Shivaji is more than a historical figure in India. The very name is nothing short of an emotion in this part of the world. For many Indians, especially in the Northern belt, Shivaji is not just a mere inspirational historical figure but a symbol of resistance against oppression as well as a cultural renaissance of sorts. Every year, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti is observed on 19 February. This year will mark his 394th birth anniversary. Also referred to as Shivaji Jayanti, the day is celebrated with great zeal across the state.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, celebrated on the 19th of February every year, commemorates the birth anniversary of one of India's greatest warriors and rulers, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Born in 1630 in the hill fort of Shivneri in Pune, Maharashtra, Shivaji Maharaj was the founder of the Maratha Empire, which played a crucial role in shaping the course of Indian history. This day holds immense significance not only in Maharashtra but across India, as Shivaji Maharaj's legacy continues to inspire generations with his valor, leadership, and commitment to justice. Shivaji Maharaj was born to Shahaji Bhosale, a Maratha general, and Jijabai, a devout Hindu mother who instilled in him the values of courage, righteousness, and love for his motherland from an early age. His upbringing amidst the turbulent political landscape of medieval India, marked by the oppressive rule of the Mughals, greatly influenced his vision for an independent Maratha kingdom. From a young age, Shivaji Maharaj displayed exceptional military prowess and leadership skills. He established an army of skilled soldiers known as the Marathas and employed innovative guerrilla tactics to challenge the dominant powers of the time. His strategic brilliance and ability to unite diverse communities under the banner of Hindavi Swarajya (self-rule for Hindus) enabled him to carve out a formidable empire in the Deccan region.

Hyundai Motor India is taking a significant leap towards making electric vehicles more accessible across the country. The company has recently expanded its ultra-fast EV charging network by setting up 11 new charging stations in various cities and along major highways. These new charging stations are strategically placed to benefit cities like Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Gurugram, and Bangalore. They are also located along highways such as Delhi-Chandigarh, Delhi-Jaipur, Hyderabad-Vijayawada, Mumbai-Surat, and Mumbai-Nashik. The aim of these charging stations is to provide quick and convenient charging options for electric vehicle owners. Most of them operate 24/7, catering to both city dwellers and long-distance travelers. The charging stations utilize advanced technology that enables vehicles to be charged rapidly and efficiently. For example, the Hyundai IONIQ 5, one of Hyundai's electric vehicle models, can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes using these chargers. To make the charging process even more convenient, customers can use the MyHyundai app. The app allows users to discover charging stations, navigate to them, pre-book charging slots, make digital payments, and monitor the charging status. Looking ahead, Hyundai plans to further expand its ultra-fast charging network to 10 or more new locations by 2024. Additionally, as part of an agreement with the Government of Tamil Nadu, Hyundai aims to install 100 charging stations by 2027.
