Andhra Pradesh unveils plans to lead in quantum technologies and artificial intelligence
Vijayawada: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that Andhra Pradesh's quantum mission should lead the way in quantum technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in the country. He stated that Amaravati's Quantum Valley should be designed in such a way that it will gain a distinct identity akin to Silicon Valley. Naidu held a meeting with experts from the IT sector and sought inputs from them for developing Quantum Valley ecosystem in Amaravati. Naidu announced that a workshop on the 'quantum mission' will be held in Vijayawada on June 30. Stressing the importance of meticulous attention to every aspect of Quantum valley's development, he directed officials to ensure that the proposed building becomes an iconic structure. Drawing a parallel, he said just as Hyderabad's Hi-Tech city building, which once stood out as a symbol of progress, the upcoming Quantum Valley in Amaravati must become equally iconic. The Quantum Valley is being set up with Rs 4,000 crore in two phases. The state's quantum mission aims to position Andhra Pradesh as a hub of quantum innovation, strengthen the knowledge economy, and become a key partner in the national quantum mission. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo While the chief minister leads the mission, an expert committee comprising IT minister, chief secretary, IT secretary, finance secretary, mission director, and others will constitute the composition of the mission.

Leo Daily Horoscope Today, June 10, 2025: Sit with the moment and let it speak to you
Today invites you to be still—not just in body, but in thought. You may feel tempted to act fast or fix something quickly, but the real clarity will come only when you pause. Conscious stillness is not inactivity—it is sacred space where truth becomes visible. Sit with the moment and let it speak to you. Leo Love Horoscope Today In love, stillness can feel uncomfortable at first, especially when you are used to expressing or leading with emotion. But this quietness has something to teach. If you're in a relationship, allow space to breathe without pushing for closeness. Watch how your partner responds when you say less. If you're single, step back from chasing clarity in others—your own heart holds more than you know. Love sometimes appears only when you stop trying to create it and allow it to come. Leo Career Horoscope Today Career brings subtle understanding today, but you must quiet the noise around you to notice it. Instead of speaking up in every meeting or taking on more than needed, sit back and watch. There may be an idea forming slowly that requires deeper thought. Avoid reacting too soon to emails or opinions. Let the day move at its own pace. Your power is not in constant doing—it is in knowing when to stop, observe, and let wisdom rise naturally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Leo Money Horoscope Today Financially, today is not the best day for big decisions, but it is perfect for reflection. Take time to look at your recent spending, your needs, and your priorities. A financial insight may come not while planning but during a quiet moment—maybe while having tea, walking, or reading. Trust those moments of still clarity. Don't rush to spend, invest, or change anything just to feel productive. What you truly need will become clear only when your energy is calm. Leo Health Horoscope Today Your health may feel off if you're ignoring the signs of exhaustion. The body is asking for stillness just as much as your mind. You may feel body heaviness, jaw tightness, or even strange dreams—these are not problems but messages. Sit in silence, stretch slowly, breathe deeply. Avoid anything loud or chaotic. Skip the intense workouts and instead choose light movement or just good rest. True clarity will rise when your system is no longer in fight mode but in full, conscious ease.
