      Secunderabad, June 2026 : An evening of inspiration, empathy and awareness unfolded at Omsree Signet in Yapral on Sunday as 11-year-old Jia Chandra delivered a heartfelt presentation titled “Different Brains, Same World,” highlighting the importance of neurodiversity and inclusive communities. Residents gathered to hear the young speaker share a powerful message about understanding and accepting people whose brains work differently. Through personal stories, humour and relatable examples, Jia encouraged the audience to look beyond stereotypes and embrace empathy over sympathy. For Jia, the subject is deeply personal. Her elder brother, Abhi Chandra, who has a 75 per cent moderate intellectual disability and is on the autism spectrum, has been the driving force behind her efforts to learn about neurodiversity and advocate for inclusion. During her presentation, Jia addressed common myths surrounding autism and neurodivergence, stressing that being different does not mean being less capable. She urged both children and adults to build communities rooted in kindness, understanding and acceptance. “Different does not mean wrong,” was one of the key messages that resonated with the audience as Jia explained how empathy can transform lives and create a more inclusive society. One of the most moving moments of the session was Jia’s account of her brother Abhi’s inspiring journey. Despite facing significant challenges, Abhi has excelled in roller and ice skating, demonstrating remarkable determination and resilience. He is now preparing to represent Telangana at the National Ice Skating Championships, organised by Special Olympics Bharat in Dehradun in July 2026. Jia used the platform to appeal to the Telangana Sports Minister and the wider community to support Abhi’s sporting aspirations and create greater opportunities for neurodivergent athletes across the country. Her presentation highlighted the need to recognise and nurture talent irrespective of disability, emphasizing that every individual deserves equal opportunities to shine. The event concluded with a powerful message of hope and inclusion: “Different brains do not need fixing—they need understanding. After all, it is the same world, and there’s space in it for everyone.” Jia’s thoughtful presentation left attendees inspired and reminded them that true inclusion begins with empathy, acceptance and celebrating the unique strengths of every individual.

      Young Changemaker Jia Chandra Inspires Community with Message of Neurodiversity and Inclusion
      Different Brains, Same World: A Sister’s Journey from Understanding to Inclusion What if the world stopped trying to change people who are different—and instead learned to understand them? This is the heart of “Different Brains, Same World,” a meaningful and deeply personal presentation by Jia Chandra on neurodiversity, empathy, and inclusion. For Jia, this topic is much more than a subject to study—it is part of her life. Her elder brother, Abhi Chandra, who is on the autism spectrum, has inspired her journey to better understand neurodiversity and the beauty of different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world. Through this presentation, Jia hopes to create awareness about neurodiversity and challenge the idea that “different” means “wrong.” The session explores how every brain is unique and why those differences should be respected and celebrated rather than misunderstood. The presentation also addresses several common myths and misconceptions surrounding autism and neurodiversity. It encourages children and adults alike to move beyond sympathy and embrace something even more powerful—empathy. Empathy is not feeling sorry for someone; it is trying to understand their experiences and seeing the world through their eyes. In a world that often expects everyone to fit into the same mould, Jia’s message is simple yet profound: kindness and inclusion can transform lives. Why should people attend this session? Because this is not a boring lecture filled with statistics and theories. It is a heartfelt conversation woven with real-life experiences, stories, and lessons from Jia’s journey alongside her brother. Through Abhi’s story, audiences will discover the challenges, strengths, joys, and extraordinary perspectives that come with neurodiversity. Most importantly, this session invites everyone to reflect on how we can build communities that are more inclusive, accepting, and compassionate. As Jia herself says: "I can’t promise you’ll leave with all the answers—but I can assure you that you’ll leave a little kinder than before." And perhaps, in today’s world, becoming a little kinder is exactly what we need. Because different brains do not mean different worth. After all, it is the same world—and there is space in it for everyone.

      Hyderabad, May 2026 : At the recently concluded Telangana Ice Skating Coaching Camp held at iSKATE, one young skater captured hearts with a performance that went far beyond medals and applause. Abhi Chandra, representing Telangana, achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the gold medal in the Special Category at the Short Track Speed Training Championship. The coaching camp, organised by the Ice Skating Association of Telangana from April 27 to May 5, brought together several promising young skaters preparing for future national-level competitions. Under the leadership of coach Raj Reddy and the expert guidance of national coach Ravi Dhillon, the camp focused not only on skating techniques but also on discipline, confidence, teamwork, and mental strength. Among the energetic participants, Abhi stood out quietly — calm, focused, and determined to give his best on the ice. For many athletes, a medal represents victory in sport. But for neurodivergent children and individuals on the autism spectrum, every achievement carries a much deeper emotional meaning. Every step forward is built through immense patience, courage, persistence, and resilience. Behind every success is a journey filled with challenges that often remain unseen by the world. Abhi’s gold medal was not just a sporting achievement; it became a symbol of determination, hope, and possibility. His performance reflected months and years of hard work, dedication, and the unwavering support of coaches and family members who believed in his dream. Now, Abhi has set his sights on an even bigger goal — earning selection for the 2029 Winter Special Olympics. He is currently undergoing intensive coaching and preparation for the selection process that will begin in July 2026. The selection programme will include four major training camps. Evaluations and shortlisting will take place after the completion of the first and second camps, while the final team representing India at the Winter Special Olympics will be chosen after all four camps conclude. Abhi Chandra will proudly represent the state of Telangana during this crucial journey. Those associated with the camp say Abhi’s dedication has already become an inspiration for many young athletes, especially children with special needs who dream of competing on larger platforms. His story is a reminder that true strength is not measured only by speed or medals, but by the courage to keep moving forward despite every obstacle. As Abhi continues training for the next stage of his journey, his golden moment at the Telangana Ice Skating Coaching Camp has already become a story of inspiration — one that celebrates inclusion, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself.

      Golden Dreams on Ice: Abhi Chandra’s Inspiring Journey Begins
      Mehsana, April 19: Industrialist Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, along with his wife Priti Adani, visited the historic Shri Ajitnath Bhagwan Shwetamber Jain Derasar on Sunday to offer prayers on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. The couple arrived at the Dabhoda helipad in Mehsana district’s Kheralu taluka early in the morning and were received by members of the Jain community. They then travelled to the hilltop temple, where a large number of devotees had gathered to mark the sacred day. The temple, dedicated to Lord Ajitnath, the second Tirthankara in Jainism, dates back to the 12th century and is associated with the Solanki ruler Kumarpal. It remains an important pilgrimage site known for its architectural heritage and religious significance. During the visit, Gautam Adani offered prayers inside the sanctum and spent time within the temple complex. The couple also briefly visited the canteen facility used by pilgrims, observing the arrangements in place for visitors. Adani later held discussions with temple trustee Sachin Ashokbhai Shah regarding plans to improve facilities for pilgrims. The focus was on enhancing access, amenities, and overall visitor experience while preserving the temple’s heritage value and spiritual character. In addition to infrastructure improvements, the Adani Group is supporting afforestation efforts in the Taranga hills. These initiatives aim to promote ecological restoration and protect the natural environment surrounding the sacred site. Akshaya Tritiya is considered one of the most auspicious days in both Hindu and Jain traditions, symbolising prosperity, new beginnings, and acts of charity. In Jain belief, the day marks the moment when Rishabhanatha received his first alms after a prolonged fast, establishing the tradition of offering food to ascetics. The visit follows a series of recent religious engagements by the Adani family. Earlier this month, on Hanuman Jayanti, Gautam Adani and his family offered prayers at the Ram Mandir, one of India’s most prominent religious sites. The visit reflects a blend of devotion, heritage conservation, and environmental responsibility, highlighting continued engagement with cultural and community initiatives. Team Maverick
