Care World TV goes global; launches in the US
NEW DELHI: The seven-year-old health and fitness television channel Care World TV has been launched in the United States to become the world’s largest global healthcare television channel.
Senior media professional Lal Dadlaney has been roped in to set up and launch the channel in the US.
The channel will deliver high quality credible content in holistic, ethical and professional manner integrating health and fitness for the mind, body and soul with the help of highly experienced practitioners specialising in various disciplines and well known spiritual leaders who share alternative remedies and ancient secrets.
Care World TV has been launched as a conventional and complementary medical, wellness and lifestyle channel to serve south Asians in the US and Canada. The channel will carry US produced content involving prominent US doctors who seek to give back to the community their knowledge and skills.
Dadlaney, formerly Business and Operations head at TV Asia USA network, was primarily responsible for revamping and strengthening the infrastructure and operations of the channel. Based in New Jersey with over 20 years in Film and TV distribution, he will launch Care World TV USA the first 24×7 channel.
Care World TV MD Ajit Gupta is providing content, ideation and studio infrastructure; and along with Dadlaney and others is a founding member of the new venture.
“While there are many channels in the general entertainment space in the US and Canada in all languages for south Asians, there is not a single channel dedicated to providing quality health information in an engaging, exciting, and entertaining manner. Care World TV USA will occupy that space,” Gupta said.
“Our team believes passionately in the concept ‘prevention is better than cure’ and this drives the programming philosophy,” he added.
“A healthy peaceful mind is directly correlated to a healthy body and our programmes reflect prevention, natural treatment of ailments and at-home remedies. Care World TV USA has a lot of potential in markets like US and Canada. I am certain we will rewrite the history of American television programming in this segment,” Dadlaney said.
The channel is in test mode and is available for free 24 x 7 on many of the digital devices.
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
