Solar system installations underway in BharatNet sites in Meghalaya
Shillong: In a major thrust to rural electrification and digital connectivity, the Meghalaya New and Renewable Energy Development Agency is installing off-grid solar systems at 63 BharatNet-1 sites across the state, including government schools, ICDS centres, and community halls, officials said on Tuesday. The initiative aims to ensure uninterrupted power for BharatNet infrastructure using off-grid solar systems, enhancing internet access in remote areas while promoting clean energy , they said. BharatNet is an ambitious project of the Centre aimed at providing broadband connectivity to all Gram Panchayats (GPs) in the country. "This intervention is not just about electrification. It's about empowering rural communities with access to digital services, education, and clean energy," MNREDA Director Joram Beda said. Under the BharatNet project, solarisation of 22 government lower primary schools is underway, while installation work has also started at 8 secondary schools, 4 ICDS centres, and 29 community halls, he said. Simultaneously, under the Chief Minister's Solar Mission, 125 lower primary schools in East Garo Hills, 72 with 1.1 kVA and 53 with 2.2 kVA off-grid inverter systems are being solarised, he said. A similar rollout will begin in East Jaintia Hills, covering 123 schools, the official said. "The CM Solar Mission is aimed at making schools energy-resilient, especially in far-flung villages that suffer from frequent outages," Beda added. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), solar hybrid inverter systems are being installed for 492 households in East Khasi Hills' Mylliem block, and 354 beneficiaries in North and East Garo Hills. These include 0.85 kVA and 1.7 kVA systems depending on household needs, another official said.

7th Pay Commission Massive Update: Govt employees likely to get DA likely of 4 percent From THIS month, announcement by…
Home Business 7th Pay Commission Massive Update: Govt employees likely to get DA likely of 4 percent From THIS month, announcement by… 7th Pay Commission Massive Update: Govt employees likely to get DA likely of 4 percent From THIS month, announcement by… Based on these numbers, media reports have estimated a 4% hike in DA effective from July 2025, potentially increasing it from the current 55 percent to 59 percent. 7th Pay Commission: Centre (Representational Image) 7th Pay Commission: The Modi government is likely to increase the Dearness Allowance (DA) of Central government employees from 55 percent to 59 percent, effective July 2025. According to the reports, this anticipated adjustment is based on recent inflation data, particularly the rise in the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW). It is important to note that this DA hike i.e for July-December period, is going to be the last DA hike under the 7th Pay Commission because from January 2026 the government has announced to implement the 8th Pay Commission. According to the data released by Labour Bureau, attached office of the M/o Labour & Employment the All-India CPI-IW for May 2025 increased by 0.5 point and stood 144.0 (one hundred forty four). Year-on-year inflation for the month of May 2025 stood at 2.93 percent as compared to 3.86% in May, 2024. The Bureau has been compiling Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers every month on the basis of retail prices collected from 317 markets spread over 88 industrially important centres in the country. DA Hike Formula Under 7th Pay Commission Dearness Allowance is revised biannually, in January and July, based on the average AICPI-IW data over the past twelve months. The formula for calculating DA is: A (%) = [(Average CPI-IW for past 12 months – 261.42) / 261.42] 100. Using this calculation method, the expected hike is estimated at 4 percent. Will The Last Dearness Allowance Hike Under 7th Pay Commission Be Bigger Than Last Time? The rise in AICPI-IW figures over the past three months — March, April, and May — suggests that the expected Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) for central government employees and pensioners could reach approximately 58.08%. Based on these numbers, media reports have estimated a 4% hike in DA effective from July 2025, potentially increasing it from the current 55% to 59%. This adjustment is anticipated ahead of the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission in January 2026. Announcement Expected in September or October It is important to note that the DA hike will take effect from July, however, the official announcements typically occur later. In previous years, such revisions have been disclosed in September or October, often coinciding with the festive season. This year, the announcement is also anticipated around Diwali.
