    New Delhi: Projection mapping shows have been held at 13 heritage sites across the country, including Red Fort and Gateway of India, to mark the 100th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio programme “Mann ki Baat”, officials said on Sunday.

    The programme was aired on Sunday morning.

    On Saturday night, the 13 cultural sites, including ASI-protected monuments such as Mughal-era Red Fort in Delhi and Gwalior Fort in Madhya Pradesh, Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan, Golconda Fort in Telangana, Navratnagarh Fort in Jharkhand, besides the Prime Minister’s Sanghralaya in Delhi were illuminated to mark the occasion.

    “To mark the completion of 100th episode of #MannKiBaat, @MinOfCultureGoI with @ASIGoI is celebrating the occasion in a momentous way through activities like projection mapping shows, photo op, message & audio booths at 13 different iconic monuments across the country,” said a tweet from the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’s official Twitter handle on Sunday.

    It also shared pictures of the some of the sites taken during the shows held on Saturday.

    Earlier in the day, a senior ASI official said the projection mapping will be done at these 13 sites again on Sunday.

    However, later in the evening, another senior ASI official said the show was held only at the Prime Minister’s Sangrahalaya in Delhi, and not at ASI sites.

    “The special show, which lasted for 20-25 minutes, was woven around the theme of nation-building and was people-centric. Each location highlighted the heritage and historical value of the site and the region where it was projected,” the Culture Ministry said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

    The 13 sites also included Sun Temple in Odisha, Vellore Fort in Tamil Nadu, Ramnagar Fort in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur, Rang Ghar in Assam, the Residency building in Lucknow, and Sun Temple in Modhera, Gujarat.

    The projection mapping shows were open to the public free of cost, and the sites featured various activities and exhibits to make the evening more memorable.

    Attendees could listen to pre-installed episodes of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, share their ideas on a message wall, and even take pictures at a specially designed photo booth, the ministry said.

    Since its inception on October 3, 2014, “Mann Ki Baat” has been broadcast on the last Sunday of every month at 11 am on All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan (DD). The show reflects the prime minister’s “conviction and desire to have an inclusionary and people-centric approach to governance”, the statement said.

  • Imea maintains projection for 22/23 soybeans in Mato Grosso at 42.8 million t, with an upward bias – ISTOÉ DINHEIRO

    SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Soy production in Mato Grosso should reach a record 42.8 million tons in the 2022/23 harvest, the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea) said on Monday, maintaining the projection released at the beginning of the month.

    The institute’s expectation may still increase, depending on the results obtained by the end of the harvest, which reached 76.27% last Friday, commented the superintendent of Imea, Cleiton Gauer, in a videoconference.

    If confirmed, oilseed production will already represent an annual increase of 4.82% for the largest Brazilian soy producer.

    Along the same lines, the outlook for corn second crop production in the State was maintained at 46.4 million tons, driven mainly by the increase in planting area, estimated at 3.78%, to 7.42 million hectares.

    The cereal harvest, if confirmed, will be 5.87% greater than that harvested in the previous year, according to the data, despite 20% of crops being planted outside the most productive period.

    “The delay we saw in the soy harvest ends up being impacted in the sowing of corn and cotton… we’ve seen in recent years and on average,” said Gauer.

    On the other hand, he stated that meteorological forecasts indicate that Mato Grosso should receive rainfall with averages above 60 millimeters over the next 60 days, “which provides conditions for areas to develop in the State”.

    Gauer pointed out that anticipated sales of the 2022/23 corn crop have taken place at a slower pace, with producers cautious about negotiating large volumes before the harvest results and also in the face of uncertainties about the prices that will be practiced in the market.

    Planting of the second corn crop in south-central Brazil reached 39.1% of the estimated area of ​​14.9 million hectares, according to a survey by consulting firm Safras & Mercado released this Monday, with data up to February 24.

    In the same period last year, cultivation reached 52.4% in the region that includes Mato Grosso, while the average planting rate in the last five years is 48.7%.

    In the Matopiba region –comprising Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia– the sowing of the “safrinha” reached 10% of the estimated area of ​​1.244 million hectares, against 4.6% a year before and a historical average of 2.8 %.

    While some states are planting the second crop of corn, others are in the process of harvesting the summer grain. According to Safras, the removal of corn from the fields reached 27.6% in Brazil, delayed compared to 39% a year earlier, but above the historical average of 25.2%.

    The superintendent of the Imea also pointed out that the forecast for the production of cotton in Mato Grosso was also maintained, in relation to the beginning of the month, at 1.936 million tons of lint, an increase of 6.8% in relation to the previous season.
