Ram Prasad Bismil was born on June 11, 1897, in Shahjahanpur. He played a pivotal role in the
Kakori train action
and was one of the four revolutionaries who were hanged on December 19, 1927.
The
Kakori Train
Action or Kakori Conspiracy was a train robbery that took place at Kakori, a village near Lucknow, on 9 August 1925 during the
Indian Independence
Movement against the British colonial rule.
The robbery was organised by the Hindustan Republican Association, and more than 40 persons were arrested in this incident. They were finally sentenced to death by the British government, and severe punishments were also given to those people who helped with the incident.
Earlier in August, the Uttar Pradesh government renamed the 'Kakori Kand' to 'Kakori Train action' as the word 'Kand' denotes a sense of insult to this incident under India's Independence struggle.

Pemmasani lays stone for Shaadi Khana at Prattipadu in Guntur district
The Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications, Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, along with local MLA B. Ramanjaneyulu, laid the foundation stone for the construction of a Shaadi Khana at Prathipadu on Thursday. The facility is being built for the benefit of the Muslim community. Speaking at the event, the Minister lauded two families for making the project possible. He praised Nuthalapati Parameswara Rao and Prameela for donating land worth ₹1 crore for the facility. 'At a time when land prices are skyrocketing, donating such a valuable property for public welfare is truly commendable,' he said. He also acknowledged the contributions of Sudhanagunta Raghavendra Prasad and Kalyani, who, despite not being local residents, donated ₹4 crore to construct nine community halls across the Guntur parliamentary constituency, including the one in Prattipadu. The Shaadi Khana is being built at a cost of ₹45 lakh, consisting of a 2,000 hall with toilet facilities and guest arrangements. Criticising the previous YSRCP government, he alleged that no meaningful support or infrastructure was provided to the Muslim community in the last five years. 'Despite funds being available from the Centre under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram, the previous regime failed to provide matching funds, letting central aid lapse,' he stated. Plans for Guntur Mr. Sekhar also announced future development plans for Guntur, including a ₹30 crore radiotherapy equipment project for the government hospital, a ₹100 crore Ayurvedic hospital, and modernisation of the Guntur Channel. He assured that all ongoing public works would continue at the 2019 contract rates, without any escalation in cost.

Trump teases 'Gold card' for US residency again as skepticism mounts
TOI correspondent from Washington: MAGA supremo Donald Trump once again teased the imminent arrival of "Trump GoldCard," with his minions claiming millions of foreigners are waiting to fork out $5 million each to buy American residency and a path to citizenship. Almost 15 weeks after he announced the new visa program would be rolled out in two weeks, Trump unveiled a sketchy website that merely said that "The Trump Card is Coming" and asked those interested to "Enter your information below to be notified the moment access opens." There was no date and no details of the program. Patchy details previously announced by the administration said the program, intended to replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, is aimed at granting permanent US residency and a "potential path" to citizenship for wealthy foreigners with a "gold car" on payment of $5 million. Unlike the EB-5 program, which requires investments in job-creating businesses, the Gold Card, now dubbed "Trump Card" appears to involve a straightforward $5 million payment without specific job creation requirements Trump and his lackeys have thrown out fantastic numbers, talking up the prospect of attracting more than 1 million foreigners paying $5 million each to generate $5 trillion, a sum that could pay down the country's mounting debt that now stands at $36 trillion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo While MAGA diehards seem resentful of US citizenship sold in such a crass manner to foreigners, others are fantasizing about millions of foreigners paying off the US debt and creating a surplus. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed in March that he had "sold" 1,000 cards (in the yet to be rolled out program), generating $5 billion, and that Elon Musk "is building the software right now" for the application process. But there is widespread skepticism, about both the legitimacy of the programs and the tall numbers, with some experts estimating that only 20,000–30,000 non-American centimillionaires (with a net worth of $100 million and above) globally could afford the $5 million fee, far below the 1 million targeted by Trump. There is a ceiling of 10,000 visas annually for the existing EB-5 program and even that, requiring an investment of only around 1 million, is not filled in some years. Trump has announced that there will be no ceiling on the so-called Gold Card. In further sweeteners to 'wealthy and successful' individuals Trump hopes to attract to the US from across the world, he has said they would not be required to pay taxes on their global income. US lawmakers, including some Republicans, are also in a wait and watch, arguing that creating a new visa category requires congressional legislation, a power reserved for Congress under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The executive branch, they maintain, cannot unilaterally grant permanent residency or alter tax laws for foreigners. MAGA diehards have more fundamental concerns -- about a US overrun by wealthy foreigners replacing poor immigrants.

Dialogue with farmers will continue, says agriculture minister; concludes 15-day agri campaign
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday concluded the 15-day ' Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan ' at a Kisan Sammelan in Bardoli, Gujarat, emphasising that while the campaign was ending, the government's engagement with farmers would continue unabated. Speaking at the venue that holds historical significance as the site of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's Bardoli Satyagraha against British tax policies in 1928, Chouhan drew parallels between past and present struggles for farmers' welfare. "I feel fortunate to be on this Karmabhoomi of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. On this day, 12 June 1928, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had held a meeting for the Bardoli Satyagraha," he said. The campaign, designed to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Lab to Land' vision, deployed 2,170 teams comprising 16,000 scientists who travelled village to village across the country. These teams engaged directly with farmers, providing research-based information tailored to local climatic conditions and field requirements. "Around 1 crore 12 lakh farmers have been communicated under this campaign and access has been ensured to more than 1 lakh villages," Chouhan said, highlighting the campaign's extensive reach. Live Events Dialogues were conducted at over 55,000 locations during the fortnight-long initiative. The minister praised Gujarat's agricultural performance, noting the state's leadership in specific crops. Gujarat produces 77 per cent of the country's castor, 44.5 per cent of groundnut, 24 per cent of cotton, and 15 per cent of gram. The state also ranks first in castor, cumin, fennel, and dates production, an official statement said. Chouhan outlined six key formulas for agricultural improvement: increasing production, reducing production costs, ensuring fair prices for farmers, providing proper compensation for losses, promoting agricultural diversification, and maintaining soil fertility for future generations. The minister announced an ambitious target for natural farming across 7.5 lakh hectares this year, with 18 lakh farmers already expressing willingness to participate. "Many farmers shared their experiences with me regarding natural farming. It was a pleasure to hear from the farmers that natural farming reduces costs and production is also not affected and quality products are obtained," he said. The campaign, which began in Odisha on May 29, saw Chouhan visiting 13 states, including Odisha, Jammu, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Delhi, and Gujarat. Throughout the tour, he engaged with farmers through Kisan Chaupals, conferences, and padyatras. Emphasising the campaign's impact beyond mere information dissemination, Chouhan noted encounters with farmers who had increased their income ten-fold through innovative practices and government schemes. "Such farmers are truly scientists, from whom we will also get guidance," he said, adding that these experiences would help in forming future agricultural policies. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel, state Agriculture Minister Raghavjibhai Patel, and other officials attended the concluding ceremony, while the 2,170 scientist teams participated virtually. The minister also reaffirmed the government's commitment with the motto 'One Nation-One Agriculture-One Team', promising continuous dialogue and support for the farming community beyond the formal campaign period.
