The team of ‘Daas Dev’ in New Delhi
Richa Chadda, Saurabh Shukla along with the team of ‘Daas Dev’ witnessed in New Delhi
Actress Richa Chadda along with another talented actor of Bollywood Industry Saurabh Shukla were witnessed in Nation’s Capital for the promotions of their upcoming romantic political thriller film ‘Daas Dev’. Along with them actor Rahul Bhat and director Sudhir Mishra were also present in the press conference held in Hotel Le Meridien. As their film is scheduled for release on the coming 20th April, therefore the entire team interacted with media and shared their experiences and views about the movie.
While talking about the challenges Richa faced while portraying her character of Paro in the film, she stated, “Challenges are always there especially for the movie or stories which were adapted few times and everyone knew this character was portrayed by big artists as well, so yes it was challenging, but I must say this movie is different, holding a new motive and a believable adaptation. This Paro is bit tough, I don’t feel like nowadays Paro will cry for her Dev and will run after him in a saree. She has her own style and attitude, she rides her own scooty and bikes, showcasing her dignity and respect. Its an ego thing, we won’t judge her whether she is right or wrong. This movie is a great adaptation and I am sure people will like this film.”
On the other hand, the director of the film Sudhir Mishra shared his views on the film, he said, “I feel like this movie will target all kind of audience. Every Indian understands politics and its addiction so I think this is the most accessible of my films. And there is no problem of understanding at all. The subtext of the film, that you can fix everything your relations, work but you can’t fix love. It’s a powerful story of political addiction where love is not possible, and how you overcome your addiction and see the positive side of love.” Whereas, Saurabh Shukla and Rahul Bhat also seemed confident about their upcoming flick.
Well, featured under the banner of Storm Motion Pictures and Saptarishi Cinevision Production, ‘Daas Dev’ also features Aditi Rao Hydari, Vineet Kumar Singh and Dalip Tahil in complex supporting roles along with Anil George, Deepraj Rana, Saurabh Tyagi with Anurag Kashyap in a guest appearance.
Let’s talk about goats: Boosting India’s goat sector could double rural incomes
New Delhi, 16 April 2018 – The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is partnering with the Government of India, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Agri-solutions, to host a two-day conference starting today to discuss how to significantly improve the goat sector in rural areas, specifically in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha states.
Raising goats is an income-generating activity that has enormous potential to increase incomes and improve nutrition for resource poor households, especially in remote, tribal and ecologically vulnerable areas. It is an activity that requires minimal investment and input costs. Goats are also prolific breeders and have a good survival rate in drought prone areas.
India has the second largest global goat population and has the potential to increase its role and profits in the lucrative global goat market.
Building a vibrant goat sector in India is critical to reducing poverty, meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and India’s own rural development goal of doubling farmers’ income by 2022. In this context, the conference will bring together international technical experts and national policymakers. Krishna Raj, Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, will deliver the keynote address.
“We can really have an impact on poverty reduction because we can demonstrate that we can double smallholder producers’ incomes by improving their goat production and by connecting them to the increasing market demand for mutton and goat meat,” said Antonio Rota, IFAD’s Lead Technical Specialist on Livestock.
“There are various parties that are ready to invest. We would like to help producers and interested parties come together and create the kinds of lasting partnerships that support goat producers and allow them access to the untapped market as equal partners. IFAD is specialized in brokering public, private, producer partnerships. We can make a change by helping rural communities develop and improve the goat sector,” Rota added.
The two-day event will be followed by a learning route which will include visits to locations that host the latest developments in the goat sector in the country – innovative health service delivery, commercial farming, modern processing, and links to markets.

Meet Nugget, The Award Winning Mobile phone
‘MEET NUGGET’, THE AWARD-WINNNG MOBILE PHONE GAME TAKING INDIAN TEENS BY STORM
“A teenager’s mobile that doesn’t have Nugget on it has no right to be called a ‘mobile’ at all!” Says Priyanka Chopra
Intrigued? Well, meet Nugget, the award-winning mobile phone game for teenage girls and boys that is taking India by storm. Nugget’s motto is “Jhel mat. Khel.” The aim of the game is for the player to identify those interfering adults who kill their vibe and escape their influence to notch up a fat score. It seeks to create, among its players, a recognition of gender stereotyping and the need to escape the force-field it represents.
Admiration for Nugget does not stop with Priyanka Chopra. With over 1.6 lakh downloads to date and topping the Google Play store charts for a whole week, Nugget is making waves with teenagers across India. The judges at GoaFest 2018 – India’s premier advertising awards show – were no exception, awarding Nugget a bronze in the Mobile Game/App category. The only other winner in this category was Jio KBC, also awarded a bronze.
BBC Media Action, with funding from UNICEF, has developed a multi-platform communication initiative in India to address gender equality among adolescents. The initiative uses a diffusion of innovations approach to reach adolescent boys and girls aged 10-19 years and their parents, in primarily peri-urban geographies. The communication initiative spans multiple outputs, including television drama, radio, IVR content, graphic novels, activity books and a mobile phone game.
245 million adolescents in India represent a huge potential demographic dividend that has a critical role to play in achieving national priorities. Reaching that goal, however, will be impossible without building the confidence and competence of adolescents to focus on their dreams and aspirations. Most adolescents struggle as they make the complex transition from childhood to adulthood, characterised by significant biological, emotional and psychological changes. They lead lives limited by the ‘force-field’ (or lakshmanrekha) of social expectations, where they fail to recognise gender stereotyping, and how that limits their growth and development.
The one thing Enid Blyton would tell you, is that every protagonist needs an antagonist. In the case of our mobile game, our androgynous protagonist, Nugget, has six antagonists who represent the forcefield that circumscribe the lives of adolescents. Users helped us identify and crystallize these antagonists through a human centred design process. Those antagonists who represent various pressure points in an Indian adolescent’s life, have been gamified as Ungly Aunty or Aunty Needle, Tank-jhank Padosi or Nosy Neighbour, Fenku Uncle or Uncle Hyperbole, Show Off Dost or Show Off Pal, Kalesh Bua or Aunt Give-some-grief andChugalkhor Chacha or Unca Snitch. Each character is presented as a stylized arm – one that could crush Nugget – unless the player can help Nugget escape the pressure.
It’s a simple and familiar arcade game that we’ve all played at some stage in our lives. What makes it unique is Nugget’s story about the pressures and the forcefield created by these real and recognisable characters that surround every adolescent.
Nugget is androgynous so that players, irrespective of gender, can identify with the protagonist. The content in the game – both text and audio – is in a conversational blend of Hindi and English that has become lingua franca for urban teens.
Nugget has been developed using a human centred design process. The cast of characters, gameplay, content, have all been designed based on input from users, and everything has been tested with users’ multiple times to ensure the best chance of success.

DSPORT, a premium sports TV channel by Discovery Communications India, has acquired the exclusive rights to broadcast Season 2 of the Poker Sports League (PSL), the world’s first franchise based poker league. This will be the first ever broadcast of Texas hold’em poker in India.
Delhi Panthers, owned by Rishi Kajaria of Kajaria Ceramics took home INR 1.5 crore as prize money. The league in the inaugural year became an instant hit. Not just with the players on the table or the passionate franchisees following their teams but also with millions of other poker sports followers. Season One live streaming registered 4.5 million views on FB & PSL Final Table recorded 1.28 million views.
Poker Sports League, undoubtedly is one of the most sought after leagues in the poker industry & is currently in its 2nd season. Brand Ambassador of PSL, Mr. Viswanathan Anand will make his first media appearance along with the co-founders to announce the 12 teams for this season & unveil the winning trophy. Attached herewith, is the media invite for an exclusive Press Conference.
