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.

Media facing credibility crisis, rues CM Revanth
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy expressed serious concern over journalism losing its credibility. In the same tone, he cautioned that the country's security will be in danger if the media credibility is not restored in the future. Participating in the anniversary celebrations of a Telugu daily here on Friday, the Chief Minister said that only a handful of media and press organisations were maintaining journalism ethics and standing by the people. These days, some media organisations established by political parties have put the profession at risk, he noted, while rueing that such media houses were exploiting the journalistic power to protect the management's political interests and their income generating sources through illegal means. Revanth Reddy said that earlier, political leaders acquired knowledge and were updated about important information from scribes during press conferences. Now the situation is reversed, which is a worrisome development. Some political parties with their ulterior motives were ruining the noble profession, he said. The Chief Minister recalled how the press had played a crucial role in uniting people during the freedom struggle. Newspapers run by the Communist parties also played an important role in creating awareness among the people on social menaces and during the farmers' armed struggle in Telangana. He praised Nava Telangana newspaper for continuing the legacy. Expressing concern that some media houses were 'crossing their limits', he said, "In the past, political parties ran newspapers to explain their ideology to the people. These days, dailies run by political parties are behaving in a strange manner as they are keen to protect their financial interests and follies'. Appealing to people to closely monitor the hidden agenda of newspapers owned by political parties, the Chief Minister said that another big worrying factor was the gross exploitation of social media by people who are unaware of the basics of journalism. These unscrupulous elements are conspiring to destabilize the system also, he charged. Like political parties, even journalists are losing their integrity, he said, while calling for a 'Lakshman Rekha' in the practice of journalism with trustworthiness. Revanth Reddy said that the Communist parties were always supporting Congress to come to power earlier and even in the 2023 State Assembly elections. The friendly relations between Congress and Left parties will continue, he said, as the two would strive for development of the state and people's welfare.

3-member panel to vet Ghose Commission report for Cabinet
Hyderabad: The state government has initiated the official process to act on the findings of the one-man Justice Ghose Commission of inquiry, which has gone into alleged irregularities and lapses in the construction of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) and submitted its report. After a 15-month probe into the subsidence of some of the piers of the Medigadda barrage and damages caused to the Annaram and Sundilla barrages (part of KLIP), the Justice PC Ghose Commission submitted its report to the Telangana govt on Thursday. Justice (retd) Ghose handed over the bulky three-volume report to principal secretary, irrigation, Rahul Bojja at the Secretariat on the last date of the Commission's extended term. Earlier on Friday, Chief Secretary K Ramakrishna Rao, Irrigation Secretary Prashant Patil and Joint Secretary Srinivas submitted the Justice Ghose Commission report to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The officials submitted the report to the Chief Minister in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy, and Revenue and Information and Public Relations Minister P Srinivas Reddy. Losing no time, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy constituted a 3-member Official Committee to vet the report of the Ghose Commission. The Committee, comprising state Irrigation Secretary Prashant Patil, Secretary to Law and GAD departments, will examine the report and submit its synopsis to the state Cabinet on August 4. The KLIP, on which the erstwhile Bharat Rashtra Samithi government reportedly spent over Rs 1 lakh crore, created a big political storm ahead of the 2023 Assembly polls due to sinking of the piers of its barrages and damage caused to them. Then opposition parties had accused the BRS government of indulging in irregularities and large-scale corruption, going by its 'design flaws', 'structural faults', 'maintenance issues', 'lack of quality control' and widespread 'financial mismanagement'.

US defense bill proposes examination of Apple display supplier
A measure added into a massive U.S. defense spending bill in recent weeks will, if passed, ask the Pentagon to determine whether one of Apple's display suppliers should be listed as a Chinese military company . Being on the list does not block companies from doing business in the U.S. but will in coming years block them from being part of the U.S. military's supply chain.

The final bill, considered a "must-pass" because it funds the U.S. military, is expected to become law later in the year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Twins in The World! Undo When the bill was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, a newly added amendment for the first time asked the U.S. Defense Department to consider whether BOE Technology Group Co, listed on Apple's official suppliers list, should be added to a list of firms that allegedly aid China's military. BOE and Apple did not respond to requests for comment. Live Events Craig Singleton, a China expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington think-tank, said Beijing had offered billions of dollars in subsidies, tax breaks and loans to help firms such as BOE dominate global panel production. "This creates a single-source vulnerability that could be easily exploited to disrupt or degrade U.S. military operations, not to mention undermine commercial supply chains, during a conflict or period of heightened bilateral tension with Beijing," Singleton added. A study published last month by New York-based NERA Economic Consulting and commissioned by BOE's U.S. subsidiary found that the display industry, which includes major Korean players such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, remains highly competitive, with no single player capable of significantly affecting global prices. "There is no credible risk of a supply chain disruption by mainland China display manufacturers," the report said.
