Telangana Governor felicitates Miss World 2025 winners at Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad
A special High Tea was organised to celebrate the global achievements and humanitarian efforts of the pageant winners. The event was graced by the presence of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, several cabinet ministers, the Chief Secretary, the Director General of Police, and other dignitaries.
In his address, the Governor extended heartfelt greetings to the people of Telangana, both within India and abroad, marking the state's resilient journey since its formation on June 2, 2014. He highlighted Telangana's transformation into a symbol of inclusive development, cultural revival, and progressive governance.
Emphasising the harmony between global elegance and grassroots wisdom, the Governor unveiled a new eco-initiative under the aegis of Raj Bhavan Telangana. The programme promotes the production of biodegradable leaf plates by tribal communities, particularly empowering women and youth through sustainable livelihood opportunities.
'This is not merely a programme,' said the Governor, 'but a movement—for sustainability, for dignity, and for our planet.' In a symbolic gesture underscoring the message of environmental stewardship, all food served at the event was presented on traditional leaf plates handmade by tribal artisans from remote villages of Telangana.
With active support from Raj Bhavan, tribal women and youth are being trained in the production of eco-friendly leaf plates and cups—turning indigenous traditions into viable income-generating enterprises. This thoughtful initiative exemplifies the Governor's deep commitment to environmental responsibility and tribal welfare.
The Governor also paid glowing tributes to the Miss World 2025 titleholders for their inspiring personal stories and achievements. Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand, who became the first Thai woman to win the Miss World crown after bravely overcoming cancer surgery at the age of 16, was especially honoured for her extraordinary resilience.
Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia, the First Runner-Up, was lauded for her poise and strength in the face of personal adversity. Maja Kladja of Poland and Aurélie Joachim of Martinique, who earned Second and Third Runner-Up titles respectively, were praised for their empowering representation of diversity and inclusion.
Other outstanding participants—including Jéssica Scandiuzzi Pedroso, Krishnah Marie Gravidez, and Jasmine Odette Stringer—were also recognised for their meaningful contributions and inspiring presence.
Commending the Government of Telangana for its exemplary hosting of the Miss World 2025 pageant, the Governor noted the memorable experiences curated for international guests, including visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites, ancient temples, pristine landscapes, and iconic cultural landmarks—each showcasing Telangana's timeless heritage and dynamic cultural fabric.
The evening was a celebration of global acclaim and local pride, symbolising Telangana's growing stature as a centre for sustainable innovation, cultural brilliance, and international harmony, a Raj Bhavan communique said.

IIT-Madras organises Youth Farming Conclave
Chennai, July 2 (UNI) The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT Madras) in partnership with We The Leaders Foundation organized Youth Farming Conclave 2025 in collaboration with several organizations. This conclave marks a major step forward in youth-led agricultural transformation in Tamil Nadu. The event was held at IIT Madras Research Park to demonstrate how modern technology, sustainable practices, and traditional farming knowledge can come together. This one-day conclave brought together young farmers, students, agri-innovators, and institutional leaders to collectively reimagine agriculture as a space for innovation, regeneration, and youth-led enterprise. Addressing the event, Mr. Manoj Kumar, CEO, Naandi Foundation, said the Foundation has managed to convert one million farmers to organic farming. "Most of our work is in Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. We might want to start in Tamil Nadu also". In the last 25 years, the entire focus of the Foundation has been to make people ask three questions --Has the farmer, who made this food that has come to my plate, made profits or is he loss-making? Is this food good for me? By the time this food has come to my plate, how much has it damaged this planet?, he said. Mr. Manoj Kumar said 'How do we ensure that everyone always eat quality food? We have tests to ensure that every food is safe and we should make it the normal. If we want the planet to be regenerated, like the cells in our body, that is the correct way to grow food. We have successfully implemented this in Araku Valley. The only way we can do all of this is if the country decides to go back to its roots.' Speaking about the 'Internship for Farmers' initiative launched during the conclave, former IPS Officer K. Annamalai, who is the Chief Mentor, We The Leaders Foundation, said the 'Internship initiative will provide an exposure to those interested in agriculture. Eight organic farmers have come forward to open their doors to youngsters interested in learning about agriculture. The objective is to plant the seed of farming in the mind of youngsters while they are pursuing studies. The benefits of such initiatives will be felt in the generations to come, he said.
