Will provide 20 lakh jobs by setting up industries: Bharath
Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath said the NDA government will provide 20 lakh jobs to the youth as promised by setting up industries.
Mr. Bharath, along with Panyam MLA Gouru Charitha Reddy, district Collector P. Ranjith Basha and others, inaugurated the MSME park set up at Guttapadu village in Orvakal mandal with a cost of ₹38.47 crore. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has planned to set up industrial parks in all the 175 Assembly constituencies of the State. 'No other person or leader envisaged setting up industrial parks on a largescale. We will implement and are going ahead to realise his vision,' Mr Bharath said.
'When Mr. Naidu, as the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh came up with Vision 2020, he faced lot of criticism and adverse comments. However, the same vision was instrumental in the development of Hyderabad. Development can be achieved only when one has a vision,' the Minister said.
Mr. Bharath said that they were offering training to the local youth so that they could get jobs. 'We are setting up a pilot training centre at Orvakal. Though the training involves huge cost, one can earn good salary at a lesser time and we urge the youth to take up the pilot training,' he said.
The Minister further said that both the Centre and State governments were working towards developing basic infrastructure at the Orvakal industrial area. We have also requested the Railways to lay railway siding from Dupadu to Betamcherla railway stations passing through Orvakal node under the Hyderabad-Bengaluru industrial corridor, he said.
Mr. Bharath said that the State has attracted ₹9 lakh crore investments in just nine months and the setting up of these industries will provide more than five lakh jobs.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ranjith Basha said that they have identified land in all the seven Assembly constituencies for setting up a MSME park and the one at Orvakal was the first one to be inaugurated in the district. The mandal will develop with the setting up of the park, he said.
Panyam MLA Charitha Reddy said that the State government is giving equal importance to welfare as well as development.

CM lauds Pachamalai tribal student who cracked CLAT
Trichy: Chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday congratulated a tribal student from the Pachamalai hills near Trichy who became the first tribal student from the region to clear the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and secure admission to the National Law University in Trichy. S Bharath, 17, a student of the govt tribal school in Pachamalai, achieved an All India ST rank of 964 in the CLAT recently and has been admitted to the LLB (Hons.) programme at the Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU), Trichy. He qualified under the 7.5% reservation quota for govt school students. Expressing his appreciation, Stalin directed legal affairs secretary N R Elango to support the student's aspirations in the field of law. "Necessary assistance will be provided to Bharath's education until he completes his studies," Elango later posted on X. Bharath, a native of Thoonur village, is the eldest son of Selvakumar and Sudha. He lost his mother a decade ago and was raised by his father. He completed his schooling in Tamil medium, scoring 70% in Class 10 and 59% in Class 12 at the govt school in Chinna Illupur. Speaking to reporters, Bharath said he was inspired to pursue law after watching a movie in which a lawyer, like Dr B R Ambedkar, stands up for the oppressed.

Tribal student from Pachamalai Hills earns kudos for admission to law university
S. Bharath, a 17-year-old from a Scheduled Tribe (ST) community in Thonur village in Pachamalai Hills, has secured a seat in the Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU) after topping the list of students from 28 Government Tribal Residential Schools in the State who appeared for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). His achievement earned him a congratulatory message from Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday. In a message on X, the Chief Minister said he hoped Mr. Bharath would use his training as a lawyer to help his community. He also said the student would have the support of the DMK's legal wing, and the mentorship of its secretary N.R. Elango till the completion of his studies. Mr. Bharath studied at the Government Tribal Higher Secondary School in Chinna Illupur and secured an all-India ST rank of 964. He secured admission to the B. Com, LLB (Hons) course at TNNLU through the 7.5% reservation for ST government school students in Tamil Nadu. He lost his mother at an early age, and is the eldest of three siblings. Mr. Bharath's father A. Selvakumar is a daily wage labourer. 'This is a milestone for Bharath, as it shows his capability in a competitive academic field. It will inspire future generations of our students to join the country's legal profession. We hope he will utilise his education to contribute to the welfare of the tribal community,' P. Arjuselvam, headmaster of the school run by the Tribal Welfare Department, told The Hindu. The school has 185 students from the tribal community, and has been encouraging them to take competitive exams in various fields for the past two years. Mr. Bharath secured the TNNLU seat in the second round of counselling, and got it confirmed at the student help desk at Government Model Higher Secondary School in Thuvakudi on June 4. He completed Class 12 in the Commerce stream, scoring 356 out of 600, and scored 353 out of 500 in Class 10 — both in Tamil medium. He was one of six students who prepared for the English-medium CLAT with the help of coaching classes conducted in partnership with private institutions, facilitated by the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, and an orientation programme held at TNNLU before the exam. The total cost of his law degree, including the seat-confirming fee of ₹20,000, will be sponsored by the department.

Kisan drones brought in revolution in agriculture, says A.P. MSME Minister
Minister for MSME Kondapalli Srinivas on Saturday said that 'kisan drones' brought in a revolution in agriculture with the reduction in usage of fertilizers and seeds. He urged the farmers to use the drones collectively to minimise the investment in agriculture. He handed over the kisan drones and distributed seeds to the farmers in a programme organised at Gajapathinagaram in Vizianagaram district. He said that 24 drones were sanctioned to the district and the first one was handed over at Gajapathinagaram as the farmers contributed ₹4.8 lakh of the ₹9.8 lakh total value of the drone. He said that the government would provide subsidy to the farmers under Rashtriya Kisan Vikas Yojana scheme. Vizianagaram District Agriculture Officer V.T. Ramarao said that as many as eight drones would be delivered soon as the farmers paid their contribution with the support of bankers. He urged them to use the drones under the supervision of drone operators at the initial stage. The Minister added that the maintenance cost was also very little when it came to kisan drones.
