Jharkhand Cong initiates process to set up panchayat-level committees
He said block-level committees have already been set up.
'There will be 12 members in a panchayat committee, comprising president, two vice presidents and nine general secretaries," Kamlesh said, addressing the party's 'Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan' (organisation rejuvenation campaign) and training programme here.
Kamlesh said mandal committees will also be set up once the exercise of constituting panchayat committees is completed, as the president of the panchayat committee will be a member of the mandal committee.
The event was attended by block presidents, block observers and mandal presidents of Ranchi and Khunti districts, besides senior party leaders and state ministers. The party's appointment letters were also handed over to the newly appointed mandal presidents on the occasion.
'The block presidents, observers and mandal presidents will visit villages and speak to the people and elected members of panchayat committees to know about the issues. Constituting a panchayat committee is a tough task, as we have to find persons who are fully devoted to the Congress," he said.
'We held a workshop on PESA in Ranchi. A model PESA law will be implemented," he added.
Kamlesh said that the party is also fighting for the inclusion of Sarna religious code in the upcoming Census. PTI SAN SAN ACD

Abdullah calls for holistic implementation of NEP, calls it ‘magnificent and far-reaching' framework
Abdullah underscored the need for comprehensive, inclusive and locally adaptable implementation of the NEP 2020, calling it a visionary document whose success depends entirely on its understanding and execution at the grassroots level. The chief minister was addressing a one-day conference on NEP-2020 themed 'Empowering Education Leaders for Holistic Education' in Srinagar. Srinagar, Jul 22 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday advocated for a holistic implementation of the National Education Policy, and urged educators to empower learners. Emphasising the importance of reflection and course correction, the chief minister said, 'The New Education Policy is now five years old. This is the time to evaluate where we have succeeded, where we have fallen short, and what more can be done to implement it better'. A policy is only as effective as its application and understanding, he said. Terming the NEP-2020 a 'magnificent and far-reaching' framework, Abdullah stressed that the real change will come only when the policy is understood in its true spirit and implemented with sensitivity to local needs and realities. Pointing to gaps in subject availability and staff, the chief minister said that many government schools and colleges are unable to offer a wide range of subjects due to faculty shortages. 'In Jammu, only a few schools offer Urdu; in Kashmir, a few offer Hindi. Even regional languages like Kashmiri, Dogri, or Punjabi are taught in very limited number of institutions. These gaps need to be filled gradually, within our available resources,' he said. He also addressed frequent comparisons between government and private schools, highlighting that government institutions operate in areas where private schools often do not venture. 'Setting up a school in Srinagar is easy. Try opening one in Gurez, Tangdhar, or Machil. Our teachers work in extreme conditions, away from the spotlight, and deserve recognition,' he said. Abdullah also emphasized the importance of inclusivity in education. 'Every child — regardless of physical or learning challenges — deserves a chance to learn. Are our schools truly inclusive and accessible to all? This workshop is a good step in that direction,' he said. The chief minister expressed hope that such engagements will continue to inspire a positive change across the educational landscape of Jammu and Kashmir.

EU-India partnership to promote sustainable water management: GIZ Director Laura Sustersic
She was speaking at a consultative meeting on Barak River Basin management plan and collaboration between Indian-EU initiative and Brahmaputra board held at Nagaland Civil Secretariat, an official statement said here. Delivering the introductory remarks at a stakeholder event, Sustersic said the collaboration aims to share best practices, adapt European experiences to the Indian context, and develop sustainable and scalable solutions for water management. Kohima, Jul 22 (PTI) Director of GIZ India, Laura Sustersic, on Tuesday stressed on the significance of the strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and India in addressing water resource challenges. She emphasised that the initiative focuses on integrated water resource management, innovation, and climate-resilient practices tailored to local needs. 'Through this partnership, we hope to strengthen capacities, encourage policy dialogue, and foster practical, community-based approaches to sustainable water use,' she stated. The event, attended by government officials, environmental experts, and community representatives, centred on identifying region-specific solutions for water scarcity and pollution — issues increasingly critical amid changing climate patterns. Officials from the State Water Resources Department and representatives from the EU delegation echoed similar concerns and stressed the need for convergence between international expertise and grassroots action. The collaboration is part of the larger EU-India Water Partnership (EU-IWP), supported by GIZ under the Indo-German development cooperation framework. Participants also discussed case studies and successful European water governance models that could be adapted to India's decentralised administrative systems. The initiative aims to pilot innovative interventions in selected Indian states, with a focus on long-term sustainability, inclusion, and replicability across regions, the statement added.
