A New Chapter Magazine

On this day, nearly 40 years ago, Mr. Rajendra Darda made history by launching “Lokmat Times,” transforming English journalism in our region. A remarkable and bold vision that raised the profile of our city, created opportunities, and shaped voices. We salute the true pioneer on the newspaper’s 39th anniversary. Here is the cover story on him from “A New Chapter” magazine’s November edition. @RajendrajDarda @rishidarda @karandarda @LokmatNewsEng #ChhatrapatiSambhajinagar #Aurangabad #Media #EnglishJournalism #TheNewspaperThatLaunchedAThousandCareers

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) is charging into the future. With major investments from Toyota, Ather Energy, and JSW Group, the city is fast emerging as a key EV manufacturing hub. From industrial revival to electric mobility leadership, this is just the beginning. Exclusive and in-depth report in “A New Chapter” this month by veteran journalist K.S. Manojkumar. @Dev_Fadnavis @save_atul @CMOMaharashtra @CMIAAurangabad @AURICCity @atherenergy @M_KirloskarTata @swapniljain89 @tarunsmehta @dushyantnpatil @TheJSWGroup @Toyota_India @utsavmachhar @CSN_Updates #Chhatrapati_Sambhajinagar #Aurangabad #Marathwada @Maha_infra @The_CSN_Index @ssastronaut @DrBhagwatKarad  @AurangabadBuzz

We, at “A New Chapter” magazine, were deeply honored to remember the visionary scholar Dr. Moin Shakir through a moving article by his son, Dr. Shuja Shakir, in our February edition. From his tumultuous life and struggles to his dream of a harmonious city — the piece reveals how profoundly right he was, even when misunderstood in his time. We are poorer without such intellectual giants. A truly eye-opening read. #ChhatrapatiSambhajinagar #Aurangabad #BAMU #DrMoinShakir #DrShujaShakir #AnantBhalerao #GovindbhaiShroff #MarathwadaUniversity #BasharNawaz #JanNisarAkhtar #SantEknath #ZarZariZarBaksh #DileepBade #Urdu #RomilaThapar #SubhadraJoshi #MushirulHasan #ZoyaHasan #MNRoy #ProfRandhirSingh @Javedakhtarjadu @sudhirgavhane @mjakbar

Dr. Bhagwat Karad, former Union minister of state for finance, received the latest edition of "A New Chapter" featuring an exclusive interview with CMIA President Mr. Utsav Machhar. In the interview, Mr. Utsav Machhar highlighted the constant guidance and accessibility of Dr. Bhagwat Karad, the instrumental role played by Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Atul Save in bridging industry and government, and the strategic support of Kaustubh Dhavse, investment adviser to the chief minister, who ensured investor concerns were addressed with speed and clarity.

@ANewChapterMag It’s great to see a platform that highlights real stories, achievements & thoughtful perspectives.I had the opportunity to write about my grandfather & seeing it published here means a lot. The way the magazine presents personal stories with respect & depth is truly commendable.

@ANewChapterMag What a comprehensive magazine for which I wait and when it comes in my hand I would go through from beginning to end. Very interesting and professionally done . Kudos to Dilshad and her team.

A New Chapter turns a new chapter in journalism in cities like Aurangabad. The quality of articles is remarkable.

From the Publisher: "Growth is not automatic. It demands effort — individual and institutional. It demands vision and vigilance. Our city, our region, and our state stand at a defining moment. Let us double our efforts to carry forward this torch of development. Let us ensure that when history looks back at this period, it calls it what we already know it to be — A New Chapter."

@utsavmachhar The way you still hold your teacher in high regard is so moving. The old-school teacher-student bond used to be overwhelming and pure! Being an academician, it makes me sad that this respect is vanishing currently in Gen Z. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment of gratitude

A very special moment today. Met my school principal Mr. Ranjit Dass, now Director at Nath Valley School, to present him a copy of “A New Chapter” which covers my journey as President of Chamber of Marathwada Industries and Agriculture. Sir has guided me from Class 3 to 12 and continues to mentor me even today. Also lucky to receive Sir’s famous Ferrero Rocher for special students again! 😊 Grateful for the foundation and values he gave me. @CSN_Updates @ANewChapterMag

From the Editor, Mrs. Lakshmi Murthy Ramakuru

The new issue of the @ANewChapterMag is out! Get yours today.

@RajendrajDarda Well said. Beautiful. And so true

समंदर के किनारे बैठकर एक बात समझ आई, ज़िंदगी छोटी है… इसे मुस्कुराकर जीना ही असली कमाई है। 🌊😊 #life #Friday #reflections
