SMAT 2026: Jharkhand open title defence with win; Saurashtra, Andhra, Gujarat register victories
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) Defending champions Jharkhand began their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title defence on Saturday with a six-wicket win over Mizoram, while Saurashtra, Andhra and Gujarat also registered victories on day one of the league stage. At Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Jharkhand needed just 8.3 overs to complete a chase of 77. Jharkhands bowlers, led by Harsh Rajs 3-16, were disciplined in bundling out Mizoram for 76. Chinmay Sutar, who had a prolific first half of the Ranji Trophy season, including hitting an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland, made only 19 off 15 balls. For Mizoram, there was nowhere to hide once their innings folded at a modest total. Utkarsh Singh made 45 not out off 26 balls, laced with five fours and three sixes, as Jharkhand wrapped up the chase despite losing four batters. At the Holkar Stadium in Indore, Vaibhav Sooryavanshis first match as Bihars captain ended in defeat. Saurashtra, playing in their Elite Group B game, chased down 138 with 21 balls to spare, winning by five wickets. Bihar, who chose to bat after winning the toss, finished on 137/9. Prithvi Raj top-scored with 38 off 27 deliveries, hitting four sixes, while Altamish contributed 24. Sooryavanshi, who was the centrepiece of attention of the sparse crowd in the stadium, made a 12-ball 18 before being dismissed caught and bowled by left-arm seamer Chetan Sakariya. For Saurashtra, Sakariya returned with 3-33 in his four overs, while Prerak Mankad was even tighter, finishing with 3-20. Skipper Jaydev Unadkat and Krains Fuletra each picked up a wicket. Harvansh Singh set the tone for Saurashtras chase with 33 off just 11 balls, studded with three fours and three sixes, while Harvik Desai made 21. Ruchit Ahir and Sidhant Rana remained unbeaten on 21 each as the target was reached in 16.3 overs. Suraj Kashyap was the best bowler for Bihar with 3-39, while Sakariya was adjudged Player of the Match. It was a forgettable start to the captaincy stint for Sooryavanshi, who is also slated to join the India A team for the Rising Stars Mens Asia Cup, to be played in Doha from November 19 to 29. In an Elite Group C fixture in New Chandigarh, Andhra defeated Tripura by 43 runs. Batting first, Andhra could manage only 141/9 in their 20 overs, with SNDV Prasad hitting an unbeaten 33-ball fifty. But that proved to be enough as Tripura were dismissed for 98 in 17.2 overs. Pacers Cheepurapalli Stephen and KV Sasikanth took three wickets each for Andhra, as Tripuras batters fell without showing any fighting spirit and failed to bat out their full quota of overs. At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, riding a late surge from Ashutosh Sharma (20 not out off nine balls) and Vishal Jayswal (22 not out off eight balls), Gujarat posted 250/9, enough to secure a 21-run victory. Skipper Urvil Patel hit a blistering 30-ball 62, including six fours and four sixes, while debutant spin-bowling all-rounder Khilan Patel, who was a member of the India team that won this years Mens U-19 World Cup, smashed a fluent 84 off just 29 balls, including six fours and eight sixes. For Odisha, Lalit Yadav and Debabrata Pradhan starred with the ball, each scalping three wickets. Despite a 49-ball 87 from Subhranshu Senapati and Kartik Biswals 32-ball 55, Odisha fell short of the target, finishing at 229/8. Left-arm pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla picked 4-50, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi took 2-37 in his four overs.

PM Surya Ghar : J&Ks additional solar subsidy among lowest
UT offers Rs 3,000 per kW subsidy, up to Rs 9,000 for 3 kW Several States offer substantially higher financial assistance Srinagar, Nov 13: As the Centre pushes rooftop solar adoption across the country under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, Jammu and Kashmir is offering a relatively modest additional subsidy to consumers, with the Union Territory's contribution capped at Rs 9,000 for a three-kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar system. A comparative statement accessed by Rising Kashmir regarding additional state subsidies shows that J&K provides Rs 3,000 per kW up to a maximum capacity of three kW, while several other States and Union Territories are extending considerably higher financial assistance to encourage households to switch to solar energy. The difference becomes evident when compared with other regions. Nagaland offers Rs 50,000 for systems up to three kW, while Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep provide Rs 45,000 per kW for the first two kW and Rs 27,000 for the additional one kW. Delhi provides Rs 26,000 per kW up to three kW, taking its additional subsidy to Rs 78,000. Odisha offers Rs 25,000 per kW for the first two kW and Rs 10,000 for the additional one kW, taking the total to Rs 60,000 for a three-kW system. Similarly, Goa provides Rs 20,000 per kW for the first two kW and Rs 22,500 per kW for additional capacity up to 10 kW for residential consumers. Ladakh offers Rs 20,000 per kW for the first two kW and Rs 10,000 for the additional one kW, taking its additional assistance to Rs 50,000 for a three-kW system. Other states also provide varying levels of support. Uttar Pradesh offers Rs 15,000 per kW up to two kW, while Chhattisgarh provides Rs 15,000 per kW up to two kW for residential consumers. Bihar offers Rs 10,000 per kW, capped at Rs 20,000 per consumer. Under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, the Central Government provides financial assistance to eligible residential consumers for installing rooftop solar systems. Jammu and Kashmir, being a special-category region, is entitled to central assistance of Rs 33,000 per kW for the first two kW and Rs 19,800 for the additional one kW, taking the maximum central subsidy to Rs 85,800 for a three-kW system. With the UT's additional contribution of Rs 9,000, an eligible consumer in J&K can receive total financial assistance of up to Rs 94,800 for a three-kW installation. The scheme aims to enable one crore households across the country to generate electricity through rooftop solar installations and receive up to 300 units of free electricity every month. The comparatively lower additional contribution by J&K, however, brings into focus the scope for enhancing the UT's support to make rooftop solar installations more affordable for households and encourage wider adoption of renewable energy, particularly at a time when the Valley faces increased electricity demand during winter.

INSV Hariyal sets sail from Goa to Sri Vijaya Puram to commemorate ancient Kalinga maritime heritage
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 13 (IANS) The Indian Navy's 40-foot ocean-going sailing vessel, INSV Hariyal, has embarked on a 1,600-nautical-mile expedition from Goa to Sri Vijaya Puram in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to commemorate the historic Southeast Asian voyages undertaken by ancient mariners from Kalinga (present-day Odisha) during Kartik Purnima. Highlighting the significance of the voyage, the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) stated that the expedition evokes India's age-old maritime links with Southeast Asia and the legacy of navigating with seasonal monsoon winds. Celebrating this rich heritage, the voyage will hone seamanship and professional competence, test endurance and resilience, foster camaraderie and promote sailing as a sport and a culture of adventure, while encouraging a vibrant sailing culture in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Command added. Over 2,500 years ago, Sadhabas (mariner merchants from Kalinga) sailed across the Bay of Bengal aboard large wooden ships known as boitas, transporting spices, textiles, ivory, and precious stones to Sri Lanka and distant Southeast Asian ports including Bali, Java, and Sumatra. Relying on seasonal wind patterns, these mariners departed as the southwest monsoon subsided, using the calm full moon of Kartik Purnima as their traditional launch date before returning with the northeast monsoon. In Odisha, this maritime heritage continues to be observed during Kartik Purnima through Boita Bandana (also known as Danga Bhasa), where people gather along rivers, ponds, and coastal shores at dawn to float miniature decorative boats crafted from paper, banana bark, or cork, adorned with betel leaves, betel nuts, flowers, and earthen lamps. The tradition is also celebrated through Bali Jatra, a major annual open-air fair held on the banks of the Mahanadi River at Gadagadia Ghat in Cuttack. Named after the yellow-footed green pigeon, the state bird of Maharashtra, INSV Hariyal is one of six ocean-going sailing yachts operated by the Indian Navy alongside INSV Mhadei, Tarini, Bulbul, Kadalpura, and Neelkanth. The vessel is regularly deployed for adventure expeditions, coastal awareness drives, and personnel training in navigation, seamanship, and communication. Its previous missions include the 2020 'Maha-Navy Connect' coastal awareness voyage along Maharashtra's ports, a 2022 overseas training deployment to Trincomalee Port in Sri Lanka alongside four sister vessels, and participation in the 2024 Inter-Command Ocean Sailing Race in Goa, where it represented the Eastern Naval Command and the Andaman and Nicobar Command.
