On 4 April, at 7 PM, Vivekananda Global University (VGU), Jaipur, is hosting a special campus experience  that encompasses an evening of music, meditation and pure energy with Radhika Das. The session will provide students with a rest from the academic load and will help them to be introduced to mindful, happy living with the help of devotional music and guided meditation.

Radhika Das is a renowned London-based Kirtan artist and Bhakti Yoga practitioner known for leading global mantra meditation gatherings and popularizing devotional music. With over 15 years of experience, he combines traditional Vedic chants with modern, soulful music to promote peace and spiritual connection. His events are described by many students as a combination of a concert, spiritual workshop, and a safe place to re-set the mind.

For a contemporary university campus, such an event is not just entertainment. It promotes mental well being, stress management and emotional well being, now a key issue in higher education. As the pressure of exams mounts, as well as social and placement pressures, students tend to seek non-judgemental, safe areas in which they can rest and reflect. Such an evening session filled with meditation and music at VGU will allow students to enjoy themselves without needing to pay for such an extraordinary yet trending session. 

 Additionally, music and meditation initiatives in colleges contribute to the creation of a good campus culture. Bringing students together to sing, listen and meditate brings a feeling of community outside of classrooms and marks. It can enhance peer bonding, alleviate anxiety and even motivate healthier lifestyle choices. In the case of a university such as VGU, which prides itself as a progressive, student-focused university in Jaipur, such a programme indicates that the university is not only concerned with academic performance.

The evening will appeal to students interested in spirituality, self-development, mental health, music and special campus activities, so Radhika Das live at VGU is expected to draw a large crowd. When marketed properly on social media via Jaipur college events, campus fest updates, reels and student influencers, the session can easily become viral among the youth. Brief videos of group chants, audience involvement, before‑and‑after reactions and candid student feedback can go viral on Instagram and YouTube, exposing both VGU and the event to a broader audience.

This is an opportunity to do something they have not done before, a chance to de-stress, rejuvenate and reflect, and at the same time they are in a big, high-energy event. To the university, it is a chance to demonstrate that it values student mental health, happiness and spiritual well-being.

The event will be held on 4 April, 7 PM, at VGU campus and will likely turn out to be one of the most discussed college events in Jaipur this season, with all the best of live music, meditation and youth energy in a night to remember.

Note: For more information, connect with VGU via mail  or their social media account.

It is the World Optometry Day today, March 23, 2026, the world-wide celebration of the unsung heroes of the eye care profession, who enable millions of people to view the world through a clear lens. With the global community coming together to celebrate optometrists, Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) stands tall in the Department of Optometry, which is making actual changes in eye health in India. This day is a reminder of how talented professionals can make the foggy dreams come true in the form of crystal-clear futures, one eye check at a time.

What is Optometry?

Optometry is the science of the eye and vision care, which is not merely about the spectacles. Optometrists conduct a thorough eye examination, identify early symptoms of such illnesses as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, prescribe corrective lenses or contact lenses, and even lead the vision therapy. The demand of trained optometrists in India has never been higher, as more than 500 million people face problems with their vision, which is due to the increased screen time, diabetes, and aging population. 

According to the World Health Organization, 2.2 billion individuals in the world are vision impaired with one billion of these cases being preventable. This crisis is being highlighted by World Optometry Day, which calls for more access to eye care in areas such as rural Odisha, where CUTM is well established.

Centurion University’s Department of Optometry

It was founded in an attempt to reduce the discrepancy between classroom education and practice in the real world, and it provides a state-of-the-art B.Optom course accredited by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). In the first year students are plunged into practical training on the use of high-tech equipment such as autorefractors, slit lamps, and fundus cameras. The curriculum incorporates anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and low-vision rehab so that the graduates are prepared to work in clinics, hospitals, or even optical chains such as Lenskart.

What sets CUTM apart? 

Their model of Work-Study in which half of the study occurs in the field at collaborating eye hospitals and optical companies. This implies no heavy debt and job search after the graduation-students make money in the process of studying. Pros are mentored by faculty, many of whom have international qualifications through organizations such as the World Council of Optometry. The last highlights are community camps that screened more than 5,000 eyes in tribal areas last year, fitted free specs and 200+ cases that required urgent care. According to the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Deepak Kumar Sahoo, optometrists are not just degree holders, but change-makers who brighten lives.

Optometry Course at CUTM

To the future students of Bengaluru, Hyderabad or even elsewhere, the optometry course at CUTM can be the gateway to high paying careers. The salaries begin between 3-5 lakhs per year and can reach 10 lakhs in case of experience. The eyewear market in India has reached 25,000 crore (estimated to increase 15 percent annually) and the demand is soaring. Either looking at private practice or research, this field is stable and influential.

On this World Optometry Day, CUTM restates its commitment: a brighter and clearer tomorrow to everyone. Register today through their site and become a part of the vision revolution. Good eyes today translate to a better India tomorrow.

From Hives to Agri-Business

The workshop provides an understanding of how beekeeping has commercial potential. Participants will be able to turn their small-scale honey farming into an agri-business. The workshop provides an understanding of how beekeeping and honey farming support sustainability.

Honey farming only needs basic equipment and land space, which is advantageous to rural entrepreneurs. The training also helps students and farmers grasp the market need for natural and organic honey products.

Why University Workshops Matter

The gap between knowledge and practical skills is filled by such training programs. Students studying agriculture benefit from the training as they can apply the knowledge gained to real-life situations after graduating. Farmers also benefit as they learn new ways to support their families.
