Min Sridhar Babu hails Brahmin Centre's social impact initiatives

Hyderabad: IT Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu lauded the efforts of the Centre for Brahmin Excellence (CBE), stating that social service goes beyond financial aid — it involves understanding the needs of the community, offering purposeful guidance, and inspiring change through the right direction. Speaking as Chief Guest at a recent Atmiya Sammelan held at Telangana Brahmin Sadan, attended by members of the CBE and senior Brahmin leaders, Sridhar Babu commended the Centre's initiatives, particularly in mentoring civil service aspirants and expanding educational opportunities. He acknowledged the contributions of retired IAS and IPS officers, administrators, and professionals who are voluntarily working with the CBE to uplift society. 'Our government will extend every possible support to strengthen this institution. We also plan to introduce skill development programmes in collaboration with Young India Skill University through the CBE,' he said. Emphasising that real progress cannot be achieved in isolation, the Minister urged for collective responsibility and value-based unity. 'What we give to society returns to us manifold — not necessarily as wealth, but as fulfilment and goodwill,' he noted, encouraging the Brahmin community to invest in the next generation and rise above divisions with purpose and clarity. In response to misinformation, Sridhar Babu firmly rejected claims targeting the Telangana Brahmin Samkshema Parishad. 'Let me clarify that our government is fully committed to its development. We have already allocated Rs 25 crore and will continue to provide further support. Our intent is sincere, and our focus is on the welfare of the Brahmin community,' he stated. The Minister also appreciated philanthropic efforts, including CBE member Narendra Kumar Kamaraju of Praneeth Constructions, who sponsored six candidates under the Civil Services Mentoring Initiative. Recalling his own journey, Sridhar Babu said, 'Society respects us not for our financial power, but because we stand by dharma and collective welfare. Most of us are salaried individuals, but it is our moral strength that brings dignity.'

Cow should have been taken to new Parliament building during inauguration: Shankaracharya

The seer said the Sengol held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while entering the new Parliament building showed a cow engraved on the sceptre. 'If a statue of a cow can enter Parliament, why can't a living cow be taken inside?' he asked reporters. Mumbai, Aug 3 (PTI) Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand on Sunday said a cow should have been taken into the new Parliament building at Central Vista during its inauguration. 'A real cow should have also been taken into the building to bestow blessings. If there is a delay, we will take cows from all over the country and bring them to Parliament,' he said, adding this would ensure the PM and the building receive blessings of a real cow. The Sengol is installed in the Lower House of the Parliament. He also demanded that the Maharashtra government immediately frame a protocol on cow felicitation. 'The state has not yet declared how to honour the cow. It should finalise a protocol so that people can follow it, and also fix penalties for its violation,' he said. The Shankaracharya demanded that every assembly constituency in India have a 'Ramadham'- a cow shelter accommodating 100 cows. 'A total of 4,123 Ramadhams will be built across the country. The shelters will focus on daily cow service, protection, and promoting indigenous breeds,' he added. Those following the protocol while caring for cows would be financially rewarded. 'A person taking care of 100 cows will receive Rs 2 lakh per month,' he added. The Hindu pontiff further said the Dharma Sansad has passed a congratulatory resolution in support of Hoshangabad MP Darshan Singh Chowdhary, who has demanded that the cow be declared as Rashtramata (Mother of the Nation). The Shankaracharya said people should support only those candidates who protect cows and work for legislation in their interest. 'The present regime has not yet satisfied us. Cow slaughter must be completely stopped in India,' he added. Addressing the language controversy, he said, 'Hindi was first recognised for administrative use. The Marathi-speaking state was formed in 1960, and Marathi was recognised later. Hindi represents several dialects- the same applies to Marathi, which has borrowed from its own dialects'. The seer said any kind of violence should be treated as a criminal offence. He demanded justice in the Malegaon blast case, stating that the real culprits must be punished. 'It is ridiculous that the government is celebrating Amrit Kaal while cows who provide us with milk are being slaughtered. Those in government cannot be called our brothers unless they stand in support of cows,' he said. PTI ND NSK This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Cabinet to take a call on Ghose panel report today

Hyderabad: The state cabinet, which will meet here on Monday, will deliberate on the Justice PC Ghose Commission's report on alleged corruption and irregularities in the construction of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation (KLIS) project. This was confirmed by Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Sunday. He clarified that a final decision will be taken after the issue is discussed threadbare by the cabinet. The report focuses on cost escalation and alleged mismanagement during the BRS government's tenure. Addressing an event in Peddapalli district on Sunday, the Minister criticised the Kaleshwaram project, stating that Rs one lakh crore had been wasted, while the Medigadda barrage had failed to provide any benefit. He pointed out that although Kaleshwaram passes through Manthani constituency, it had not irrigated even a single acre in the region. He said that despite this lacuna, Telangana had managed to achieve record paddy production, which shows that the state's agricultural performance was not dependent on Kaleshwaram alone. The Minister emphasised that his statements were not mere political criticism against a rival party but were substantiated by facts. Monday's cabinet meeting is in line with the decision to hold cabinet meetings twice a month to expedite policy implementation and improve governance. Previously, the Telangana cabinet had decided to implement a 42% reservation for Backward Classes (BCs) in local body elections and admissions for native students in MBBS colleges. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments on Tuesday 5 regarding a government order prioritising Telangana natives in medical college admissions. The State cabinet will also address the implementation of the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme and matters concerning government employees, including a report submitted by a specifically constituted three-member committee. The finalisation of the Indiramma Housing scheme and allocation of houses across Telangana are also expected to be discussed. Meanwhile, the cabinet is likely to consider a new paddy procurement policy and measures for rehabilitation of families affected by the Musi rejuvenation project.
