Patna district struggles with Aadhaar seeding of land records as May 31 deadline nears
Patna district faces a slow pace in linking land records with Aadhaar numbers, despite the looming May 31 deadline
PATNA: The linking of
land records
to Aadhar numbers in
Patna district
is progressing slowly, despite the approaching May 31 deadline. This initiative will make it easier for anyone to prove his or her
land ownership
and help in preventing land-related frauds.
According to sources in the
revenue and land reforms dept
, only 17.45 lakh people have so far applied for Aadhaar seedings and around 13 lakh applications have already been processed in the district.
Paliganj is on top of
Aadhaar seeding
with more than 75,000 applications processed, closely followed by 74,000 in Masaurhi, 67,000 in Punpun, 59,000 in Bankipur and 57,000 in Dhanarua block.
The linking of
jamabandi
with
Aadhaar numbers
has several advantages, including receiving SMS notifications on mobile phone if there are any changes made in the Jamabandi after linking or any mutation application is submitted against it to alert the land owner against any fraud being attempted.

Ashwini Vaishnaw writes: Eleven years of inclusive growth have given people a firm belief in a better future
A new Bharat is taking shape — where progress is measured not only in GDP, but in dignity and opportunity. Annam Lakshmi Bhavani, a homemaker from Kadapa, secures the Mudra loan to start a successful jute bag manufacturing unit. Jagdev Singh in Haryana makes decisions related to his crops using an AI app. And Meera Manjhi gets an LPG connection under Ujjwala, ensuring a smokeless kitchen and more quality time with her children. These are everyday realities of villages, towns, and cities across Bharat. These transformations stem from structural reforms and a leadership that believes in empowering the last citizen. From the very beginning, our guiding philosophy has been antyodaya — uplifting people at the bottom of the pyramid. This vision, guided by the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is based on four simple yet powerful pillars. Building infrastructure that connects, growth that is inclusive, manufacturing that creates jobs, and simplifying systems that empower. Capital expenditure has grown significantly in the past 11 years, reaching Rs 11.2 lakh crore in 2025-26. This surge in public investment is most visible in India's infrastructure — physical, digital, and social. Over the past 11 years, nearly 59,000 km of highways have been built, and over 37,500 km of railway tracks laid. Recently, the Chenab and Anji bridges were inaugurated — symbols of a modern Bharat. For the people of Kashmir, the arrival of Vande Bharat through these bridges felt like a dream. This spirit of connectivity goes beyond railways to digital highways. India's digital public infrastructure (DPI) has become a global benchmark. UPI, Aadhaar, and DigiLocker are now studied globally for their scale and inclusiveness. Over 141 crore Aadhaar registrations and 60 crore UPI transactions every day signify their reach and acceptance. The idea behind this is simple: Democratise technology. The same vision drives the IndiaAI Mission. Over 34,000 high-speed computer chips, known as GPUs, are now available to all at just one-third the global cost. These chips are needed as part of AI development. To support this further, the AIKosha platform offers over 370 datasets and 200 ready-to-use AI models for learning and innovation. This focus on accessibility extends beyond tech to education, healthcare, and basic services. Over the past 11 years, the number of medical colleges has grown from 387 to 780, and AIIMS institutions from seven to 23. MBBS and PG seats have also more than doubled. Over 530 million Jan Dhan accounts have been opened — more than the population of Europe. Forty million homes have been built, 120 million toilets constructed, and 100 million families now cook with clean LPG instead of wood fire. Tap water connections have also reached 140 million households under 'Har Ghar Jal'. Health insurance under Ayushman Bharat covers 350 million people, and 110 million farmers now receive direct income support through PM-KISAN. These numbers come alive through the stories of people like Meera Manjhi, the 100 millionth Ujjwala beneficiary. She mentions how Rs 2.5 lakh was credited directly to her bank account without any middleman. She now has tap water, free rations every month, and a smokeless kitchen under Ujjwala. This is inclusive growth at a magnitude not seen during any period in our recent history. In 2015, we launched Make in India to create jobs and revive industrial growth. Today, electronics manufacturing has increased six times to cross Rs 12 lakh crore. Electronics exports have increased eight times to cross Rs 3 lakh crore to become among the top exported goods. Bharat is now the second largest mobile phone producer. We are now deepening the manufacturing value chain by producing electronic components under the new Electronic Components Manufacturing Scheme. Simultaneously, India's semiconductor mission is moving from blueprint to breakthrough. The country's first commercial lab is under construction; five OSAT units are underway; over 20 chipsets with indigenous IP have been designed by students and engineers in India. We have onboarded 270 universities with world-class EDA tools. This is the foundation for a semiconductor talent pipeline the world can rely on. A silent revolution of the past decade has been in governance. Over 1,500 old laws were repealed and 40,000-plus compliances removed. New laws like the Telecom Act and DPDP Act are built on trust and simplicity, treating citizens with dignity, not suspicion. This has encouraged investment, innovation, and formalisation, creating a virtuous growth cycle. Bharat's approach to terror, too, has changed. From surgical strikes to air strikes and now Operation Sindoor, Bharat has shown clarity and courage in its fight against terror. Each response reflects a swift, decisive action — on our own terms. This new way of responding to terror attacks is part of the Modi doctrine. It is based on three pillars. Decisive retaliation on Bharat's terms, zero tolerance for nuclear blackmail, and no distinction between terrorists and their sponsors. What made our response this time even more significant was the use of indigenous technologies and capabilities. A nation aspiring to become viksit must not only defend its people but do so with atmanirbharta — and Bharat did exactly that. In 2004, at the end of Atal (Bihari Vajpayee) ji's tenure, India was the 11th largest economy in the world. Between 2004 and 2014, India remained at the 11th position, reflecting a decade of missed momentum. In the past decade, Bharat regained momentum due to the reformist policies of PM Modi. Today, we are firmly on the path to become the third-largest economy in the world. Under the leadership of PM Modi, these 11 years of inclusive growth have given people something more valuable than subsidies or services. They've given them a belief. And a firm belief in a better future is what keeps the nation going. The author is Union Minister for Railways, Electronics & Information Technology, and Information & Broadcasting

Shipki-La near China border in Kinnaur opens for tourists
For the first time, Shipki-La, a high-altitude 3,930 metres motorable mountain pass bordering India and China in Himachal's tribal district of Kinnaur, has been opened for tourists who can now visit simply by carrying an Aadhar card and token. Chief minister (CM) Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday launched border tourism activities at Shipki-La. The move is aimed to boost the local economy and promote tourism in border areas in the hill state. Last month, officials said the state government had asked the ministry of defence to allow tourism activities in the border areas of the state in Lepcha, Shipki-La, Giu and Rani Kanda and the ministry has given go ahead in this regard. The border tourism initiative, launched in coordination with the Union government, will enable regulated tourist access to strategically important yet culturally vibrant locations such as Lepcha-La, Shipki-La, Gue Monastery, Khana, Dumti, the Rani area of Sangla, and Chitkul in Kinnaur district, along with selected areas in Lahaul-Spiti. Previously, access to these locations was heavily restricted, requiring special permissions from the ITBP and Indian Army due to their proximity to the India-China border and strategic importance. However, under revised guidelines, local residents and tourists can now visit these locations by presenting valid identity documents. The ITBP and army will continue to facilitate smooth and secure movement in alignment with prescribed protocols. CM Sukhu after launching the initiative said that at the border, we have eased restrictions for the travellers to enjoy the beauty of Shipki-La and the tourism activities here would strengthen the economy of the local people along with boosting tourism in the region. 'The state government had requested the defence ministry for permission for starting tourism activities in the border areas of Lepcha, Shipki-La, Giu and Rani Kanda. After the approval for the same, the border tourism initiative has been launched,' he said. Focus on opening Shipki-La route for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra The CM said that the state government would raise the issue of starting the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Shipki-La with the central government as well. He added: 'I would meet the Prime Minister and discuss the matter with him. Shipki-La will be the easiest route for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.' 'The centuries-old Trade route between India and Tibet, Shipki-La, was closed for trade in the year 2020. There are immense possibilities of trade and cultural exchange through this pass and the matter of restarting it would also be raised before the central government, said the chief minister. 'The matter of setting up an airport to promote tourism in the border areas would also be pursued before the Union government. The state government would urge the Centre to abolish the Inner Line Check Post of the military and paramilitary forces, which currently creates permit related obstacles for tourists,' Sukhu said. He said that he has also recently discussed the action plan to promote tourism in the border areas with Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). There has also been a discussion on using various helipads of the ITBP to promote tourism in remote areas. Discussions have also been held about providing medical facilities to the people through the health institutions of the ITBP.

Enrolment begins for PM Fasal Bima Yojana in Mysuru
Enrolment for the 2025–26 Karnataka Raitha Suraksha Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has officially commenced in Mysuru district. The scheme aims to provide financial protection to farmers against crop losses resulting from natural calamities, pests, and diseases. Participation is voluntary for both loanee and non-loanee farmers. Loanee farmers, who do not wish to enroll, must submit a written consent letter to their bank manager at least seven days before the final date of enrolment in order to be exempted. Interested farmers can register at their nearest bank, Common Service Center (CSC), or Grama One Center. Required documents include RTC (land ownership document), bank passbook, and Aadhaar copy, a press release said. Insurance claims will be considered if over 75% of the sown area fails due to insufficient rainfall. Also, claims will be considered when the crop loss is due to prolonged dry spells, drought, or floods occurring before 15 days of harvest. If crops left in the field for drying are damaged within 14 days due to cyclonic rains, storms, or unseasonal rain, then the farmers' claims can be considered. In addition, events such as hailstorms, landslides, lightning, submergence, and fire will be assessed individually for compensation under the scheme. The notified crops for Mysuru taluk are rainfed crops such as cowpea (Alasu), black gram (uddu), sesame (ellu), jowar, pigeon pea (Togari), maize (musukina jola), finger millet (ragi), horse gram (huruli), green gram (hesaru), cotton, and groundnut; irrigated crops like paddy (rice), finger millet (ragi), and groundnut; and non-seasonal (NS) crops such as tomato and cabbage. The authorities have urged farmers to take advantage of this scheme to safeguard their farm produce against unforeseen risks. 'The insurance provider for Mysuru district is Tata AIG Insurance Co. Ltd. All eligible farmers are encouraged to register in large numbers to avail the benefits,' said Jayaram B.D., Assistant Director of Agriculture, in the release.
