Centre clears major small hydro push, J&K among key beneficiaries
New Delhi, April 26: The Union government has approved a Rs 2,584.60 crore Small Hydro Power (SHP) Development Scheme to strengthen Indias energy security and expand clean power generation, with a strong focus on hilly regions such as Jammu & Kashmir. Cleared by the Union Cabinet for the period 202627 to 203031, the scheme aims to add around 1,500 MW of small hydro capacity nationwide, improving electricity access in remote and difficult terrains while advancing the countrys transition to a sustainable energy mix. Officials said small hydro projectsdefined as installations of up to 25 MWprovide reliable, round-the-clock power, unlike intermittent sources such as solar and wind. The initiative seeks to promote decentralised energy generation by harnessing locally available water resources, reducing dependence on conventional fuels and long-distance transmission networks. Indias total small hydro potential is estimated at 21,133.61 MW across more than 7,000 sites, of which about 5,171 MW has been developed so far. A substantial share of the untapped potential lies in northern and northeastern states, including Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, making them central to the schemes rollout. To improve project viability, particularly in challenging geographies, the scheme offers targeted financial incentives. Projects in northeastern states and international border districts will receive central assistance of up to Rs 3.6 crore per MW or 30 per cent of the project cost, subject to a ceiling of Rs 30 crore per project. For other regions, support will be up to Rs 2.4 crore per MW or 20 per cent of project cost, capped at Rs 20 crore. Additionally, Rs 30 crore has been earmarked for preparing Detailed Project Reports for at least 200 projects to ensure a steady development pipeline. The initiative is expected to attract investments of around Rs 15,000 crore and promote the use of indigenous equipment, supporting domestic manufacturing and the broader goal of self-reliance. During the construction phase, the scheme is projected to generate approximately 51 lakh person-days of employment, with further long-term opportunities in operation and maintenance, particularly in rural and remote areas. Officials emphasised that small hydro projects are environmentally sustainable due to their minimal land requirements, low ecological impact and long operational life. Many operate as run-of-the-river systems, generating electricity without the need for large dams. The government underscored the strategic importance of small hydro in ensuring grid stability and resilience as India expands its renewable energy capacity. With a significant portion of potential located in mountainous regions, the scheme is expected to benefit areas like Jammu & Kashmir by enhancing local energy access, reducing transmission losses and supporting regional development. The scheme forms part of broader efforts to diversify Indias renewable energy portfolio and accelerate progress towards a low-carbon, self-reliant energy future, while delivering socio-economic benefits to underserved regions.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullahs interaction with filmmakers in Bengaluru is part of a welcome government effort to bring back film-makers to Kashmir in greater numbers. Jammu and Kashmir and Indian cinema share a long, emotional and culturally rich relationship, one that deserves to be revived with renewed energy. For decades, Kashmir has been the favoured location of Hindi cinema, and to a lesser extent for the movies from South. Its lakes, gardens, meadows and mountains gave Indian films some of their most memorable imagery. From Raj Kapoors Barsaat in 1949 to the romance-filled musicals of later decades, Kashmir was not just a backdrop. It became part of the storytelling itself. Generations of Indians first encountered the Valleys beauty through the silver screen. That relationship was disrupted after militancy erupted in 1989. As security concerns grew, filmmakers moved elsewhere. Switzerland, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and foreign destinations replaced Kashmir. Films about Kashmir continued to be made, but often focused on conflict rather than everyday life, culture and beauty. A place once associated with romance became tied to headlines of unrest. Today, circumstances have changed. Security has improved, infrastructure has expanded, and the government has introduced policies that make shooting easier. Major productions featuring stars such as Shah Rukh Khan and directors like Rohit Shetty have already returned to the Valley in recent years. Their positive experiences should encourage others to follow. The return of filmmakers is not only about nostalgia. It makes strong economic sense. A film shoot creates jobs for local drivers, hoteliers, caterers, craftsmen, technicians and transport operators. It also boosts tourism. When audiences watch songs filmed on Dal Lake or scenes shot in Gulmarg, Pahalgam or Sonamarg, they see a welcoming Kashmir. Tourism numbers often rise when destinations are featured on screen. Yet attracting filmmakers requires facilitation from the government in addition to the local facilities. These can help transform Kashmir from an occasional location into a regular filmmaking hub. And to this end, the CMs meeting with South Indian filmmakers is a welcome outreach effort. With better infrastructure, simpler clearances and active promotion, Kashmir can attract filmmakers in far greater numbers in the years ahead.

Census 2027 to be Indias first fully digital population count, caste data to be included
India is set to undertake its first-ever digital Census in 2027, marking a major shift in how the country collects and processes population data, reports Press Information Bureau. The exercise, backed by an outlay of 11,718.24 crore, will also include caste enumeration for the first time since Independence, following a decision by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs in April 2025. The Census, conducted under the provisions of the Census Act 1948, remains one of the largest administrative exercises in the world. Census 2027 will be the 16th such exercise overall and the eighth since Independence. The last Census due in 2021 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first time, enumerators will use mobile applications for data collection, replacing traditional paper-based methods. The government has also developed a dedicated Census Management and Monitoring System to track progress in near real-time at district, state and national levels. A key citizen-centric feature is the option for self-enumeration through an online portal, allowing households to submit their data before the enumerators visit. Officials say this will help speed up the process and improve accuracy. The use of geo-referenced mapping tools and satellite imagery for creating enumeration blocks is also expected to ensure complete coverage without duplication. Two-phase exercise The Census will be conducted in two phases. The first phase, the Houselisting and Housing Census, will take place between April and September 2026, capturing details on housing conditions, assets and amenities. The second phase, Population Enumeration, is scheduled for February 2027 and will record detailed demographic, socio-economic and cultural information. It will also include caste enumeration, a politically significant addition to the exercise. For snow-bound regions such as Ladakh and parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the population count will be conducted earlier, in September 2026. The reference date for the Census has been fixed as March 1, 2027. Officials have emphasised that data confidentiality will remain a key pillar of the exercise. Under existing law, individual data collected during the Census cannot be shared publicly, used in court, or disclosed under the RTI Act. The government has also put in place a robust digital security system, including encrypted data transmission and storage in secure data centres designated as Critical Information Infrastructure, compliant with global standards. Preparations are already underway, including a nationwide pre-test conducted in 2025 covering around 5,000 census blocks. Administrative boundaries have been frozen as of January 1, 2026, to ensure consistency. The exercise will involve nearly 31 lakh enumerators and supervisors, along with over one lakh officials. More than 80,000 training sessions are being organised to equip them with digital tools and procedures. Officials estimate that the Census operations will generate over one crore man-days of employment. Experts note that Census data remains critical for governance, helping shape policies on welfare, infrastructure, healthcare and resource allocation. With the addition of digital tools and caste data, Census 2027 is expected to provide more granular and timely insights. The government says the exercise will strengthen evidence-based policymaking and ensure that development programmes are better targeted to meet the needs of Indias diverse population.
