Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation and President of "More Than a Mother" campaign expressed, "Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) stands as a grave issue deeply ingrained in numerous cultures across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It is important that we take immediate action and speak out against this longstanding and harmful practice. FGM deprives women and girls of their dignity, jeopardizes their health, inflicts unnecessary pain and suffering, and imposes lasting complications, including infertility, yes. Infertility that resulted from untreated infectious diseases which resulted from FGM practice."
 
"FGM causes other complications such as infections, stillborn babies, and, in some instances, even death. It is crucial to challenge and eradicate this damaging tradition." she continued.
 
According to the WHO data, more than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where FGM is primarily practiced. FGM is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15.
 
"Through 'OUR Africa' TV program we have conveyed to the communities that FGM only harms girls and women physically and also psychologically, and that it has no health benefits. Rather, FGM can lead to severe medical complications in women including infertility, as infection due to FGM is one of the main causes of Infertility. FGM also increases the risk of HIV transmission and can cause severe complications during childbirth. We must understand that FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. This practice needs to stop immediately." Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej added.

Merck Foundation believes that Education is one of the most critical areas of women empowerment and will definitely help in stopping practices such as FGM, which do not benefit anyone.

  • It coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Kargil War.
  • This luxury brand has been launched at the price point of Rs. 5,000.
​
Radico Khaitan Limited ("Radico Khaitan" or the Company), one of the largest liquor companies in India, has proudly introduced the Spirit of Victory 1999 Pure Malt Whisky, a heartfelt tribute to the valiant soldiers of the 1999 Kargil War under the umbrella of "Spirit of Victory" range of brands. This significant launch continues the success of its forerunners, the 1965 The Spirit of Victory Premium XXX Rum and the 1965 Spirit of Victory Lemon Dash. Each product in this line is crafted with meticulous attention to quality and embodies a profound sense of national pride. With this launch, the Company also capitalizes on the emerging Pure Malt whisky category.

On every bottle sold, the Company has pledged to contribute a part of the revenue earned to the welfare funds of the Indian Armed Forces.

With an initial release in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, followed by expansion to other states, Radico Khaitan aims to share this meaningful tribute widely, at the price point of Rs. 5,000.

Amar Sinha, Chief Operating Officer, Radico Khaitan, expressed his excitement about the new product, saying, "The Spirit of Victory 1999 Pure Malt Whisky is both a tribute to our courageous soldiers and a testament to our brand creation capabilities which already includes iconic brands like Rampur Indian Single Malt, Sangam World Malt as well as Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection Whiskies.

We are a proud Indian company and are committed to producing exceptional spirits that also celebrate the bravery, sacrifices, and shared destiny that define our Spirit of Victory brand."

What is a Pure Malt Whisky

A Pure Malt, also known as a blended malt, is a type of whisky crafted by blending various single malts distilled twice in traditional pot stills. These single malts undergo maturation in oak barrels. Each distillery contributes a distinct flavor profile influenced by factors such as geographical location, raw materials, production process, and the characteristics of the barrels used. We embark on a global journey to assess and select diverse styles of single malts. These carefully chosen single malts are then blended with our Indian single malt to create the exceptional Spirit of Victory 1999 Pure Malt.
