Welfare fund & insurance cover for gig workers in T
The draft legislation is expected to offer legal recognition and improved social security to thousands of gig workers across the state.
At a high-level review meeting at the secretariat, the CM asked senior officials to ensure that comprehensive data on gig workers is maintained online for transparency and effective implementation. He also suggested expanding the scope of the draft bill to better address the needs of this growing segment of the workforce.

Officials informed the CM that the draft policy proposes the formation of a welfare board with state govt representation to oversee the implementation of welfare schemes. Revanth made several suggestions to further enhance the impact of the proposed Act, which is likely to become one of the first such state-level frameworks for gig economy workers in the country.
Earlier in the day, Revanth also chaired a separate review on the establishment of advanced technology centres (ATCs) under the Telangana Rising-2047 vision.

The CM instructed officials to develop a model ATC in Genome Valley, equipped with training modules in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and life sciences tailored to industry needs. He emphasised that training at ATCs should align with the skill demands of emerging sectors.
"Ensure the swift completion of all ATCs and offer industry-relevant training. I will personally conduct surprise inspections to monitor progress," he said. Officials informed him that 111 ATCs are being developed in three phases—25 in phase I, 40 in phase II, and 46 in phase III. Of these, 49 centres have already become operational.
Revanth also suggested engaging skilled construction firms to fast-track ATC infrastructure. A poster on ATCs was released by the CM.

Draft data protection rules have received almost 7,000 comments: IT Ministry
The draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, have received 6,915 inputs and comments from the public, firms, and other stakeholders, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology told Parliament on Friday (July 25, 2025). The Ministry was responding to a query by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra. The volume of comments reflects the back-to-back consultation sessions the government has held since the draft was published in January, with a lengthy written comment period, as well as sessions with State governments, private industry, and other groups of invited stakeholders. The comments are being held in confidence, the Ministry said, indicating it would not release them publicly in order to allow stakeholders to offer candid submissions. Long delay The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, enacted over two years ago, cannot come into effect until the DPDP Rules are notified. Almost seven months on, the government has long exceeded the weeks-long timeline that was indicated for the notification. The draft is not likely to be modified significantly, a key official had said in February. However, as India and the U.S. negotiate a bilateral trade agreement, with a major focus on the ease of doing business in India for technology firms, the government has held off on publishing the final Rules. In an informal interaction with reporters this month, a senior IT Ministry official declined to provide any reasons for the delay, or to provide an estimate of when the Rules can be expected to be enforced. Consent managers The DPDP Rules (and the parent Act) provide for penalties against firms that fail to take effective measures to safeguard personal information. They also put in place systems like consent managers, whereby individuals can keep watch on which firms have their data, and provide or withdraw consent for some of them. The Act draws out exclusions from penalties and key provisions for government agencies. The law's implementation has been awaited among privacy advocates, who hope that frequent data breaches will finally be met with accountability. The law has also drawn criticism from journalism bodies and transparency activists as it contains no provisions for protecting journalistic work, and amends the Right to Information Act, 2005 to prevent the disclosure of any personal information that is not already published proactively under the law.
