1/My heartiest congratulations and gratitude to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi and Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh for announcing this historic package – Agnipath - which is a transformative scheme that will change the profile of the armed forces. #BharatKeAgniveer
2/The Scheme will give an opportunity to the youth between the ages of 17.5 and 21 years to receive military training and serve the nation for a period of 4 years, with a provision of voluntary retention after this period, based on merit. #BharatKeAgniveer
3/The advantages of the Scheme are manifold to the armed forces, to the nation, and to the Agniveers. The armed forces will get a youthful profile, with personnel that are younger, fitter, diverse, and more trainable in a changing technological environment. #BharatKeAgniveer
4/The nation will benefit from the availability of a well-disciplined & skilled youth with military ethos in civil society, which will go a long way in nation-building. #BharatKeAgniveer
5/The Agniveers will get an opportunity to serve the nation, imbibe the military discipline, ethos and skilling, thereby improving their future prospects, a good financial package with several benefits, and a unique résumé. #BharatKeAgniveer
6/At the end of 4 years, Agniveers can leave the service with heads held high,and revert to society as disciplined, trained, skilled citizen. A special package has been created for Agniveers by the @DefenceMinIndia & @FinMinIndia, called the Seva Nidhi package. #BharatKeAgniveer
7/Two highly progressive aspects of Agnipath is that it is open to both men and women, as per the service requirement, and it includes a system that would be put in place to give 12th class certificate to the Agniveers. #BharatKeAgniveer

1/ Good to see the interest generated by @PMOIndia @narendramodi ‘s decision yesterday to bring an Excise Duty cut on petrol and diesel.

Sharing some useful facts.

‘am sure criticism/appraisal can benefit from having them before us.
2/Basic Excise Duty (BED), Special Additional Excise duty (SAED),Road & Infrastructure Cess (RIC) and Agriculture & Infrastructure Development Cess (AIDC) together constitute Excise Duty on petrol and diesel.
 
Basic ED is sharable with states.

SAED,RIC & AIDC are non-sharable.
3/ The excise duty reduction of ₹ 8/litre on petrol and ₹6/litre on diesel (effective from today) has entirely been made in Road & Infrastructure Cess (RIC).

Even in November ‘21, the reduction of ₹ 5/litre in petrol and ₹ 10/litre in diesel was entirely made in RIC.

1/12 Our government, since when @PMOIndia @narendramodi took office, is
devoted to the welfare of the poor.We’ve taken a number of steps to help the poor and middle class. As a result, the average inflation during our tenure has remained lower than during previous governments.
2/12 Today, the world is passing through difficult times. Even as the world is recovering from Covid-19 pandemic, the Ukraine conflict has brought in supply chain problems and shortages of various goods. This is resulting in inflation & economic distress in a lot of countries.
3/12 Even during the pandemic, our government set a paradigm of welfare, especially with PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. This is now acknowledged and appreciated the world over. #PMGKAY

மகர மாயினான், நிகரில் காசியே.” 68

என்றும் காணலாம்.

2. “ஶ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாத் தாம்” திட்டத்தை துவக்கிவைக்கிறார்.

இதனை விவரித்து @vikatan னில் வெளிவந்த இரண்டு கட்டுரைகளை அடுத்த இரண்டு டுவீட்களில் பதிவிடுகிறேன்.இதில் ஒன்று, இத்திருக்கோவிலில் சமிபத்தில் நடந்த குடமுழுக்கிற்கும் தமிழகத்திற்கும் இருக்கும் தொடர்பை விளக்கியுள்ளது.

In 2019, several homebuyers, largely those belonging to middle income groups, made representation to @PMOIndia about their situation- having to pay EMI while continuing to live in rented houses. Projects were stalled, they didn’t get possession of their homes. @PIB_India (1/4)
The real estate sector was under stress. Financial institutions couldn’t give additional funds to complete the projects.

The #middleclass #homebuyers were in a quandary.

After several stakeholder consultations, #SWAMIH Fund was created.

@PIB_India (2/4)
Stalled #RERA-registered projects from all over the country were identified. Steps in due diligence were taken.
Despite #Covid,the @finmin, @DFS_India, @MoHUA_India @TheOfficialSBI worked together. Several state govts were proactive in facilitating the process.

1. Today, @PMOIndia spoke on boosting infrastructure for Kashi (his constituency) and in UP. @narendramodi Ji spoke on #FarmLaws2020 related matters.
In the 5yrs before 2014, ₹1.5 lakh Cr were spent for wheat procurement. Post ‘14 in 5yrs ₹3 lakh Cr (double) were spent.
2. In the 5 yrs pre 2014, ₹2 lakh crores worth paddy was procured compared to ₹5 lakh crores procured in 5 yrs post ‘14.
Procurement of pulses in 5 years pre 2014, was for ₹600Cr. Whereas, for 5 yrs, post ‘14, ₹49000 Cr was spent for pulses procurement (75x more) #FarmLaws
3. Under PM-Kisan more than 10crore farmers get their entitlements directly into their bank accounts. Until now nearly ₹ 1 lakh crore has already reached our farmers. For political gains, in one state, the govt there hasn’t allowed its farmers benefit of this scheme. #FarmLaws
