    Solution

    The new CPI series recorded 1.42% inflation for agricultural labourers and 1.73% for rural labourers in June. These figures better reflect price movements in rural India by considering updated consumption weights, more product categories (150–200 items), and expanded geographical coverage (34 states/UTs and 787 villages).
