Exhibition on Telugu freedom fighters opens at Salar Jung Museum
Hyderabad: A photo exhibition showcasing the contributions of prominent Telugu freedom fighters and the evolution of the Indian National Flag was inaugurated today at the Salar Jung Museum. The exhibition, curated by the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC) under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, forms part of its Integrated Communication and Outreach Programme (ICOP). The event was formally inaugurated by V. Vijayendra Prasad, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), alongside Prof. B. Jagadeeshwar Rao, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hyderabad (UoH). The exhibition features over 40 panels detailing the lives and sacrifices of unsung heroes such as Turrebaz Khan, MoulviAllauddin, Kaloji Narayana Rao, Sangam Laxmi Bayamma, Kumram Bheem, and SuddalaHanumanthu. Speaking at the event, Vijayendra Prasad praised the exhibition as a rare and valuable compilation of historical information. He emphasised the importance of making such content accessible to the youth and encouraged the CBC to leverage digital platforms for wider dissemination. Reflecting on the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' segment, which traces the design evolution of the Indian flag beginning with PingaliVenkayya's 1921 version, Prasad remarked that the National Flag is not just a piece of cloth but a profound symbol of India's self-respect and pride. He urged every citizen to uphold the dignity and honour embodied by the flag. Prof. B. Jagadeeshwar Rao highlighted the exhibition's role in preserving historical memory and fostering patriotism among younger generations. He underscored three central themes: India's freedom struggle, the evolution of the National Flag, and the liberation of Hyderabad from Nizam's rule. He called upon students to internalise these lessons and transform patriotic sentiment into constructive societal contributions. Education, he noted, should serve not only personal advancement but also national unity and progress. As part of the exhibition's outreach, CBC Hyderabad conducted essay writing and Telugu poetry competitions on patriotic themes such as 'Operation Sindoor' across five city colleges. Winners were felicitated during the event with certificates and prizes presented by Vijayendra Prasad and Prof. Jagadeeshwar Rao. Shruti Patil, Additional Director General, CBC, stated that the exhibition aims to reconnect today's youth with the nation's rich legacy of courage and sacrifice. She expressed hope that such initiatives would inspire a deeper appreciation for India's freedom movement. The exhibition will remain open to the public until August 17, 2025, offering citizens an opportunity to engage with the historical narratives of Telugu freedom fighters. G. Kusum, Curator of Salar Jung Museum, and Koteshwar Rao, AD CBC, were present at the event along with other officials from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Union Minister assures Karnataka of making arrangements for supply of fertilizers to tide over shortage
Union Minister for Agriculture Shivaraj Singh Chauhan has assured Karnataka, facing urea shortage, of making arrangements to supply the remaining quantum of fertilizers from the allocated share to help tide over the shortage, according to Karnataka Agriculture Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy. In an official note, Mr. Cheluvarayaswamy said the Union Minister had made the assurance at a video conference of State Agriculture Ministers. Responding to an appeal by him to make up for the short supply from the Centre, the Union Minister had said that he would talk to the Secretary to the Union Fertilizers' Ministry and make arrangements, he noted. At the videoconference, Karnataka again blamed the Centre's short supply for the urea shortage in the State, and appealed to it to immediately provide the remaining stock of 2.67 lakh tonnes. Giving the break-up of the urea shortage, Mr. Cheluvarayaswamy told Mr. Chauhan that the shortage in the State stood at 1.27 lakh tonnes in July and 1.4 lakh tonnes in August. Pointing out that the south-west monsoon is the mainstay for the State's agricultural sector and sowing would gain steam by August-September that marks the closing phase of this season, the Minister expressed concern that the sowing and standing crops may get hit if farmers did not get adequate fertilizers on time. He also noted that urea was in great demand as it was being used as a 'top-dose fertilizer' for most of the crops. Emphasising the point that shortage of urea and DAP had become a national problem, Mr. Cheluvarayaswamy said Ministers from several States had raised issues related to urea shortage at the videoconference. He also brought to the notice of Mr. Chauhan that the State government had begun the operations of University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences in Mandya from this academic year and appealed to him to expedite the process of bringing the new university under ICAR's recognition so that the Central funds for development of the university could be availed.
