Day boarding centre inaugurated
A day boarding centre with the most modern facility in the region — KidsCareHub, located in Rajgarh, Byelane-1, Chandmari, Guwahati, was inaugurated on January 2 by the state’s noted writer and the Editor of the popular Nandini magazine, Maini Mahanta. A brainchild of founder and CEO, Manashi Das, who is also the Child Development Associate of America’s Ashworth College, Georgia, the centre is a combination of a daycare and an early childhood learning facility for children from 6 months up to 5 years. After spending more than 15 years of her life in different parts of USA and Canada, Manashi developed an urge to impart and share the learning style to her birth place. And this is how she conceptualised the idea of ‘KidzCareHub’. Based on age and a child’s development stages, the centre has categorized four different groups – Infant (6 months to 18 months), Freshman (1.5 years to 2.5 years), Sophomore (2.5 to 3.5 years) and JumpStart (3.5 years to 5 years).
The centre aims to create a wholesome early childhood learning program that embraces all domains of a child’s development. With that end, it has designed a curriculum that strives to protect and enhance the cognitive instincts of a child in a spacious, well-resourced, warm and inviting environment. The Hi-Tech dayboarding cum early childhood learning centre contains many types of toys, slides, story books, puzzles, bedding, a LED TV, among other things. Maini Mahanta feels that the day care boarding centre will immensely support working parents cope with anxiety and fear. The opening of the centre was also graced by Payal Agarwal Jain, founder of the popular Facebook group ‘Guwahati Moms Tribe’, and Purabi Gogoi Das, Business Development Head of the software development firm ‘Skaplink Technologies’. The day-care-centre also boasts of hi-tech safety features and video streaming facilities, which are one big assurance for working parents. Keeping in mind the need to provide the safest space for the children, the centre has CCTV surveillance for parents to rest their worries and check in on their children from time to time. Library rooms, Nap rooms and infant rooms are fitted with high quality padded walls and floors to ensure a safe playing and resting space for the kids. The children will be constantly under the supervision of highly trained teachers and an efficient staff. As part of their wellness, it also has a pediatrician and a dentist on board. While, the kids spend their entire day at the daycare, the centre will strive to provide them a healthy and tasty diet that meets their nutritional requirements for the day without parents having to worry about packing food and sending off.

Women’s participation in the work force has increased over the years, yet, a healthy percentage of the female employees have also had to constantly endure sexual harassment and abuse at the hands of their employers, leading to an oppressive environment in the workplace. Many women prefer to suffer silently over the injustices committed against them, out of fear of losing their jobs. At times, when they do speak up, they are often met by apathetic superiors and colleagues. A healthy public awareness about the issue of sexual harassment may, perhaps, help prevent its recurrence, which prompted Partha Bharadwaj to produce an Assamese short film - ‘Not my Thing’, that celebrates the...

Shankar Borua is an independent filmmaker from Assam who has continued making cinema with a distinct sensibility and incorporates the voices of the many communities that make up the State. Even though you never went to film school, what inspired you to pursue this line of writing as well as directing indie films? My initial foray into the world of motion pictures began, I believe, when I was a little boy growing up in my hometown Duliajan in Upper Assam. My father, active with the Duliajan Film Society, back in the seventies, would have us kids watch wildlife movies playing off a 16mm projector at home. The cans, the screen, and the projector would occasionally be parked at our residence...
