According to an official statement, Vadra will be general secretary for Uttar Pradesh East, taking charge in the first week of February. Jyotiraditya Scindia will head Western UP. Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in India by population and has the most number of seats in the Parliament. Uttar Pradesh East includes the constituencies of Varanasi, which is the constituency represented by the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and also Gorakhpur, which belongs to the state’s incumbent chief minister Yogi Adityanath who is also a strongman from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Her strengths Priyanka Gandhi, 47, is the daughter of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, and the granddaughter of Indira Gandhi. In the past, she was mostly seen supporting brother <keyword id="5268" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</keyword> in campaigning efforts, but stayed away from actively participating in politics. She might entering active politics just now but Priyanka has been under the media spotlight over the years. Her official foray into politics has been speculated about for a long time, more so around elections. She carries political weight at least in constituencies which are considered to be the Gandhi family bastions. Her entry into politics is expected to add vigour to Congress, recovering cadre, which had a demoralising defeat in 2014. The incumbent United Progressive Alliance (UPA) led by the Congress was routed out, and the grand old party itself was left with 44 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament.

 Priyanka's focus on eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP)-- aside from the appointment of another party heavyweight Jyotiraditya Scindia's focus on western part of the same province-- also signals the party's focus on a state that is politically significant than most others and currently in the grasp of rival BJP.

 With the help of this contract, <keyword id="1486742" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Uninor">Uninor</keyword> also intends to make its 4G network available in six circles - Uttar Pradesh East, Uttar Pradesh West, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bihar+">Bihar</a> (including Jharkhand), <keyword id="37102" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>, Gujarat and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Maharashtra">Maharashtra</a>, reported the Economic Times. 
 As per the contract, <keyword id="6357456" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Huawei">Huawei</keyword> would transform around 24,000 sites of Uninor in these six major circles in the country. 
 
So far the telco has been working with Finnish telecom gear maker <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Nokia+">Nokia</a> Networks for 2G service deployments in India. <keyword id="2441437" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Nokia-Networks">Nokia Networks</keyword> currently deploying networks for Uninor's <keyword id="6354915" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Assam">Assam</keyword> circle, which is likely to start operations anytime this year. 
 
Moreover, the same equipment from Huawei can further transform into 4G networks with some tweaks, once Uninor finalizes its plans to offers 4G services in India, according to the person familiar with the development. 
 
Earlier, Uninor has said that it will introduce more sophisticated services using 4G LTE technology. 
 
Once its permit is converted into a unified licence, Uninor can offer 4G services without buying more spectrum than what it already has in the 1800 MHz band. A unified licence allows airwaves to be used to offer any technology — 2G, 3G or 4G. 
 
Analysts are of the view that the ecosystem for offering 4G over the 1800 MHz band (FDD-LTE), which Uninor has, is far more developed globally than the 2300 MHz band held by some Indian telcos. 
 
Uninor provided services in more than 46 million subscribers using 2G technology in the country. It added 1.3 million subscribers during the second quarter ended June 30, and said the subscription base was 22% higher than the same quarter last year. 
 
The telco said 26% of the customers were active data users, and is targeting 50% Internet customers by 2017. 
 
Uninor recently posted total revenues at NOK 1,362 million (about Rs 1,064.63 crore) for the second quarter, up from NOK 1,021 million (about Rs 798.05 crore) last year. It also narrowed operating loss to NOK 90 million (about Rs 70.30 crore).

Rollick ice cream aspires for national presence

There are millions who enjoy eating ice creams from cones and then munching on the cones too. A Deoria-based farmers' group in Uttar Pradesh has now come up with 'kulhads' made from millet that can be used to drink tea and then eaten as a healthy snack. Interestingly, these 'kulhads' come at a time when 2023 has been declared as the "International Year of Millets" by the United Nations after a proposal from India in 2019. Christened 'Chai Piyo aur Kulhad Khao', these nutritious kulhads, made of co-arse grain of ragi and maize flour, have caught the attention of tea lovers at the ongoing Magh Mela in Prayagraj. Ankit Rai, a member of the group, said the demand for these 'kulhads' has been increasing manifold in rural as well as urban areas of eastern Uttar Pradesh. He said, "To promote the benefits of millets, we created edible kulhads made of millets about two years ago. We have a special mould wherein we can make 24 cups in one go." "Initially, we connected with tea vendors in small villages of east UP, including Deoria, Gorakhpur, Siddharth Nagar and Kushinagar, but we managed to win hearts in other parts as well. Now, the demand has spread to Prayagraj, Varanasi, Lucknow and other districts." Talking about the price of these 'kulhads', he said, "It takes Rs 5 to shape such kulhads and when tea is served in it, it costs Rs 10. The 'kulhads' are also eco-friendly. They are in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission as there is zero wastage." Women are mostly involved in making 'kulhads' of millet for health benefits.
