Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The city sources water from the Ujani Dam, located 80 km from the city, and from the Hipparga barrage. Most of the water is supplied from the dam. The water is released into the Bhima river and is pumped from the pumping stations.

The city will receive water from double-parallel pipelines directly from the dam to the city. Solapur city is included in the Smart City project, through which the centre sanctioned funds for the pipeline project, with some funds from the National Thermal Power Corporation and the state govt, in which 30% of the share will be from the Solapur Municipal Corporation. Vyankatesh Choube, technical officer of the smart city project, said, "The infrastructural works are complete. The trials have started, which will soon be completed, and the water supply project will be commissioned." Asim Gupta, principal secretary of the urban development department, will visit the project sites on Thursday. He will then hold a meeting of the Solapur City Development Corporation at the municipal corporation building. After taking stock of the project, the date for the inauguration of the project will be announced. Solapur city requires 250 million litres of water every day. The water treatment plant (WTP) with a capacity of 60 MLD will be constructed as part of the project.

Over the course of the workshop, participants will engage in an immersive experience that includes academic sessions, life skills training, yoga sessions, sports, and various co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We are inviting achievers in the region to interact with these students so that they can get motivated. It is not just a workshop, but a transformative journey. By offering a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment, the initiative continues to inspire young girls to grow into confident, capable, and future-ready individuals," he claimed. Hujare said that basics of the students' school subjects will also be covered in the workshop. Bidyanand Jha, executive director, NTPC Kudgi, told TOI that GEM is a flagship CSR project launched in 2018 in the vicinity of NTPC power stations across the country. "It was conferred as the first runner-up in the prestigious 2014 UN Women India (Women's Empowering Principles) award in the 'community engagement and partnership' category. This initiative is implemented in NTPC Kudgi since 2021 by conducting a month's residential workshop for rural girl students.

"As soon as we arrived here, we got a kit with all daily need materials - right from footwear to hair clips. We are also getting benefits of medical, menstrual care, and dental check-up camps. At home, we were least bothered about eating and were deprived of nutritious food. Here, we are getting sufficient and nutritious food. Moreover, our lifestyle has improved with habits like waking up early in the morning. We were never away from our parents and hence we were homesick in the beginning. However, caretakers ensured that we synchronised with the new environment and now we feel like this is our own home," they shared.

Locals protest NTPC's conveyor belt plan citing livelihood crisis
1 2 3 Chatra: The National Thermal Power Corporation's (NTPC) 21-km long conveyor belt between Barkagaon and Banadag coal sidings, which will transport 96,000 metric tonnes of coal daily once fully operational next year, has come as a cause for discontent among the local population. The conveyor belt, which was formally launched last month, is transporting 28,000 metric tonnes of coal daily while 3 million metric tons are being transported via road. The locals, whose livelihoods depend on transporting coal through trucks, are staring at a bleak future once the belt becomes fully operational. Ever since the belt's launch, the ferries made by the trucks have been seen a dip. Locals said more than 5,000 people in Kusumbha panchayat under Katkamdag block are dependent on coal transportation from the NTPC's mines for their livings. Most of them purchased trucks by securing loans from banks and worried about repayments. "The belt is creating noise pollution by operating round the clock. Many of us purchased Hyva for employment from the compensation received from the land acquired by NTPC," Basant Yadav, the president of Hyva Owners' Association, said. Over the last two days, locals and transporters have staged protests demanding that the NTPC keeps up in coal supply in trucks. Maintaining that the conveyor belt had made coal transport much more efficient and cost effective, NTPC officials said 3 million tonnes of coal will be transported through it from April 1 next year. Dileep Thakur, public relations officer of NTPC, said the belt system loads 59 wagons within 60 minutes and maintains environmental sensitivity through elevated design. "The elevated conveyor system preserves local flora and fauna, allowing wildlife movement while maintaining operational efficiency," he said. Hazaribag MP Manish Jaiswal said he recently discussed the issue with Union environment minister Bhupendra Yadav. "Highlighting NTPC's decision to eliminate road transport by 2026-27 FY, I advocated for maintaining 50% of the total coal transport through road so that there is no livelihood crisis in the area," he said.
