Maharashtra: 2.09 Crore Voters to Determine Outcome for 258 Candidates in Phase III of Lok Sabha Elections A total of 2.09 crore voters will decide the fate of 258 candidates in 11 Lok Sabha constituencies in Maharashtra which will go to polls in the third phase on May 7. The last date for withdrawal of nominations was April 22. There are 13 candidates in the fray in Raigad constituency, 38 in Baramati, 31 in Osmanabad, 28 in Latur, 21 in Solapur, 32 in Madha, 20 in Sangli, 16 in Satara, nine in Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, 23 in Kolhapur, and 27 in Hatkanangale, as per official data. There are a total of 2,09,92,616 voters (1,07,64,741 male, 1,02,26,946 female and 929 third gender) and 23,036 polling centres across the 11 constituencies. The highlight of the third phase in Maharashtra will be the high-octane contest between Supriya Sule of the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) and her sister-in-law Sunetra Pawar of the rival NCP led by Sunetra's husband and deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in Baramati. There are also two royals, belonging to different branches of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's dynasty, in the fray.

Gandhi Slams Modi's Campaign, Alleges Electoral Vulnerability
Gandhi Slams Modi's Campaign, Alleges Electoral Vulnerability Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scared and knew that the ongoing general election was slipping out of his hands. Gandhi was speaking at a campaign rally here in support of Congress' candidate from Solapur, Praniti Shinde, and its ally NCP (SP)'s Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil who is contesting from the neighbouring Madha Lok Sabha constituency. ''Justice needs to be done. Modi has made India the capital of injustice. He is scared as he knows that the election is slipping out of his hands. Due to the electoral bond theft, he knows he will be in trouble after the elections. This is the reason he is continuously speaking lies. But he can not get away this time,'' the Congress leader said. People have realised that they have to protect democracy and the Constitution, and the prime minister was aware of this, he added. Modi was a ''leader of billionaires'' and not of the poor, Gandhi further claimed. The prime minister states that he belongs to the Other Backward Class, but when the Congress demanded a caste census, he started saying there is no caste in India, and there are only the rich and the poor, the Congress leader said. ''If that is so, why does he call himself an OBC,'' Gandhi asked. The 2024 Lok Sabha election is not a routine election, he said, claiming that the BJP wanted to scrap the Constitution. ''Its objective is not just to win elections, but destroy the Constitution. The INDIA alliance will save our democracy and protect the Constitution,'' the Congress leader said. BJP MPs have said in public that the Constitution will be changed if their party wins another term, and without the Constitution nothing will be left for the poor, farmers and labourers, Gandhi said. The Modi government waived loans of Rs 16 lakh crore of a handful of billionaires, he alleged, adding that this amount could have funded farm loan waiver, or the MNREGA scheme for 24 years. ''Seventy crore population in the country has the same amount of wealth as that held by a handful of billionaires,'' Gandhi claimed. Unemployment was at an all time high because one percent of the population owns 40 percent of the wealth in the country, the Congress leader said, adding that if the INDIA bloc is voted to power, it will create ''crores of lakhpatis.'' ''The Mahalaxmi scheme (in the Congress manifesto) will provide one lakh rupees every year, which is Rs 8,500 every month, to the women from poor households. Similarly, degree and diploma holders will get the right to apprenticeship in PSUs and other institutions for a year. During that time, they will also get Rs 1 lakh in their bank accounts which amounts to Rs 8,500 per month,'' Gandhi added. Demonetisation and the introduction of GST benefitted only a few billionaires, he claimed. ''Farmers wanted loan waiver and Minimum Support Price from Modi. But we will set up a separate commission for farmers which will recommend when they need a loan waiver, and accordingly, it will be done. Besides, when the INDIA alliance comes to power, farmers' loans will be waived in the first instance,'' he said. MSP for crops will be legally guaranteed, the Congress leader said. He also reiterated that apart from conducting a caste census, the INDIA alliance would carry out an economic survey to find out who holds how much wealth.

No difference between Putin and Modi, says Sharad Pawar
Mumbai: NCP founder Sharad Pawar on Sunday equated Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia. Mr. Pawar alleged that Modi is following Mr. Putins path by destroying Indias parliamentary democracy. He said that the BJP has not even fulfilled its manifesto promises made in the last Lok Sabha election, but still boasting about winning more than 400 seats. The NCP founder was on tour in Solapur district. He held a meeting at the residence of former deputy chief minister Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil at Akluj in Solapur. Mr. Pawar was accompanied by senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde along with other MVA leaders. They discussed the crucial seats of Madha and Solapur. Slamming PM Modi, Mr. Pawar said that the PM:s speeches are not suitable for the stature of his post. Mr. Modi is dishonouring the PMs post. The incumbent Prime Minister is not speaking about his plans. Instead of this, he raises questions on late Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehrus contribution. I listened to one of his speeches, in which he was asking not to let any opposition candidate get elected. In a democracy, the ruling party is as important as the opposition party. Taking such a stand - not allowing the opposition to get even a single seat means there is no difference between Russias Putin and Indias Mody, the 83-year-old leader said. Mr. Pawar also alleged that Mr. Modi is misusing central agencies including ED and CBI. Mr. Modi is destroying democracy and moving towards dictatorship, he said. Taking a dig at BJPs slogan 'Abki baar, 400 paar', Mr. Pawar sarcastically said that the party should give a slogan of 543 seats as the Lok Sabha has 543 seats. However, the political situation has been rapidly changing.l, he added.

Setback for BJP in Madha as Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil quits party ahead of LS polls In a big blow to Maharashtra's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit, Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil resigned from the party. He represented the Madha Lok Sabha constituency. According to reports, upset over not getting the ticket in the upcoming elections, he sent his resignation to BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule. The BJP chose sitting MP Ranjit Singh Naik Nimbalkar over him for the Madha seat. On Thursday, Patil met Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) party chief Sharad Pawar in Pune. The Madha constituency was formed in 2009 after delimitation and Sharad Pawar was the first Lok Sabha member elected from Madha in 2009.

MVA seals poll pact in Maharashtra; Sena (UBT) gets 21 seats
Mumbai: The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi on Tuesday announced its seat-sharing formula for the Lok Sabha polls with the Shiv Sena (UBT) getting the major chunk of 21 seats, while the Congress will contest 17 seats and the NCP (SP) 10. The Congress gave up its claim on the contentious Sangli and Bhiwandi seats, which will now be contested by the Sena (UBT) and the NCP (SP), respectively. While the Sena (UBT) said the goal of the alliance was to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress said it has decided to be large-hearted to achieve this objective. NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray and state Congress president Nana Patole announced the poll pact for the 48 parliamentary seats in the state after weeks of hectic negotiations. Addressing a press conference at 'Shivalaya', the Shiv Sena (UBT) office in south Mumbai, party head and former state chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said the seat-sharing deal has been reached and in an alliance, winning is important and defeating the BJP is the goal. When victory against the BJP is the larger goal, we have to set aside certain differences, he said when asked about the Shiv Sena (UBT) refusing to give Sangli seat to the Congress. Thackeray said there was a strange coincidence of surya grahan (solar eclipse), amavasya (new moon) and the BJP rally on the same day (Monday). Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech yesterday was not that of a prime minister. When we respond, please don't take it as an insult of the prime minister. Our criticism will be about a leader of a corrupt party, Thackeray said to a query on Modi referring to his party as fake Shiv Sena. It is not right for a leader of the party of extortionists to call us fake, he said. The BJP is a party of extortionists and this was seen after the electoral bonds scam was exposed, Thackeray claimed. Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole said his party has decided to be large-hearted to achieve the final goal of defeating PM Modi and the BJP. The Congress workers will fight the BJP and ensure victory of the MVA candidates in Sangli and Bhiwandi, he said. Our workers will never forget how the BJP ill-treated our leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, he said. Patole said the parties of Thackeray and Sharad Pawar were hijacked by rebels. Leaders of both the original parties are with us and Modi calls the Uddhav Thackeray-led party as fake Shiv Sena, he said. As part of the deal, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has got Jalgaon, Parbhani, Nashik, Palghar, Kalyan, Thane, Raigad, Maval, Osmanabad, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Buldhana, Hathkanangkale, Aurangabad, Shirdi, Sangli, Hingoli, Yavatmal-Washim, Mumbai South, Mumbai South Central, Mumbai North West and Mumbai North East seats. The Congress has got Nandurbar, Dhule, Akola, Amravati, Nagpur, Bhandara-Gondia, Gadchiroli-Chimur, Chandrapur, Nanded, Jalna, Mumbai North Central, Mumbai North, Pune, Latur, Solapur, Kolhapur and Ramtek seats. The NCP(SP) will contest Baramati, Shirur, Satara, Bhiwandi, Dindori, Madha, Raver, Wardhan, Ahmednagar South and Beed seats. The Lok Sabha polls will be held in the state in five phases from April 19 to May 20.
MVA Seat Sharing: Sena to get 21 seats, Congress 17 and NCP 10, say reports
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena is set to fight on 21 out of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in upcoming elections, with Congress fighting on 17 and Nationalist Congress Party getting the remaining 10. Of the four contentious seats, Shiv Sena will retain Sangli, while Congress will get Mumbai North. Besides Mumbai North, some of the main seats fought by Congress Party are Nandurbar, Dhule, Akola, Amaravati, Nagpur, Chandrapur, Nanded, Jalna, Mumbai North Central, Pune, Latur, Solapur and Kolhapur. Seat sharing talks among the three allies were thrown into disarray when Shiv Sena announced candidates to 21 out of the 48 seats, including seats such as Sangli, Mumbai South Central and Mumbai North West, which were also eyed by the Congress. The front was formed in Maharashtra, India after Shiv Sena and its ally Bharatiya Janata Party could not come to an understanding on sharing power, particularly with regard to the issue of rotating the post of chief minister. As a result, Shiv Sena -- led by Uddhav Thackeray, walked away from the decades-old alliance and tied up with its long-time rivals Indian National Congress and Nationalist Congress Party or NCP. While the government so formed was not expected to last very long, it surprisingly survived for three years, and was brought down by a rebellion led by Shiv Sena leader from Thane, Eknath Shinde. Another split, this time in NCP, further enriched the new, BJP-led alliance later that year. This was led by Ajit Pawar, the nephew of party president Sharad Pawar. Eventually, the speaker of the Maharashtra assembly recognized the breakaway group of Shiv Sena as the real Shiv Sena.

Congress will win all 5 seats in first phase of LS polls in Maharashtra: Patole
Congress will win all 5 seats in first phase of LS polls in Maharashtra: Patole The Maha Vikas Aghadi will win all the five constituencies going to polls in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra next month, state unit president Nana Patole said on Sunday. Addressing a press conference here, Patole claimed the people are fed up with the ''dictatorial'' BJP government at the Centre which will be thrown out of power in elections. The opposition MVA comprises Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray, Congress, and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar). Voting will be held for Nagpur, Gadchiroli-Chimur (ST), Bhandara-Gondiya, Chandrapur, and Ramtek (SC) seats which fall in the east Vidarbha region in the first phase on April 19. In four out of these five seats, the BJP and Congress are locked in a straight fight. Interestingly, Chandrapur was the only constituency won by Congress in Maharashtra in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Patole also claimed the situation is very good for Congress in all five constituencies. 97 candidates are in the fray for the first phase of elections in east Vidarbha region. Patole took potshots at BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis who had said that he would book an entire theatre for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to watch the recently-released movie ''Swatantra Veer Savarkar''. ''Films made on (Narendra) Modi, Nitin Gadkari, and Godse flopped like the recent movie on Veer Savarkar. Fadnavis should watch 'Munnabhai MBBS' based on Gandhian ideals. I will book a theatre for him,'' Patole added. He further said Rahul Gandhi's foot march across the length and breadth of the nation has been successful. ''Rahul has created a place in the minds of people. Instead of mocking Rahul, Fadnsvis (who holds the Home portfolio in the Maharashtra government) should pay attention to the deteriorating law and order situation in the state,'' the Congress leader added. Meanwhile, in a setback for the ruling Mahayuti alliance, former Shiv Sena MLA from Solapur South assembly segment, Dilip Mane, and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi leader from Latur, Jagdish Mali, joined the Congress in the presence of Patole. Notably, former Union minister Sushilkumar Shinde's MLA daughter Praniti Shinde is contesting the Lok Sabha election Congress nominee from Solapur. ''Mane is a former Congressman who has returned home,'' Sushilkumar Shinde said. He reiterated that the BJP had tried to make Praniti switch to the saffron party but didn't succeed.
VBA to announce decision regarding Maha Vikas Aghadi on Mar 27
Mumbai, Mar 26 (PTI) Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) will clear its stand on whether to join the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi or not on Wednesday. The working committee of VBA will hold a meeting on Tuesday night, and our chief Prakash Ambedkar will announce a decision on Wednesday at his home district Akola regarding whether to join hands with the MVA or not, Siddharth Mokle, chief spokesperson and state vice president of VBA, told reporters. The Maha Vikas Aghadi comprises the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar). Notably, the VBA has been trying hard to forge an alliance with the MVA to challenge the BJP-led NDA. Mokle claimed a false picture is being portrayed to show that VBA was responsible for the delay by MVA in finalising a seat-sharing formula for Lok Sabha elections. The VBA was constantly making statements and informing its supporters about the progress in the seat-sharing formula. The MVA constituents have a dispute over 15 parliamentary constituencies. While Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) are at loggerheads in 10 seats, all three parties have staked claims on the remaining five seats, he added. The VBA had damaged the prospects of UPA candidates in Nanded, Solapur, Hatkanangale, Beed, Parbhani and Sangli seats, to name a few, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, which ultimately helped NDA.

Dynasties, old rivalries give BJP-led ruling alliance and Oppn MVA headaches in western Maharashtra
Dynasties, old rivalries give BJP-led ruling alliance and Oppn MVA headaches in western Maharashtra The ruling BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP alliance and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi are facing multiple problems in Lok Sabha seats like Sangli, Madha and Satara in western Maharashtra due to political dynasties, old rivalries and one-upmanship, prompting a flurry of meetings before five phase polls begin in the state on April 19. In Sangli, a Congress stronghold from 1962 to 2014 before NCP-turned-BJP leader Sanjaykaka Patil wrested it in 2014, the grand old party is seemingly getting short-changed by the decades-old rivalry between Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and former state chief minister late Vasantdada Patil, a political observer claimed. Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole announced the name of Vishal Patil for Sangli seat some days ago, but Uddhav Thackeray, chief of ally Shiv Sena (UBT), unilaterally declared wrestler Chandrahar Patil as his party's candidate. Vishal Patil is a descendent of former Maharashtra chief minister Vasantdada Patil, against whom NCP founder Sharad Pawar rebelled and got the state's top post in 1978, due to which the two families have been adversaries, the political observer added. ''In 2019, there was large-scale disappointment against BJP MP Sanjaykaka Patil and Sharad Pawar was aware of it. But due to this political rivalry, Pawar convinced the state Congress leaders to give Sangli Lok Sabha seat to Swabhimani Paksha, a little-known party in the region. Vishal Patil, who was supposed to be fight on a Congress ticket, had to contest on the lesser known Swabhimani Paksh symbol (cricket bat) and lost. But, he still got three lakh votes against Sanjakaka's five lakh,'' a close aide of Vishal Patil said. ''This time, Shiv Sena (UBT), which used to have only one MLA, has already announced its candidate without consulting Congress. Such steps mean giving a cake-walk to the BJP candidate,'' the aide claimed. Defending Thackeray's move, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said his party had won both Lok Sabha seats in Kolhapur district in 2019. ''We gave both seats, Kolhapur and Hatkanangale, to Congress and farmer leader Raju Shetti, respectively. Now, if we don't fight from Sangli, we will not have any seat in western Maharashtra,'' Raut said. In Satara, the ruling BJP and NCP are facing issues due to the problem between Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Bhosale won the seat in 2019 on a NCP ticket and then lost the bypolls after he switched to the BJP. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha but is keen to contest again. However, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP has laid claim to the seat and is fine with Bhosale contesting on its 'clock' symbol. ''Bhosale, who has not been on good terms with Ajit Pawar, is not keen on this arrangement as this would mean accepting the Deputy CM's leadership. Secondly, traditional BJP voters will not vote for him. Moreover, as an NCP candidate, Bhosale would lose the protection of the mighty BJP,'' the political observer added. In Madha Lok Sabha seat, which comprises four assembly segments from Solapur and two from Satara, there is a tussle for dominance between various political dynasties, leaving the BJP confused. The prominent Ramraje Nimbalkar family from the Phaltan assembly segment in Satara district and Vijaysinh Mohite Patil family from the Malshiras assembly seat in Solapur have expressed their displeasure over BJP giving sitting MP Ranjitsinh Naik Nimbalkar a ticket. Ramraje is currently a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council from Ajit Pawar-led NCP, while Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil's son Ranjitsinh is a BJP MLC. A video of Ramraje Naik-Nimbalkar addressing a gathering, in which he is pitching for change in candidate, has gone viral. Other moves in the run up to the polls included Jayant Patil of the Peasant and Workers Party, which has a strong base in Sangola (part of Madha LS seat), meeting Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil. Jayant Patil later told reporters the result of Madha may be ''surprising''. Unfazed, Ranjitsinh Naik-Nimbalkar claimed he was trying to build a consensus and was confident of people's support. The BJP also has its share of worries because the Mohite-Patil family, which has long-standing ties with the Congress and then with the NCP since its inception, is now discontent with the ruling party, the political observer added. He claimed the family, in order to maintain control over the district, is thinking of jumping back to the NCP (SP). Sharad Pawar recently met Vijaysinh Mohite Patil, the political observer pointed out. ''Moreover, some segments of voters believe Madha seat has four assembly segments from Solapur and, hence, the candidate should be from the district,'' he said. ''It reflects the BJP's failure to groom leadership in the region despite being in power for 10 years. The BJP in the early years used to denounce such political dynasties like the Mohite-Patils of Solapur or Naik-Nimbalkars of Phaltan Satara,'' senior political observer Prakash Akolkar of Mumbai said. ''BJP used to criticise the Congress. Now such families are with the BJP and the party leadership is dragging itself behind them,'' he said.

Maharashtra Govt Renames Ahmednagar District to Ahilya Nagar: A Tribute to Queen Ahilya Bai Holkar
In a significant move, the Maharashtra government has decided to rename its largest district, Ahmednagar. The district, renowned as the 'Land of Saints', will now be known as Ahilya Nagar, in tribute to the Maratha queen Ahilya Bai Holkar. The decision to rename Ahmednagar district as Ahilya Nagar district was officially approved by the Maharashtra cabinet on Wednesday, March 13. The announcement to rename the historic district was made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on the birth anniversary of Ahilya Bai Holkar last year, on May 31. The decision aims to honor the esteemed figure who left an indelible mark on history. Ahilya Bai Holkar, hailed as one of the most visionary female rulers of independent India, was the Queen of the Maratha Malwa kingdom. She was known for her profound commitment to dharma and her contributions to the societal and industrial development of early-modern India. Ahilya Bai's legacy includes the establishment of temples, dharmshalas (public rest houses), and the promotion of industrialization. Notably, she pioneered the textile industry in Maheshwar, famous for its Maheshwari sarees. One of her remarkable contributions was towards the renovation and repair of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in the 1780s, as highlighted by the government website 'Indian Culture'. Ahmednagar, founded in 1494 AD by Ahmad Nizam Shah I, served as the capital of the Ahmadnagar sultanate. Over the centuries, it evolved into a major economic and political hub in the Deccan region. During the 17th century, Ahmednagar came under the control of Emperor Akbar and later, the Maratha empire under Shivaji Maharaj. The city witnessed numerous conflicts, including Maratha-Mughal and Anglo-Maratha wars. In the British era, Ahmednagar district was part of the Bombay Presidency. Christian missionaries, primarily from the USA, arrived in the district in the early 19th century after the British Parliament granted permission for proselytizing in areas under the control of the East India Company. Several administrative changes occurred over the years, including the exclusion of Wani and Karmala from Ahmednagar due to the formation of Nashik and Solapur districts in 1869. Furthermore, in February 1981, the Ahmednagar District of Pune Revenue Division became part of the new revenue department Nashik. The decision to rename Ahmednagar district to Ahilya Nagar district reflects the government's acknowledgment of historical figures and their contributions, ensuring their legacy endures for generations to come.

Solapur zilla parishad revamps school kitchens to improve standard of mid-day meals
Solapur zilla parishad revamps school kitchens to improve standard of mid-day meals In an attempt to enhance nutritional standards of mid-day meals and ensure they are cooked in hygienic conditions, the zilla parishad in Maharashtra's Solapur district has started an initiative to revamp school kitchens and allocated Rs 2.5 crore in its budget for this purpose. The zilla parishads ''Amrit Rasoi'' initiative will ensure that school kitchens are equipped with appliances, dining tables, water purifiers, gas cylinders, utensils and other essential paraphernalia, an official said. A total of 1,500 schools that come under the zilla parishad will be covered in the programme, which has already been implemented on a pilot basis in 30 to 40 schools in Karmala tehsil, said Manoj Raut, the block development officer (BDO) of Karmala. Solapur zilla parishad's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Manisha Awahle started the endeavour after she saw the neglected state of kitchens and the substandard conditions in which food was prepared during her inspection visits to schools. The zilla parishad recently allocated Rs 2.5 crore for the Amrit Rasoi project. Talking to PTI, Awahle said, ''I found that kitchens lacked necessary utensils, basic appliances like refrigerators, mixer grinders, and water purifiers. I was especially concerned to see vegetables stored at the houses of helpers in the absence of proper storage facilities.'' Unsettled by these conditions, she stressed the need for equipping school kitchens with essential amenities during coordination meetings with district officials. She urged officials at the panchayat samiti level to prioritise revamping kitchens. In this project, the emphasis will be on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene by keeping infestation at bay in the kitchen area. ''To enhance the dining experience, we are focusing on setting up dining tables so that students don't have to sit on the floor to eat,'' Awahle said. While it costs around Rs 1 lakh to set up a basic kitchen, each school has been granted Rs 3 lakh to create dining areas as well, she said. Karmala BDO Raut, who took the lead in implementing the project, said he selected several schools in his area and revamped their kitchens with the help of available funds and support from the gram panchayat. Vilas Siral, the headmaster of a primary school in Khadki village where the school kitchen has been revamped, said that earlier, storing vegetables and eggs was a challenge without a refrigerator. ''Thanks to Raut sir and the zilla parishad, we can now store vegetables for longer periods. In addition to the refrigerator, we have also been provided utensils, aprons, caps, sanitisers, and cleaning materials to ensure the kitchen remains clean,'' he said. Ranjana Unde, the village development officer of Khadki, said that the gram panchayat supplied a refrigerator, gas stoves, a mixer-grinder, utensils, a pressure cooker, plates, glasses and spoons. ''The total cost of these items was Rs 76,000, and we are committed to supporting the school to ensure that the nutritional aspect is prioritised,'' Unde said.

7 out of 10 people are unhappy with their salary! What is the least desire of the youth of India?
A report from HR World has come out. It has been said that most of the people in India are not happy with their current salary. What do youth in India want from companies? How much do you earn, are you happy with it? Answering this question, 27-year-old PriyaKumari, living in MayurVihar, Delhi, told ABP Live that she does not get paid as much as the amount of work her company gets done. 35-year-old Vijay Jha also believes the same. Vijay says that he has been working in a company for the last 4 years. There they are given an increment of 5 to 6 percent every year. This increment is so low that in the last 4 years, his salary has increased by only Rs 12 thousand. Like Priya and Vijay, there are lakhs of youth in the country who are not happy with their current salary. Recently a report by HR World has come out. It has been said that 7 out of every 10 people in India are not happy with their current salary. At the same time, five out of 10 employees believe that salary is an important part of them. Not only this, another report by staffing firm Adecco has come this year, according to which 21 percent of employees in India and 9 percent in Malaysia want a 20% increase in their salary. According to a report of 'Adecco India Salary Guide 2024', 91 percent of employees in India and 72 percent of employees in Malaysia expect to increase their salary by at least 20% while changing jobs. So will Indian companies improve their pay scales? The Future of Pay in India 2022 released a survey in which many companies were asked whether they were thinking of improving the pay scale of their employees. 90 percent of the companies surveyed said that they are thinking of improving their pay scale in the coming 12 months. Whereas 88% of the companies say that they will work on paying salaries to their employees on time. Salary increase in India is highest in Asia You will be surprised to know that the salary increase in India is the highest compared to other countries in Asia Pacific. It is estimated that this year 024 employees working in Vietnam may get a hike of 8%. It is expected that there will be a hike of 6% in China, 5.7% in Philippines and 5% in Thailand. However, Indian companies can give a hike of more than 10 percent in the performance base appraisal this year. Last year, in 2023, more than 50 percent of the employees in India got a hike of between 5 to 10 percent due to performance base appraisal, while 15 percent of people got a hike of more than 20 percent in salary. Also, know the average salary of people in rural and urban areas in India. According to a report by ICICI Securities, the monthly average income of a salaried person working in urban areas of India was Rs 20,030 in the second quarter of FY 2022. Which was increased to Rs 21,647 in the first quarter of FY 2023. According to a report of the Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS), a person working as a daily wage labourer in urban areas of India was given a wage of Rs 385 per day till the second quarter of the financial year 2021. However, their wages were also increased to Rs 464 per day in the first quarter of the financial year 2023. The average income of salaried employees in rural areas of India stood at Rs 14,700 per month over the 18 months ending in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. However, the daily wages of daily wage labourers in rural areas have increased from Rs 302 per day in the second quarter of FY 2021 to Rs 368 per day in the first quarter of FY 2023. Where do you get the highest salary? Many people feel that employees working in metros or big cities get higher salaries.
