Indore News: 52% Candidates Take Mining Officer Exam

**Indore (Madhya Pradesh):** Nearly 52 percent of candidates appeared for the Mining Officer exam conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) on Sunday. Due to the low number of applicants, MPPSC designated only one exam center at SGSITS, Indore.

Out of 625 registered candidates, 325 took the exam, marking an attendance rate of 52 percent. The examination was held under a new syllabus and revised pattern after several years. Candidates found the questions comparatively easy, especially in the general studies section, which covered current affairs, history, geography, economics, and state-specific topics related to Madhya Pradesh.

The second paper tested subject knowledge in geology and mining. This year, the Commission introduced negative marking, with one mark deducted for every four incorrect answers.

The exam lasted from 12 noon to 3 pm, with candidates arriving an hour early. Security measures were strictly implemented and included frisking, biometric verification, and photo identification checks before entry. Officials confirmed that no cases of malpractice were reported during the examination.

Subject experts suggest that the relative ease of the paper may push the cutoff score as high as 70 to 80 percent. Results are expected to be declared within a month, by the first week of November, after the evaluation of OMR sheets.

This recruitment drive by the Department of Mineral Resources was announced for just 10 vacancies.

Indore’s Divine Clay Idols Reach Far And Wide: Over 250 Intricately Crafted Idols, Including Kali And Sherawali, Ready For Navratri Celebrations

**Indore’s Master Sculptors Bring Over 250 Clay Idols to Life for Navratri Celebrations**

Indore, Madhya Pradesh – The city is abuzz with devotion and artistry as master sculptors put the finishing touches on more than 250 clay idols destined for the upcoming Navratri celebrations. Some of these exquisite creations will even travel as far as Rajasthan, spreading the festive spirit beyond regional borders.

At Bengali Square, the Pal Sculptors’ Arts workshop is a hive of meticulous activity. Thirty dedicated artisans are working tirelessly, bringing to life idols of Maha Kali and Sherawali that vary in size—from petite 3-foot figures to towering 21-foot statues.

“This year, Maha Kali has seen the highest demand,” says Atul Pal, chief sculptor. “Over 60% of our orders are for her powerful and revered form. Sherawali devotees are equally honoured with beautifully crafted idols.”

The workshop’s creations sometimes share space with Ganesh statues, reflecting a harmonious blend of devotion and artistry in the same creative environment.

Serving not just Indore but also surrounding regions such as Jaora, Mandsaur, Rajgarh, Ujjain, Dewas, and beyond, the Pal workshop is busy preparing complete divine families for installation across 12 select locations. These include community sites at Bengali, Bapat, Sukhlia, Khajrana, Kalani Nagar, Airport, Bhuteshwar, and others.

Sourcing materials is a precise endeavor. Yellow clay is brought all the way from Kolkata, bamboo from Kanpur, and holy mud from the Shipra river is used to ensure each idol is crafted with the highest quality standards. Notably, the sculptors do not use any colors; the idols are made purely of clay, which helps reduce pollution during the festive season.

With Navratri commencing on September 22, the artisans are racing against time, channeling their devotion, artistry, and unparalleled skill into every detailed creation—readying the city for a vibrant and spiritually enriching celebration.
