Banking on green energy: PM SHRI schools to shine on solar power
The initiative aims to enhance the learning environment through sustainable energy. The education department sanctioned the solar project for four govt schools. Four schools in the district will be the first to have solar energy.
The solar project aims to overcome power cuts in schools. Schools in many rural and remote areas lack electricity connections, hindering education and overall development. Solar panels offer a reliable solution in such situations.
The solar energy project will be implemented at PM SHRI Govt HPS School of Yaliwal, Kundagol taluk, PM SHRI MPS School of Galagihulakoppa Village of Kalaghatagi Taluk, PM SHRI MPS School of Amargol in Hubballi, and PM SHRI Govt HPS No.
2 School, Alanavar taluk. Solar panels provide schools independence from the electricity grid, especially in rural areas with unreliable power supply, ensuring uninterrupted access to electricity and creating a conducive environment for teaching and learning.

He said the coalition government has taken significant steps to improve facilities for pilgrims, correcting previous shortcomings. The Chairman thanked CM Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, and Education Minister Nara Lokesh for their active support. Hasan Basha stated that the Central Haj Committee has allotted 2,550 slots for Andhra Pradesh pilgrims this year.

This information has been provided by the Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary via a written reply in the Rajya Sabha. The minister said that an official notification on the matter will be issued at an appropriate time. It is important to note that once formally constituted, the 8th CPC will outline a revised salary structure and pension framework for millions of government employees and retirees.

Brazil files WTO request for consultation over US tariffs
Brazil's government has filed a request for consultations at the World Trade Organization over the tariffs imposed by the United States on goods from that country, it said in a statement on Wednesday. President Donald Trump slapped a 50% tariff on U.S. imports from Brazil, with many exemptions, in response to what he has called a "witch hunt" against his Brazilian ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial on charges of plotting a coup following his election loss in 2022.
