projects involving the redevelopment of old housing societies and rehabilitation are the mainstay of the Mumbai region's property market, as the land-starved city and its peripheral areas have few vacant land parcels.

Online attendance at all UP Board schools from July
Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board commonly known as UP Board will begin online attendance system for teachers and students in all govt, aided and private schools affiliated to it from July. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "With the implementation of this system, not only will the attendance system will become transparent, but also prove helpful in monitoring the teaching system and improving quality. The principals of the schools will fill the attendance of all students and teachers on a special portal daily. The demo of this digital system will be on June 23," said UP Board secretary Bhagwati Singh. Singh said the purpose is to ensure that studies are done regularly and teachers are present in school on time. "This will also prevent fake attendance too. Also, getting real data of student attendance will help in controlling the dropout rate and monitoring the studies of the students," he said. In another important development, new textbooks of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) syllabus will be available in this session in the first week of July. UP Board included NCERT syllabus in 36 major subjects from the academic session 2018-19. NCERT did not give permission to print new books in 2021-22 due to non-payment of royalty. Permission was given on the request of UP Board for payment of royalty, but later it was not paid. In such a situation, NCERT did not give permission to print new textbooks for the session 2024-25. After this, the Board sent a letter to the govt. After getting permission from the govt, the board secretary paid the outstanding royalty of Rs 2.99 crore. Following this, the Board completed the tender process for printing books and issued a work order. The task of printing textbooks and making them available in the market has been given to four printers.

Lake levels rise 12% in 24hrs, easing water cut fears
Mumbai: The water stock in the seven lakes that supply to the city saw the steepest single-day increase this monsoon between June 19 and 20, surging from 1.9 lakh million litres (13.19% of total capacity) to 3.64 lakh million litres (25.17%). Earlier this week, on June 17 (Tuesday), the lake stock had dipped below 10%, reaching a worrying 9.78%, prompting the BMC to tap into its reserve stock, which the civic body has stopped following heavy rainfall in the lake catchment areas across Thane, Palghar and Nashik. The seven lakes are: Tansa, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Tulsi, Vihar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna. Officials from the hydraulic department attributed the 12% jump in lake stock to intense rainfall in their catchment areas. The rise has eased fears of immediate water cuts. The civic body usually imposes water cuts in the 5-10% range in June of there is inadequate rainfall. Last year, for instance, a 10% water cut was imposed in the city from June 5 to July 29 after lake levels had dipped. Civic hydraulic department chief engineer Purshottam Malawade said that water cuts had anyway been ruled out as the BMC dipped into reserves, which would have sustained the city's needs until July. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Mumbai has a daily water requirement of 4,200 MLD (million litres per day). Meanwhile, Ransai Dam has begun overflowing, bringing relief to Uran township. The MIDC-run dam, which provides 35 million litres of water a day to Uran, ONGC, defence facilities, JNPT, Nhava Sheva, and 22 grampanchayats in Uran taluka, has resumed regular distribution. The facility implemented twice-weekly water restrictions since December due to reduced levels but has now achieved its complete storage capacity of 10 million cubic metres following substantial rainfall. Earlier this week, Powai lake, which supplies 10 MLD of water for industrial purposes, overflowed. Concerns over the lake have been consistent as 16-18 MLD of sewage enters it. BMC said it has a plan that includes diverting sewage lines, setting up a sewage treatment plant, and intensifying the removal of water hyacinth to restore the ecological health of the lake.

Iran-Israel conflict fallout: Basmati glut meets export drought
Amritsar: The Israel-Iran conflict has triggered a crisis in the Indian basmati market, leading to an oversupply and a sharp decline in prices. Warehouses are overflowing with basmati bags due to the suspension of exports to Gulf countries, especially Iran, which alone consumes 20% of Indian basmati, primarily sourced from Punjab and Haryana. According to market analysts, the financial year 2024–25 began with a promise as India's basmati rice exports soared to 60 lakh tonne, an 8 lakh tonne increase over the previous year. "It was a strong sign of global appetite and growing demand for Indian basmati, particularly from Iran and the broader Middle East, which absorb nearly 75% of India's basmati, especially the Sela (parboiled) variety cherished in Iranian kitchens," said Tejinder Singh, chief executive officer of Amar Singh Chawla Wala, makers of the popular Lal Qila basmati brand, With Iran threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz—a vital trade artery—major shipping lines have suspended operations to Iranian ports. Insurance companies have backed out, unwilling to risk covering shipments through a war zone. The vessels en route were docked at Iranian ports, where they offloaded their cargo, Tejinder said. Tejinder further said that the glut of basmati has started to choke the Indian market, and its ripple effects are now hitting every level of the supply chain. He said that the prices have dropped from Rs 7,000 per quintal to Rs 6,200. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo Export prices, once commanding between $850 to $950 per tonne, have seen a 10-15% decline. With the new basmati crop expected to arrive from mid-Sept through Nov, the situation is set to worsen. Rattan Singh, a farmer, said that they were hoping to cash in on strong prices, but under the present circumstances, the rates could fall by Rs 500 per quintal for both PUSA 1509, 1121, and other variants. "This glut is unlike anything we have seen in recent years. And it's not because of poor demand. It's because the world has stopped moving," he added. At the heart of the crisis lies Iran, where not only the shipping lines have collapsed, but so has the banking system. Tejinder said that the ongoing conflict has rendered financial transactions nearly impossible. At any given time, nearly Rs 100 crore of Indian basmati exporter money is stuck in Iranian channels, held up by broken payment links and frozen banking infrastructure. R S Sachdeva, former chairperson of the Punjab state chapter, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said if the export ban continues and the new crop arrives amidst an already saturated market, prices will crash further. "The brunt of this will fall on the farmers—many of whom are smallholders who cannot afford a bad season. Loans taken in anticipation of a lucrative year may spiral into debt traps," he observed. Yet, there is a sliver of hope. Many believe that when exports eventually resume, there will be a surge in demand. "After all, Iran and the Middle East cannot go without their staple. International organisations, possibly the UN or food aid agencies, may step in to ensure food security in conflict-ridden regions. Rice is not a luxury for them but a necessity; then the market will boom again," hoped Tejinder. MSID:: 121975248 413 |
