Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Manish Pandey Guides Gulbarga Mystics To Thrilling Victory
Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Tournament: Experienced batter Manish Pandey rolled back the years with a composed unbeaten 43 as Gulbarga Mystics registered a thrilling three-wicket victory over Mysuru Warriors in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Tournament in Hubbali on Saturday. Chasing a modest target of 156, the Mystics appeared to be cruising at 66 for one before a dramatic collapse triggered by Ritesh Bhatkal, reduced them to 77 for four. Pandey then anchored the chase with his trademark calmness, steering his side home with seven balls to spare. Batting at No. 6, Pandey remained unbeaten on 43 off 31 deliveries, striking five boundaries, as he held his nerve despite wickets falling around him. B R Sharath provided the early impetus with a brisk 49 off 27 balls, laced with four fours and three sixes. Bhatkal produced an inspired spell of 4 for 20 to drag the Warriors back into the contest. The experienced off-spinner first broke the opening stand by dismissing Lochan Gowda (18) before ripping through the middle order. He removed Prakhar Chaturvedi (4), Macneil Noronha (1), and Thippa Reddy (2) in a devastating burst to leave the Mystics in trouble. However, his efforts ultimately went unrewarded. Earlier, put in to bat, Mysuru Warriors once again failed to convert promising starts into a competitive total, finishing on 155 for seven. Openers LR Chethan (24 off 12 balls, three sixes) and S U Karthik (20) added 36 for the first wicket before the innings lost momentum. Vishal Onat fell cheaply as the Warriors reached 56 for two at the end of the Power-play. The innings was then rebuilt by K P Karthikeya, who struck a fighting 63 off 43 balls with two fours and four sixes. Arriving at the crease with the score at 50 for two, the 20-year-old carried the batting through the middle and latter stages, adding valuable runs with the lower order. Karthikeya was run out off the final ball of the innings after failing to beat a sharp throw from Pandey in the deep, capping a fine all-round contribution from the former India international. With their third win in five matches, Gulbarga Mystics moved up to second place on the points table with six points, leapfrogging Coastal Kings Mangaluru and trailing leaders Bengaluru Blasters by two points. Mysuru Warriors, meanwhile, slumped to their fourth defeat in five matches and remain rooted to the bottom of the standings with two points.

Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Rohan Patil Steers Bengaluru Blasters To 7-wkt Win Over Shivamogga Yodhas
Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Bengaluru Blasters scored a thrilling seven-wicket victory over Shivomogga Yodhas in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament on Thursday as the event moved its base from Mysuru to Huballi. Chasing a challenging 174, the Blasters cruised along comfortably before Praveen Dubey's 15-ball 39 (3x4, 3x5) and captain Shubhang Hedge (11 not out, 12 balls) stitched together a decisive 24-ball 60-run partnership for the unbroken fourth wicket to seal their fourth victory and consolidate their position at the top with eight points. Blasters opener Rohan Patil laid the foundation for a comfortable chase, slamming a 46-ball 62 (5x4, 2x6), adding 65 runs in 7.3 overs for the opening wicket with Bhuvan Mohan Raju (29, 23 balls, 3x4, 1x6). Patil was in an aggressive mood and punished anything bowled short or wide, and in the company of his vice-captain Krishnan Shrijith, added 54 runs off 40 balls for the third wicket after Raju departed. Patil did the bulk of the scoring, contributing 30 of those runs as Shrijith found timing the ball difficult. But once Patil fell at 119 in the 14th over, and Shrijith followed four runs later, the Yodhas found themselves back in the reckoning. However, Dubey and Hegde kept their cool, and with the target getting closer and closer, they played with composure and eventually saw their team home with an over to spare. For the Yodhas, Naveen MG, Yashovardhan Parantap, and Shreesha Achar claimed a wicket each. Earlier, Luvnith Sisodia (51, 32 balls, 6x4, 2x6) scored his third half-century and second in succession in the tournament to guide the Yodhas to 173 for six. K V Aneesh (29, 24 balls, 4 fours) and captain Smaran Ravichandran (36*, 27 balls, 3x4) were the other main contributors. Smaran still held the innings together with two key partnerships after the cheap dismissals of Harshil Dharmani (1) and Yashovardhan Parantap (0) off successive deliveries. First, a 16-ball 20 with Tushar Singh (17, 13 balls, 2x4, 1x6) and, more crucially, a 20-ball 33 for the unbroken seventh wicket partnership with Bheem Rao Navale (19, 12 balls, 2x4) boosted the total. The Yodhas clearly fell short by at least 20 runs despite the late burst, and that in the end proved decisive. For the Blasters, Rohan Raju claimed three wickets for 21 runs. With this third defeat from five matches, the Yodhas stay on four points and in fourth position.

India's Only SDG Lions Shortlist at Cannes 2026 Comes from a Grassroots Education Movement in Bihar
In a significant moment for India's social impact ecosystem, Mothers of Courage Shifting Societal Norms, One Conversation at a Time, a project documenting a grassroots movement for girls' education in Bihar through a powerful film, has earned India's only shortlist in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Lions category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2026. From the villages of Bihar to the global stage at Cannescelebrating the courage of mothers transforming girls' education The project, submitted by Bengaluru-based organisations Mantra Social Services and ShikshaLokam, both part of the broader Shikshagraha movement, stands alongside some of the world's most impactful campaigns driving measurable social change. The recognition places a community-led education initiative from rural Bihar on one of the world's most prestigious stages for creativity and impact. At the heart of the project is the Shiksha Chaupal, a community engagement model developed through years of grassroots work that brings together mothers, fathers, youth and local leaders to openly discuss the barriers preventing girls from completing their education. Through collective dialogue and public pledges, communities commit to ensuring girls remain in school and are protected from child marriage. To date, the initiative has facilitated more than 28,000 community gatherings across 14 districts in Bihar, mobilising over 800,000 citizens around girls' education and gender equality. The eight-minute documentary Mothers of Courage, directed by Vandana R and produced by Butterfly Effect Media, chronicles these conversations and the women leading change within their communities. " The women featured in this film are not activists in the conventional sense. They are mothers and mothers-in-law who chose to challenge deeply entrenched social norms some fighting for their daughters, others breaking convention to send their daughters-in-law back to school ," said Khushboo Awasthi, Co-founder of Mantra4Change and Chief Curator, Shikshagraha . " This recognition belongs to them and to the thousands of communities across Bihar that have demonstrated how collective action can create lasting change. To see that work acknowledged on a global platform like Cannes Lions is both humbling and encouraging ." The Sustainable Development Goals Lions category recognises work that advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through demonstrable social impact. The category is among the festival's most competitive, with a strong emphasis on measurable outcomes and real-world change. For director Vandana R , the power of the film lay in documenting an existing movement rather than creating a narrative around it. " Everything audiences see in Mothers of Courage emerged from real conversations taking place in villages across Bihar ," she said. " Our role was simply to listen, observe and document. The courage and conviction came from the women themselves ." The shortlist adds to a growing list of recognitions for the project, including the Best Inspirational Film award at the Los Angeles Film Awards 2026 and a Silver at the ABBY Awards 2026 in the Sustainable Development Goals category. For Shikshagraha, the recognition highlights the growing visibility of community-led approaches to public education reform and gender equality. Championed by S.D. Shibulal (Co-founder and Former CEO of Infosys) and Bengaluru-based non-profits ShikshaLokam and Mantra4Change, Shikshagraha works with more than 30 partner organisations across 16 states to strengthen public education systems and improve outcomes for children in government schools. About Shikshagraha Shikshagraha is a people-powered movement to improve all 1 million public schools in India, so that every child experiences enriching learning and is ready for the future. Real change begins with the child at the centre their learning, confidence, well-being, and aspirations, and with those closest to the child. The movement enables parents, women and youth to demand and support quality education, and equips teachers, school leaders, and officials with tools for micro-improvements towards systemic change. Currently, 30+ civil society, industry and philanthropic partners in the Shikshagraha network are collectively strengthening 1,17,000+ schools across 35 districts across 16 states & UTs. This includes enabling education leaders to lead need-based school improvements and amplifying women, youth and community participation in the public education system. Shikshagraha works towards improving schools where the need is greatest, supports leadership on the ground, and shifts the norms that hold education back. Through visible practice change and collective action by communities, governments, civil society, and markets, it reimagines what public schools can and must deliver. shikshagraha.org/ for more details.
Bloom Avenue: A Year-Round Flower Corridor on Bengaluru's Major Arterial Road in Kempegowda Layout
UnboxingBLR joins the record-breaking plantation drive on June 27th announced by the state government. Spread across 8 kms and 6,000+ saplings, UBLRs drive focuses on avenue roads, round-abouts in the new Kempegowda Layout Thrust on native, colour-sequenced flowering species to ensure that some part of the corridor is always in bloom round the year The plantation drives two-pronged approach keeps both aesthetics and environment in mind while boosting Bengalurus green heritage UnboxingBLR joins forces with the Bangalore Development Authority's (BDA) plantation drive with its uniquely designed Bloom Avenue project on the Major Arterial Road connecting Mysuru Road and Magadi Road. UBLR planting the first sapling for Bloom Avenue on Major Arterial Road On June 27th, as part of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Jayanthi celebration, the Karnataka government announced a single-day plantation drive with over 50,000 volunteers planting 1.5 million saplings in Bengaluru - targeting a spot in the Guinness World Record. The city-focused not-for-profit UBLR participated in the initiative with its Bloom Avenue project. Along the major arterial Road in Kempegowda Layout and roundabouts, UBLR has begun planting 6000+ saplings across 8 kms. UBLRs plantation drive is at least partly inspired by the citys green historical legacy. Bengaluru's identity as India's Garden City was never accidental, it was cultivated. The city's most enduring botanical legacy traces to Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel, the landscape architect who shaped its parks and avenues in the early twentieth century. This received a major boost in the 1980s from the then Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) S. G. Neginhalwho played a significant role in expanding Bengaluru's urban tree cover and reinforcing its Garden City identity. Both Krumbiegel and Neginhal have given Bengaluru its defining character of tree-lined avenue roads and seasonal colour. That legacy has shaped how generations of residents relate to their city. Bloom Avenue is a conscious continuation of that tradition by restoring intentional, aesthetically considered greenery to a major urban corridor at a moment when the city's green cover faces sustained pressure from rapid growth and densification. Bloom Avenue concept visualised using AI UBLRs Avenue Bloom focuses on flowering species that are colour-sequenced and coordinated so that some part of the corridor is in bloom every month of the year. The initiative strikes a delicate balance between aesthetics and native species in its plantation drive. Bloom Avenue is a deliberate greening intervention on a Bengaluru arterial road in recent memory. Further, the green initiative is designed to attract birds and butterflies to the layout when the saplings mature and grow into trees. The Project Bloom is being executed in partnership with BDA, which also supplied the flowering saplings through its Forest Division. UBLR has funded and executed all ground-level operations, including pit digging and planting. UBLR will undertake all protective measures during the growth period and will be responsible for watering and maintenance of these plants for the first three years. The corridor is divided into eight one-kilometre sub-zones, each planted with a distinct colour pairing drawn from complementary species ensuring that at least one sub-zone is in full bloom at any point in the year. Species selection prioritises indigenous varieties deeply adapted to Bengaluru's climate; where naturalised non-native species are included, they carry strong cultural and botanical ties to the city's history. Phase 2 will extend planting to service roads alongside ongoing maintenance of Phase 1 saplings. The three-year maintenance commitment covers watering, monitoring, replacement of failed saplings, and upkeep to BDA standards. Long back, German botanist Krumbiegel made Bengaluru bloom all through the year. Decades later, the beauty of his work endures, enriching the citys natural heritage and enhancing Bengalurus aesthetic appeal. Taking inspiration, Project Bloom focuses on both native species and flowering aesthetics to boost Bengalurus natural heritage for future generations. What makes this project special is the coming together of citizens, institutions, and government around a shared vision for the city, Prashanth Prakash, Chairman, UnboxingBLR Foundation. We are very pleased to see Bloom Avenue move from concept to ground reality. The BDA has been glad to facilitate this, from providing the saplings and granting the necessary approvals, to supporting a model of civic collaboration that we hope will inspire many more such partnerships across the city. The Magadi RoadMysuru Road corridor will be greener and more beautiful for it, Major Manivannan P, Commissioner, Bangalore Development Authority. "Bloom Avenue is exactly the kind of initiative Bengaluru needs by being citizen-led, rigorously planned, and built for the long term. A green, blooming corridor along Magadi Road and Mysuru Road will benefit the residents and communities and serve as a model for how our arterial roads can be transformed. We are happy to have it as part of the plantation drive for Kempegowda Jayanthi celebration on June 27th," N. A. Haris, Chairman, Bangalore Development Authority. About UnboxingBLR Foundation UnboxingBLR (UBLR) is a Bengaluru-focused not-for-profit platform working with multiple stakeholders to envision and execute city-scale projects.
