Star Movies on 31 st May 2020 at 12 pm and 9 pm.~


28 th May 2020: Once upon a time in a kingdom far away, there was a golden lamp, which when rubbed released a magnificent genie… and the rest, as they say, is history. ‘Aladdin’, the beloved classic, and its spellbinding journey is returning with a fun new twist, in the live action adaptation of Disney’s popular animated musical.

The stellar star-cast, Will Smith, Mena Massaoud and Naomi Scott turn on the charm, grace and enthusiasm for this action-packed, exhilarating and visually compelling joy ride. Get ready to experience the magic and enchantment of ‘Aladdin’, through the live action adaption of the Disney extravaganza, premiering on Star Movies, this Sunday. Relive this ‘Whole New World’, with a complex storyline, beautiful melodious renditions of the iconic tracks, ornate settings and breathtakingly exuberant visuals.

Upon being asked about his experience playing the Genie and honoring the late great actor Robin Williams, actor Will Smith stated “It was much more… it was terrifying! Robin Williams did just an absolutely brilliant, memorable and nostalgic job in his film. So, for me when I am looking at a role and especially something that has historic and nostalgic value, what I am asking myself is ‘is there any meat left on the bone?’ ‘What is it that I would add to the role’ and one of the major aspects was going from animation to live action. So, the idea was like okay live action that is going to be different and the idea of being able to modernize, to be able to pay homage to the original character, to be able to honour Robin while at the same time getting a new voice to modernize the Genie. I saw there was a potential for absolute tragedy but there was a potential to be able to create something that did both of those things!”

Experience the delight of Agrabah for the first time on television this Sunday, 12 PM and 9 PM, only on Star Movies.

Prof Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur further adds, “We are extremely delighted to present our official logo to the world. The logo is the perfect representation of every ideal and principle the institute has been built on. The logo is a bold graphic depiction of the three core values of the institute — innovation, integrity and inclusiveness which is also portrayed by the three white squares. These ideals also resonate in the Sanskrit sloka — नवसर्जनम् शुचिता समावेशत्वम् . We are hopeful that the logo will help in concreting the identity of the institute further and will soon become synonymous with its name.”
IIM Sambalpur has always taken pride in its legacy. This becomes evident in the logo as well which derives inspiration from the renowned Sambalpuri woven ikat motifs. Ikat which has been called "poetry on the loom" forms the main pattern of the logo. The overlapping forms in the centre of the logo represents the local context and ethos of rigour, rootedness and humanity. The individual square elements made from three equal lines represent the three stakeholders — the institute, the industry and the society. The geometric symbol evokes a sense of openness and innovative leadership.
The logotype set in bold font, centrally aligned, reflects stability. The deep blue colour reiterates the institute’s blue ocean strategy that focuses on exploring the unknown through incubation and entrepreneurship. The logo has been conceptualised and ideated by Prof Mahadeo Jaiswal and has been transformed into reality by the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.

Finance Minister assures to address issues by DICCI of SC-ST MSME

·  DICCI submits recommendations to FM for reviving SC-ST MSMEs
·  Seeks earmarking of relief package for SC-ST entrepreneurs
May 28, 2020: Union Finance Minister Mrs Nirmala Sitharaman assured the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) that the government will address all relevant concerns raised by the chamber regarding the Atma Nirbhar Bharat relief package announced earlier this month, and other issues of SC-ST entrepreneurs.

The Minister was addressing DICCI members during a webinar held here today. All secretaries of the ministry were also present.

“DICCI is the voice of the ground level stakeholders, which we take very seriously. It has made a pioneering effort to bring forth the voice of the entrepreneurial segment of the community and have contributed immensely in policy formations,” the Minister said.

Founder-Chairman of DICCI, Dr Milind Kamble suggested a series of measures to the government for SC-ST entrepreneurs to help them revive business after the lockdown. “From MSME’s to street vendors – all nano entrepreneurs have been taken care of with the Atma Nirbhar package announced by the government,” he said. Thanking the government for the MSME package, he also urged the minister to increase credit limit from 20% to 40% of turnover to meet the working capital requirements of SC and ST entrepreneurs during this crisis.

Dr Kamble further requested the government to consider the creation of 15% Margin Money Support Scheme for Stand-Up India Scheme (SUIS) for enabling first-generation SC-ST entrepreneurs to avail the credit facility of Stand-Up India Scheme and creation of MUDRA 2.0 to support credit facilities to nano and micro-entrepreneurs. He suggested that the National Scheduled Caste Finance Development Corporation (NSFDC) be reconstituted into a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) for channelizing the Scheduled Caste development funds directly to the SC entrepreneurs and to yield result-oriented outcomes. Dr Kamble also voiced concern over the provision for disallowing global tenders for government procurements for up to Rs 200 crores, saying that it could be used to indirectly route global players into the Indian market for these tenders.

Mr Ravi Kumar Narra, National Working President of DICCI, urged the minister to reintroduce the Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) plan to incentivize employers for generating new employment in the post-COVID-19 scenario. “ESIC should also be included under the scheme to incentivize both the employer and the employees. The scheme may be revived for another period of 3 years for the existing and new businesses,” he said. “Many SME start-ups have taken loans and were in various stages of setup when suddenly the lockdown derailed their process. If not supported at this juncture they will die, causing not just personal loss but a huge potential loss to the economy. Such start-ups should be identified and a special Start-Up Relief Package should be brought out to support them,” he added.

Mr Sanjiv Dangi, North India President of DICCI, appreciated the measures announced in the relief package to ensure the survival of SC-ST MSMEs. He suggested that 10% of these funds should be earmarked for SC-ST MSMEs so that its benefits reach these enterprises. He also pointed out the problem entrepreneurs were facing in meeting their GST obligations due to partial or delayed payments. “We request the Hon’ble Minister to consider making GST payable only on amounts received on bills and not the full amount.”

Mr Raja Nayak, South India President of DICCI, urged the government to set up a Venture Capital Fund for Scheduled Tribes (VCF-ST), similar to the existing Venture Capital Fund for Scheduled Castes (VCF-SC) managed by IFCI. “It will enable the development of entrepreneurship in the Scheduled Tribes communities,” he said.
Mr. Nishchay Shelke, West India President, all Chapter Presidents and National Council members, including participants from London, UK, and Kyoto, Japan, voiced their concerns and suggestions during the webinar. Amongst the eminent panellists, Mr. Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director & CEO of Bombay Stock Exchange, and Mr. Kishore Kharat, former Managing Director and CEO, Indian Bank and IDBI Bank, put forward their suggestions too.

Following the Finance Minister’s assurance, DICCI has stated it will send its detailed proposals to the Ministry for consideration and implementation.
