Precision and Sustainability in Every Drop: Inside Puridas AI-Powered Orchard Robot
Farmers face a tough mix of challenges: there arent always enough workers to tend vast orchards, and those who spray pesticides risk harming their own health by breathing in toxic chemicals. At the same time, overusing sprays pollutes soil and water, threatening both the environment and the long-term health of crops and people. Enter Purida , a next-generation orchard spraying robot built to cut chemical use and protect both people and the planet. Mounted on an all-electric, lightweight frame, Purida drives itself through rows of fruit trees and applies pesticides only where theyre needed. It can cover more ground in less time, then automatically return to its base when the job is done At its core, Purida uses AI-based autonomous driving, electrostatic nozzles, and a smart blower system. GPS, LiDAR, and vision sensors work together so the robot navigates tricky terrain and avoids obstacles. Its electrostatic nozzles charge spray droplets so they cling evenly to both sides of leaves, cutting pesticide use by up to 40 %. A separate blower at each nozzle lets Purida adjust airflow for different cropswhether apples, pears, or grapesensuring precise coverage without waste. This is a game-changer. Traditionally, orchard managers relied on manual or tractor-towed sprayers. Workers with backpack sprayers spray by hand, which is slow, uneven, and exposes them to chemicals. Larger tractors pull boom sprayers, but they still drench entire canopies and lose 65 %70 % of spray to drift and runoff. Many growers also follow rigid spray calendars, applying chemicals whether disease risk is high or not, leading to unnecessary environmental harm. Purida uses AI to remain stable on rough orchard floors. An AI constantly watches how it moves and reacts before trouble starts. Tiny gyroscopes and accelerometers feed a neuralnetwork model running on the robots onboard computer with realtime data about tilt, speed, and direction. That AI has been trained on thousands of examples of safe and unsafe slopes, so if it spots patterns that usually lead to tipping, it instantly slows or stops the robot. All of this happens in the blink of an eye, keeping Purida from leaning too far and risking a rollover even when the ground is uneven. Purida has been optimized to avoid surface root damage. Behind the scenes, Purida also builds a live map of the orchard using GPS, LiDAR, and cameras. This groundadaptive navigation layer updates continuously, marking spots where the soil dips or banks too sharply and steering the robot around them. By weaving together fast sensor feedback, predictive AI, and adaptive path planning, Hada makes sure Purida can spray every row quickly and precisely, without ever losing its balance. HADA has already moved Purida out of the lab and into real orchards. Since early 2025, the company has supplied Purida units to commercial farms through Koreas government-backed New Technology Distribution Project, running pilot trials on apple and grape orchards. Early feedback from those on-farm pilots has been overwhelmingly positive. Growers report that Puridas autonomous path planning and remote-monitoring app let them handle spraying with a fraction of the crew they once needed. They also praise the electrostatic nozzles for delivering more even coverage with noticeably less drift, and theyve been impressed by the robots rock-steady stability on uneven terrain, especially when compared to tractor-towed booms. For many, the most significant relief has been knowing they no longer have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a live sprayer, inhaling fine mist every time they treat their trees (From left) Hubert Nguyen, CTO of Ubergizmo, and Ha Jong-woo, CEO of Hada, taking a commemorative photo. Photographed by AVING News Purida is built by Hada Co., Ltd., a Korean firm that has specialized in field-crop machinery since 2012. From their start building garlic planters, theyve grown into an integrated solutions provider combining in-house hardware, software, and AI expertise. Today, theyre the only Korean company with this type of commercial orchard spraying robotand theyre moving fast to expand globally, with plans to show off their next model at CES 2026.

Rajya Sabha shake-up on cards to fill 75 vacancies next year
NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha is poised for a significant shake-up with over 70 vacancies expected between April and November 2026 due to the scheduled retirement of several senior members from across the political lines. Among the prominent MPs whose terms will end during this period are: NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, senior BJP leader Hardeep Puri, former PM HD Deve Gowda, Vice Chairman of the House and JDU MP Harivansh, SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav, Congresss Digvijaya Singh, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale, Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, TMC MP Saket Gokhale, RLP MP Upendra Kushwaha, BJP national general secretary and MP Arun Singh, DMK MP P Wilson, and several others. In total, the House will face as many as 75 vacancies during this window, prompting fresh elections across the states to fill the seats. Prior to those retiring in 2026, six members, including DMKs Wilson and PMKs Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, are set to complete their six-year terms just three days after the commencement of this years Monsoon Session and retire on July 24. This will result in six additional vacancies. This comes shortly after President Droupadi Murmu nominated four eminent personalities including a former diplomat and a noted historian to the Rajya Sabha on Saturday evening, filling four of the vacant nominated seats. Currently, the strength of the Rajya Sabha stands at 236. With the addition of the four new nominated members, it will rise to 240 in the 245-member House. However, following the retirement of six members on 24 July, the strength is expected to drop again to 235.

Nitish promises 1 cr jobs, skill varsity
PATNA: Ahead of Bihar assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday promised one crore government jobs employment opportunities for the youth, and setting up a skill university, to be named after former CM and socialist leader Karpoori Thakur, in the next five years. Assembly polls in Bihar are to be held in October-November and NDA allies have already declared that the election would be contested under Nitishs leadership. Nitishs announcement for one crore jobs and employment opportunities came barely days after state cabinet approved a proposal to set up Bihar Youth Commission, apparently to target young voters. It has been our vision to ensure that more and more youths in the state receive government jobs and employment opportunities. Between 2005 and 2020, over eight lakh youths in the state were provided with government jobs. We resolved to provide government jobs to 10 lakh youth and employment to 10 lakh people in 2020 under the good governance programme, Saat Nischay-2. Later, this target was increased to provide jobs to 12 lakh youths and employment to 38 lakh people by August 2025, setting a total target of 50 lakh jobs/employment opportunities, Nitish wrote on X. The target of providing government jobs/employment to over 50 lakh youth will certainly be achieved. In this context, for the next five years (2025 to 2030), we are setting a target to double the goal fixed for 2020-2025 by providing government jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youths, he said. To achieve this, new job and employment opportunities will also be created in the private sector, particularly in industrial areas. For this purpose, a high-level committee is being constituted. Currently, the youth of the state are being provided with skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities under the Saat Nischay programme, the CM added. He announced that in the next five years, the programme under Saat Nischay for the youth skill development will be expanded. In the coming time, a skill university will be established, which will be named Jan Nayak Karpuri Thakur Skill University in honour of Bihars pride, Bharat Ratna Jananayak Karpuri Thakur ji, so that the youth of the state can find a new direction in skill development, he said. JD (U) leader Neeraj Kumar said, It is not a promise, but a resolve. Congress spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari claimed that the Nitish government could give only four lakh government jobs from 2005 to 2020 while five lakh posts were still vacant in government departments. He is making tall promises ahead of elections apparently for political gains, he added. RJD spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwari said, Nitishs promises are mere political gimmickry, intended at wooing voters before the assembly election. Decision follows Cabinet nod for youth panel Assembly polls in Bihar are to be held in October-November and NDA allies have already declared that the election would be contested under Nitishs leadership. Nitishs announcement for one crore jobs and employment opportunities came barely days after state cabinet approved a proposal to set up Bihar Youth Commission, apparently to target young voters.

The 990 Pro can reach read speeds of up to 1,400 KB/s and yes, that's kilobytes, not megabytes. Crucial X9 Pro 2TB for $120 ($60 off): The Crucial X9 Pro with 2TB storage space is marked down 33 percent for Prime Day. It's our top pick for the best portable SSD right now thanks to its excellent speeds, compact yet rugged design and five-year warranty.

For some reason, only the Kim Kardashian branded version is on sale, but it's the exact same speaker. Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $500: We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the fact that Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 available to order y invitation now. The Mario Kart World bundle is available for the standard $500 price, so it's not a Prime Day deal per se, but considering Amazon was (supposedly) shut out of the initial Switch 2 order process earlier this year, it's notable to see the console listed on the site at all.

Raising awareness on teen pregnancies, child marriages, says health secretary
CHENNAI: Claiming that child marriages are taking place in some parts of the state, health secretary P Senthil Kumar said the government is taking all steps to spread awareness on the health issues related to child marriages and teenage pregnancies. Speaking at an organised by the health department as part of the World Population Day, Senthilkumar said, only explaining scientifically on the issues of early pregnancies and marriages could bring a change in the attitude of the people. People should also be educated on spacing, a gap between two children, for a healthy life. There should be a minimum of 3 years of age difference between two children, he said. The health secretary further said the total fertility rate is 1.4, which is below replacement level fertility (the average number of children a woman needs to have to maintain a stable population). Now the focus of the government is on how to improve the quality of life of people. Health minister MA Subramanian, who was present on the occasion, said the government has been organising various awareness programmes to reduce the number of people getting married at an early age. In various districts like Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri, the number of people getting married at an early age has come down to a great extent.

The existing laws governing sale of spurious seed, pesticide and other agricultural inputs are weak, says Shivraj Singh Chouhan
NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) leaders have written to Home Minister Amit Shah seeking intervention to stop alleged violation of human rights, harassment and extortion of Bengali-speaking migrants at the hands of Delhi Police and other authorities. In the letter, the senior CPM leader and former Rajya Sabha Brinda Karat and the secretary of the Delhi State Committee, Anurag Saxena, mentioned a couple of instances of abuse and intimidation from different parts of the city in the ongoing process of 'identification of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants' in Delhi. We have received several complaints of harassment of genuine citizens of India on the grounds that they speak BengaliWe were shocked to find blatant violations of minimum human rights, harassment and in some cases, corruption amounting to extortion We hope you will consider these issues and intervene to restore human rights, humane behaviour of the law enforcement agencies and adequately compensate the victims for their losses, read the communiqu. The Left party leader highlighted how the families living in Bawana, RK Puram and Chanakyapuri slums were picked and reportedly beaten up by the police personnel. The process of identification of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh in the capital of India is an example of violation of minimum human rights. In the process, genuine Indian citizens are being targeted on the grounds of language and religion. There are international norms for the deportation of illegal immigrants. The present methods of identification in Delhi violate all such norms, the leader stated. Meanwhile, the CPI (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation (CPIML-Liberation) has also expressed solidarity with residents of Jai Hind Camp in Vasant Kunj. Are we not citizens? Bengali-speaking migrants in Delhi slum cut off from basic services The settlers are mainly domestic workers and sanitation workers and a majority of them are from West Bengal. The police snapped power and water supply to the Camp in view of the court orders. While there is no demolition order, the residents are living in fear of demolition, especially after the meters have been cut, and given the government's propensity to demolish Muslim and working-class homes arbitrarily. Much like Wazirpur and Bhoomiheen Camp, here too, while the settlement may be informal, the residents were given voter cards, Aadhar cards and other government documents on these addresses. CPI-ML stands with the constitutionally guaranteed right to shelter for all as part of the right to life (Article 21), a statement issued by the party said. Earlier, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Government for stopping the supply to Jai Hind Camp. Having failed in their attempts to deprive Bengalis in West Bengal, BJP is now exporting their Bangla-Birodhi agenda to other parts of the country strategically and systemically. Disturbing reports have emerged from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh, where Bengali-speaking individuals are facing targeted persecution. And now, this pattern of hostility has reached even the national capitalBengal stands in solidarity with every oppressed voice. We will raise this issue in every possible forum, she posted on X.

If youve got gadgets on your wishlist, Engadget has you covered. Were surfacing the best Prime Day deals on gadgets and gear we can find for the whole of the shopping event. As in years past, Prime Day has brought solid discounts on some of our favorite tech including earbuds, tablets, robot vacuums and home devices. These are the best Prime Day deals you can get before the sale ends tonight. Prime Day deals: Engadget's top picks Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $149 (40 percent off): The AirPods Pro 2 remain Apples best set of wireless earbuds, as they offer the full set of Apple-focused features, strong ANC, onboard volume controls, a comfy in-ear design and a warm sound profile that most should find agreeable. They can even work as a hearing aid now. Samsung 55-inch The Frame QLED 4K smart TV for $798 (47 percent off): This is the set that spurred all of the art TV copycats, and it's been a favorite of our staff for a long time. Samsung's set looks like a piece of art hanging on your wall when you're not watching TV, and you can cycle through thousands of images to show on the TV so you'll always have something new to display. Jisulife Life7 handheld fan for $23 (21 percent off): Jisulife makes handheld fans we've recommended in past gift guides and this is one of its newer models. It can be held, folded so it sits flat on a table or worn around your neck for a cool breeze wherever you're going. It has an easy-to-read display in its center that will show you the fan speed level or current battery life, and its 5,000 mAh battery can last up to 19.5 hours on a single charge when you're running the fan on its lowest setting. Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber for $38 (46 percent off): This was my favorite thing I bought last year because it makes the must-detested chore of cleaning my shower less of a pain. It's an electric spin scrubber that comes with multiple cleaning heads so you can use it on your countertops, sinks, tubs and showers and more. It also has an adjustable arm so you can reach tough spots in hard-to-reach places, and it convenient recharges via USB-C. Samsung SmartTag 2 for $15.50 (48 percent off): Samsung users looking to keep track of their stuff need look no further than the SmartTag 2. One of our top picks for the best Bluetooth trackers , this accessory easily attaches to keys, bags and other items and uses Samsung's large finding network to show you their last known location. Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $248 (38 percent off): While the XM6 headphones are the latest and greatest, they only make small changes to the already stellar XM5. These were our top pick for the best wireless headphones for a long time before the XM6 launched earlier this year, and we still like them for their excellent sound quality, strong ANC, multi-device connectivity and good battery life. Note that the black model is the only one down to $248 at the moment; all other colors are on sale for $298. Dyson V15 Detect Plus for $570 ($180 off): You can't get much better than a Dyson if you're on the market for a cordless stick vacuum, and the V15 Detect delivers. It's our current top pick for the best cordless vacuum overall thanks to its excellent suction power, lightweight design, good battery life and the included Fluffy Optic cleaning head that uses a laser to show you where all the debris is while you're using it. Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $500: We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the fact that Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 available to order y invitation now. The Mario Kart World bundle is listed at the standard $500 price, so it's not a Prime Day deal per se, but considering Amazon was (supposedly) shut out of the initial Switch 2 order process earlier this year, it's notable to see the console listed on the site at all. Prime Day deals under $50 Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $18 (49 percent off): Our favorite budget streaming stick , the Fire TV Stick HD is an easy, dirt-cheap way to upgrade an aging TV set. It supports HD video and its revamped remote can control the power and volume of your TV, so you don't have to keep track of two controllers. Anker iPhone Nano Power Bank with Built-in USB-C Connector for $20 ($10 off) : One of these little guys could represent the difference between a dead phone and a not-dead phone. Its the size of an oldey-timey lipstick case and delivers a partial charge to any USB-C phone. We tested it out and awarded it a spot in our guide to power banks . Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 ($25 off) : This stick handles Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 4K video and HDR10+ and supports Wi-Fi 6E. It has the fastest processor of any Fire TV Stick and Engadgets Jeff Dunn has gotten a lot of use from the stick as a retro gaming emulator . Of course, Amazons user interface is less elegant (and less democratic) than others. And it highly prioritizes Prime Video content. Lexar Professional Silver Plus for $38 ($35 off): Our tests showed this to be the fastest microSD card on the market, beating out the whole Samsung line. Not only is it fast enough to download and upload 4K files without trying your patience, it's also waterproof, cheap and squeezes in both USB-A and USB-C ports. Amazon Echo Spot for $45 (44 percent off): Amazon revived the Spot smart alarm clock last year, which features a half-circle shaped display that shows the time, weather and other information like song titles when you're using the speaker to play music. It has a compact design that will make it easy to fit on a desk or a nightstand, and as with any Alexa smart speaker, you can use it to control IoT devices like smart lights, locks and more. Prime Day Apple deals Apple Watch Series 10 for $280 ($120 off): We consider Apples flagship wearable to be the best smartwatch you can buy, period. It's a mostly iterative update , with faster charging, a slightly slimmer design and a marginally larger display than the prior Series 9. That said, it's still a comprehensive fitness tracker, and no other smartwatch can integrate as neatly with iPhones and other Apple devices. Apple iPad Air (11-inch, M3) for $479 ($120 off) : In our opinion, the iPad Air is the best iPad for most people as it strikes an ideal balance between performance, price and features. The M3 chip is almost overkill for a tablet, but it means performance should never be an issue. And upcoming productivity gains from iPadOS 26 should make the tablet even more powerful. Apple iPad (A16) for $280 (20 percent off) : The latest base model iPad comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and 128GB of storage as standard. It earned a score of 84 in our review if you only need an iPad for roaming the internet, watching shows and doing some lighter productivity tasks, it's a good starter tablet. Prime Day audio deals Sony WH-CH720N headphones for $78 (48 percent off): The cheapest Sony headphones we'd recommend that are no slouch. They're lightweight and comfy with respectable sound for the price. You also get Adaptive Sound Control, 360 Reality Audio and multipoint Bluetooth on this budget model. Beats Pill for $99 (34 percent off): The Beats Pill is one of the few portable bluetooth speakers we liked enough to give it a full review . Those of you who love the classic Beats bluetooth speakers will be happy to know they're back in fine form. Nobody can beat the Pill for bass, and its sound is crisp and lossless at almost any frequency and volume. For some reason, only the Kim Kardashian branded version is on sale, but it's the exact same speaker. Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $160 (30 percent off): The best earbuds for Pixel phone users are down to $160, which makes them a great purchase right now. Live translate and hands-free access to Gemini might be the highlight, but these earbuds have great sound and capable ANC too. Sonos Beam Gen 2 for $369 (26 percent off): The second-gen Beam soundbar has support for Dolby Atmos and it has a relatively streamlined design that should be easy to fit into most home entertainment setups. Prime Day laptop deals Microsoft Surface Laptop (13.8-inch, Snapdragon X Plus) for $860 (28 percent off): In addition to running on a Snapdragon X Plus processor, this 2024 Surface Laptop has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's a Copilot+ PC that also has a 13.8-inch touchscreen, and it should last up to 20 hours on a single charge. Google Pixelbook Go (13-inch, Intel Core M3) for $319 (51 percent off): The Pixelbook Go is a bit old at this point, but if you're a Chrome OS lover and want a Google-made laptop, this is a solid option. It includes an Intel Core M3 processor, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 12-hour battery life. Prime Day tech deals Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 multicooker for $70 (50 percent off): This six-quart pressure cooker and multicooker is a versatile kitchen tool for anyone who (somehow) didn't buy into the Instant Pot craze a few years back. It can do a lot with its nine cooking modes, including pressure cook, slow cook, steam, rice cook, saute and more, and the six-quart size is great for families and meal-preppers. Ring Doorbell Battery + Indoor Cam 2 for $70 (50 percent off): If you're looking to build out a security system in your home, this bundle is a good place to start, giving you a video doorbell and an indoor security camera. You'll be able to see both live feeds in the Ring app, and they can send you motion alerts and let you speak to people on the other end of the camera when you're not at home. Kindle for $85 ($25 off): Our favorite budget option in our guide to the best ereaders , the latest base Kindle has 16GB of storage more than enough to hold hundreds of books at a time. It has a compact and durable design thats easy to take anywhere, and the latest model is faster than before with speedy page turns and a more seamless navigation between books, your library and other parts of the UI. Crucial X9 Pro 2TB for $120 ($60 off): The Crucial X9 Pro with 2TB storage space is marked down 33 percent for Prime Day. It's our top pick for the best portable SSD right now thanks to its excellent speeds, compact yet rugged design and five-year warranty. Samsung 990 Pro for $150 (29 percent off): The whole Samsung Pro line of SSDs is excellent for gamers, with PS5s in particular seeming to run much faster with one installed. The 990 Pro can reach read speeds of up to 1,400 KB/s and yes, that's kilobytes, not megabytes. Ninja Dual-Zone air fryer (10 quart) for $180 ($70 off) : This model is one of our favorite air fryers thanks to its dual-zone cooking system, which allows you to prepare two separate foods at different temperatures and settings. There's even a Match Cook feature that ensures both foods will be done at the same time, regardless of their cooking settings. Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $183 ($37 off): Our top pick for the best air purifier , Levoit's Core 400S reliably improved air quality in our testing, plus it has easy to use onboard controls and replaceable filters that are not too expensive . We also found it to not be offensively loud, even on its highest setting. iRobot Roomba 104 Combo robot vacuum and mop for $250 (44 percent off): This combo machine will vacuum and mop on its own, plus it comes with an auto-empty base as well. That means it will automatically empty the dry debris it collects into the base after every cleaning job. Kindle Scribe for $260 ($140 off): The Scribe is one of the best E-Ink tablets you can buy at the moment, and certainly the top pick if you want a writable table that also excels as an ereader. It provides a great reading and writing experience, thanks in part to its ability to access the entire Kindle ebook library, and it has handy Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox integration. Hisense S7N CanvasTV (65-inch) for $898 (31 percent off) : Hisense's spin on Samsung's Frame sets, the CanvasTV, comes in much cheaper and with a boatload of features. The S7N sports an anti-glare display and art mode, as you'd expect, but there's also 144Hz support for a bit of gaming. It also comes with a slim wall mount so you can hang it on your wall like a genuine work of art. (The 55-inch model is also a great deal at $689, and the 77-inch is down to $1,399.) Samsung The Frame Pro (65-inch) for $1,899 (14 percent off) : New for 2025, Samsung's Frame Pro sets offer brighter and higher-quality Mini LED panels for a superior TV watching experience. The 65-inch Frame Pro is a great option for most living rooms since it's large enough to deliver an immersive viewing experience, and it also comes with Samsung's wireless One Connect box for less cable clutter. While there's still no OLED Frame TV yet, this Mini LED set is the closest you'll get today. (If you're looking for something larger, the 75-inch Frame Pro is down to $2,699, and the 85-inch is $4,061.) What is Prime Day? Prime Day is Amazon's members-only shopping event, which means youll have to be a Prime subscriber on Prime Day to take advantage of most of the savings. Amazon still offers a 30-day free trial to new Prime subscribers, so you can start your free trial closer to July and participate in the event. When is Prime Day 2025? Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be back this year on July 8 through July 11. How often is Prime Day? Amazon Prime Day typically comes around annually in July. In the last few years, Amazon has also had its Big Deal Days in October, which is effectively a second Prime Day and the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. How does Prime Day work? Prime subscribers can go to Amazon's site on Prime Day to see all of the exclusive deals they have access to. Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you're not a Prime subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you'll likely see tons of items on sale but only with Prime; those discounts will not be available to those who are not active Prime subscribers. Is Prime Day only for Prime members? Technically yes, but even if you do not pay for a Prime membership, you should still check out Amazon on Prime Day. While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you'll see Prime exclusive on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members. Separately, its very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you're not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it's worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.

Water from Malabar Cements rock-blasting site to feed liquor plant in Kerala
PALAKKAD: In a pioneering move, a Kerala government-owned liquor manufacturing unit is planning to use purified water from quarries to produce Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) in its blending and bottling plant. The new plant is coming up at Malabar Distilleries in Menonpara, with waste water from the quarries of the state-owned Malabar Cements in Walayar set to be a key resource. Water extracted during rock-blasting operations for the production of raw materials at the Malabar Cements site is typically pumped out and discharged into the rivers nearby. It will now be purified and channelled into liquor production at the new government facility, in a strategic move to minimise waste and boost revenue. Malabar Cements currently pumps out 50,000 to 1,15,000 litres of excess water daily from its open-cast limestone quarry water that naturally accumulates during stone blasting and excavation. The Bevco authorities are planning to produce 13,500 cases of brandy a day once the fully-automated plant becomes operational by February 2026. Environmental sampling and analysis have deemed the water suitable for distillery use after proper purification, making it a resource-efficient alternative to conventional water supply. There are numerous huge quarries inside the Malabar Cements campus where an immense quantity of rainwater is also harvested, Malampuzha MLA A Prabhakaran told the TNIE . Water will never be a matter of concern for the upcoming unit at Menonpara, he said. Sources with the Malabar Cements confirmed the development and added that the government will decide the quantity of water to be transported from their campus. We have an immense amount of water stored here, the source said. Prabhakaran said the state government has no plans to use groundwater for the blending and bottling unit from where the authorities aim to produce brandy for the first time. The government has adopted a policy of not using groundwater for the project. The unit has a vast campus of 113 acres and we intend to introduce rainwater harvesting there. That itself will be sufficient for the blending and bottling purposes, the MLA said. Sources said the authorities never intended to depend on the groundwater at Menonpara. It tastes different. We dont think the groundwater from the area can be used for liquor production, even if it is treated, said a senior officer with Bevco. Officials see this as an innovative model for resource optimisation and revenue diversification, integrating two major public sector undertakings in a mutually beneficial initiative.

In the last one and a half years, it has become quite big almost every week, theres a new jamming event popping up, notes Giridhar Rai, founder of Bajabies, a jamming community, adding, Ive also seen a lot of cafes organising them because it increases footfall. A typical jam session involves a couple of musicians starting a song, with the rest of the crowd joining in spirited singing, like one big game of unstructured Antakshari. As Elvin Ady, one of the co-founders of Mic n Mehfil, explains, the appeal seems to be the jam sessions free-flowing format and inclusivity, regardless of musical abilities. To be honest, I am a horrible singer, but jam sessions are not just for people who sing but also for those who listen. Its about giving people a space to sing without any judgment. But what makes it different from an intimate concert or open mic? Anushka Modi, the co-founder of Maybe Its A Jam, shares, The engagement is much more than a usual band or concert, we make them feel like performers. These sessions and their warm environment have also helped people shed their inhibitions, notes Mamta Nayak, a frequent attendee, saying, The energy is such that you automatically start to sing, even shy people go up on stage and join in. Keeping in mind the diverse abilities and musical knowledge of their audiences, the playlist keeps changing. While the retro Bollywood or Bollywood hits from the 2000s and 2010s are popular choices, some have taken an offbeat route, organising Bhojpuri or Punjabi sessions too. According to Modi, Sufi music is quite popular even among young adults. The playlist we curate is impromptu and done with the view to encourage singing. So if someone starts singing DK Bose, we will just pick it up and sing together. The engagement is much more than a normal band or concert; we make them feel like they are all the performers, she adds. Despite the bend towards single youth, families and older people too are spotted at these events. One group consists of young peoplebetween 20 and 25 who lovemusic and want to perform, while another is people in their 50s or retirees who come for events to listento old Hindi songs, sing along and dance together, notes Ady. Organisers note that while college-goers and young professionals make up most of the crooners, these sessions are particularly popular among those who have recently moved to the city. Many who have just landed in the city recently and dont know a lot of people are just going out to find people who share their love for music, and to seek a different experience from going out to bars or restaurants, says Rai. While not catering only to professional musicians, these events draw a lot of them in, with Modi noting that some bands have been born from these sessions. We have seen multiple groups [of strangers] getting formed by just hanging together. I love that theyve become a kind of family. Many have formed bands out of our sessions because their vibes just matched, she says.
