वर्ष 2027 की जनगणना को इस बार पूरी तरह डिजिटल और आधुनिक बनाया जा रहा है।
जाब डेस्क: वर्ष 2027 की जनगणना को इस बार पूरी तरह डिजिटल और आधुनिक बनाया जा रहा है। इसके तहत लोगों को एक नई सुविधा दी गई है, जिसमें वे सरकारी पोर्टल पर जाकर अपनी और अपने परिवार की जानकारी खुद भर सकेंगे। जानकारी के अनुसार, 1 अप्रैल से जनगणना की प्रक्रिया शुरू हो चुकी है। अब लोगों को घर-घर आने वाले कर्मचारियों का इंतजार करने या लंबी प्रक्रिया से गुजरने की जरूरत नहीं होगी। वे आधिकारिक वेबसाइट के जरिए ऑनलाइन फॉर्म भर सकते हैं।
फॉर्म भरने की प्रक्रिया (6 Step में)
सबसे पहले se.census.gov.in पोर्टल पर जाएं, अपना राज्य चुनें और कैप्चा भरें। इसके बाद घर के मुखिया का नाम और मोबाइल नंबर दर्ज करें। ध्यान रहे, एक मोबाइल नंबर से सिर्फ एक ही घर का डेटा रजिस्टर होगा।
इसके बाद अपनी भाषा चुनें और OTP के जरिए वेरिफिकेशन करें। फिर अपना जिला, शहर और घर का सटीक पता मैप पर मार्क करें।
अब हाउस लिस्टिंग से जुड़े 33 सवालों के जवाब दें। अगर किसी सवाल में परेशानी हो तो पोर्टल पर दिए गए नोट्स और टूलटिप्स की मदद ले सकते हैं।
पूरे फॉर्म को ध्यान से जांचने के बाद Final Submit बटन दबाएं। ध्यान रखें, एक बार फॉर्म सबमिट होने के बाद उसमें कोई बदलाव नहीं किया जा सकेगा।
सबमिट करने के बाद आपको एक SE ID मिलेगी, जिसका स्क्रीनशॉट जरूर लें। यह आईडी आपको SMS और ईमेल पर भी भेजी जाएगी। जनगणना कर्मी के घर आने पर यह SE ID दिखाना जरूरी होगा।
सिर्फ 15 मिनट में पूरा होने वाला यह आसान प्रोसेस हर घर को जनगणना में शामिल करने में मदद करेगा, जिससे कोई भी परिवार छूटेगा नहीं।इस नई व्यवस्था से जनगणना प्रक्रिया तेज, पारदर्शी और आसान बनने की उम्मीद है

Tonight, you’ll have to take me to five places. I’ll pay you ₹5000. Cash. But don’t ask the reason until the end.”
I drive for Ola. I mostly work night shifts. Last week, around 11 PM, I picked up an elderly gentleman. White kurta and dhoti, tired eyes—but a strange firmness in his voice.
As soon as he sat in the car, he said:
“Tonight, you’ll have to take me to five places. I’ll pay you ₹5000. Cash. But don’t ask the reason until the end.”
He handed me a piece of paper with five addresses written on it.

Shri C S Setty,
The Chairman, Indian Bank' Association, Mumbai.
Respected sir,
Sub: Discriminatory treatment in respect of payment of Dearness Relief to Bank
Pensioners.
Ref: Supreme Court Judgement dated 10.04.2026 in respect of State of Kerala Vs M Vijayakumar SLP (C) Nos. 18030 of 2023 and 11592 to 11593 of 2023 by Hon'ble Justices Manoj Misra and Prasanna B Varale.
We wish to invite a kind reference to the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court wherein it is held that the purpose and object of revision/increase of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief is to mitigate the hardship faced by the employees and the pensioners on account of inflation.
The Rise in the Consumer Price Index or Inflation hits both the employees and pensioners in equal measure. Hence application of different Dearness Allowance & Dearness Relief to the employees on one hand and Pensioners on the other has no rational nexus to the object sought to be achieved i.e. mitigation of hardship faced on account of inflation. It was made clear that once pension is admissible and Consumer Price Index linked Dearness Allowance/Relief is allowed, paying DA/DR at different rates or using different basis to calculate Rate of DA/DR for the employees and the pensioners is impermissible as it is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
It thus also emerges that if the different rates of DA/DR are impermissible between Serving Employees and Retired Employees, it is all the more emphatic that different rates of DR cannot be permitted within the same group of pensioners constituting a homogenous class.
Sir, it is in this back drop, we wish to request you to redress the following grievances of the Bank Pensioners and render justice.
A. Uniform Rate of DA to pre-01.11.2002 retirees:

IMPLICATIONS OF THE RECENT SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT DATED 10/4/2026
I attach the recent judgment dt 10/4/2026 0f the Supreme Court holding that there cannot be a difference in the increases in Dearness Relief for pensioners and DA increase for serving employees of KSRTC. Perhaps the pensioners- unlike in the case of LIC pensioners- have been getting revisions of pension based on CPC Recommendations with the result that there is a difference of only a few percentage points in increase of DR/DA between pensioners and serving employees. But in case of LIC the situation is more alarming and serious that eight groups of retirees are receiving eight different rates of increases in DR and all the employees retired before each of the 6 wage revisions get significantly
reduced increases in DR compared to post-wage revision retirees and serving employees.
I made an analysis of half yearly increase for LIC pensioners right from August 1994 and I have tabulated the percentage increases for the various retiree groups over wage revision periods.
The findings indicate that progressively Each subsequent group of retirees is getting a higher increase in DR every half year than the previous group of retirees, which means that there is a recurring loss for earlier groups of retirees in the absence of upgradation of pension.Added to that , the employee who retires just before a wage revision gets a substantially reduced DR increase compared to a post -wage revision retiree and a serving employee. Such increases of course taper down over subsequent half years, but still the later retirees are always at an advantage over earlier retirees.
This is exactly the anomaly against which we are fighting in the courts citing the disparities in gross pension. This is also the anomaly that the LIC Board Resolution recommendations dated 24/11/2001 sought to eliminate, but the recommendations are still begging for approval by the Central Government.
Now , we have one more case law in our support to cite in the Supreme Court when the next hearing takes place.Meanwhile I believe all the petitioners need to proactively consider whether we should file an affidavit in the SC furnishing our calculations.
I am attaching a copy of the SC judgment and a copy of my tabulated calculations.

Respected Sir,
Re: Representation in light of Supreme Court Judgment dated 10.04.2026 in Civil Appeal No. 11592–11593 of 2023. Removal of discrimination in Dearness Relief (DR)
-
2.We respectfully invite your kind attention to the judgment delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on 10.04.2026 in Civil Appeal No. 11592–11593 of 2023, wherein it has been categorically held that discrimination in the formulation of Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) between employees and retirees is impermissible under law, as both are equally affected by inflation.
-
3.The Hon’ble Court has reaffirmed the constitutional principles enshrined under Article 14, emphasizing that any classification must satisfy the twin tests of:
-
1.Intelligible differentia, and
-
2.Rational nexus with the object sought to be achieved
-
-
4.The judgment further clarifies that arbitrariness is antithetical to equality, and any arbitrary distinction is violative of Articles 14 of the Constitution.
-
5.In this regard, we invite your kind attention to:
-
•Para 13 and Para 35 of the 12th Bipartite Settlement dated 08.03.2024, wherein an improved formula for DA/DR has been introduced for employees and retirees who retired after 31.10.2022.
-
•However, Para 34 of the same settlement denies the benefit of improved DR to pensioners who retired prior to 01.11.2022.
-
-
6.This distinction creates a clear class discrimination among pensioners, despite all retirees being equally impacted by inflation. Such exclusion lacks:
-
•Any reasonable classification, and
-
•Any rational nexus with the objective of DA/DR, which is to neutralize the impact of rising cost of living.
-
-
7.In light of the above Supreme Court judgment, this differential treatment is prima facie arbitrary, discriminatory, and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.
8. Our Humble Submission:
In view of the legal position now settled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we respectfully urge the Indian Banks’ Association to:
-
•Review and revise Para 34 of the 12th Bipartite Settlement dated 08.03.2024
-
•Extend the benefit of improved Dearness Relief (DR) uniformly to all pensioners, including those who retired prior to 01.11.2022
-
•Implement the revised provisions with effect from 01.11.2022, ensuring parity and fairness across all retirees
Such a step would not only ensure compliance with the constitutional mandate and judicial pronouncement but also uphold the principles of equity, fairness, and social justice.
We sincerely hope that the matter will receive your sympathetic and expeditious consideration.
With Respectful Regards,
Yours Sincerely,

Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam Nuclear Complex achieved criticality
What you saw is real news—and it’s actually a major milestone for India’s nuclear program, not an explosion.
⚛️ Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam Nuclear Complex
India has developed a special nuclear reactor called a Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR)
It is located at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu
It’s part of India’s advanced nuclear energy program
🔬 What does “achieved criticality” mean?
“Criticality” is a technical term in nuclear science—not dangerous by itself.
👉 It means the reactor has reached a self-sustaining chain reaction.
To understand it:
Nuclear reactions involve Nuclear fission
When each fission event causes exactly one more, the reaction becomes stable
This stable condition is called criticality
✔️ Simple explanation
❌ Not a blast or explosion
❌ Not a weapon test
✅ It means the reactor has started working successfully
⚡ Why this is important
India is entering an advanced stage of nuclear power technology
“Breeder” reactors can produce more fuel than they consume
Helps India use its large thorium reserves in the future
🧠 Why TV might say “Energy Blast”
Channels sometimes use dramatic language, but here it just refers to: 👉 the start of controlled nuclear energy generation, not an actual blast
🟢 In one line
👉 “Achieved criticality” = reactor switched on successfully in a controlled and safe way.
If you want, I can �explain what makes a “fast breeder reactor” different from normal reactors—it’s quite fascinating and important for India.

The M.C. Singla vs. Union of India
What Happened Today (April 9, 2026)
*The M.C. Singla vs. Union of India case was indeed listed as Item No. 103 in Court No. 2 before the Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta.* The case was called around 2:20 PM. a critical time in Supreme Court, marks the start of the "Post-Lunch Session" where part-heard matters are meant to be pushed to conclusion.
The Respondent's Senior Counsel, Mr. Dhruv Mehta, cited health issues for being unable to proceed with arguments today. In the interest of natural justice, the Court typically grants a short adjournment when a lead counsel is unwell, as it allows the party (in this case, the Banks/IBA) to be properly represented.
Matter has been pushed to April 15, 2026.
While it feels like a tactical delay, the legal reality is often more about the "War of Attrition." Retirees often feel the weight of these adjournments more heavily because time is a luxury many don't have. But a few objective reasons to remain cautiously hopeful:
The Bench’s Stance: In recent hearings (particularly throughout February and March 2026), the Bench has been quite firm. Justices Nath and Mehta have previously remarked that "Banks are liable to pay the pension as per the Regulations," specifically referencing Regulation 35(1).
The Court already has the "Pension Entitlement Charts" that categorize retirees into three eras (Pre-1987, 1987–2003, and Post-2003). The legal "homework" is largely done; the remaining step is the final rebuttal from the IBA/Respondents.
A shift from the 9th to the 15th is only a 6-day gap. This suggests the Court is keen to keep the matter "Part-Heard" and not let it slide back into the massive backlog of the general list.The frustration is real, but the case hasn't lost its "Part-Heard" status. When the court reconvenes on the 15th, the focus will remain on whether the IBA can successfully argue against the implementation of Regulation 35(1) despite the pension funds being technically available.
*It’s a "blow" for today, certainly, but the legal momentum built over the last few months hasn't been erased—just paused for a week.*
