Mizoram govt to expand rubber cultivation on additional 173 hectares of land
Agency: Last Updated: Aizawl, Aug 21 (PTI) The Mizoram government has decided to expand rubber cultivation under the second phase of a state government initiative to boost farmers' livelihoods, officials said on Thursday. Chief Minister Lalduhoma held a meeting with leaders of the Mizoram Rubber Society (Mirso) on Wednesday and approved a proposal to expand the CM's Rubber Mission by an additional 173 hectares of land, they said. During the meeting, Mirso president Hrangzuala presented a report on the progress of work under the second phase of the mission in west Mizoram's Mamit district, they said. He informed the chief minister that local farmers were encouraged and interested in the initiative and expressed their strong desire to expand rubber cultivation, the officials said. As the cultivation has been confined to 400 hectares of land in Mamit, an additional 173 hectares have been proposed to expand the rubber plantation, as farmers have shown great interest in it, Hrangzuala said. Lalduhoma also told the Mirso leaders that efforts were being made to distribute 100 rubber processing machines at subsidised rates. According to the officials, the second phase of the Chief Minister's Rubber Mission covers a total of 2,400 hectares of land across the state, of which 1,200 hectares are being covered with financial support from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), while the remaining will be implemented under the state's flagship 'Handholding' scheme. The 'Handholding' scheme will cover rubber cultivation in 1,373 hectares of land, including 173 hectares approved on Wednesday, they said.

Doing more and doing differently should be our mantras: Jaishankar on boosting India-Russia ties
In his televised opening remarks, the external affairs minister said India and Russia should continuously diversify and expand their 'agenda' of cooperation including by diversifying the bilateral trade basket and through more joint ventures. Jaishankar made the remarks at a meeting with Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov in Moscow. New Delhi, Aug 20 (PTI) India and Russia should come out with a creative and innovative approach to confront complex geopolitical challenges, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Wednesday amid increasing strains in New Delhi's ties with Washington over its purchase of Russian crude oil. 'Doing more and doing differently should be our mantras,' he said. The comments came against the backdrop of a downturn in relations between India and the US after President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to a whopping 50 per cent including a 25 per cent additional duties for India's purchase of Russian crude oil. The external affairs minister arrived in Moscow on Tuesday on a three-day visit. The Jaishankar-Manturov talks were held under the framework of India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological, and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC). The meeting was aimed at preparing grounds for Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India later this year. Elaborating on the importance of India-Russia ties in the context of current geopolitical upheaval, Jaishankar made specific suggestions to further consolidate the engagement, especially in the economic sphere. 'The various working groups and sub groups could perhaps take a more creative and innovative approach towards their respective agendas. The challenges posed by the larger landscape that I mentioned require us to do so,' he said. The external affairs minister said both sides should continuously diversify and expand their agenda through mutual consultation. 'This will help us tap into full potential of our trade and investment ties. We should not get stuck on a beaten track,' he said Jaishankar also called for setting 'quantifiable targets and specific timelines' to achieve more in expanding the ties between the two countries. 'I would urge that we set ourselves some quantifiable targets and specific timelines so that we challenge ourselves to achieve more, perhaps even surpass what we set out to do,' he said. 'Each working Group and each sub Group could apply itself to setting of targets and see what we could achieve by the next session of the IRIGC-TEC,' he said. 'For example, if you are looking at trade barriers, could we pick a certain number and make a commitment? If we have agreed to a certain proposal, can we set a firm timeline for that?' he said. Jaishankar also pitched for a 'coordination mechanism' between the business forum and the different working groups of the IRIGC to ensure a two-way flow of ideas. 'We will like the IRIGC to become even more result-oriented, relevant and readily available to the business communities of the two sides,' he said.

Russia expects to be part of Sudarshan Chakra project: Russian charge d'affaires
At a media briefing, Babushkin projected the rapid upswing in his country's ties with New Delhi in several critical areas and said Russia has been a 'partner of choice' for India's requirement of various military platforms and hardware. The relations between New Delhi and Washington are on a downturn after US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to a whopping 50 per cent including a 25 per cent additional duties for India's purchase of Russian crude oil. New Delhi, Aug 20 (PTI) Russia has a 'special mechanism' to confront any challenge arising out of the US slapping punitive measures against India for its procurement of Russian crude oil, Russian charge d'affaires Roman Babushkin said on Wednesday. The senior Russian diplomat said Russia is expected to be part of New Delhi's plans to create a new air defence system called Sudarshan Chakra, which was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day speech. 'We proceed from the understanding that when it comes to the advancement of these systems, Russian equipment will be part of it,' he said. The Russian charge d'affaires described as 'unjustified' the unrelenting American pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil and said such an approach as well as sanctions are detrimental to the global economic stability and energy security. 'It is a challenging situation for India. We are enjoying trust in our partnership with India and we are committed to address challenges that may come in the energy ties between the two counties,' Babushkin asserted, exuding confidence that India-Russia energy cooperation will continue to grow. Russian officials acknowledged that a 5 per cent swing is possible in oil import prices in view of the Western tariffs and sanctions, though this will be subject to negotiation. Last week, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that the Trump administration may increase secondary tariffs on India if it continues to procure Russian crude oil. Though the US imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on India for its energy ties with Russia, it has not initiated similar actions against China, the largest buyer of Russian crude oil. Defending its purchase of Russian crude oil, India has been maintaining that its energy procurement is driven by national interest and market dynamics. India turned to purchasing Russian oil sold at a discount after Western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow and shunned its supplies over its invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022. Consequently, from a mere 1.7 per cent share in total oil imports in 2019-20, Russia's share increased to 35.1 per cent in 2024-25, and it is now the biggest oil supplier to India. 'The sanctions are hitting those who are imposing them. We are confident that India-Russia energy cooperation will continue notwithstanding the external pressure,' Babushkin said. 'Russia is the biggest supplier to India of crude oil and India's demands are growing. Certainly, this is a perfect case of mutual accommodation and complementarity of our economies. 'If hypothetically speaking, India refuses to procure Russian oil, it will not lead to mutually beneficial cooperation with the West. They (Western powers) are behaving like neo-colonial powers,' he said. The Russian diplomat said both sides are committed to take the volume of bilateral trade to USD 100 billion by 2030. To a question on American tariffs on Indian goods, Babushkin said the Russian market will welcome Indian exports. The Russian charge d'affaires said the dates for President Vladimir Putin's visit to India later this year have not been firmed up. To a question, he said the role of BRICS as a stabilising force will increase amid the ongoing global turbulence. In terms of GDP, the size of the economy of BRICS is about USD 77 trillion while it is USD 57 trillion for Group of Seven (G7) nations, he said, arguing that the BRICS is emerging as a major economic power. The Russian diplomat also said that the defence and security cooperation between India and Russia are set to expand further. India's Russian-supplied S-400 air defence systems played a critical role during the May 7 to 10 hostilities between Indian and Pakistani militaries.
