Chittoor Collector urges farmers to look towards poultry and dairy sector
The Collector said that farmers, who are interested in poultry, will be given training by successful poultry farmers in coordination with the National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC). Further, the government will also discuss with bank officials and ensure loans to those who are interested to set up poultry farms.
Mr. Sumit Kumar asked the interested farmers to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the same. He asked the officials to prepare a list of those interested to invest in poultry and dairy sectors and assured that discussions will be held with the banks to grant loans to interested farmers.
NECC executive committee member Ramesh said that those who are interested in the sector alone can succeed in the business and assured to extend all possible support to them.

Slurry tunnel boring machines to be deployed for Bengaluru Twin Tunnel Road Project
Slurry tunnel boring machines (TBMs) will be deployed for the construction of Twin Tunnel Road between Hebbal Esteem Mall Junction and Silk Board Junction in Bengaluru. The Special Purpose Vehicle, B-SMILE, has ruled out the alternative option of using hard rock TBMs, which are generally more suitable for boulder-heavy terrains. Although this was considered, B-SMILE ultimately preferred slurry TBMs due to Bengaluru's geological composition, which is a combination of boulders and soil. B.S. Prahlad, director (Technical), B-SMILE, told The Hindu that hard rock TBMs had been used in a tunnel project in Mumbai, but issues were encountered there. 'So, we opted for slurry TBMs instead,' he said. Slurry TBMs use hydraulic methods to transport the excavated material and are best suited for mixed terrain. Namma Metro has traditionally used a combination of slurry TBMs and Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBMs. 'As our terrain is mixed in nature, there's a high risk of damage to the blades of Hard Rock TBMs. In contrast, slurry TBMs use bentonite, which allows the springs or blades to adjust based on the pressure exerted on the excavator, making it ideal for Bengaluru's terrain,' Mr. Prahlad explained. Bentonite, a type of clay, plays a crucial role in slurry TBM operations by helping regulate pressure. The government has finalised the use of eight TBMs for the project. These will be deployed from five to six different launching shafts to begin excavation. Mr. Prahallad mentioned that the entire project tender has been issued under the Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) model, which means that the winning bidders will be responsible for procuring the TBMs themselves. When asked about the technical specifications of the TBMs, Mr. Prahlad clarified that it is up to the contractors to decide whether to purchase the machines outright or assemble them locally. Historically, TBMs used in Bengaluru (by Namma Metro) have averaged a progress rate of 1.6 to 1.7 km per year. While similar efficiency is expected for this tunnel project, the deciding factor will be the nature of the terrain encountered during excavation. According to Mr. Prahallad, B-SMILE has only provided the borewell survey report along with the tender documents, in compliance with guidelines from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Any further geological analysis is the responsibility of the contractors, given the BOOT model structure of the project. 'The tender clearly states that supporting documents, such as geotechnical data, are to be treated as references only. The contractors are required to conduct their own in-depth analyses,' Mr. Prahlad said. The Detailed Project Report had originally specified that intrusive surveys would be conducted well before the tendering process. However, with the current model, the responsibility for detailed analysis now rests with the successful bidder. B-SMILE has rolled out tenders for the 16.7 km long twin tunnel project, aimed at decongesting the city by connecting northern and southern parts. T.J. Renukaprasad, retired professor of geology, explained that the rationale behind choosing slurry TBMs could be to seal the fracture points in the terrain. 'Bengaluru has hard rock terrain, which predominantly has peninsular gneissic rock and is also intruded by many rocks like granite and dolerite. Due to geotechnical activities, there are fractures developed in the terrain; to cement those fractures, they may be using slurry TBMs,' Mr. Renukaprasad said. He explained that these rocks in the Bengaluru terrain are over 3,200 million years old, and some are 2,500 years old.

"Modi Govt, its cheerleaders living in fictional world": Jairam Ramesh on situation of Indian economy
ANI Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh on Friday hit out at the Narendra Modi government for not speaking the truth about the actual state of the Indian economy, saying that wages for most citizens have remained stagnant in the past decade, regardless of their class or sector."The Modi government, its drumbeaters, and cheerleaders are living in a fictional world. They are avoiding speaking the truth about the real state of the economy," Ramesh posted on X. "In the past decade, the wages of most Indians have remained stagnant, regardless of their class or sector. This problem is even more severe in rural India. Household savings have seen a sharp decline, while household debt has risen rapidly. Private consumption, a key driver of growth, is faltering--while consumption of luxury goods has not decreased, which is a clear indication of growing economic inequality," he added. He held the Modi government responsible for "completely devastating' the economy with its decisions, including demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST). "In the past decade, the five shocks delivered by Prime Minister Modi have completely devastated the Indian economy. No one else can be held responsible for this. Demonetisation completely derailed our growth momentum and ruined the livelihoods of crores of Indians. The fundamentally flawed GST--neither good nor simple--has wreaked havoc on thousands of business enterprises across the country. Only those large companies that can afford the heavy costs of complying with GST regulations have survived," Ramesh said. He further stated that "record levels of imports" from China caused lakhs of MSMEs across the country to shut down, especially in Gujarat, where nearly one-third of MSMEs associated with the stainless steel industry ceased operations. "Exports in several key sectors are dependent on imports of raw materials, components, and intermediate goods from China," Ramesh said, adding, "Private investment is no longer as dynamic as it was between 2004 and 2014. Indian industrialists are increasingly taking citizenship in other countries. A regime of raids driven by political vendettas and extortion, coupled with the growing influence of cronyism, has deeply shaken confidence in the Indian economy."
