MP Arora confers proprietary rights to 151 households in ‘Lal Lakir'
Ludhiana: In a significant step towards empowering residents living within the Lal Lakir, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora today on Monday conferred proprietary rights to 151 households of Jawaddi Kalan under the "Mera Ghar Mere Naam" scheme. The property certificates were distributed at a special event held at Govt High School, Jawaddi Kalan. While addressing the gathering, the MP described the initiative as a landmark move aimed at resolving long-standing property ownership issues in Jawaddi Kalan. The residents had been demanding legal ownership of their homes for about past 50 years. Highlighting the broader impact of the scheme, Arora said, "This initiative not only addresses decades-old challenges but also restores dignity and opens new economic opportunities for residents. By granting legal recognition, it allows residents to leverage their property for financial growth — whether through loans or future family planning." Earlier this month, beneficiaries in Sunet, Barewal, Haibowal Kalan and Haibowal Khurd received proprietary rights certificates. Arora said, as of today, 1,523 households — including those in Jawaddi Kalan — have been granted proprietary rights. He added that any remaining areas may also be covered in the future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

He apprised the beneficiaries that any corrections required in the property certificates can be made at the MCL D-Zone Office on all working days between 10am and 5pm within the next 90 days.

Odisha rural students to showcase innovative ideas at global summit in USA
1 2 Bhubaneswar: Eight rural high school students from Odisha will take part in the Global Junicorn and AI Summit 2025 on May 29-30 at Texas State University, USA. The students will present startup ideas, including a helium balloon satellite for agriculture , decentralised ethanol production in villages and an AI-powered spice blending system at the summit. Digbijay Sahu and Chiranjib Barik of Govt High School, Soro in Balasore district came up with a helium balloon satellite for agriculture. "Traditional satellite imaging is expensive and lacks precision. The helium balloon satellite captures high-resolution, real-time images of farmland, detects soil health, crop stress and water levels and sends actionable insights directly to farmers' mobile phones," Anil Pradhan, founder of Young Tinker Foundation which is mentoring the eight students, said. 'Rural Volt – Decentralized Ethanol Production in Villages' will be presented by Koushik Kar of Govt High School, Soro and Sridhar Jena of Govt High School, Berhampur. "Rural communities often rely on expensive and polluting fuels while agricultural waste goes unused. Transportation costs for fuel further burden village economies. To solve this, Rural Volt can establish small-scale ethanol production units directly in villages, enabling farmers to convert crop waste into clean, renewable fuel," Pradhan added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cinnamon: The Hidden Blood Sugar Enemy?
