Collector calls for promoting PMDS on a large scale
He held a review meeting with the officials on Tuesday to assess the progress and preparedness for PMDS implementation.
During the meeting, the Collector inspected the PMDS seed kits and discussed the sowing process with the concerned officers.
He stated that PMDS offers multiple benefits to farmers and informed that each kit comprises seeds of 30 different crops. Farmers are advised to sow 10–15 kilograms of seeds per acre, and a target of 50,000 kits has been set for distribution ahead of the Kharif season. He emphasized that every farmer should take up PMDS between the mango harvest and paddy transplantation periods to ensure better productivity.
The Collector highlighted that PMDS improves soil fertility, promotes biodiversity, and increases organic carbon levels among other benefits. He further directed officials to encourage PMDS even in non-APCNF villages and ensure that at least 25 seed kits are cultivated under each gram panchayat. District Agriculture Officer Prasad Rao, Horticulture Officer Dasaratharami Reddy, and Project Manager A Shanmugam were present in the meeting.

Gujarat education department directs coordinators to avoid non-academic work
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat education department, under the Samagra Shiksha programme, issued a circular directing that block resource centre (BRC), cluster resource centre (CRC), and urban resource centre (URC) coordinators should not be assigned non-academic work unrelated to Samagra Shiksha. The order states that such tasks can only be given in unavoidable circumstances with approval from the state project director. The circular emphasises that coordinators are appointed to ensure the effective implementation of various education-related initiatives, including School of Excellence, PM Shri, Swami Vivekananda residential schools, model schools, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBVs), vocational education, inclusive education for children with special needs, and programmes for out-of-school children and girls. These require timely achievement of set targets, which gets affected when coordinators are diverted to other work. It was noted that district and taluka-level offices often assign non-Samagra Shiksha work to these coordinators, leaving them with insufficient time for core duties. To address this, the department reiterated earlier instructions that no unrelated tasks should be given.
