Banks Open or Closed on Hanuman Jayanti: Which States Have a Holiday Today? On April 2, 2026, which falls on a Wednesday, Hanuman Jayanti is being celebrated across India. However, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday list, there is no official bank holiday on this day. That said, certain states have declared holidays for specific reasons, leading to variations in banking operations. In Kerala, banks will remain closed on April 2 due to the observance of Mundi Thursday, a regional holiday. This decision is based on local traditions and cultural practices. Meanwhile, in other states, banks will operate as usual. The RBI’s holiday schedule does not include Hanuman Jayanti as a national holiday, so most financial institutions will remain open. The holiday schedule for April 2026 includes additional days of closure in several states. On April 3, Good Friday is observed, and banks across the country will be closed except in Tripura, Chandigarh, Assam, Rajasthan, and Jammu-Kashmir. These exceptions are due to local administrative decisions or religious observances. Other notable holidays in April 2026 include: April 14: Banks in multiple states, including Tripura, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Manipur, Rajasthan, Jammu-Kashmir, Kerala, West Bengal, Goa, Bihar, and Jharkhand, will be closed to mark Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti, Baisakhi, Tamil New Year, Bohag Bihu, and Makar Sankranti. April 15: Banks in Tripura, Assam, Manipur, Kerala, West Bengal, and Himachal Pradesh will be closed for Bongalī New Year, Bohag Bihu, Vishu, and Himachal Pradesh Day.

Farmers in Rajasthan Can Now Rent Tractors and Modern Farm Equipment, Reducing Costs and Boosting Productivity The Rajasthan government has launched an initiative to provide tractors and modern agricultural machinery on rent to small and marginal farmers, aiming to reduce farming costs and improve productivity. This program, announced through a partnership between the state’s agriculture department and TAFE Jefarmer Services, will allow farmers to access essential equipment without the need for large upfront investments. The initiative is designed to address the financial burden on small-scale farmers while ensuring timely completion of agricultural tasks such as land preparation, sowing, irrigation, and harvesting. Under the new system, farmers can book tractors and other modern machinery through the Raj Kisan Sahithi portal, a digital platform that connects users with available equipment. The portal will streamline the process, enabling farmers to locate nearby machinery and schedule rentals without additional fees. This eliminates the need for farmers to travel extensively to find equipment, saving time and reducing labor costs. The program also integrates with custom hiring centers and farmer producer organizations (FPAs), which will help optimize the use of machinery and expand access to more farmers. The initiative is expected to significantly benefit small and marginal farmers, who often struggle to afford expensive machinery. By allowing them to rent equipment on demand, the government aims to reduce production costs, increase efficiency, and ultimately boost farm incomes. Agriculture department chief Manju Rajpal highlighted that the program’s goal is to ensure that even those unable to purchase machinery can access modern tools during critical farming seasons.#rajasthan #tafe_jefarmer_services #raj_kisan_sahithi #manju_rajpal #custom_hiring_centers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Address at the Start of the 2026 Monsoon Session of Parliament The Prime Minister addressed the nation at the opening of the 2026 Monsoon Session of Parliament, emphasizing the importance of proactive efforts from both the monsoon season and the parliamentary session to drive national progress. He highlighted India's achievements across sectors, including space exploration, technological innovation, and sustainable energy initiatives, while acknowledging global challenges such as the war in West Asia. Modi underscored India's resilience, noting that despite disruptions in energy imports and supply chains, the country maintained its status as the world's fastest-growing major economy, growing at 7.7% in 2025. He praised the nation's scientific community, engineers, and entrepreneurs for their contributions to India's development, citing projects like the Green Hydrogen Train and the establishment of a third semiconductor manufacturing plant in Rajasthan. The Green Hydrogen Train, launched as a groundbreaking initiative, was described as the most advanced and longest-haul hydrogen-powered train globally, reflecting India's commitment to clean energy. Modi also highlighted the progress in green hydrogen technology, which is now accessible in select countries, and emphasized its role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Addressing the challenges posed by the war in West Asia, Modi acknowledged the strain on India's energy security but reiterated the nation's determination to overcome obstacles through innovation and self-reliance. He called for a collective resolve among lawmakers to advance national goals, stressing the importance of meaningful parliamentary debates and collaborative decision-making.#india #rajasthan #prime_minister_narendra_modi #green_hydrogen_train #parliament_2026_monsoon_session

A Farmer's Buried Wealth Reveals a Shocking Tale of Loss A farmer in Rajasthan buried Rs. 5 lakh in a plastic bag in his field after selling land, only to face a heart-wrenching realization a year later. The incident highlights the risks of storing large sums of money in unconventional ways. The farmer had sold a plot of land a year prior, earning the cash to build a house. Concerned about theft, he opted to hide the money in a plastic bag, burying it in a field. However, he eventually forgot the location, and the money remained buried for over a year. During the monsoon season, while preparing the field for sowing, the plastic bag was unearthed. The farmer’s wife and son, who had long suspected the money was hidden, discovered the bag. Inside, the notes were in disarray—torn and damaged by exposure to the elements. The family attempted to exchange the notes at a local SBI branch, but the bank staff refused, citing the severe condition of the currency. The notes were so fragmented that they could not be processed. Desperate, the family sought assistance from the district’s main SBI branch, only to face the same rejection. The incident underscores the vulnerabilities of storing cash in non-bank environments. While the farmer’s intention to protect his savings was understandable, the lack of proper preservation rendered the money unusable. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of secure, bank-issued storage for valuable assets. The farmer’s experience also highlights the challenges faced by individuals who attempt to manage large sums without professional financial safeguards. Despite the emotional weight of the lost savings, the family’s efforts to recover the money reflect a deep-seated hope for redemption.#farmer #rajasthan #monsoon_season #sbi #plastic_bag
