Malaysian firm to train 10K youth from Telangana in chip design
Hyderabad: Even as UK-based semiconductor player ARM Holdings has evinced interest in investing in Telangana, Malaysia's Spring Semiconductors has expressed willingness to take the responsibility to train 10,000 youth by 2030.
Telangana IT & industries minister D Sridhar Babu announced this on Wednesday after meetings with delegations from both companies.
Spring Semiconductors CEO Ken Ku said the company will develop a specialised curriculum to train local youth in semiconductor manufacturing and design. "The training will involve six months of instruction in Telangana followed by international internships in countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan," Ku stated, confirming that the ambitious plan will be executed in partnership with T-Consult.
Highlighting the growing global demand in the semiconductor sector, Sridhar Babu reiterated the state govt's commitment to skilling Telangana's youth in line with industry needs. Terming Telangana's youth as its greatest asset, the minister said: "They are highly talented and need only the right guidance to excel. Through the Young India Skills University, we are committed to creating industry-ready human capital.

The minister said the govt would provide all necessary support to ARM Holdings to facilitate their entry into Telangana and their growth in the state. Apart from officials of these two companies, T-Consult chairman Sandeep Kumar Makthala, World Telugu IT Council's Malaysia chapter president Maruthi and were among those who attended the meeting.

Andhra's unilateral ban on mangoes against spirit of federalism: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Chief minister Siddaramaiah has urged Chandrababu Naidu, his Andhra Pradesh counterpart, to withdraw the ban on transport of Totapuri mangoes from Karnataka into Chittoor district. The decision to write to Naidu came on Wednesday, a day after mango producers and farmers dumped their produce on streets of Srinivaspura in Kolar. In his letter, Siddaramaiah asked Naidu to intervene in the matter and issue directions to Chittoor district authorities to immediately revoke the ban. Siddaramaiah revealed that the AP govt has stationed multidisciplinary enforcement teams comprising personnel from revenue, police, forest, and marketing departments at inter-state checkposts adjoining Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to implement the ban. "This abrupt and unilateral move has caused considerable hardship to mango growers in Karnataka, particularly those in the border regions who cultivate Totapuri mangoes in substantial quantities," Siddaramaiah said. He said farmers in border districts rely heavily on robust links with Chittoor-based processing and pulp extraction units for marketing their produce. "The current restriction has disrupted this well-established supply chain and threatens significant post-harvest losses, directly impacting livelihoods of thousands of farmers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

He expressed concern that the AP decision may lead to avoidable tension and retaliatory measures, with stakeholders already expressing discontent that could potentially disrupt the inter-state movement of vegetables and agricultural commodities. Karnataka chief secretary Shalini Rajneesh had also previously written to her AP counterpart K Vijayanand, demanding that the state lift the ban. In her letter, she pointed out that Chittoor's district collector, in an order on June 7, had banned entry of 'Totapuri' mangoes from other states. "There is an apprehension that affected stakeholders in Karnataka may obstruct vegetable inflows from Andhra Pradesh, escalating into unnecessary inter-state tensions, something we must strive to avoid," the letter states. She urged Vijayanand to "immediately intervene" and get the collector to revoke the order. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Irrigation engineer held in DA case remanded in judicial custody
1 2 3 Hyderabad: Irrigation executive engineer (EE) N Sridhar, who was arrested by the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) in a disproportionate assets (DA) case on Wednesday, was remanded in judicial custody on Thursday. ACB sleuths said they will be moving a petition seeking his remand to verify his claims. Sridhar is currently posted as an EE in the irrigation and command area development (CAD) department in Choppadandi, Karimnagar. He was earlier involved in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) and used to supervise the Gayathri pump house in Ramadugu, Karimnagar. A case was registered by ACB under the PC Act against Sridhar on June 9 and on Wednesday officials had raided his office, home and relatives' houses. The investigators said that Sridhar's family members are well-qualified professionals. His daughter is a housewife and his son-in-law is an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer currently posted in China. Sridhar's wife is a govt college principal in Hyderabad, and his son graduated from IIM Kozhikode after completing an engineering degree from NIT in Tamil Nadu. Sridhar's daughter-in-law is a senior manager in a pharma company's Bangalore office. Regarding his son's destination wedding in Thailand in March 2025, Sridhar claimed that his son's father-in-law, a Russia-based pearls businessman from Ghaziabad, took care of the expenditure. He said that 150 guests attended the wedding including 50 persons from the groom's side. "The groom's family claimed to have spent only Rs 4 lakh towards flight charges for 12 guests," said an ACB official. ACB officials said they were yet to open an SBI locker in Karimnagar jointly operated by Sridhar and his wife. ACB is also verifying if there are any lockers operated by Sridhar's son, who is a city-based management professional. According to bureau sources, the assets of Sridhar, as per his known sources of income and expenditure records, should not be more than Rs 2 crore, but currently they stand at Rs 11 crore, which places the documentary value of the DA at Rs 9 crore. But the market value of his assets was about Rs 60 crore, officials said. The assets include a villa in Tellapur, a 4,500 sq ft flat in Shaikpet where his son's family lives, three flats in Karimnagar, commercial space in Ameerpet, four-storied buildings at Malakpet in Hyderabad and in Warangal, an independent building in Karimnagar, 16 acres of agricultural land in Warangal, Karimnagar, and Rangareddy districts, 19 plots in Hyderabad, Warangal, and Karimnagar, two cars, 26 tola gold ornaments, Rs 50,000 cash, and Rs 60 lakh bank balance.

Microchip giant NVIDIA woos European markets amid ongoing US-China trade war
Santa Clara, June 12 (UNI) American microchip giant NVIDIA is now wooing European markets, pledging to build 20 AI factories across Europe, as the ongoing US-China trade war has led to the tech conglomerate to suffer huge losses. CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the annual VivaTech conference in Paris on Wednesday, said that the company was building the world's first 'industrial artificial intelligence cloud' for European manufacturers. The Germany-based facility, a key part of the AI factory (specialised data center) initiative, is set to be equipped with 10,000 graphics processing units (GPUs), helping European firms such as carmaker BMW Group accelerate manufacturing applications – from design and engineering to robotics, reports South China Morning Post. Stating that Europe had now 'awakened' to the 'importance of AI factories and AI infrastructure', Huang added that NVIDIA plans to boost AI computing capacity in Europe tenfold over the next two years to help local researchers and start-ups address GPU shortages. NVIDIA has also announced a partnership with the French AI company Mistral AI to create a cloud platform powered by 18,000 of its latest chips, enabling European businesses to develop AI based on Mistral's models. To attract more European clients to counter the US restrictions on tech trade with China and make up for its losses in revenue, NVIDIA has been expanding its existing offerings such as DGX Cloud Lepton, an AI platform that provides a marketplace selling access to GPUs available from a growing network of cloud providers, the company said.
