Krishna University celebrates Achievers' Day
He was speaking as the chief guest at the Achievers' Day programme at Krishna University Arts and Science College on Thursday.
Showry encouraged students to be inspired by Phanindra Sharma, who, unable to secure a bus ticket to go home for a festival, started RedBus with just Rs 5 lakh to prevent others from facing similar issues. He later sold the company for Rs 800 crore.
He also highlighted Anji Reddy, who, despite holding a small job at IDPL, was not content and went on to establish Reddy Labs Pharma Company, achieving turnovers worth several thousands of crores. Showry stressed that success isn't achieved overnight but requires perseverance and discipline.
He announced that proposals have been sent to the Central government for the construction of an athletic track, indoor stadium, swimming pool, and tennis court at Krishna University, and he would strive for their realisation.
Superintendent of Police R Gangadhara Rao stated that he achieved his current position by relying solely on education, despite being born into a humble family.
Earlier, Krishna University Vice-Chancellor Prof K Ramji, in his inaugural address, congratulated the students on securing jobs with packages ranging from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4 lakh.
Registrar Prof N Usha presided and DCMS Chairman Bandi Ramakrishna, Training and Placement Cell Director Prof YK Sundara Krishna, Training and Placement Department Coordinator Dr Kishore and professors and assistant professors from various departments also participated.
The parents of the recruited students were felicitated, and appointment letters were handed over to the students by their parents. Earlier, MP Bala Showry and SP Gangadhara Rao offered floral tributes to the bronze statue of Dr BR Ambedkar.

Land acquisition: Thirumangalam water scheme delayed by five months
MADURAI: Trouble with land acquisition has allegedly delayed the Rs 52.54-crore water scheme project of the Thirumangalam Municipality by five months. Commenced on January 1 last year, the project was initially scheduled for completion in July 2025; now, officials from the Water Resources Department expect the project to be over by December this year. Sources said drinking water is being supplied to the 20,000-odd households in Thirumangalam Municipality through two schemes -- Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board's combined water scheme supplying 3.3 MLD from Cauvery river and local sources supplying 2.1 MLD from Vaigai river in Thiruvengadam. 'As we decided to develop our sources from the Vaigai river in Mullipallam, a special scheme was devised at a cost of Rs 52.54 crore, under the Kalaignar Urban Development Fund,' said an official from the Thirumangalam municipality. 'With Mullipallam just 25 kilometres away, the new project has the capacity to supply over 4.3 MLD, which will be plentiful for the next 10 years for the residents of the municipality. We are currently constructing five overhead tanks (OHTs) in the municipality.

Omni bus owners allege illegal tax collection in Tamil Nadu
COIMBATORE: The All Omni Bus Owners and Operators Association alleged on Sunday that transport officers in the state are illegally collecting money from omni bus owners from both Tamil Nadu and other states under the guise of a special tax, despite them already paying the legally mandated road tax. The association's founder, A Pandiyan, stated that a bus with an all-India permit pays a road tax of Rs 90,000 to the central government every three months. Additionally, they pay road tax to their respective state governments based on the number of seats. He said that, according to law, no other taxes are required. Operators are also subjected to long checks at toll gates, causing delays in passenger drop-offs and affecting their business, he said. 'However, officers from the state transport department are collecting money from omni bus owners who are operating inter-state, from other states to Tamil Nadu and vice versa. They are doing so in the name of a special tax. They collect anywhere from `20,000 to `1 lakh, especially on holidays and during festival times,' Pandiyan alleged. Urging Transport Minister SS Sivasankar to intervene and put an end to this illegal practice, the association warned of a larger protest at the state transport department office in Chennai if the issue persists. When contacted, transport and road safety commissioner R Gajalakshmi told TNIE that she would look into this matter.
