Shaping the Future of Cultural Heritage: Insights from Ahmedabad University’s Pioneering Programme
By CYAhmedabad University’s unique and pioneering program – Master of Heritage Management is opening new opportunities for youth interested in exploring culture and heritage. Let’s take a closer look at this program that is shaping a new generation of responsible professionals. Heritage management is a relatively new discipline, but an important evolution that furthers global aspirations for economic development. Traditionally, heritage was perceived as a field focused solely on ‘conservation’ and ‘preservation.’ However, in our rapidly changing world, heritage has formed a network with business, creating new solutions for inclusive and sustainable development.

People change like the weather, but the change in weather is always beautiful, unlike people. In this album ‘Blushing Hues of Spring’ photographer Priti Bhatt, who hails from the heritage city of Ahmedabad, explains us the different moods in nature, in time and the life around us. Her vision of capturing folage in its most organic form gives her viewers an opportunity to connect with the natural atmosphere in all these urbanisations. Her zeal of capturing the vibrancy of nature in its utmost simplicity is what makes here clicks unique as well as picturesque.
A management professional, who is also a serious hobbyist, Priti considers photography as an opportunity to find her inner self. She was always inclined towards capturing the best moments of life, her family and friends, during her early days but her vision towards photography as an art upgraded after meeting veteran photographers and mentor Ketan Modi and Vivek Desai. From there she began capturing unique elements that roam around us while travelling. This album consists pictures that were clicked in the time frame of 3 years at various places of Gujarat, especially Ahmedabad and The Dangs.

Film Sabarmati Report is a straight refresher of the Conspiracy for the Gen Z
Naresh Gulati Nov 16, 2024
Having released in the backdrop of some suspicion from both right and left wings, partly attributable perhaps to the recent track record of utterances of its makers the Balaji Motion Pictures and its key stake holders, the film The Sabarmati Report has harbored no twists. Rather creditably, it serves a straight narrative of depicting the…

જ્યારે પ્રણયની જગમાં શરૂઆત થઈ હશે,
ત્યારે પ્રથમ ગઝલની રજૂઆત થઈ હશે.
પહેલા પવનમાં ક્યારે હતી આટલી મહેક,
રસ્તામાં તારી સાથે મુલાકાત થઈ હશે.
