The district is witnessing a festive atmosphere as the annual paddy procurement drive progresses at full pace. Under the Kharif Marketing Year 2025–26, the state government has fixed the Minimum Support Price (MSP) at ₹3,100 per quintal, along with a provision to procure up to 21 quintals per acre, creating widespread enthusiasm among farmers.

Under the direction of Collector Smt. Tulika Prajapati, extensive arrangements have been made at all procurement centres to ensure smooth and transparent operations. Each centre has been equipped with electronic weighing machines, drinking water facilities, shaded waiting areas, biometric devices, adequate labour support, and other essential amenities. Moisture meters are being used to verify the quality of paddy brought to the centres.

All 27 procurement centres in the district have displayed flex boards containing details of purchase rates, guidelines, and centre-wise information. The Collector has ordered continuous monitoring at all centres and strict action against middlemen and agents involved in illegal paddy trading or transportation.

To improve efficiency and reduce crowding, tokens for paddy sale are being issued exclusively through the ‘Token Tunhar Hath’ mobile application, allowing farmers to schedule their visits without waiting unnecessarily at the centres.

According to official data, the district has already procured 1,55,275 quintals of paddy from 43,520 registered farmers, signalling a highly successful start to the procurement season.

India Emerges as Global Talent Powerhouse: NITI Aayog Report Reveals 1:19 Student Mobility Ratio

0
NITI Aayog’s latest report has revealed India’s fast-rising prominence in global talent mobility, highlighting a striking 1:19 ratio between incoming and outgoing students. While an average of 47,000 foreign students study in India annually, nearly 900,000 Indian students pursue higher education abroad each year. Analysts describe this shift as “brain circulation,” not brain drain, as 68% of Indian postgraduates return after completing their degrees overseas. The US, Canada, UK, Australia and Germany remain the most popular destinations for Indian youth. Meanwhile, most foreign students in India come from neighbouring and African nations for medical and technical programmes. With the government’s Study in India initiative aiming to host 200,000 foreign students by 2030, the report underscores India’s emerging status as a global talent hub.
