Farmers receive agri-drones with 80% subsidy
Dharmavaram: In a significant step towards modernising agriculture, the Andhra Pradesh government, under the Annadata Rythu Seva Sangham initiative, has provided state-of-the-art agricultural drones to farmers in Dharmavaram with 80% subsidy. The programme, held at Dharmavaram Market Yard, was organized under the directions and support of Health and Family Welfare Minister Satya Kumar Yadav. Minister's constituency in-charge Harish Babu, AD Laxman Naik, and Mandal Agriculture Officer Mustafa participated in the event. Harish Babu stated that this initiative was made possible due to the special interest and guidance of Minister Satya Kumar Yadav. Implemented with the cooperation of the Farm Machinery Bank and financial support from the State Bank of India, the drones were manufactured by Drago Drones Pvt. Ltd. These advanced drones enable farmers to spray pesticides and fertilisers over crops quickly and cost-effectively, saving time, labour, and expenses while improving crop protection. Each drone is priced at Rs 9,80,000, of which the government covers Rs 7,84,000 as a subsidy. Farmers' groups need to contribute only Rs 1,96,000. Harish Babu described this as a technological revolution in rural farming, bringing modern tools within every farmer's reach. Farmers expressed gratitude to Minister Satya Kumar Yadav and the State government for their support. The event was attended by Drago Drones representative Ravi, SBI Field Officer Kishore, Annadata Rythu Seva Sangham members, rural mandal presidents, several BJP leaders and local farmers.

Sebi bars Wadhawan brothers from mkt
Mumbai: Capital markets regulator SEBI has banned Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd's former Chairman and Managing Director Kapil Wadhawan, ex-director Dheeraj Wadhawan, and four others from the stock markets for up to five years and slapped a penalty of Rs 120 crore on them for diverting funds and fabricating books. They have also been barred from holding any key position in a listed company for up to five years. According to the SEBI investigation, the main culprits involved in the fraudulent scheme were Kapil Wadhawan and his brother Dheeraj, who have been fined Rs 27 crore each. Rakesh Wadhawan, who was Non-Executive Chairman, and Sarang Wadhawan, a former Non-Executive Director, were also involved through their roles on DHFL's board and face penalties of Rs 20.75 crore each. Besides, Harshil Mehta, who was Joint Managing Director & CEO and Santosh Sharma, a former CFO of the company, have been fined Rs 11.75 crore and Rs 12.75 crore, respectively. The SEBI has stated in its order that since 2006, DHFL, along with its promoters, directors, and key managerial personnel, have engaged and participated in an 'egregiously fraudulent scheme' to divert funds to 'Bandra Book Entities' (BBEs) linked to the promoters. DHFL's loans to BBEs rose to a staggering Rs 14,040.5 crore by March 31, 2019. The order states that the promoters issued huge unsecured loans to these entities despite the fact that they did not have any assets or business. These loans were also falsely recorded as retail housing investigation has found that the modus operandi involved was to first extend large unsecured loans to these BBEs, even though they had no net worth, assets, or cash flows to justify such exposure. Second, all standard loan appraisal processes were deliberately bypassed.
