Mahesh Navhal : Mission Jaldhara


World is witnessing a phenomenal growth in the market capitalisation of India.  It was all possible because of the high enterprising skills that our Indian businessmen possess. In just one decade India has groomed more Million Dollar businessmen than what we have seen in sixty long years since India’s independence from the British raj.

Many of our corporate houses apart from doing business have undertaken corporate social responsibility. Likewise across the country there are numerous small and medium term businessmen who are engaged themselves on serving the society on their individual capacity, but their contribution is never heard of.  The big Corporates in india are  beating their own drums  by canvassing in the media for the social activities that they are doing, whereas whatever the activities carried by the individuals never talked about. 

Mahesh Navhal of Bhilwara, Rajasthan during one of his business trip to the mining area located in Rajasthan  was startled as the patch of greenery which was there on the catchment area of Kothari river has vanished over the years. Now the river flows hardly for 7 to 8 days in a year instead of 7 to 8 months as it was flowing in the past. And this is the reason of quick disappearance of greenery. He toured and surveyed the entire course of  Kothari River which passes through Raipur, Mandal and Bhilwara Tehsil. This river originated in Diver in Rajsamand District and is a lifeline for two districts, 10 Tehsils, 101 Panchyats and 441 villages. It flows through its basin for 145 kms and merges in the Banas River near Nandrai.

Mahesh Navhal got restless and decided to take immediate steps to rejuvenate the river. At individual level he campaigned at 31 secondary schools of Raipur Tehsil in which over 5,000 students actively participated.  Children of these schools were taught  it  is their village and hence is the ought most responsibility to make their surrounding green. Each student was given a sapling to plant it and to take care of that just one plant for rest of their life. The success of this mission encouraged Mahesh Navhal to lay the foundation of Jaldhara Vikas Sansthan.


This Sansthan conducted meetings at Tiker and Diver  villages of Rajasamand District of Rajasthan during 2013-14. Workshops were conducted to educate Pradhans, Sarpanchs and Panchs of different villages. As many as 10,400 villagers participated to adopt trees. As the mission was making progress it increased the enthusiasm of the members of Jaladhara Vikas Sansthan in leaps and bounds. In 2013-14 the villagers adopted 10,400 units of saplings of different varieties. On the subsequent year 2014-15 they planted 12,600 trees. And during 2015-16 they planted as many as 16,300 trees of different varieties.


In the year 2017 this Sansthan organized the first ever Bird Festival at Chhavandiya Village under the supervision of District administration. The success of this festival placed Chhavandiya on the world bird tourism map.

The Jaldhara Vikas Snasthan has been conferred with many awards for the mission it has undertaken. In the year 2015 it got  District Level Award on the Republic Day Celebrations of India. On the other hand it has been felicitated with the coveted award of  “Van Prasarak Puruskar” by the Rajasthan Forest Department. It followed by Amrita Devi Vishnoi Award.  Mahesh Navhal is a member of District Environment Committee. He is the Register Development Committee of Government Girls College, Bhilwara. This apart he is a trainer of Panchayati Raj Institutions.


Renowned industrial groups like B.D. Suitings, RCM Chhabra group and Sangam group have supported  this movement.

River Rejuvenation is possible only through the movement of tree plantation and afforestation. Lakhs of trees have to be planted in the catchment area of river. Growing trees, inspiring people to grow trees and and to care the nature is a long and continuous proces. Environment awareness has to be made permanent through continuous awakening of people.

Despite its limited economic resources Jaldhara Sansthan is marching ahead with the resources generated by people who are engaged themselves in this movement.

Pallavi Hota : The silver lining of Oriya television industry


Many of those who were either born on this soil of Barpali or reared by its water have been endowed by Ma Samlei to excel in the creative spheres of life. This soil not only produced some of the best ikat weavers of the world, but likewise reared many poets, writers and even artists since time immemorial. But off late in television broadcast industry as well our new genres of youngsters are making their remarkable presence felt to the viewers across the state.


As on this date Pallavi Hota is the silver lining of Oriya television industry. She hosts “Feedin” the most popular news bulletin in the regional language of Sambalpuri which is being produced and telecasted by Otv. She is a youth icon of Sambalpur region.



Pallavi was born at Ghunsar of Saintala block in Balangir district of Odisha. In the school she was a good performer in studies. That apart she was active in school sports. But she says as a tomboy she went on to do all the pranks which any village children do like plucking the sour mangoes from the trees during the summer noon while elders would be taking rest. Since childhood she was reared by her maternal grandfather and uncle Nabin Kumar Bedbak. She has been bestowed with the highest order of Sambalpuri culture, values and ethos. This pretty girl  got antecedent to Barpali as she attended Barpali Girls High School for two years and passed 10th in the year 2007. On passing out from Indian Institution of Mass Communication(IIMC) at Dhenkanal she was recruited by Otv in a campus interview. 


She is the news anchor of Feedin which is a popular news bulletin aired by OTV. It is telecasted seven days a week day at 5.30PM. Most of people across western Odisha after doing their rigorous chore during the day hours eagerly wait to watch this news bulletin at evening.

[While being fellicitated by Juhar Parivar, Bangalore during Nuakhai Bhetghat'16 at Bangalore]

Unfathomably this girl stands for culture, language, art and festivities of Western Odisha. Lot many social organistions which promote Western Odisha have invited and felicitated her until now. Be it Juhar Paribar of Bangalore or Nuakhai Bhetghat of Hyderabad. She is very particular to wear Sambalpuri ikat sari let where so ever she appears in public life, be it in the news room of the TV station or be it any social functions that she attends.


Until joining Otv she was under the impression that broadcast media is an alluring job. It brings lot of name and fame. But at the end of each day she is loaded with fatigue. Each evening on returning home she relieves herself while playing with her kittens.

Byangakabi Durga Panda


Literature be it in the form of prose or poetry is something that brings tranquillity among people in a society. It reverberate the whims of the people and exhilarate their lives. But let how higher the standards of writing of a poet, it yield no result unless conveyed in a language that is understood by the targeted audience. In the modern days here in Odisha lives a poet who led his entire life strictly adhering to this ground rule. Fortunate are those who so ever heard him orating his Sambalpuri poetry on the podium.

In Sambalpuri language he says “ଜେନ ରକେଟଥୀ ଜେତକି ବାରୁଦ ଥିବା, ସେ ହେତକି ଉପର ଯିବା। ବେସ ନିଆ ଲେଛବାରଟା ଦେରି ଆଏ”. It literally means, depending upon its captive fuel capacity a rocket would go to that altitude, all one has to do is just ignite the fuel.

Durga Panda hails from Himgir of Sundergarh District of Odisha. In the  year 1976 he joined Odisha Forest Department as a Junior clerk at a handsome monthly salary of Rs.255/-. In his view it was handsome as forty years back he was living hand to mouth without any lavish expenses. Early in life he was inclined towards Oriya poetry. During the day hours he use to work in the lousy environment of a government office, but by night his mind and soul use to migrate to the whimsical world of Oriya poetry.

Fortunately he shifted his career to where his personal interest lay. He joined All India Radio at Sambalpur as a lyricist. He composed the very first song

“​​​ଆଜି ମୁଁ ଗାଉଛି ଵହୁ ଦିନ ପରେ ତୁମରି ସୃତିରେ ତୁମରି ଗିତ 
ଲେଖିଥିଲ ଯାହା ଅନେକ ଆଗରୁ ଅଜାଣତେ ଆଜି  ହେବାରୁ ସତ”.


With a hesitation he says he got the first royalty of Rs.5/-(less than 10 US Cents as on this date). But after three months he got a cheque of Rs.150/-(Two US $). Afterward he started composing Oriya lyrics for Door Darshan, Bhubaneswar. He has been paid Rs.750/- for three songs. In fact while composing lyrics he never looked if any money to be earned  out of this vocation.  He  strictly  believe ​“ଗିତ୍ ଗାଏବାରଟା ଗୁଟେ ପେସା ନୁହେଁ, ପରନ୍ତୁ ଗୁଟେ ନିଶା ଆଏ”. One or the other way the efforts one puts in his life ought to be paid off. In the year 1996 he got National Award from the hands of the then Forest Minister of India Mr.Kamal Nath at Vigyan Bhawan.


Apart from being a lyricist he made his presence felt in the Ollywood also a wellknown music composer.

It is worth acknowledgement he is the sole composer of one and the only Sambalpuri song that has ever been sang by the Bollywood living legend singer Asha Bhonsle for the film "Chini".

ଉଆଁସର୍ ଅନ୍ଧାରେ ନାଇଁ ଦିଶେ ସିନା ହଜି ନାଇଁ ଯାଏ ଜନ୍, ଘିନି ନାଇଁ ହୁଏ,ବିକି ନାଇଁ ହୁଏ, ଦେଇ ହେସି ଖାଲି ମନ୍..

Seshadev Kisan: A giant leap from Balasingha(Odisha) to Germany


Whensoever there rains it is the same droplets of water which falls from the sky either in the clean water of a pond and on the other hand it falls in the dirty sewerage. Likewise everyone is not fortunate enough to be born as Akash the son of India’s richest businessman Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani who globally ranks as the 19th richest man by Forbes magazine. But of what use the wealth that Mukesh Ambani has accumulated over the life time when he failed to do the right upbringing of his offspring. His son Akash Ambani under the influence of alcohol rampantly drove their Aston Martin and allegedly killed two poor persons while they were  sleeping on the pavement of a street in Mumbai.



On the other hand unfortunate was Seshadev Kisan to be born to a poor peasant family of Balasingha village of Sambalpur district, Odisha. When Sesha was barely a baby of one year old his mother passed away due to chronic illness. The neighbours and family members suggested his father to get remarry so as the step mother could be able to take care of Sesha. But his father denied to such proposal as he did not wanted his son to be a victim of ill-treatment which mostly any stepchild gets. He played the duel role of father and a mother.

When Sesha was a baby since there were no other elders at home his father use to take Sesha along with him to farming or grazing cows in the meadows. As Sesha grow up he learnt how to cook rice, and to do all other chores of home be it the dusting or sweeping the floor at home or washing the dirty clothes or utensils.



Sesha did not had the privilege to attend the play school called Anganwadi. But when he turned six years old Sesha went to attend the government run primary school not to acquire knowledge, but the only motive was to get the free mid day meal of rice and daal which is provided free of cost to the school children. In the school the only bone of contention for  Sesha was his ignorance of Oriya language as he is a Schedule Tribe and their spoken language is Kisan. The boy unable to catch-up with the course curriculum that was taught in the school. Because of it he has been beaten up many times in the classes. But Sesha was a boy of strong determination, he started learning the Oriya language. While his father used to go for firming, Sesha used to cook food and takes that food in a bowl called Khuri to the farmland. Despite  facing several constraints Sesha keep on attending primery school and came up with flying colors. He had been five time school topper in Balasingha Sevasrama School. Sesha was awarded with Best Student Award in 2005 by “Kisinda Womens Regional Union”. That year itself he got selected in Navodaya entrance exam. He was the only student from entire Naktideul block to take admission at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Sambalpur. He attended the school for 7 yrs from Class Six to Class 12th free of cost.
 

In 2006, his father had a vein blockage, as a consequence he was physically weak and unable to work. From then onward Sesha didn’t ask any money to his father for attending school or to buy study books or pens. During school vacations whenever Sesha was returning home he use to go along with his friends to   do labour work as there was no other option  to earn money.  Sesha was giving that little of his hard earned money to his father so as he can manage his expanses. He continued his study and passed CBSE 10th board exam in 2010 by securing a phenomenal 92% and choose Science stream. 


In 2010-11 while he was pursuing 11th Standard at Navodaya School he was suppose to refer the guide books for preparing for entrance exams. But Sesha did not had the money to buy such expensive books some of whom were priced at Rs.1,500/-. So this boy use to borrow the guide books from his friends and to read them in the night hours. But there is strict discipline to be observed by the students of Novodaya hostellers. By 10.00PM in the night tube light of every hostel room suppose to be switched off. Twice the watchman came and shouted at Sesha to switch off the light and catch the sleep. So the only alternative that Sesha was left with was to buy candles and to read the guide books in the low luminosity till late night in his hostel room and return the guide books at morning.  



In 2012, while he was pursuing 12th Standard one of his teacher of Navoday deposited his National Entrance Screening Test (NEST) exam fee of Rs.500/- as Sesha had no money to appear the exam. And Sesha able to  crack the exam. But on the other hand he had a doom days to face. His father who was struggling with illness  for months altogether succumbed to death. Sesha became an orphan. Because of the given circumstances of his life he could not attend the counselling for admission at NISER.

It was the darkest part of his life. Under given circumstances most of the youngsters opt to suicide.  But this Adivasi(Schedule Tribe) boy was made of a different genre. Instead of worrying about the future and looking at the long distance that he had to travel all alone in life, this boy just looked at each single day to survive.

(Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik while felicitating  Seshadev Kisan)
[Fellicitation by Dharmendra Pradhan Cabinet Minister of  Petroleum & Natural Gas and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship]

Sesha enrolled for a year at Regional Institute of  Education, Bhubanswar and altogether bounce back in life. And as a miracle cracked the NEST exam for the second time. Finally he got admission in National Institute of Science, Education and Research (NISER). It’s an autonomous Institute runs under Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. During 2013, while he was studying at NISER, people started asking to return back the money that he had borrowed for his father’s treatment. To generate money he gave private tuitions to school children at evening hours. That apart he cut off his expenses by cooking food in his hostel room, instead of partaking in the canteen. He able to return back the borrowed money. But teachers did not know that he is such a brilliant boy. After joining the Organo Metallic Catalysis Lab, within a short span of time he submitted few of his research papers to  an American journal by the name ACS Catalysis which they did publish. Then he thought of doing research in his chosen subject. On applying to a couple Universities of Europe online he qualified to take admission at The George August University Of Gottingen, Germany. Sesha will join as a Research Associate by getting a monthly stipend of 2,158 Euros which would be nearly Two Lack of Rupees per month.

Adorjan illes : Circumnavigating the World in a bicycle


Every morning birds leave their nests to gather the grains, but each of them returns to their nest before the sunset. Whereas we the human beings bestowed with the wisdom that makes us travel an extra mile as compare to any other creatures on this earth. In the past two thousand years the world has witnessed many great expeditions. In the year 326 BC Alexander the Great travelled all the way from Greece to the Far East Asia to conquer India. Likewise in the middle ages (1024AD) Mahmud of Ghazni, Afghanisthan invaded India to loot the treasures of Somnath temple of Gujrat. But it was a Portuguese by the name Magellan who was the first person to circumnavigate our planet earth in the year 1480. The basic objective of human beings to explore the world is to amass wealth and treasures. Yet there are exceptions to this age old human tendency. Thirty six years old Adorjan illes of Hungary all set to explore the world in his bicycle not in search of treasures, but to win over the challenges. He set to conquer the world without carrying any arms or ammunitions. Adorjan wanted to win over the physical limits that our human body is biologically programmed with.

Adorjan was born at Tata city in Hungary. By profession he is an IT network engineer and was working with a telecom company in Hungary for over seven years. He was leading a decent life and made enough savings. One of his friend by the name Szabo Adam who has made a Eurotrip of 10,000kms in a bicycle inspired him to undertake the world trip instead. Adorjan took a break from his lucrative job at an age when any other young man would tend to earn money so as to settle in life by getting married to a pretty woman. He wanted to get rid of the conventional 10.00AM to 5.00PM weekdays job. His parents objected to his plans. They feared their son might be killed either on the way in a road accident or might be kidnapped by the extremists in the religious sensitive zones of Middle East. Otherwise he might be eaten alive by the beasts in the remote forests of Africa. Adorjan liquidated the little assets that he was possessing. Apart from the furniture and unused wardrobes, he sold one of his price possessions i.e. a piano. He is fond of music and used to play it once a while to tranquilize his mind.

On 13th June 2015 he came out of the comfort zone 
of his life. He along with his friend Szabo Adam set to travel the world in their bicycles. While riding his KTM Life Lontano bicycle that has got a steel frame with a gearbox both friends headed for Serbia. The question is how he supported himself for these long one thousand days when he is not earning any money while travelling the world. 

Adorjan started his journey with 10,000 US $. As such there is no cost of fuel as he is pulling the cycle manually. At night hours he digs the tent at the remote places to sleep. The only expenses that is involved is buying food on the way. He set the limit of just 5$ to 6$ a day(roughly INR450). He says how strange we the human beings are. We may not be compatible with our siblings at home or the neighbour living next door or the colleagues with whom we are working at office, but while travelling he has been received warmly by the strangers across the globe. At many places especially villages and small settlements people offered him fresh food to eat and even shelter to rest for a night. 

One of the most difficult situation that he encountered was in the Pamir mountains of Tajikistan. He had to pump his adrenalin at an altitude of 3000 to 4000 meter above the sea level. During the day hour the temperature was -2 degrees to -4 degrees Celsius. Whereas at night it drops further to -10 degree Celsius. It took him as much as three weeks to pass through this dangerous terrain.


Through the ancient silk route at Wagha Border of Punjab they entered India. They virtually encountered no difficulty in the immigration counter. The officials were warm and kind to process their documents. Adorjan found Punjab to be a vibrant and colourful region. People were warm and attentive. From Amritsar he went to New Delhi. While at Delhi he spent one night sleeping in a Gurudwara. By the morning he awake his shoes were stolen. With this event he was disheartened for the high opinion that he had about India. When he informed the temple authority the local Sikh community raised money in solidarity to buy a pair of shoes for him. From new Delhi they headed south wards.

On 14th February 2016 while they were riding their cycles in Odisha on the state highway

ycles in l near Tingipali of Bargarh district two young men of Barpali by the name Subanta Dash and Ritesh Dash intercepted them. They took the duo and introduced with Nandlal Sahu of Puspak Hotel. Nandlal Sahu called the former MLA of Bijepur Constituency Late Subal Sahu and arranged their stay for a night at Inspection Bunglow (IB) as a state guest. At night Nandlal Sahu even sent complementary dinner to these two foreign guests. He is a vegetarian and enjoyed the Indian food very much. They had a peaceful rest for the night. Next day morning after interacting with people at Barpali they headed towards Chatisgarh.

While travelling through the un-tracked paths they found India absolutely vibrant and culturally rich. When he was cycling through the rain forests of Athirappilly water falls in Kerala there was a big gap between two settlements. He had to pedal another ten kilometers in order to reach the next village and to be safe in the night. He was pumping his adrenaline with absolutely full power. It was a hilly terrain and he pedaled while standing. He yelled “YES ! Oh yes, I can do this and gonna do it”.  And suddenly out of the blue a vehicle surpassed through him. But it halted 100 meter ahead of him. The driver got out of the car and waved him to stop. When Adorjan stopped, with wide eyes open the stranger said “In life I never seen such a Super Human like you”. And that gentleman gave him pineapple slices to eat.


Every second while he breaths he keep on interacting
with each cell, tissue and organ of his body. He believes his body is a biochemical supercomputer and always listening attentively to his mind and soul. Adorjan is capable to undertake the challenges much more than what any other human being could imagine. While cycling, he usually thinks his  body is made of the elements of air, water and light. And his life flows through it. In india he learned Yoga. He practised deep breathing sequences. He started doing Surya Namaskar (salutation of Sun) every morning as well. He realised the nurturing effects of Sun to his body and the soul. 

From India they went to Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia. At Kuala Lumpur Adorjan decided to travel alone so as to have a greater freedom. Both friends parted. From Indonesia he wanted to reach further south i.e. Australia which itself is a continent surrounded by South Pacific Ocean. Let how aplomb he is physically, but his cycle won’t be able to float in the ocean. He did the arithmetic and found ship is expensive and time consuming to reach the other shore. So he caught a flight and landed at  Perth which is on the west coast of Australia. 

From Perth he cycled to Melbourne. It was in Australia where he faced life threatening circumstances. He had to pass through Nullabour Plain. It’s a 1200 km long deserted area with no trees to take shelter. It took him long twenty days to cycle across this topography. The wind blew hard at the rate of 60kms per hour. It was virtually difficult for him to find a suitable place in that dessert where he could pitch his tent. From Melbourne he caught a train for Sydney. Over there he has undergone Vipasana retreat the ancient meditation system of India. From Sydney he caught a flight for Christchurch in New Zealand. And from New Zealand he went to Fiji. 

By the time Adorjan reached the shores of Japan in a ship his money was exhausted. He printed large size photos of the places and people of Europe and Asia that he clicked with his DSLR camera. He started selling the photos on the streets in the Japanese cities. It helped him to manage his expenses as Japan is an expensive country to live. He found Japan to be a super cool and clean country and its people are warm and magical. 

In Japan while riding his cycle it skidded and he fell on the ground. He went to a hospital. After undergoing a MRI scan the doctors said his hand needs a surgery. They wanted to drill the pieces of the bones and graft the bone together with a screw. But instead of undergoing through the painful surgery Adorjan resorted to his conscience. This fellow intensely meditated for two long months to appease the Universe to heal his arm. After two months this stubborn and stoic fellow went back to the same hospital. When the MRI was done the doctors were stunned to check the reports. The doctors were puzzled how could such broken bones could be grafted without ever drilling. There was no evidence of any bone rupture left in his hand.

From Japan he took a flight to United States of America. He found America to be a magical land. It’s a vast country. Unlike Asians its people are not cunning. Americans think big so they do everything big. After travelling alone for one year he got united with his friend again at California.   

Until now he is cycling for 1,400+ days. In these four and half years’ time he ride his cycle for almost 37,000+ kms. In quantitative terms this length would be  92 percent of the circumference of our planet earth. He has travelled as many as 25 countries. They are Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Islands, USA and now travelling in Mexico. 

He got a huge surprise when his host Teotihuacan presented   ancient Aztec spiritual dance. This tribal music and dance of Ajtec lifted the spirit of Adorjan. He experienced the  sense of belonging with nature.

[Ajtek dance Mexico]


On circumnavigating near about 100 percent of our planet earth he has discovered in different continents, countries and regions people are wearing different wardrobes, we are speaking different languages, eating different foods, where as the aim of life is to be happy and contended with whatever we are. Often he found happiness in the faces of children instead of the adults or the old age, because their needs and desires are insignificant.

He successfully completed the expedition in the summer of 2019 after 1,473 days on the road, cycling around 46,000 kms through 39 countries.
