West Bengal CM Mamata launches Rs 8,000-crore local outreach drive ahead of 2026 Assembly polls
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday announced to launch a new programme namely Amader Para Amader Samadhan (Our Neighbourhood Our Solution). The program is aimed at addressing issues in various localities, both in urban and rural areas across the state. The project with an allocation of Rs 8,000 crore will commence from August 2 and be completed within 60 days. Banerjee said, We will be launching a small project 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan'. A dedicated task force will be formed, headed by the Chief Secretary, to monitor it. Task forces will be constituted at both district and state levels. Police will also be involved to maintain law and order and ensure smooth coordination and implementation. According to political observers, the government has decided to launch this new programme with an eye on the Assembly elections, due next year. Claiming that Amader Para, Amader Samadhan is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Chief Minister explained, Many times, we notice that there are small issues like setting up a tap or an electric pole that need attention in localities. We have provided electricity to many areas, but by chance, some places may have been left out. For such minor issues, we are taking up this programme. Even though it may seem small, the coverage is huge. The PM keeps talking about Atmanirbhar, but it doesnt translate into reality. The State has to do everything on its own, she added. The State Government officials will be present on the ground to listen to peoples concerns. Each centre will cover three booths, forming one unit per locality. With around 80,000 booths, the programme will take about two months to complete, Banerjee stated. We have sanctioned a special fund for this initiative. An amount of Rs 10 lakh will be allocated for every booth. In total, the Government will spend over Rs 8,000 crore on this programme, she announced.

Census 2027 | Preparation for digital data collection, caste enumeration on: MoS Nityanand Rai
NEW DELHI: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday announced that preparations for Census 2027 have started, with a two-day conference of Directors of Census Operations held earlier this month to discuss the roadmap. The ministry confirmed that the census will be conducted in two phases and will include digital data collection as well as caste enumeration. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai informed that a two-day conference was held in the national capital on July 3 and 4. The event was attended by Directors of Census Operations, senior officials from the Directorates of Census Operations, and officers from the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India. The Minister added that the conference focused on the roadmap for the upcoming Census and related activities. Key topics discussed included finalisation of the administrative unit framework, data collection through mobile applications, management and monitoring via the Census Management and Monitoring System (CMMS) portal, self-enumeration, training of census personnel, and other related matters. Rai also pointed out that the preparation for Census 2027 started with the publication of gazette notification dated June 16, 2025 expressing the intent of the Government to conduct a Population Census. The Central government earlier last month announced that the Population Census-2027 will be conducted in two phases, and for the first time, it will also include enumeration of castes. The MHA then made the announcement through a statememt mentioning that the census will follow different reference dates depending on the region, in accordance with logistical and climatic factors. It has been decided to conduct Population Census-2027 in two phases along with enumeration of castes, the MHA had then said. According to the MHA statement, the reference date for the Population Census-2027 will be 00:00 hours on March 1, 2027, for most parts of the country. But, for the Union Territory of Ladakh, and the non-synchronous snow-bound areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, the reference date will be 00:00 hours on October 1, 2026. This development marked a significant step in the preparation for the upcoming national census, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is now slated to be one of the most comprehensive data-gathering exercises undertaken by the Indian government. The Census of India is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act, 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990. The last Census of India was conducted in 2011 in two phases. Census 2021 was also proposed to be conducted in two phases in a similar manner with phase I during April-September 2020 and second phase in February 2021. All the preparations for the first phase of the Census to be conducted in 2021 were completed and field work was scheduled to begin in some States/UTs from April 1, 2020. But, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic across the country, the exercise was postponed.

Maharashtra Agriculture Minister sparks row by calling state government beggar
MUMBAI: Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate stirred controversy by referring to the Mahayuti-led state government as a eggar. While speaking about crop loan insurance, Kokate remarked that the state government charges only one rupee from farmers. The reality is that even a beggar does not accept one rupee as alms, but the state government is collecting it from farmers. This shows who is truly rich and who is the beggar, Kokate said. Later, he clarified that his statement was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion to target him politically. Responding to the controversy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said he had not seen Kokates statement directly but asserted that calling ones own government a beggar is inappropriate. The financial condition of Maharashtra is very good. It is one of the most progressive and developed states. We are the only state to increase investment in the agriculture sector. We have committed Rs 5,000 crore annually, a total of Rs 25,000 crore over the next five years. Moreover, Maharashtra has managed to keep its debt within permissible limits. Our fiscal deficit is only 3%, whereas other states have a deficit of 45%. There is no cause for concern about the state's financial status, Fadnavis said. Fadnavis slams Agriculture Minister for playing rummy during Assembly; Opposition releases two new videos Commenting on the video showing him allegedly playing online Junglee Rummy during an Assembly session, which sparked demands for his resignation from the opposition, Kokate said he has been a member of the Legislative Assembly for the past 25 years and is well aware of the House's rules and procedures. He claimed the video was misleading and that the game screen appeared while he was trying to check the news. If I am found guilty, I am ready to resign before the winter session of the Assembly. Let there be a fair investigation, the truth will come out. The opposition has no real issues, so they are blowing small matters out of proportion, Kokate said. NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar shared the video online and questioned Kokates explanation, saying, The clip is 45 seconds long. Who takes so much time to skip an advertisement ,even if we assume it was just an ad? In response, Kokate said, I am not very familiar with mobile phones and their functions, so it took me 45 seconds to skip the Junglee Rummy advertisement. I am not as clever as Rohit Pawar; thats why it took me longer. 'Don't know how to play rummy,' says Maharashtra minister; rejects resignation demand
