JK News Today | August 3, 2025 – In a bold and revolutionary step toward digital inclusivity, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a ₹1 "Freedom Plan" exclusively for its prepaid customers. This game-changing offer aims to mark India’s Independence Month by offering seamless mobile access to all sections of society—particularly the underserved.

🇮🇳 What's in the ₹1 Freedom Plan?

The plan is being launched as a celebratory gesture ahead of India’s 78th Independence Day, symbolizing true digital freedom. For just ₹1, BSNL users can enjoy basic telecom services at ultra-low cost. While full plan details are being gradually rolled out across circles, here's what’s expected:

  • ✅ Basic Calling Benefits (to be announced)

  • ✅ Limited Data Access

  • ✅ Plan Validity of 1–2 Days

  • ✅ Available Across India, phased implementation

"This initiative is aimed at empowering every Indian with digital access, starting at just ₹1," a BSNL official said in a statement.

🧠 Why This Matters:

In an era where telecom tariffs are rising, BSNL’s initiative stands out as a symbol of affordable connectivity, reinforcing its commitment to BharatNet and Digital India goals. This is especially significant for rural and economically weaker users, who often struggle with minimum recharge requirements.

🔍 Comparison with Other Operators:

Operator Minimum Recharge Benefits
BSNL ₹1 (Freedom Plan) Basic access, symbolic pricing
Jio ₹15 (Data Add-On) 1 GB, no talktime
Airtel ₹19 (Smart Recharge) Talktime + 200MB

BSNL’s Freedom Plan clearly stands out as the lowest-cost prepaid recharge option on the market.

🌐 Digital Inclusion & Symbolic Timing

The plan's launch coincides with India’s Independence celebrations in August, drawing attention to the role of telecom in modern freedom—freedom to connect, communicate, and grow in the digital age.

📱 How to Activate the Plan

Users can activate the plan by:

  1. Dialing BSNL's USSD code (to be announced)

  2. Using the BSNL Selfcare App

  3. Visiting nearest BSNL retailers or CSCs

Full availability will vary by circle, so users are advised to check with their local BSNL offices for real-time plan activation.

📰 Final Words:

BSNL’s ₹1 Freedom Plan isn’t just a recharge option—it’s a symbol of digital democracy, celebrating India’s independence by giving even the poorest citizens a voice through connectivity. As BSNL continues its network expansion and 4G rollout, such steps may give it a renewed edge in the competitive telecom space.

India Tightens Drug Price Oversight in 2025: NPPA Targets Overpriced Non-Scheduled Medicines | Pharma Firms Under Scanner

 🎯 Government Tightens Oversight of Non‑Scheduled Drugs 1. What Changed? Non‑scheduled drugs —those not under DPCO price caps—have historically allowed up to 10% annual price increase by manufacturers ( The Indian Express ). Although not regulated like essential or life‑saving medicines, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) can still monitor these prices and intervene if firms exceed that 10% limit or demonstrate unreasonable hikes ( GLI ). 2. Why the Policy Tightening? New scrutiny has emerged after the Parliamentary Standing Committee flagged 307 violations as of March 6, 2025, involving non‑scheduled drug manufacturers who exceeded the legally permissible increase on maximum retail price (MRP) ( Medical Dialogues ). This prompted the government to clarify and reinforce enforcement mechanisms , scrutinizing pricing behavior of non-scheduled drug companies more closely. 🚨 What Enforcement Looks Like NPPA now tracks MRP trajectories of n...
