300 students take part in free career counselling
About 300 students took part, both offline and online, for guidance and know-how on career paths in engineering, medicine, agriculture and allied fields. Telangana Council of Higher Education secretary Sriram Venkatesh said prospects in core subject areas in engineering are bright as the State gives it special importance.
Computer Science and Engineering professor at JNTU-Hyderabad S.Viswanadha Raju said students need not feel anxious about trend shaping courses such as AI. Expert sessions were led by P.Sri Sita Laxmi of CSIIT's School of Architecture and Planning, Samson Sujith Kumar and Shilpa Gaddam of Unicorpus Health Foundation for medicine stream, and J.Suresh of Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University on agriculture and allied courses. Manasseh John Wesley, founder of Kareerkindle, an EduTech platform Career building and upscaling platform for students addressed the aspirants.
Telangana State Christian Minority Corporation chairman Deepak John said representation of more Christians in public sector employment must be encouraged. Telangana Minority Commission vice-chairman B. Shanker Luke wanted more such interactive session to be conducted for students.
ICJC Chairman K. Stevenson said they were planning to conduct job fair and digital health and wellness campaigns too.

Giant mysterious circles seen in Saudi desert: Here's what they are
A new image captured by the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite has sparked curiosity online with its dramatic show of perfectly round, brightly coloured formations scattered across the barren desert of northern Saudi they may appear mysterious from above, these giant circles are very much man-made, and part of a modern agricultural image, taken through radar technology from three separate months, October 2024 (blue), January 2025 (green), and May 2025 (red), overlays the data to highlight changes in land use over These psychedelic rings are, in fact, central-pivot irrigation fields near the town of Tabarjal, nestled within the Wadi As Sirhan basin. The area pictured lies within the Wadi As Sirhan basin and shows how Saudi Arabia's desert is used for agriculture. (Photo: ESA) Each circular farm measures approximately one kilometer wide, and at the center lies a well that taps into underground rotating sprinklers revolve around the well, watering the land uniformly and creating picture-perfect rings of cultivation. This system is crucial in Saudi Arabia's dry climate, where rainfall is scarce and most of the land consists of arid desert featuring no permanent rivers or radar instead of traditional photography, Sentinel-1 enables consistent imaging regardless of weather or lighting, allowing scientists to monitor agricultural activity across the colourful composite reveals not just the presence of crops but their growth stages, irrigation patterns, and seasonal the harsh climate, crops such as wheat, alfalfa, and vegetables are grown here, made possible by careful water management strategies. However, experts warn that the aquifers supplying these systems are not being replenished, making sustainability a growing concern. The circles, each approximately one kilometre wide, are formed by central-pivot irrigation systems. (Photo: ESA) The surrounding areas on the image, shown in white, grey, or black, indicate either bare land, desert sand, or non-vegetated largest urban feature visible is Tabarjal, appearing as a white blotch in the top right. The town serves as a vital agricultural hub, supporting surrounding rural communities and playing a key role in northern Saudi Arabia's food first appeared as mysterious alien-like symbols in the sand are actually a stunning demonstration of how human ingenuity and satellite technology can turn even the driest landscapes into productive farmland.- Ends

As teams prep for Axiom-4's return, crew continues with science on orbit
Axiom-4 crew (Image credits: ANI) BENGALURU: Weather permitting, the four-member Axiom-4 mission (Ax-4) crew, including Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla (Shux), is set to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) at around 4.35 pm IST on Monday (July 14). Hours after Steve Stitch, manager, Nasa commercial crew programme had confirmed the undocking date, Axiom Space confirmed the targeted time for undocking, beginning the homeward journey of the crew and culminating with a splashdown and recovery. The crew, which launched on June 25 and docked with the ISS the next day, has completed its planned 14-day tenure at the orbital lab and even 'enjoyed a rest day' upon completion of two weeks. Now, even as teams from Axiom, Nasa and SpaceX prepare for the crew's return to Earth, Commander Peggy Whitson, Pilot Shux, and mission specialists Slawosz Uznanski and Tibor Kapu are making the most of their final days on orbit. The science being done at ISS, Axiom said, was 'pushing forward a wide range of experiments that could shape the future of space exploration and improve life on Earth.' From testing of a special champagne bottle to work that could aid in allowing people with diabetes to travel to space, and from irrigating sprouts to gathering data to check if thoughts could control machines, Ax-4 mission had a research complement of around 60 scientific studies, including seven from India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Franklin India NFO Investment Franklin Templeton India AMC Learn More Undo Aside from India, the scientific investigations are from 30 other countries, including the US, Poland, Hungary, Brazil, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. 'We're conducting more research studies than any private ISS mission before. It's not just about science—it's about international collaboration,' Whitson, the Ax-4 commander and a veteran astronaut, had said earlier. India's contribution includes a diverse portfolio of experiments in fields like biotechnology, agriculture, and human physiology, designed by institutions across Bengaluru, Dharwad, Thiruvananthapuram, and New Delhi. Among the Indian studies, one from IISc explored how humans interact with electronic screens in microgravity and investigated the resilience of tardigrades- microscopic organisms known for their survival capabilities. An experiment by InStem, Bengaluru, examined the effect of metabolic supplements on muscle regeneration in space, while testing the sprouting of salad seeds, critical for space-based nutrition, was designed by University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), with NIPGR, designed the study to examine the behaviour of edible microalgae and cyanobacteria in space conditions. And Isro's IIST, alongside Kerala Agricultural University, sent experiments to investigate how microgravity influences the growth of food crops.
