5,500 Annapurna Bhawans to have fair price shops, common service centres
Lucknow: Around 5,500 upcoming 'Annapurna Bhawans' will be a blend of fair price shops and common service centres (CSC) provisioning essential govt and non-govt services to citizens in rural and urban centres of Uttar Pradesh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The key feature will be the hallmark of these centres which would be constructed across all districts – the state govt plans to set up at least 75 Annapurna Bhawans in each district. The development comes a week after the cabinet gave its nod to step up the construction of Annapurna Bhawan by utilizing funds and sources other than Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS). These centres may now be set up using MP/MLA Local Area Development Fund, tourism development fund, Bundelkhand Vikas Nidhi or any other govt-approved scheme. The feature comes as an add-on after the successful implementation of PM Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana, Centre's flagship scheme that was put in place at the peak of coronavirus pandemic. The state govt has already set up around 3,500 Annapurna Bhawans. "Another 2,000 are in the pipeline," food and civil supplies minister Satish Sharma told TOI. Currently, there are around 80,000 fair price shops in the state. Sharma said that selected shops would be shifted to Annapurna Bhawan free of cost. "The objective of the scheme is to improve the accessibility of fair price shops and ensure their transparent operation," he said. In a communique to all divisional commissioners, principal secretary, food and civil supplies, Ranveer Prasad said that each Annapurna Bhawan would be constructed over an area of around 484 sq feet. The shop will comprise two sections – one for the fair price shop, the other for CSC. These centres will also have a 96 sq ft verandah, which would serve as a waiting area.

The district administration will choose the working agency – gram panchayat in rural and development authority in urban areas.

Chief election commissioner defends India's electoral roll transparency at international conference
Chief election commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar NEW DELHI: In a first but indirect rejoinder to Rahul Gandhi's allegations regarding lack of transparency in Maharashtra roll updation, chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar underscored the statutory sharing of electoral roll with all recognised political parties year after year since 1960, with a provision for them to make claims, objections and appeals. Delivering the inaugural address at the International Conference on Electoral Integrity (IDEA) in Stockholm, Sweden, on Tuesday evening, Kumar described the annual roll revision exercise in India as 'the world's most rigorous and transparent', adding that it reinforces the accuracy and integrity of the electoral process. He noted that 'this robust mechanism plays a vital role in upholding electoral credibility across the country, year after year'. Apprising the participants — representing election management bodies (EMBs) of around 50 countries — about the massive scale of Indian elections conducted under the watch of political parties, candidates, observers and the media, the CEC said the poll panel, with over 20 million personnel, including polling staff, police forces and observers, 'becomes the world's largest organisation, surpassing the combined workforce of several national governments and major global corporations and ensures that India's nearly one billion electors are freely able to exercise their franchise'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Kumar traced the evolution of Indian elections over the decades, noting how the system has adapted to increasing complexity while staying rooted in constitutional values. 'From 173 million electors in 1951–52 to 979 million in 2024, and from just 0.2 million polling stations in the early years to over 1.05 million today, India's electoral journey has demonstrated both institutional foresight and unmatched scale,' he noted. He added that 743 political parties and 20,271 candidates contested elections conducted across the length and breadth of the country using 6.2 million EVMs, reaffirming the Commission's capability to conduct elections that are inclusive, efficient, and secure. Reflecting on the inclusive design of Indian elections, Kumar stated that the electoral process serves first- time voters, senior citizens aged 85+, persons with special abilities, third-gender electors, and voters in the most inaccessible regions with equal care and commitment. From polling booths with a single elector to highest altitude stations like Tashigang in Himachal Pradesh, India's commitment to leaving no voter behind is reiterated as a constitutional principle rather than a logistical challenge, he said. The CEC also held bilateral meetings with his counterparts from Mexico, Indonesia, Mongolia, South Africa, Switzerland, Moldova, Lithuania, Mauritius, Germany, Croatia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, on the sidelines of the conference. These engagements were focused on voter participation, electoral technology, diaspora voting, and institutional capacity-building.
