Three-time Grammy Award winner and Padma Shri recipient Ricky Kej will receive the Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award in Udaipur on November 15, 2026. The honour comes from Srajan The Spark - a movement of music lovers dedicated to preserving Indias musical heritage. Headquartered in Udaipur, with 16 chapters in India and abroad, the movement was founded and is helmed by Prasanna K. Khamesra, a retired IPS officer. Kej will mark the occasion with The Earth Symphony, a free concert for environmental awareness that is expected to draw close to 10,000 people. It will be his first-ever public concert in Udaipur, and a homecoming for a musician whose father hails from Rajasthan. The evening will include songs on Rajasthan and his versions of folk songs from across India. With this award, Kej steps into a roll of honour that reads like a history of Indian music itself. Past recipients of Srajans Lifetime Achievement honour include Padmavibhushan Dr L Subramaniam, Padmabhushan Vishwamohan Bhatt, A Sivamani, Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Usha Mangeshkar, Anup Jalota, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sudesh Bhosle, the duo Anand-Milind, Anandji of Kalyan ji-Anandji, lyricist Yogesh, Sameer Anjan, poet and actor Shailesh Lodha among many others. It's absolutely amazing to be in that company, shared Kej. I am thrilled as this is an award from India, my country. And not only that, its an award in particular from Rajasthan, where my father hails from. Ricky Kej has brought great recognition to India and Rajasthan, not only through his music but through his extraordinary work for environmental conservation across the globe, said Khamesra. Srajan originated in Udaipur, and Ricky also has his roots in our state. We are immensely proud to honour him. Interestingly, Srajan was born in 2013 in Udaipur over a cup of tea, when Khamesra, a music lover since childhood, and some of his friends set out to bring Indias fading music, poetry and shayari back to the people. Khamesra has always believed that his professional responsibilities and personal passion could coexist, and through his years in the police, neither ever stood in the way of the other. What makes it rare is that it is entirely self-funded. Close to 1,500 industrialists and dignitaries who are proud members of Srajan the Spark contribute from their own pockets, purely for the love of Indian music. From Udaipur, it has grown to Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, Delhi NCR, Kota, Hyderabad, Asansol, Chennai, Canada and London, etc. The stage it has built is a treasure. Artists such as Anup Jalota, Pankaj Udhas, Suresh Wadekar, Usha Uthup, Nitin Mukesh and many others have performed at Srajan, as have poets such as Rahat Indori, Wasim Barelvi and Nida Fazli, etc. It also seeks out unsung artists and gives young talent a stage alongside the masters. The movement is now working towards establishing Srajan Music Schools across India, along with a Music Museum and Academy in Udaipur, where work is already underway. Kej shares that same commitment to Indias musical roots. No matter how hard I try to make a completely western piece of music, there will always be a soul of India within that music, said Kej. And, that soul is exactly what brings him and Srajan together. Kej has made it his mission over the next five to six years to document as many of Indias tribal songs and musicians as he can, building a permanent archive of musical forms passed down orally for thousands of years and now vanishing. Those songs, he said, carry indigenous knowledge about coexisting with nature and our place as human beings in the world. Art is all about breaking the rules, but you have to know the rules first in order to break them, he said. That's why its very important that these traditional forms of music are preserved. All other contemporary forms come from them. And in this regard, Srajan the Spark is doing fantastic work in keeping Indias classical and folk traditions alive. Ricky Kej will receive Hindustan Zinc-Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award on November 15 at DPS School, Udaipur, to be presented by Srajan - The Spark & Bijay Kumar Surana Foundation in collaboration with Hindustan Zinc Limited.

CM Saha to inaugurate three-day Diwali festival at 525-year-old Tripura Sundari temple tomorrow
Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 7 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha will inaugurate a three-day Diwali festival at the historic 525-year-old Maa Tripura Sundari Temple in Gomati district on Sunday, officials said on Saturday. The famous temple, located at Udaipur and regarded as one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, was built in 1501 by Maharaja Dhanya Manikya. Local MLA Abhishek Debroy and Gomati District Magistrate Rinku Lather said all arrangements for the annual festival had been completed. A Bhajan Sandhya and a drone show are among the major attractions scheduled for the inaugural day. Meanwhile, elaborate security arrangements have been put in place to manage the expected rush of devotees and visitors. Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Manchak Ipper and Anirban Das inspected the fairground and reviewed police deployment, traffic management, crowd control and emergency response measures. The district police chief monitoring the security aspects on a round-the-clock basis. As part of the security measures, the district administration has imposed a no-fly zone within a five-km radius of the temple from November 8 to 10. The restriction prohibits the operation of drones, manned and unmanned aircraft, and other aerial objects during the festival. However, aerial devices specifically authorised for use at the Diwali Mela have been exempted from the order. Meanwhile, fulfilling a long-awaited public demand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 22 last year inaugurated the redeveloped Mata Tripura Sundari temple and offered prayers at the Kali temple. A senior official of the Tourism Department said that under the PRASHAD (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Heritage Augmentation Drive) scheme of the Union Tourism Ministry, the 525-year-old Tripura Sundari temple has been redeveloped at a cost of more than Rs 54 crore. The Central government provided Rs 34.43 crore, while the Tripura government contributed Rs 17.61 crore towards the project. The temple, built in 1501 by the state's erstwhile king Maharaja Dhanya Manikya in Udaipur, is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas in the country and the third such shrine in eastern India after the Kali temple in Kolkata's Kalighat and the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati. After 517 years of monarchy, on October 15, 1949, the erstwhile princely state of Tripura merged with the Indian Union following an agreement signed between Kanchan Prabha Devi, the then regent Maharani, and the Governor-General of India.

IAS Shikhar Agrawal case: Rajasthan CM reaffirms zero-tolerance policy on corruption
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 2 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has reiterated the state government's zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, emphasising transparency, accountability and strict financial discipline in government schemes and investment promotion. Following the Chief Minister's intervention, the State-Level Scrutiny Committee of the Industries and Commerce Department has put on hold the customised package approved for M/s Goyal Fashions Private Limited under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS). The company will not receive any benefits or concessions until the preliminary ACB investigation is concluded. The Commissioner of Industries and Commerce has issued the necessary orders. The decision assumes significance in light of the allegations involving senior IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal, former Additional Chief Secretary of the Industries Department, and Goyal Fashions Private Limited, which operates resorts under the Ananta brand. The Rajasthan government has approved a detailed ACB investigation into allegations that Agrawal misused his official position to extend undue benefits to the company in return for personal and family-related benefits. The allegations include preferential concessions, relaxations in resort construction norms and approvals without proper verification of mandatory certificates. The ACB is also examining property transactions involving Agrawal and his family members. Preliminary findings reportedly point to the purchase of multiple villas and cottages at Ananta resorts in Udaipur and Alwar at prices allegedly below market value. Investigators are examining the financial transactions, timing of registrations and possible links with government concessions. The government has granted approval for further investigation under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's government has made it clear that industrial development and investment promotion cannot come at the cost of transparency and integrity. The decision to withhold Goyal Fashions' benefits pending investigation underscores its commitment to protecting public resources and ensuring that government incentives are granted strictly in accordance with the rules.

Let CBI and ED probe into Raj Addl Chief Secy case, says Ashok Gehlot
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 30 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) into the controversy involving senior IAS officer and Additional Chief Secretary Shikhar Agarwal. He said merely placing the officer on Awaiting Posting Orders (APO) status was not sufficient and called the controversy the biggest scandal to emerge during Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's nearly three-year tenure. Gehlot also questioned the Chief Minister's role, alleging that the controversy involved decisions taken at the highest levels of the government and the Chief Minister's Office (CMO). Commenting on reports that 40 villas had been acquired at once, the former Chief Minister said the revelations were shocking. Making a reference to Agarwal's surname, Gehlot remarked that the officer had indeed reached the 'shikhar' (pinnacle) of such activities. The Chief Minister must take responsibility and come forward to answer the allegations being raised against him and the CMO. Simply placing an officer on APO status will not be enough. The matter should be handed over to the CBI and ED. Only an investigation by these agencies can establish the truth, he said. He also alleged that decisions had been taken with complete disregard for established norms and claimed that the controversy could be indicative of wider irregularities within the administration. Gehlot alleged that a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sharma had granted concessions to the company associated with the villas allegedly provided to Shikhar Agarwal. He questioned the decisions taken when Agarwal served as the Chief Minister's Additional Chief Secretary and later as Chairman of the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board. According to Gehlot, these decisions raised serious questions about transparency and accountability in the administration. He alleged that the state government needed to explain the circumstances under which the concessions were granted. Gehlot also raised questions about the posting of an Inspector General-rank officer, who was earlier associated with the Chief Minister's Office, as Inspector General of Police in Udaipur. Referring to reports of an alleged physical altercation involving the officer Shikhar Agarwal, the Chief Minister and members of the Chief Minister's family a few months back, Gehlot claimed that a serious incident had taken place in the Chief Minister's presence. He referred to allegations that a slap had also been exchanged during the altercation. Gehlot questioned why the officer was subsequently given what he described as a prime posting in Udaipur. If the intention had been to punish him, he would not have been given such an important posting. Perhaps the posting was meant to ensure his silence so that he would not speak about the incident, he alleged. He also described the Udaipur Development Authority as a major centre of alleged corruption, claiming that the situation had developed during Shikhar Agarwal's tenure as Udaipur Collector. He alleged that networks of intermediaries were operating across the region and that the Anti-Corruption Bureau was being evaded. Gehlot also targeted Chief Minister Sharma over allegations involving his relative, Pramod Sharma, who he claimed was listed as an absconder in police records but continued to move around freely in Jaipur. Recalling his first meeting with CM Bhajan Lal Sharma after the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Rajasthan, Gehlot said he had advised the new Chief Minister to use the opportunity given to him by the people to serve everyone and maintain an administration free from corruption. He said he had specifically advised CM Sharma to keep relatives away from government affairs and ensure that no questions were raised about corruption under his leadership. It would have been better had he followed that advice. Instead, the names of his relatives continue to surface. Pramod Sharma is listed as absconding in police records, yet he is reportedly moving around freely in Jaipur, Gehlot alleged. He also claimed that Pramod Sharma had been arrested in Bharatpur during his tenure as the Chief Minister and questioned how the case against him was subsequently closed around the time Bhajan Lal Sharma was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. This is the same Pramod Sharma who was arrested in Bharatpur during my tenure. The case against him was closed even before the new Chief Minister formally took charge. We chose not to comment at the time, expecting that the new Chief Minister would examine the matter himself, Gehlot said. He questioned whether the case had been closed because of his own position or influence and alleged that fresh controversies were now emerging instead of the earlier matter being reopened.
