Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s adopted Jayapur village in Varanasi has been transformed into ‘adarsh gram’ with all development projects almost complete.
And to mark the occasion, a function will be organised in the village this Sunday which will be attended by union minister for food processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal.
Officials said that Badal will also handover the houses built in ‘Atal Nagar’ to 14 beneficiaries of the Musahar community in Jayapur on the day.
“The minister can also make some important announcements for the village during the programme,” a BJP worker said.

To note, a comprehensive report of the development works carried out in Jayapur has already been sent to the PMO, less than a year after it was adopted by Prime Minister Modi.

3000 Crore Saved

"To stop train pull chain" notice inside railway coaches is soon set to become history. The railway ministry has decided to do away with these chains. An official said railways had incurred a loss of Rs 3,000 crore because trains ran late with the indiscriminate chain-pulling for no good reason.

At Izzatnagar in Bareilly, the work of removing the chains from trains has already begun. Officials say that as an alternative arrangement, the mobile phone number of the driver and assistant driver could be displayed in coaches, so passengers can call in case of an emergency.

Rajendra Singh, public relations officer of the North Eastern Railways, Izzatnagar division, said, "The alarm chains will no longer be installed in new coaches being manufactured at rail coach factories across the country. The Railway Board has already issued a notification requiring that the chains not be installed. Maintenance workshops have already started removing the alarm chains from existing coaches. At Izzatnagar railway workshop, technicians have already started removing the alarm chain from coaches coming in for maintenance."

He said that in addition to displaying the mobile phone numbers of the driver and assistant driver, one employee carrying a walkie-talkie would be present for every three coaches in each train.

Singh said it was no secret that the chain was rampantly misused by travellers who pulled it in self-interest rather that in case of emergency. The alarm chain is meant to be pulled only in case of emergency, and only when contact cannot be established with the travelling ticket examiner (TTE) on board. As things are now, people pull the chain when relatives or friends might miss the train, the officer said.

During a recent visit to the city, Union minister of state for railways Manoj Sinha had said that chain-pulling to stop the train was a big menace in UP and Bihar, and train schedules were thrown out of whack by miscreants who pulled the chain for no good reason, causing huge losses to the railways.

Divisional railway manager, (DRM) Izzatnagar division, Chandra Mohan Jindal, said, "It is undeniable that chain-pulling is among the major factors delaying trains. This has come up for discussion before the Railway Board. The problem is acute in states like Bihar UP, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana."

1500 crore saved

The government is expected to save foreign exchange worth Rs 1,500 crore by commissioning two new bank paper lines in Hoshangabad and Mysore for indigenously printing Indian currency.

  1. The New Bank Note Paper Line of 6,000 million tonnes (MT) capacity at Security Paper Mill (SPM), Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh, 
  2.  While the Bank Note Paper Line in Mysore with 12,000 MT capacity is expected to be commissioned by the year end. 
"The combined savings of foreign exchange from these two Bank Note projects will be about Rs 1,500 crore in the coming years," a finance ministry said in a statement. The production of the Bank Note paper from these two units will reduce the import considerably, it said. This will also reduce possibility of diversion of the paper supplied by the foreign suppliers to the other destinations for the purpose of generating the fake currency, it said. "Commissioning of this project is part of Make-in-India, Indigenisation of Currency and to become self-reliant in production of the raw materials requirement for the production of the Bank Notes," it said.

At the same time, the Finance Minister will flag off the first consignment of Rs 1,000 Bank Note paper made indigenously for Currency Note Press, Nashik.

Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL) has also set up another Joint Venture Company called Bank Note Paper Mill India Pvt at Mysore besides SPM, Hoshangabad. SPMCIL was incorporated in 2006 and has nine units engaged in minting of coins, printing of banknotes, passports, postal stationery, non-judicial stamp papers, and other security documents & security paper.

Note by mohan

The purpose of these plants is to manufacture paper of currency note quality and specification. These plants may create only local jobs. Actual printing of currency still remains the same, except the paper is Indian.
Currently, Pak also sources these papers from the same international vendors from where we buy - and then they print FICN - fake Indian currency note and divert it to Indian to sabotage economy. With our own paper slowly this menace is planned to be brought under control.
