Centre has allocated Rs. 10000 crore additional funds for MGNREGS as an interim measure. The funds are still not enough to cover the scheme expenditure even after including this allocation. Centre, however, stated that it is committed to releasing funds for proper implementation of the scheme.
Centre constituted a Group of Food Secretaries from States and senior Central government officials to work on the framework of Community Kitchen Scheme.
Government will soon start a scheme for boosting the research and development of electrolyzers. This will help India in achieving its target of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030.
As per the Phase 2 Data of National Family Health Survey 5, India’s fertility rate (total) [TFR] has reduced for the first time ever. Since India’s TFR has fallen below 2.1, rate at which population remains stable, India’s population will now begin to fall. Health Ministry is going to take a district-focussed approach to control the population, especially where TFR hasn’t come under control.
Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Shekhawat started the River Cities Alliance Platform to facilitate cities to discuss ideas to sustainably manage rivers in urban areas. They will discuss reducing water footprint and pollution, recycling and reuse strategies and making water resources sustainable and cities self-sufficient.
