CNN-IBN to showcase ‘India’s Incredible Homes’
MUMBAI: CNN-IBN is launching a special series India’s Incredible Homes on 16 February. The half-hour show at 12:30 pm will showcase homes ranging from an urban dwelling, a nature getaway to an unusual abode or a famous celebrity’s customised residence.
The new show will consist of a number of segments “Personality Homes,” “Away from the City,” “Funky Homes” and “Back to Basics.” The Personality Homes special will talk about homes that reflect the persona of various well-known personalities. Away from the City segment will highlight the homes that take care of the dweller in the lap of nature – from mountains to beaches. Funky Homes segment will present to its viewers the homes that celebrate the marriage of ideas and design, convergence of traditional design and modern amenities; the Back to Basics section will present homes that embody the integrity of ‘domestic’ life and the simplicity of design.
CNN-IBN and IBN7 editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai said, “It is widely believed that homes are an expression of one’s ideas and a reflection of their dreams. CNN-IBN’s India’s Incredible Homes will reveal just this as it presents model homes from across the country that are the pride and joy of their owners.”
“A feature series unlike any other on CNN-IBN, India’s Incredible Homes is bound to appeal to a wide audience and therefore prove an excellent platform for companies choosing to associate their brands with it,” said CNN-IBN and IBN 7 national sales head Sanjay Dua.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
