Min: 85% of MOUs inked at Davos being implemented
"We have allotted land in 15 MoUs. Land will be allotted to seven companies in the next few days. Twenty companies didn't like the land we offered them. So, we are offering them other parcels of land as 'pass through'. Of the total MoUs, only four are not in the initial stage," he said in the assembly. He said the projects are expected to generate 16 lakh jobs.
Officials said 85% of the MoUs have been converted into actual investments; India's average stands at 40%.

Govt activating coop societies, renovating warehouses: Min
1 2 Lucknow: UP cooperative minister JPS Rathore said on Saturday that the cooperative societies of the state were dilapidated, and warehouses were in ruins in the past and are being renovated by the BJP govt. "New buildings were being constructed in the societies. Along with this, an interest-free cash credit limit of Rs 10 lakh each was made available to farmers to provide fertilisers and seeds easily through societies," he said, asserting that if required, the limit would be increased to Rs 15 lakh. He said that inactive societies were activated by providing working capital of Rs 10 lakh each to about 7,000 primary cooperative societies of the state. "A total of 11.94 lakh MT of urea is available in the state, including 2.65 lakh MT urea in the cooperative sector and 9.29 lakh MT urea in private sector. Along with IFFCO and KRIBHCO, 40% of fertiliser is also being procured from private suppliers and provided to societies," he added. "This is being reviewed daily at the state level so that there is no shortage of fertilisers in societies in any district. As monsoon arrived before time, the demand for fertiliser is already prevailing," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo "During this period last year, 14.24 lakh MT of urea was distributed by cooperative and private sectors. This year, 17.88 lakh MT of urea has been distributed so far. There is no shortage of urea in the state. Officers have been asked to maintain supply of fertiliser to farmers," he said. Rathore said that efforts should be made to stop black marketing of fertiliser from districts along the Nepal border. He said that computerisation of committees was being done and instructed officers to prepare a digital data of the farmers in which their name, address, khasra-khatauni, Aadhaar number, and mobile number should be prepared so that farmers could easily take fertilisers and seeds and sell their produce. He said that the facility of digital payment through QR code would be made available at all the committees through district cooperative banks, which would solve the problem of overrating of fertiliser.

Sand shortage hits real estate, govt infra projects across state
1 2 Ranchi: The National Green Tribunal 's ( NGT ) ban on sand mining from June 10 to October 15 for monsoon has led to a sand crisis across the state, severely affecting construction work in both govt and private sectors. The restriction, aimed at curbing environmental degradation during the monsoon season, has led to an acute shortage of sand, causing prices to surge exorbitantly. With sand supply halted, ongoing infrastructure projects, including road development, housing schemes, and public utility construction, have either slowed down or come to a complete standstill. Private builders and contractors are also bearing the brunt of the shortage. Many real estate projects have been delayed, leading to cost overruns and growing frustration among investors and homebuyers alike. Sand mining from riverbeds stopped in Jharkhand on June 10 in accordance with the NGT order. A Ranchi-based contractor who builds buildings for state govt, Rohit Agarwal, claimed, "Sand shortage have forced work to come to a halt. Unavailability of sand is causing delays in construction which would eventually lead to delay in completion of projects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo A few projects are ongoing by some contractors who have their own sand stock otherwise a lot of projects are on halt." The president of the Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Paresh Gattani, said, "Sand shortage across the state is creating major inconveniences. Price of sand has become exorbitantly high and businessmen are procuring sand from Bihar." Within the span of a month, rates of sand have increased at least Rs 10,000- 15,000 per truck. "Before the ban was, it was around Rs 40,000 for a truck, which has now become Rs 50,000- 55,000 a truck of sand from Bihar," said Vikash Kumar, a businessman. State mines director, Rahul Kumar Sinha, said, "Jharkhand State Mineral Development Corporation has a stock of around 80 lakh cubic feet of sand and parties needing sand can procure it through its website."
