PM Modi launches two key farm schemes worth Rs 35,440 crore
NEW DELHI: Coinciding with the birth anniversary of Loknayak Jaiprakash Narayan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched two major agricultural schemes with a cumulative outlay of Rs 35,440 crore. He also appealed to the farmers to increase production to meet domestic and global demand. Launching the schemes at Pusa campus, the Prime Minister noted that farmers have a critical role to play in realising the vision of a developed India (Viksit Bharat) by 2047. The two schemes, Rs 24,000-crore Pradhan Mantri Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PM-DDKY) and a Rs 11,440-crore Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses are aimed at changing the fate of millions of farmers. The PM-DDKY aims to transform 100 low-performing agricultural districts based on the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) model. The scheme will focus on enhancing crop productivity, promoting crop diversification, improving irrigation and storage facilities, and ensuring credit access in the selected districts. In view of the new pulses mission, PM Modi urged farmers to increase cultivation acreage by 35 lakh hectares by 2030 to boost production and achieve self-reliance, targeting to raise production from the current 252.38 lakh tonne to 350 lakh tonnes by 2030-31, thereby reducing import dependency. Meanwhile, attacking the previous Congress government, the Prime Minister accused it of neglecting the farm sector, saying the Opposition party lacked vision for the crucial sectors growth. He also highlighted various measures taken over the last 11 years for the overall development of the agriculture and allied sectors. In the interest of farmers, we have taken several reforms, he said. Outlining achievements made during his governments tenure, PM Modi said farm exports have doubled, foodgrain production has increased by 900 lakh tonnes, and fruits and vegetables production has risen by 640 lakh tonne. He also noted that the recent reduction in goods and services tax (GST) rates has benefited rural India and farmers the most, with prices of farm machinery like tractors coming down. The Prime Minister also inaugurated projects valued at over Rs 5,450 crore in agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and food processing sectors, while laying the foundation stone for additional projects worth around Rs 815 crore. These projects included Artificial Insemination Training Center at Bengaluru and in Jammu & Kashmir; Centre of Excellence at Amreli and Banas; Establishment of IVF Lab in Assam under Rashtriya Gokul Mission; Milk Powder Plants at Mehsana, Indore and Bhilwara; Fish Feed Plant under Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana at Tezpur, Assam; Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters, Integrated Cold Chain, and Value Addition Infrastructure, among others. PM Modi also laid the foundation stone for several projects, including Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure (Irradiation) in Krishna, Andhra Pradesh; Trout Fisheries in Uttarakhand; Integrated Aqua Park in Nagaland; Smart and Integrated Fishing Harbour in Karaikal, Puducherry; and State-of-the-art Integrated Aquapark in Hirakud, Odisha, among others. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh and Minister of State for Agriculture Bhagirath Choudhary were present during the event.

Protests over Sabarimala gold-plating row signal start of election campaign in Pathanamthitta
PATHANAMTHITTA: A political storm has begun to sweep Pathanamthitta as protests by the youth wings of opposition parties over the Sabarimala gold-plating controversy have set the tone for the upcoming local body election campaign in the district. Violent demonstrations by the Youth Congress and the BJP's Yuva Morcha this week have reignited the Sabarimala issue, placing the ruling LDF on the defensive. For months, political observers had anticipated that Sabarimala, a religiously sensitive topic in the state, might return to the political spotlight. However, the recent protests over allegations of irregularities ties in the gold covering of idols in the revered shrine escalated faster than expected. Despite the LDF government's efforts to control the narrative through the Global Ayyappa Sangamam , the issue now appears to be shifting in favour of the opposition. Parallel campaigns by Hindutva groups under the Sabarimala Samrakshana Sangham, backed by Sangh Parivar outfits, have further intensified religious and political polarisation in the district. On Thursday, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal inaugurated the Viswasa Sangamam protest rally, an event the Congress is treating as the start of its election campaign, and signalled plans for wider demonstrations. He announced a group prayer of devotees, including participants from neighbouring southern states, and lashed out at the state government. If you are making it difficult for gods and devotees, this is our war preparations, which begin here. Lakhs of people from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will join hands with us, he said. 'I was given brass platings': Unnikrishnan Potti refutes allegations over gold-missing row in Sabarimala This was folthe lowed by Youth Congress' protest march to the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) office in Pathanamthitta alleging corruption in the Sabarimala temple gold-plating process. The march turned violent as protesters hurled coconuts at the building, shattering window panes, and clashed with police personnel. Opposition leader V D Satheesan has repeatedly visited Pathanamthitta in recent weeks and even trekked to Sabarimala once. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Satheesan accused the state government of suppressing dissent similar to the Centre and reiterated the demand for a thorough investigation into the alleged gold scandal. A strong protest will erupt across Kerala starting from Pathanamthitta, said Satheesan. The Congress has already completed the formation of ward-level committees following delimitation and is moving ahead with candidate selection for the local body elections. It also aims to avoid last-minute seat-sharing disputes that hurt the UDF's performance in the last polls. The UDF is on a comeback trail in Pathanamthitta. We reclaimed 8 of the 11 seats where by-elections were held in the past five years, said Satish Kochuparambil, president of the District Congress Committee. BJP senses opportunity The BJP is intensifying its campaign, hoping to leverage the Sabarimala issue to consolidate Hindu votes. The party has completed ward-level meetings and is currently conducting a door-to-door outreach drive until September 10. A series of senior leaders, including BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, are expected to visit the district in the coming days. BJP national executive member P K Krishnadas said the party is poised to make significant gains. Change will happen in Kerala. The BJP will make its presence felt in the local body elections and beyond, he said. Our target is to capture 25 panchayats, in addition to Tiruvalla municipality. The Sabarimala issue has clearly put the LDF on the back foot, said a senior leader. The NDA currently governs one municipality and three panchayats in the district. Meanwhile, the CPM-led LDF is facing renewed pressure as the Sabarimala issue threatens to reopen old wounds from the 2018 temple entry controversy, which had triggered widespread protests. However, LDF leaders maintain that the government will retain its political footing. Of Pathanamthitta's 53 panchayats, the LDF currently rules 35, and of the four municipalities, it holds Pathanamthitta and Adoor. With political temperatures rising and religious sentiments taking centre stage, Pathanamthitta has once again become a battleground ahead of the local body elections. The tug-of-war over Sabarimala is expected to dominate the campaign in the coming weeks.

In the Debut shortlist, central to Ramnath Goenkas vision of encouraging new voices and cultivating reading habits among the younger generation, the nominated books are: The Fertile Earth by Ruthvika Rao (Penguin), a rare take on class not viewed through an ideological lens; The Many Lives of Syeda X: The Story of an Unknown Indian by Neha Dixit (Juggernaut), profiling a marginalised womans erased history; and Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia by Sam Dalrymple (HarperCollins), which offers a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Partition. In the Non-Fiction shortlist are: The World After Gaza by Pankaj Mishra (Juggernaut), a lateral exploration of the Israel-Palestine conflict as 'a victim of the victim'; Mujibs Blunders: The Powers and The Plot Behind His Killing by Manash Ghosh (Niyogi Books), a reflective analysis of the assassination of Bangladeshs premier; The Remarkable Life of Irawati Karve by Urmilla Deshpande and Thiago Pinto Barbosa (Speaking Tiger), a retelling of the anthropologist and educationists extraordinary life; and Fallen City: A Double Murder, Political Insanity, and Delhis Descent from Grace by Sudeep Chakravarti, delving into the infamous Ranga-Billa case that shook Delhi nearly fifty years ago. Shortlisted in the Fiction category are: Tales from the Dawn-Lit Mountains by Subi Taba (Penguin), a fresh voice from the Northeast portraying tribal life; Heart Lamp (Penguin) by International Booker winner Banu Mushtaq; and The Girl with the Seven Lives by Vikas Swarup (Simon & Schuster), an innovatively structured, kitschy thriller by the internationally bestselling author. Winners of the 2025 RNGSS will be selected from the shortlist in a jury meeting today. The jury is chaired by author and former diplomat Pavan Varma, with author Githa Hariharan and economist Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Prime Ministers Economic Advisory Council. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony in Delhi on 28 November.
