Salary - Rs 30 Crore A Year. Job - Flip A Switch On And Off. Too Good To Be True?
Last Updated: A viral claim about a Rs 30 crore salary for a lighthouse keeper in Alexandria is false. The lighthouse is automated, and real keeper jobs pay around $40,000 to $60,000 annually Imagine earning millions without a boss breathing down your neck or the usual stress of office life. Now picture a job where your sole responsibility is to switch a light on and off. Tempting, isn't it? Many dream of such a role, and some social media posts claim it exists. But how much truth lies behind these viral headlines? Is This Everyone's Dream Job? A viral post circulating online suggests that the world's most challenging yet seemingly perfect job is that of the lighthouse keeper at the historic Lighthouse of Alexandria, situated on the island of Pharos in Egypt's Alexandria port. It claims the role offers an annual salary of Rs 30 crore (approximately £2.8 million), with the main duty being to ensure the lighthouse remains lit. The supposed perks? The ability to sleep at will, complete solitude, and no human interaction. The post romanticises the isolation, portraying the lighthouse as surrounded by treacherous seas and frequent storms. It's suggested that the lighthouse keeper requires only a basic education up to Class 10, though technical skills are necessary. The lighthouse is described as a marvel of ancient engineering, built to guide ships through rocky waters. Is this Job Real Or Fake? Despite the allure, these claims don't hold up to scrutiny. According to reliable sources, the so-called 'Zumon Lighthouse' is already fully automated, eliminating the need for a keeper. Furthermore, there's no official record of a Zumon Lighthouse in France, as some versions of the story claim. The widely shared salary figure of Rs 30 crore is greatly exaggerated. In reality, lighthouse operations are typically overseen by government bodies or maritime agencies, and salaries for such roles generally range between $40,000 and $60,000 (£31,000–£47,000), depending on the location and responsibilities involved.

Four companies to get 190 crore incentives
Lucknow: In a move to boost investor confidence, the Uttar Pradesh govt has approved the disbursal of around Rs 190 crore as financial incentives to four major companies, including global electronics giant Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, under UP Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy. The decision was formally approved by state industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', following a proposal submitted by the department of industrial development. "The incentives are aimed at supporting large-scale investments, encouraging industrial expansion, and generating employment across the state," he said. Sharing details, he said, "Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, Noida, will receive the largest share, Rs 124.5 crore, as its Noida facility plays a critical role in Samsung's global supply chain, manufacturing over 25% of the company's smartphones sold worldwide. This solidifies Noida's status as India's mobile manufacturing hub." "Likewise, Varun Beverages Limited, which operates a major PepsiCo bottling plant in Sandila, Hardoi, has been allotted Rs 42 crore to support beverage production and distribution across northern India. LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd will receive Rs 20.49 crore to aid expansion and job creation within UP's growing electronics manufacturing Paswara Papers Ltd, Meerut, has been allocated Rs 2.57 crore to facilitate green technology upgrades and enhance paper manufacturing capacity," he said. "Before 2017, industries were fleeing UP. Now, under CM Yogi's leadership, the state has become a preferred destination for global and domestic investors, thanks to policy stability, transparent governance, and investor-friendly incentives," Nandi added.
