The department has planned to grow high yield Pant Arhar -6 variety across 500 hectares and Kota Urad- 6 in 760 hectares during this monsoon season. "A total of 2,500 mini kits seeds weighing 4 kg of Arhar are to be distributed along with 3,800 mini kits of Urad," Ajit Kumar, technical advisor to the district agriculture department, said.
District agriculture officer (DAO) Vijay Kujur said, "These two new varieties of pulses will not only raise the production but also replace the traditional varieties which are less yielding types.
Once the farmer will grow these two varieties of seeds, they can use the harvest as seeds for at least next three years."
The district has a total 2.436 lakh hectares of cultivable land. Of the total, pulses are grown in around 30,000 hectares, officials said.
The department has also planned to distribute VL 379 variety of finger millet for its cultivation in 1360 hectares, the officials added.
Gumla: The district agriculture department will high-yield varieties of pulses among the farmers during the kharif season this year.
The move, officials said, is aimed at reducing the dependency on the import of pulses, ensuring soil fertility through nitrogen fixation and raising the income of farmers by covering fallow and barren lands.

Indias Global Capability Centres plan to expand workforce in FY26: Report
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are preparing for a talent expansion in 2025, with most HR leaders across sectors expect aggressive hiring expansion during 2025-26, says a report. According to the report by Taggd in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and JLL India, hiring sentiment remains strong for FY26, with 48 per cent of GCCs expected to increase hiring, while 19 per cent will maintain similar hiring levels seen in FY24. The report titled 'Cracking the Growth Code for GCCs in India", captures insights from over 100 GCCs across sectors. Early-career lateral talent with 1-5 years of experience remains the core hiring focus for GCCs, balancing cost, capability, and adaptability, the report said. 'For leaders building or scaling GCCs here, India's unique context demands a strategic, location-aware, and talent-centric approach that goes beyond global playbooks," Devashish Sharma, CEO, Taggd said. The report also revealed how the average tenure expectations have decreased significantly, with Gen Z professionals preferring not to remain in the same role for more than 18-24 months because of reasons such as limited career advancement and role stagnation. Moreover, there is a shifting location strategy, Tier 1 cities remain the epicentre, with 60 per cent of GCCs planning to hire exclusively from these six established hubs, while, 29 per cent plan to hire across a mix of Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, and 13 per cent expect to hire in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. 'Growth of GCCs in India continues to reshape the commercial landscape. Organisations are adopting distributed workforce strategies, leading to a significant shift in their real estate needs," said Ajit Kumar, Managing Director – Work Dynamics Accounts, West Asia at JLL India. The report further noted that Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming recruitment within GCCs, with 48 per cent planning to adopt AI-based hiring tools, while 24 per cent have already implemented them to varying degrees.

Little Pepe Crypto Price Prediction: Here's Where LILPEPE Will Be in 12 Months
Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has been turning heads—and investor portfolios—since its presale launched. Now in its sixth round, priced at $0.0015, the project has raised over $7.6 million in just over a month. With each stage growing in price and traction, what might the next 12 months hold for this meme-powered Layer 2 token? Presale Momentum: More Than Just Memes What sets Little Pepe apart from typical meme tokens is the speed and scale of its presale. Stage 5 wrapped quickly, bringing the total investment past $6.5 million. Now in Stage 6, millions more are streaming in, and a fresh batch of meme enthusiasts are buying in before the next price bump. This surge is more than just enthusiasm—it's investors voting with their wallets. An ambitious 'Meme Launchpad" promises to onboard more creators, while yield rewards and zero trading tax help retain the community's loyalty. That's a blend of fun, speed, and infrastructure—rare in meme-focused crypto. Layer 2 Advantage Fuels Usability The genius of a meme coin isn't only in its jokes—it's in how easily anyone can interact with it. Little Pepe's Layer 2 environment solves critical usability problems. Compared to Ethereum's crowded mainnet, LILPEPE operates with minimal latency and gas costs under a penny. That matters not just for presale buyers, but for the token's future as a platform. Once the chain's live, it will be easy to trade, easy to stake, and easy to integrate into dApps—all without the usual friction. That addresses one fatal flaw of meme tokens: their tendency to pump and abandon the ecosystem. Little Pepe's infrastructure makes long-term utility possible. Think decentralized apps, contests, airdrops, staking, DAO votes—all built into an Ethereum-adjacent chain. For a token that started as a joke, it's taking itself seriously—and that's a powerful combination. Market Comparisons and Analyst Projections CryptoPotato noted LILPEPE may offer post-launch gains of up to 60x for early buyers, and could aim as high as $3 if momentum keeps climbing. That would be a monumental rise from today's $0.0015, landing strong returns—but only if adoption aligns. Fund managers tracking this raise often cite tokenomics as a key strength. With clearly structured presale tiers, a rising price, consistent transparency, and a Fusion of memetic and tech appeal, Little Pepe is drawing comparisons to past breakout cryptos—but with far more infrastructure under the hood. What Could LILPEPE Look Like in 12 Months? Forecasting crypto is never certain, but three potential scenarios illustrate where LILPEPE may land: Skeptical Case: $0.01–$0.03 If token launches deliver usability but no viral spike, LILPEPE could achieve steady adoption. Integrations, staking, and a launchpad may attract a solid base, pushing the token into the cent range by mid‑2026. Target Expectation: $0.10–$0.50 Should the chain attract creators, exchanges, DeFi integrations, and its $777K giveaway drive mass exposure, LILPEPE could find itself in the crucial multi‑digit cent zone. This mirrors its meme-token peers that became infrastructural, not just viral. Bull Case: $1+ In a full-on meme renaissance, pushed by a major CEX listing, headline stealers, platform adoption, and media hype, LILPEPE might cross the $1 mark within 12 months. That's a serious leap—but not impossible if story, tech, and community align. LILPEPE's Growth Catalysts Several pillars underpin this bullish outlook. The chain's ultra-fast, low-fee architecture sets it apart; young tokens that solve real friction often outperform meme-only counterparts. Community momentum bolstered by the giveaway and Listings on CoinMarketCap suggests broader visibility. Furthermore, LILPEPE's token structure—with liquidity allocated, presale mechanics transparent, and ecosystem tokens reserved—signals a carefully planned launch intended to sustain long-term engagement. That's not typical for a token emerging solely from meme culture. Closing Thoughts Predicting $1 for LILPEPE means a 667x gain from today. That may seem ambitious, but what it really reflects is the rare alignment of meme virality and blockchain utility. A token that balances both has a shot at rewriting expectations. Although Cryptocurrencies can be volatile, Little Pepe isn't just another joke. It has presale velocity, clear infrastructure, a dedicated community, and the kind of tokenomics that reward both early entry and long-term holding. If all indicators hold—and if the roadmap is delivered—then a $0.10–$1 price range by summer 2026 is no longer a moonshot. It's a calculated climb. So, what will be LILPEPE's worth in a year? If all stars align, it won't just be a meme, it could be the next big thing in the cryptocurrency world. view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 12:45 IST News agency-feeds Little Pepe Crypto Price Prediction: Here's Where LILPEPE Will Be in 12 Months Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
