A BRIEF :

We started ESA Mission (Esa – Easiest Solution for All) from “May, 2021 till present” works to help all places in India lead eco-friendly, cleanliness.

The reason behind this mission and vision for our India, we have seen a lot of people without humanity. Though they’re rich but not willing to spend for their own family members because of their short selfishness. Our selfishness should be big and broad like district, state or national level. Then we can see the brightness in our district level, state and national level too.

Mr. Mohamed Abubacker started his first step from the plantation drive doing the plantation in his backyard space in his house and then he started doing the plantation drive in his Thanjavur district.

Later on he felt it small so after doing 1500 fruit saplings he started collecting and donating the books not only in Thanjavur also in Vellore, Bengaluru, Mysore and planned to start in Palakkad.


His vision begin in the year 2013 back in Teynampet, Madras. At the time he lost Rs. 200 no one was ready to help. He felt should bring back humanity. It also should control the inflation and smiles on the faces of the poor. He joined hands with the school, university students, public & private sectors to transform this earth for everyone!
His mission is for India.

He focus on healthy natural organic foods, to give clothes for the poor, to stay fit & healthy, to develop the rural & to improve the urban, to support government institutions, to compare and learn from the art & history!


We have spent Rs. 2,00,000 within this amount we have planted more than 2600 fruit saplings, 2500 meals for 2500 people for 2.5 years, collected more than 55000 books and donated more than 13,000 books to the schools, colleges, libraries, tuition centres, and individuals, awareness program for more than 6 institutions and social media platforms, art & history related.

We have collected more than 30 historical events and messages about our Hindustan 200 years record.

We have collcted more than 100 waste tyres, well washed and painted orange, white and green those were placed at the entrance of the government hospital.

Our Present Target :

Surprisingly everything till date costed Rs. 2,00,000 only, but from now we expect more than Rs 15,00,000 to do more initiatives.

New Delhi :

President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday presented the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar to 17 children, recognizing their exceptional courage and outstanding achievements across diverse fields, including art, culture, sports and innovation.

The President underlined the importance of nurturing and celebrating young talents.

“Providing opportunities and recognizing children’s talents has always been a part of our tradition. This tradition should be further strengthened to ensure that every child realizes their full potential,” she said.

The award celebrates extraordinary accomplishments in seven categories: art and culture, bravery, innovation, science and technology, social service, sports and environment.

The honourees — seven boys and ten girls selected from 14 states and Union territories — were presented with a medal, certificate and citation booklet.

Among them was Keya Hatkar, a 14-year-old author and disability advocate, recognized for her excellence in art and culture.

Despite living with spinal muscular atrophy, she founded initiatives like “IM POSSIBLE” and “SMA-ART,” promoting inclusivity and disability awareness.

President Murmu highlighted the importance of honouring such talents, saying, “The tradition of recognising and nurturing children’s potential has always been part of our culture. Their contributions will lead India to the pinnacle of progress.”

She further emphasised the Ministry of Women and Child Development’s role in sharing these stories of inspiration with the wider public.

The President also paid homage to the unparalleled sacrifices of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons, commemorated as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ on December 26, saying, “Their sacrifices for faith and self-respect continue to inspire countless generations. On this day, the nation bows in reverence to their bravery and spirit.”

Among the other awardees was Ayaan Sajad, a 12-year-old Sufi singer from Kashmir, honoured for his soulful contributions to Kashmiri music, while 17-year-old Vyas Om Jignesh, who has cerebral palsy, was lauded for his dedication to Sanskrit literature, having memorised over 5,000 shlokas and performed in over 500 shows.

In bravery, Saurav Kumar (9) was recognised for saving three girls from drowning, and 17-year-old Ioanna Thapa was honoured for rescuing 36 residents from a fire.

“Examples of courage and patriotism in children strengthen the nation’s confidence in its future. Such acts are truly commendable,” President Murmu remarked as she presented the award to the two children.

In the innovation category, 15-year-old Sindhoora Raja was awarded for creating self-stabilizing devices for Parkinson’s patients, and cybersecurity entrepreneur Risheek Kumar (17) was honoured for launching Kashmir’s first cybersecurity firm.

“Contributions to science, technology, and innovation by children like these show their unparalleled potential to transform lives,” the President observed.

Hembati Nag, a judo player from a Naxal-affected area was awarded in the sports category. She overcame numerous challenges to win a silver medal at the Khelo India National Games.

Mentioning Nag’s story, President Murmu said, “Hembati’s resilience amidst adversity is an example of unmatched courage and determination.”

Chess prodigy Anish Sarkar, the youngest FIDE-ranked player at just three years old, was also honoured.

The President envisioned a bright future for the awardees, adding, “In 2047, when we celebrate the centenary of our independence, these award winners will be enlightened citizens of the country. Such talented boys and girls will become the builders of a developed India, shaping its destiny through their talent and efforts.”

“May every child of this nation have a bright and prosperous future, for in their success lies the future of India,” she said.

Bihar: Meet Habiba Bukhari, Daughter Of An Imam And A Judicial Officer From Munger

Amazing Feats, Education, Education - Gold Medallists, Toppers, Merits, Achievers (wef. June 12th, 2023), Women/Girls(since May26-2021)

Munger, BIHAR :

Habiba Bukhari

Patna:

Habiba Bukhari from Munger received on November 28, 2023, one of the most joyous pieces of news in her life: she had been selected for the Bihar Judicial Service. She secured 30th rank in the general category. This remarkable achievement of hers not only marks a significant personal victory but also reflects the strength of her determination and resilience in the face of numerous challenges.

Habiba comes from a modest background. Her father, Ahmad Bukhari, is an imam (prayer leader) at the Gulzar Pokhar mosque in Munger, which is located about 200 kilometers east of Bihar’s capital of Patna. Her mother is a homemaker. Despite the simplicity of their lives, the family’s support for Habiba has been unwavering.

Ahmad shared a heartfelt moment with TwoCircles.net. Recalling the night of November 28 when his daughter first called him with the good news, he said, “I got a video call from Habiba who was crying. I asked her to calm down and tell me why she was crying. After controlling her emotions, she informed me that she had been selected for the Bihar Judicial Service. Such was her joy!”

A bright student from an early age, Habiba completed her BA LLB and LLM degrees from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). She also completed her schooling from there, though she began her academic journey at a Hindi-medium government school in Munger. During her high school years, she studied Urdu, Arabic, Political Science and English. Today, she is pursuing a Ph.D. from AMU.

When asked about her future plans, Habiba said she hopes to complete her Ph.D. while serving as a judicial officer. “If I am allowed, I would love to continue my Ph.D. and work as a judicial officer,” she said.

A hafiza (who memories Qur’an) of five chapters of the holy book and a woman who wears a headscarf, Habiba’s choice of career in the judiciary was driven by a strong sense of personal values. “For me, a safe workplace is the most important thing. I believe the judiciary offers the safest environment to work in. It provides both financial security and stability,” she explains. While acknowledging the alternative of litigation, she notes the additional struggles it entails, especially for someone without a strong background.

Her journey into law was inspired by the influence of her batchmates at AMU who were preparing for their BA LLB after high school. Habiba focused largely on self-study to prepare for the judicial services exam and complemented her efforts with coaching sessions offered by the varsity.

Habiba has a word of advice for future aspirants: “This is an age of cut-throat competition. One needs to work very hard. The seats are limited, but do not lose heart and keep trying.” She is set to begin her training for the judicial service in late February 2024.

Apart from her professional ambitions, Habiba has a deep love for reading, particularly novels. She recalls an intriguing moment from her interview for the judicial service, where, along with law-related questions, she was asked about temples and mosques that do not allow women entry.

Throughout her academic journey, Habiba has been deeply grateful for the support of her family. “I received both financial and emotional support from my family throughout my studies and preparation. It made everything much easier for me,” she shared. Habiba’s younger sister, Arisha Bukhari, is pursuing a BA and her brothers are also in higher studies.

Habiba also reflected on the societal challenges her family faced due to her higher education. “In our society, girls are often married off early that affects their opportunities for higher education. But my family never stopped me from pursuing my studies,” she said. She quoted the word ‘Iqra’ from the Qur’an to emphasize the importance of education in Islam.

Habiba with her family

She added, “Our society should not discriminate between boys and girls, especially when it comes to education. Girls should also be educated while following Islam.”

Her father, Ahmad, strongly supports the cause of girls’ education. “Parents want their children to be successful, and if they work hard, they will succeed. It is wrong to marry off girls after giving them only basic education. If they want to study more, they must be allowed to do so.”

He fondly recalls Habiba’s childhood. “She was always curious. Even as a child, she would read from torn newspaper pieces. After she passed her twelfth grade, we were considering her marriage. But my sister in Patna persuaded us to let Habiba continue her studies. We could see her potential. Though an Imam’s salary isn’t much, we managed to support her education,” he said.

Habiba is one of only ten Muslim candidates who passed the Bihar Judicial Service exam this year, out of 153 total candidates. Among other successful candidates from her community are Farha Nishat, cousin of activist Sharjeel Imam, who was also selected for the same post. Other Muslim women who succeeded in this year’s exam include Tazeen Binte Waheed, who secured the 20th rank, and Saniya Akhtar, who secured 48th place in the general category. In the reserved categories, Sarah Imam secured 6th rank under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), while Zeba Manzoor topped the Extremely Backward Classes (EBC) category.

Habiba’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, family support and the transformative power of education. Her journey inspires all, especially young women, to pursue their dreams — no matter the obstacles.

NEW DELHI :

New Delhi:

Insha Jalil Waziri has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Jawad Memorial Prize for her English translation of Ali Sardar Jafri’s Urdu poem Mera Safar, reports The Print.

Waziri, a journalist working with The Print, selected Jafri’s iconic work as it resonated deeply with this year’s theme of “resurgence”. The poem, which revolves around the recurring theme of “main phir aaunga, main phir bolunga” (I’ll come back, I’ll speak again), captures a spirit of eternal hope and renewal even in the face of death and endings.

“This poem is profoundly relevant in the dystopian times we live in. Its message of optimism and revival reminded me of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass,” Waziri shared.

Ali Sardar Jafri, celebrated as a poet, lyricist, and critic, crafted Mera Safar with themes of resilience and transformation, offering an enduring message of hope that continues to inspire. Waziri’s translation skilfully preserves the essence of his words, bringing their timeless relevance to a broader audience.

The Jawad Memorial Prize recognises outstanding contributions in Urdu-to-English translation, honouring works that bridge cultures and languages.
