Tirupati: Shreeja Mahila milk producer company limited (MMPCL) and Mother Dairy are all set to establish their processing units in chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's home constituency Kuppam.
Representatives of both the companies met chief minister Naidu at his new residence in Kuppam, Chittoor district, on Monday and held a detailed discussion about their expansion plans.
"Met the representatives of Shreeja milk producers organisation and Mother Dairy at Kuppam. We discussed their transformative investment plans to achieve zero poverty, which aligns with our vision for Swarna Andhra. In line with this vision, the companies have been allotted land to establish their industrial units at Kuppam.
Shreeja milk producers organisation will set up a dairy and an animal feed processing unit and Mother Dairy will set up a fruit pulp processing unit.
Together, the two companies will generate employment for 8,000 persons," the CM posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
He exuded confidence that these initiatives will strengthen the rural economy as these companies plan to procure milk and horticulture produce from the farmers directly.

Green growth: Rajasthan crosses 600 IGBC-certified buildings, ranks in top 10
More than 600 IGBC-rated green buildings in Rajasthan now JAIPUR: Rajasthan has emerged as one of the top 10 leading states with more than 600 Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) -rated green buildings covering 185 million sq ft, demonstrating an uptrend in sustainable development . Corporate and government offices have been at the forefront of adopting green certification, primarily due to the benefits in energy and water consumption. M Anand, deputy executive director of CII-IGBC, said these buildings achieve 40-50% energy savings compared to traditional structures. Water demand reduction ranges from 30-35%, he added. He said earlier the construction of green buildings used to cost about 20% more compared to conventional houses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo "Now the price difference is merely 2-3%. The additional investment is typically recovered within 18 months through reduced operational costs, while the benefits of lower energy and water consumption continue throughout the building's lifetime," said M Anand at a CII-Rajasthan event on environment protection. Besides corporate offices and govt buildings, green certification in the real estate sector has also witnessed a sharp increase with growing awareness about the benefits among the end-users and the govt incentives offered to developers. "The market penetration of green buildings in Rajasthan in the new projects currently stands at 10-12%, marking substantial growth over the past decade. Green homes have proven to be better investments than instruments like gold and equity," said Anand. Citing examples, he said these buildings incorporate innovative plumbing features to reduce water use, install rainwater harvesting facilities, and recycle grey and black water. The hospitality sector, particularly hotel chains, has embraced green building certification , recognizing the long-term benefits of sustainable construction. While architectural expertise for green buildings was concentrated in metro areas earlier, the concept has gradually expanded to smaller cities. Current CII-Rajasthan chairman Sanjay Agarwal and the previous chairman Arun Misra also spoke on the initiatives CII is pursuing to increase the industry's green footprint.

‘You can imagine the crowd': Over 9 lakh took the Metro till 11pm on Bengaluru stampede day
Bengaluru stampede NEW DELHI: A day after the deadly stampede during RCB's IPL victory parade that killed 11 people and left at least 70 injured, Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Thursday announced that the government would formulate a fresh Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for all mega public events and celebrations in the state. The move comes amid massive public outrage and mounting questions over lapses in planning and crowd control outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where thousands had gathered to catch a glimpse of the RCB team that clinched its maiden IPL title. "According to information from Bangalore Metro, Over 8 lakh people travelled till 11pm on Wednesday. You can imagine how much crowd had come," Parameshwara told reporters, highlighting the unprecedented turnout that overwhelmed the stadium's 30,000 capacity. Metro records support the claim — Namma Metro recorded its highest-ever single-day ridership on June 4, with 9,66,732 passengers, nearly triple the usual footfall, said a BMRCL release. Purple Line carried 4.78 lakh passengers, Green Line saw 2.84 lakh, and the Majestic interchange alone handled over 2 lakh commuters. Overcrowding led to temporary shutdowns of Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha, and MG Road stations in the evening. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Conheça o Alarme com Sirene que afasta os Ladrões com 40% Off Verisure Saiba Mais Undo Calling the incident a tragic first in the state's cricketing history, Parameshwara said a new SOP would be created under the home department, mandating all future mega events to follow police-sanctioned crowd control frameworks. "Such deaths shouldn't happen. Innocents should not die. Many victims were youngsters, aged between 20 and 25, who came to celebrate. They wouldn't have expected to lose their lives,' he said. 'It pains anyone to look at the dead bodies.' Inquiry ordered, lapses to be fixed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered a magisterial inquiry led by the Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner. 'If any lapses are found, strict action will be taken against whoever is responsible,' Parameshwara said. So far, 46 of the injured have been discharged from hospitals while 10 remain admitted, though their condition is not serious, according to doctors. The minister refused to speculate on accountability ahead of the inquiry but said responsibilities would be fixed after identifying the lapses. When asked about the FIR not being filed, Parameshwara said he would discuss the matter with the Police Commissioner and the DGP. Ignored warnings? Asked if senior officials had advised against hosting the felicitation event in such haste, Parameshwara said, 'There are such claims, let's see who said what and when.' He admitted the RCB team's arrival created a celebratory frenzy across the city. 'There were celebrations all through Tuesday night. By morning, the mood for another celebration had set in.' 'No one expected three lakh people to come against the stadium's capacity of just 30,000,' he said. The minister said he would visit the incident site and also hold meetings with RCB officials and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) to discuss future precautions. At the Vidhana Soudha, where a separate RCB felicitation was held, no major incident occurred, though Parameshwara admitted that some crowd mismanagement happened and 'sticks were reportedly thrown at the media for obstructing the view'. A new SOP, he reiterated, will ensure tragedies like this are never repeated.
