Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh: In a significant move to address the ongoing agrarian distress in drought-hit regions of Southern Andhra Pradesh, Union Agriculture Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan convened a high-level review meeting with the Andhra Pradesh state leadership, including ministers and senior officials. Held at the PGRS Hall in the District Collectorate, Puttaparthi, Sri Sathya Sai district, the meeting focused on drought mitigation strategies, the promotion of organic farming, and boosting cultivation under the National Palm Oil Mission.

The Union Minister emphasized the need for a sustainable and collaborative approach to address the acute water scarcity and recurring droughts faced by farmers in the Rayalaseema region, one of the most drought-prone zones in India.

Collaborative Framework for Drought Mitigation

Addressing the media after the review meeting, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated:

“This region faces specific challenges — low rainfall and frequent droughts, which put farming and farmers in distress. The current Andhra Pradesh government under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Chandrababu Naidu has taken commendable steps to promote drip irrigation, horticulture, and farmer-centric governance.”

He added that an Integrated Action Plan will be developed jointly by the Centre and State, focused on short- and long-term solutions for agriculture sustainability, water conservation, and infrastructure development in the drought-hit districts.

  • Scientists from Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)

  • Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare

  • Experts from Rural Development, Watershed Management, and Land Resources

The team will undertake a comprehensive assessment of ground conditions and design actionable strategies to enhance climate-resilient agriculture, especially in areas suffering from rainfall deficit.

Integrated Farming and Climate-Resilient Practices

As part of a holistic approach, Shri Chouhan highlighted the promotion of Integrated Farming Systems, which include:

  • Fruit and vegetable cultivation

  • Agroforestry

  • Beekeeping

  • Animal husbandry

The minister also underlined the importance of developing and distributing drought-resistant seed varieties and diversifying crop patterns to reduce farmer vulnerability.

In addition, he assured that efforts will be made to enhance rainwater harvesting, undertake afforestation drives, and explore possibilities with the Ministry of Jal Shakti to divert water from the Tungabhadra and Krishna rivers to water-deficient zones of Rayalaseema.

Focus on Organic Farming and Palm Oil Mission

The review meeting also covered ways to scale up organic farming practices in Andhra Pradesh. The Minister emphasized that adopting organic and sustainable agricultural methods not only reduces input costs but also opens up export opportunities and health-conscious domestic markets.

Additionally, discussions were held on strengthening the National Edible Oil Mission – Oil Palm (NMEO-OP). The Union Government and the State are exploring suitable regions within Andhra Pradesh for expansion of palm oil plantations, including setting up processing infrastructure to ensure farmer profitability.

Political and Administrative Cooperation

Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan took a moment to praise Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, stating:

“The development work done under the leadership of CM Naidu is commendable. Unlike the previous regime which diverted central funds and failed to support farmers adequately, the present administration is working in true federal spirit.”

The Minister affirmed that the Centre will continue to provide financial and technical support, and any bottlenecks in project execution will be jointly resolved.

Conclusion: Hope for the Rayalaseema Farmer

The Union Minister closed the session on an optimistic note:

“We have agreed to prepare an Integrated Action Plan, and both the State and Central governments will implement it together. I am confident that this cooperative strategy will help uplift farmers, ensure water security, and introduce a sustainable model of development in the affected districts.”

This engagement marks a pivotal step in India’s broader strategy to tackle climate-induced agricultural stress, align with sustainable development goals, and empower marginal farmers with modern technologies, scientific research, and infrastructural support.

  • Rising commodity prices, especially crude oil

  • Global geopolitical tensions impacting FIIs’ flows

The Banking, Financial Services, and Realty sectors showed relative weakness, while selective stocks in mid-caps and thematic sectors like waste management, infrastructure, and specialty manufacturing saw sharp rallies.

Looking Ahead: What to Watch

As the market enters the earnings season, investors and analysts will closely track:

  • Q1FY26 corporate results, especially from large-cap banks, IT majors, and consumer goods companies

  • Macroeconomic data including CPI inflation and IIP figures

  • Movement in global bond yields and foreign exchange markets

  • Sector-specific policy updates ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament

Investors are advised to adopt a stock-specific approach, focusing on fundamentals, earnings resilience, and management commentary, especially in volatile times like these.

Conclusion

The Indian stock market closed in the red on 10 July 2025, reflecting mixed global cues, profit booking, and prevailing caution among domestic investors ahead of key economic data. Despite the overall subdued sentiment dragging down benchmark indices like the NIFTY 50 and NIFTY BANK, the day revealed a more nuanced picture beneath the surface. Small-cap and mid-cap counters showed sharp upward momentum, indicating selective accumulation by institutional and savvy retail investors.

This trend highlights a growing appetite for theme-based and value-driven bets, particularly in sectors benefiting from structural reforms or cyclical tailwinds. The divergence between broader indices and stock-specific performances suggests that while headline indices may face short-term headwinds, the underlying tone remains constructive, especially in micro and niche segments poised for long-term growth.

Agra Transforms Kuberpur Landfill into Integrated Waste Management City under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban: July 2025

Agra: In a groundbreaking achievement under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U), the Agra Municipal Corporation has successfully transformed the Kuberpur dumpsite, once a symbol of urban waste accumulation, into a national model of sustainability — now recognized as the Integrated Waste Management City of Agra. This transformation marks a historic milestone in India’s journey toward clean, green, and resilient urban development.

From Landfill Legacy to Environmental Landmark

Established in 2007 as a conventional landfill, Kuberpur gradually grew into a site of environmental concern, accumulating over 1.9 million metric tons of waste over the years. In 2019, inspired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat vision and supported by Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath, the Agra Municipal Corporation launched an ambitious clean-up initiative.

Backed by technical collaboration with SPAAK Super Infra Pvt. Ltd., the legacy waste removal process began using bioremediation and biomining technologies, initiating the largest land reclamation effort in the city’s history.



A Multi-Pronged Approach to Urban Waste Management

By the end of December 2024, the massive clean-up effort had removed the entire 1.9 million metric tons of waste, reclaiming 47 acres of land at an estimated cost of ₹320 crores. The reclaimed land has since been repurposed:

  • 10 acres developed as green zones using the Miyawaki afforestation technique

  • 5 acres converted into a modern sanitary landfill for inert waste

  • The remainder earmarked for an urban forest and eco-friendly infrastructure

Simultaneously, several high-capacity waste management facilities were operationalized to ensure no fresh dumping occurs:

  • A Waste-to-Compost Plant, launched in 2019 with an initial 300 TPD capacity, expanded to 500 TPD

  • Four Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) with a total capacity of 405 TPD

  • 100% source-level segregation and door-to-door collection made mandatory across the city

  • A 65 TPD MRF-cum-Plastic Waste Processing Plant, inaugurated in January 2025, that recycles plastic into affordable agricultural water pipes

Model for Urban Sustainability and Education

Beyond waste management, the Kuberpur site now serves as an educational and awareness center for:

  • Students from schools, colleges, and IITs

  • Researchers from public and private universities

  • Urban planners and environmental scientists

The site embodies an experiential learning hub where sustainable waste management practices are demonstrated in real time, reinforcing the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

A National Template for Smart, Sustainable Cities

With the Integrated Waste Management City of Agra, the Agra Municipal Corporation has set a national precedent in:

  • Land reclamation and reuse

  • Circular economy in waste management

  • Ecological restoration and urban afforestation

  • People-centered governance and awareness

This model aligns with the core vision of SBM-U 2.0, emphasizing zero-landfill, decentralised processing, and green infrastructure, positioning Agra as a leader in urban environmental governance.

Conclusion:

Agra’s transformation of Kuberpur from a polluted landfill into a green, functional, and educational epicenter is a landmark achievement in sustainable urban development. It reflects the power of visionary municipal leadership, inter-agency collaboration, and community engagement—paving the way for cities across India to replicate and scale such efforts toward a Swachh, Sundar, and Sustainable Bharat.
