Gujarat to soon have Regional Vibrant Summits to ensure towns and villages also become partners in industrial growth: CM
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Thursday announced that Gujarat will soon launch a new initiative – of having Regional Vibrant Summits to ensure that 'our towns and villages also become partners in industrial growth'. The CM made the announcement on Thursday in his message to the people of Gujarat on the eve of 79th Independence Day. In his message, the CM said, 'To make Gujarat shine on the world map in trade and industry, our respected Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) initiated the tradition of the Vibrant Summit. Now, to ensure that our towns and villages also become partners in industrial growth, we will soon launch a new initiative — Regional Vibrant Summits — in the coming months.' He further said, 'I am confident that these summits will help Gujarat set a new direction for the country in futuristic industrial development.' The CM said that the Gujarat government is celebrating the current year as Urban Development Year to make the state's cities smart and sustainable. In this context, he said, 'In the coming years, Gujarat's cities will host national and international sporting events, and as part of this preparation, world-class sports infrastructure is being developed in our metropolitan areas.' Referring to a number of other initiatives and schemes of the state government, he said it is committed to the principle of welfare, development and prosperity for all under the guidance of PM Modi. The CM asked the people of Gujarat to take a pledge 'to dedicate our body, mind, and resources to building a Viksit Gujarat as our contribution to Viksit Bharat 2047.' He said, 'Friends, this year's Independence Day holds special significance for us. In 1960, Gujarat was established as a separate state from the erstwhile Bombay State, and in 2035, a decade from now, it will complete 75 years. It is our resolve to elevate the magnificent structure of development built in Gujarat by PM Modi to new global heights by the time Gujarat marks its 75th year. Before India completes 100 years of Independence in 2047 and celebrates its centenary of freedom, Gujarat will have a major milestone to mark.'

8th Pay Commission news: Implementation of 8th CPC may be delayed, Central govt employees may have to wait until…, know about past trends
8th pay commission update The Modi government announced the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission in January 2025, but progress has been very slow. The crucial Terms of Reference (ToR) are not yet finalised. If we consider the timeline followed by the 7th Pay Commission, central government employees and pensioners may have to wait more. According to media reports the revisions can be effective retrospectively from January 1, 2026. 8th Pay Commission Implementation The Pay Commission is set up roughly every decade to revise pay, pensions, and allowances for central employees and retirees, but the 8th pay commission has not yet made big progress. The government has not even appointed a chairman or members, and the ToR which shapes the panel's scope is also pending seven months after the initial declaration. Employee unions and representative bodies have been pressing the Centre for updates. In response to a recent query, the Finance Ministry said it has sought inputs from ministries, states, and employee organisations, and that a formal notification will be issued once the ToR is finalised. Will Implementation Of 8th Pay Commission Be Delayed? If the 8th Pay Commission follows the same timeline as earlier commission it can delay more. The 7th Pay Commission, announced on September 25, 2013, took nearly 33 months from announcement to implementation: ToR issued: February 28, 2014 (five months after announcement) Members appointed: March 4, 2014 Report submitted: November 19, 2015 (about 20 months later) Implementation: June 29, 2016, with effect from January 1, 2016 This means there was a 27-month gap between the ToR notification and the implementation date. Applying that to the 8th Pay Commission, if the government issues the ToR by August 2025, recommendations could realistically be implemented only around January 2028. However the process might not exactly be done in the same way like the 7th Pay Commission, current delays suggest the 8th Pay Commission can be delayed like earlier one.
