Parbhani, May 29 (UNI) The nationwide 'Developed Agricultural Resolution Campaign' was inaugurated in Maharashtra by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday.
The Chief Minister flagged off the campaign's chariot at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University in Parbhani.

Fadnavis expressed his hope that if this campaign is successful, the farmers of Maharashtra will get accurate guidance for planning the Khariff crop through this medium.
Altogether 2170 expert teams visiting more than 65,000 villages in 723 districts of the country will participate in this campaign.
Each team will have at least four scientists. These teams will include scientists from agricultural universities, experts from research institutes, officials from government departments, innovative farmers and FPO employees. The campaign aims to reach more than 1.3 crore farmers in the country.
In Maharashtra, the campaign will be implemented in 4,500 villages through the Agriculture Department and 50 Agricultural Science Centres. For the Marathwada region, 12 Agricultural Science Centres in eight districts are under the jurisdiction of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University. UNI VKB SSP

Proud of how MPs advocated India's voice, says PM Modi
NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday commended the seven multi-party delegations for effectively representing India's stance in global capitals following Operation Sindoor , a decisive strike against terrorist hubs in Pakistan and PoK. "Met members of various delegations who represented India in different countries and elaborated on India's commitment to peace and the need to eradicate the menace of terrorism. We're all proud of the manner in which they put forward India's voice," PM said on X. Over 50 representatives from the delegations, who visited 33 foreign capitals and the EU, called on Modi to share their experiences. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the PM was "very pleasant" to the delegation members, seeing it as an opportunity to thank them. "He walked around the lawn to different tables, talking to different groups of people... It was a good, lively, informal meeting," Tharoor said, adding that MPs shared insights and suggested such visits be made a regular practice, which the PM seemed to support. The delegations - comprising current and former MPs and ex-diplomats - conveyed India's firm stand against Pakistan-linked terrorism and its commitment to global peace. EAM S Jaishankar had earlier praised the delegations for highlighting India's position.

Where is Kalyan's ‘BKC' and other infra, ask residents after Mumbra train deaths
Thane: A day after the train-fall incident near Mumbra killed four passengers and injured nine, passengers living in Kalyan-Dombivli and beyond are demanding that the govt implement the growth centre that the MMRDA had planned in 10 villages of Kalyan, similar to Mumbai's BKC. Such a centre would mean that people would not have to travel to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane for jobs, resulting in a reduction in local train passengers. Some passengers believe that the govt should prioritise the ongoing infrastructure projects connecting Kalyan-Dombivli to Thane, Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, which would also reduce the number of people travelling by train. A large number of people from Kalyan-Dombivli work in IT companies in Navi Mumbai. Most of them used to travel in buses, but due to the Metro Line 12 (Kalyan-Taloja metro work), this journey takes two hours instead of 40 minutes. As a result, they now travel by train, first going to Thane from Kalyan-Dombivli and then to Navi Mumbai, adding to the peak-hour crowd. Although MMRDA is working fast on this Metro Line 12, the work on Metro 5 connecting Kalyan to Thane has not yet started between Kalyan and Bhiwandi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Capital Gains Exemptions for Seniors SmartAsset Learn More Undo The delay in work on the Mumbai-Nashik highway, particularly from Thane to Kalyan-Bhiwandi Phata, has also led many people to prefer trains instead of private cars, increasing the crowd in trains. In 2015, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis decided to develop 10 villages of Kalyan as a growth centre on the lines of BKC, stating that people from these cities would not have to travel to Mumbai and Thane for jobs. After this, MMRDA reserved 1,089 hectares of land in these 10 villages for the growth centre. In 2018, the govt sanctioned Rs 1,000 crore for it, but no work has started yet. Rupesh Raut, a resident of Dombivli who works in an IT company in Vikhroli, said, "The govt should prioritise the work of building a growth centre in Kalyan so that the lives of people like us, who risk our lives and travel by local train every day, will be saved. If we get jobs near us, it will reduce the crowd in the train." Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Dipesh Mhatre from Dombivli said that today Kalyan-Dombivli, Ambernath and Badlapur, where most people are employed in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, have become residential hubs where lakhs of people live. Railway activist Lata Argade said the govt now needs to take a decision on changing the working hours of govt and private sector offices in Mumbai. Argade said that the railway are positive about this demand, and the govt had accepted this demand earlier, but no decision has been taken on it.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel presided over a guiding meeting held in Gandhinagar for the Ministers, dignitaries, and approximately 400 high-ranking officers, including IAS, IPS, and IFS (Class-1 officers) who will participate in this three-day statewide 'Shala Praveshotsav' The Chief Minister, while referencing the inspiration provided by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Shala Praveshotsav and Kanya Kelavani Mahotsav, stated that the Prime Minister has offered leadership to the nation characterised by the efficiency to accord significance to even the most minor details through new initiatives. He added that in the 22 years of the Praveshotsav, much good work, including radical reforms in the state's education sector, has been accomplished. Let us make it more dynamic and work as a team, and based on the experiences and feedback of previous Praveshotsavs, let us work together for more result-oriented outcomes. The Shala Praveshotsav, initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2002-03, has completed 22 years. This year, the 23rd Shala Praveshotsav and Kanya Kelavani Mahotsav is set to be held with the theme 'Come, let's make Shala Praveshotsav a social festival' in 1529 government secondary and higher secondary schools, 5134 grant-in-aid secondary and higher secondary schools, and 31,824 government primary schools across the state. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, the Education Department has planned to enrol a total of 25.75 lakh students during this Shala Praveshotsav. This includes 8.75 lakh children eligible for admission to Balvatika, 10.50 lakh students eligible for admission from the 8th to the 9th standard, and 6.50 lakh students eligible for admission from the 10th to the 11th standard. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel urged the creation of an environment where more and more children enroll in government schools. Furthermore, he emphasized the need to inform SMC members and children during the Praveshotsav about the benefits of the 'Namo Lakshmi' scheme to encourage girls to pursue education from standards 9 to 12, and the 'Namo Saraswati' scheme to cultivate an interest in science stream education among children. On this occasion, Education Minister Kuber Dindor said that in this year's Praveshotsav, the state government has also focused on admissions from the 8th to the 9th standard and from the 10th to the 11th standard. Through an AI-based tracking system, a list of potential dropouts will be prepared, and special attention will be focused on such students. He added that we have tried to give a new direction to secondary education by adopting an approach of 'review, not examination' and 'performance, not presentation'. Chief Secretary Pankaj Joshi said that this Shala Praveshotsav program is not limited to the Education Department alone but has become a 'mission mode' festival connecting all departments. In this joint program of the government and society, primary education has started receiving public support as a humanitarian task. He also advocated for a social audit by getting feedback through meetings with the SMC during school visits in the Shala Praveshotsav. Principal Secretary for Education, Mukesh Kumar, gave a detailed overview of the entire Praveshotsav plan. State Cabinet Ministers, office-bearers, and senior secretaries also attended the meeting.
