West Bengal CM Mamata launches Rs 8,000-crore local outreach drive ahead of 2026 Assembly polls
The project with an allocation of Rs 8,000 crore will commence from August 2 and be completed within 60 days.
Banerjee said, 'We will be launching a small project 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan'. A dedicated task force will be formed, headed by the Chief Secretary, to monitor it. Task forces will be constituted at both district and state levels. Police will also be involved to maintain law and order and ensure smooth coordination and implementation.'
According to political observers, the government has decided to launch this new programme with an eye on the Assembly elections, due next year.
Claiming that 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Chief Minister explained, 'Many times, we notice that there are small issues — like setting up a tap or an electric pole — that need attention in localities. We have provided electricity to many areas, but by chance, some places may have been left out. For such minor issues, we are taking up this programme.'

Namo Drone Didi scheme: 1,021 drones allocated to Punjab, 583 to Haryana, says Centre in Lok Sabha
Of the 14,500 drones approved under the 'Namo Drone Didi' scheme, 1,021 have been allocated to Punjab, the Centre informed the Lok Sabha Tuesday. The neighbouring Haryana has been allocated 583, nearly half of Punjab's allocation, while Himachal Pradesh has been given 75. Replying to a query by Lok Sabha MP Parshottambhai Rupala, Union Minister of State (agriculture and farmers welfare) Ramnath Thakur said that 1,094 drones have already been distributed across the country to women Self Help Groups (SHGs) in 2023-24 with financial assistance from Lead Fertilizer Companies (LFCs), of which 500 have been distributed under Namo Drone Didi scheme. The scheme was launched in November 2023 after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his Independence Day speech that year, announced to train at least 15,000 Drone Didis across the country, ushering a tech revolution in agriculture by spraying fields with drone, thus cutting manual labor cost along with saving time and water. Modi had announced that the goal was to create at least two crore 'Lakhpati didis' (rural women earning in lakhs) in the country by empowering women running self-help groups (SHGs) under which drone training for women was launched. The Union ministry's reply further revealed that in Punjab, 57 drones have already been distributed to woman SHGs by LFCs with equal number of women from these SHGs given drone pilot training. In Haryana, 102 drones have already been distributed and equal number of women from these SHGs given the training. However, in the hill state, just 4 drones have been distributed until now. Minister Thakur further said: 'The Government has approved 'Namo Drone Didi' as Central Sector Scheme for providing 15,000 drones to the Women Self Help Groups (SHGs) with an outlay of Rs 1261 crore for the period from 2023-24 to 2025-26. The major objectives of the scheme is to promote advanced technology in agriculture for improved efficiency, enhanced crop yield and reduced cost of operation and to empower SHGs as drone service providers for increasing their income and providing livelihood support to them.' 'Under this scheme, Central Financial Assistance (CFA) @ 80% of the cost of drone package up to a maximum of Rs. 8.00 lakhs is provided to the selected women SHGs. 15 days drone pilot training for one of the members of SHGs and 5 days drone assistant training to other member/family member of SHGs is provided as a part of drone package,' he added. 'LFCs have distributed 1,094 drones to drone didis of SHGs in 2023-24 using their internal resources. Out of these 1,094 drones, 500 drones have been distributed under the Namo Drone Didi Scheme. Members of these SHGs have been trained as drone pilots at various Remote Pilot Training Organizations (RPTOs) authorized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The allocation of remaining 14500 drones has been informed to the State Governments as indicated,' the reply adds. The ministry also admitted that women trained as Drone Didis were facing some practical issues related to batteries, transportation etc on the ground. 'Agricultural Development and Rural Transformation Centre (ADRTC), Bangalore have carried out a study on economics and business viability of drone operations on the 500 drones distributed by LFCs under Namo Drone Didi scheme. The findings indicate that kisan drones cover an area of one acre in 7-8 minutes and the flight time on a single battery charge of the kisan drones of various manufacturers ranged from 5-20 minutes. The drone package under Namo Drone Didi scheme includes one standard battery set and additional four battery sets,' says the reply. On the transportation issue, the ministry said: 'The study report also indicates that, where the utility vehicles were not provided with the drones supplied by LFCs, 42.68 per cent of the Drone Didis faced transportation related issues, with the South (78.82%) being the most affected. Moreover, 68.66 per cent drone didis also reported that hiring a transport vehicle was costly. To address the drone transport issue, a provision has been made under Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) to provide financial assistance @ 80% to the Women SHGs identified under Namo Drone Didi scheme for purchase of Multi-utility machines, which are also used as drone transport. Overall, the adoption of drones has diversified SHG activities, improved agricultural practices, and increased income opportunities for women in rural communities.'

Stone mafias damage Dhunkapada's sacred ecology
Berhampur: The tranquil hills of Ganjam now resonate with the rumble of a brewing storm—not of nature, but of protest. Amid allegations of unchecked illegal stone mining and heritage devastation, a powerful united voice has emerged from the grassroots. Villagers of Dhunkapada in Ganjam district, led by Arati Devi, the former Sarpanch who revolutionised the panchayat system in Odisha, are raising their voice against illegal stone mining. Following an inquiry ordered by the State Revenue Minister into rampant stone mafia activities, a report was submitted by the district administration. But Arati alleged that the report was one-sided. Arati has accused the stone mafia of not only destroying the ecological sanctity of five surrounding hills, but also crippling a lifeline she once built—a Rs 25 lakh reservoir and canal system that irrigated the fields of over 500 farming families. This heritage system, she says, now lies choked. The flow of water from the reservoir to the agricultural fields has been diverted as the mafias have filled the canal with boulders to facilitate the movement of their trucks. The once-sacred Giri Gobardhan temple, revered by local farmers, teeters on collapse, she alleges. The local farmers used to offer flattened rice and jaggery to Lord Giri Gobardhan with a belief that there will be rain to facilitate farming. The national bird peacock is dying under the impact of illegal blasting. Arati and the villagers took up this issue with Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi at the Grievance Cell in Bhubaneswar. She demanded action within seven days or else she said they will stage an indefinite dharna at Raj Bhavan. Her anguish was palpable as she recounted ecological destruction such as illegal blasts, dying peacocks and poached blackbuck calves which were once protected in this landscape. 'This isn't just about stones,' Arati Devi said. 'It's about the soul of our land. About our water, our wildlife, our worship and our farmers' future,' she said. The question looms: Will the Chief Minister act decisively. Or will the silence of the hills deepen into despair? The fate of a community, its culture and its ecology hangs in the balance.
