Students must work hard till the age of 25 for success: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, May 28 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wedneday urged students to dedicate themselves to hard work and education until the age of 25 to secure a successful and fulfilling life. He emphasised that good jobs and a better future can only be achieved through consistent effort and education. Speaking at the Gurukula Awards function held at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Telangana stalwart Suravaram Pratap Reddy, noting that Telugu University has been named in his honour to recognise his contributions. Similarly, a prominent women's university has been named after freedom fighter "Veeranari" Chakali Ilamma, highlighting the state's commitment to celebrating those who have fought for the people. Revanth Reddy underlined that true legacy is built by serving society, not by one's caste identity. "The Congress is carrying forward the ideals of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," he said. He called on Dalits, Tribals, and other weaker sections to abandon feelings of inferiority and embrace self-confidence. The Chief Minister announced the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, aimed at empowering underprivileged students to compete at global standards. 'Education is the only way to achieve recognition and upliftment in society,' he added. Lashing out at the previous BRS government, the CM criticised their focus on schemes like goat, sheep, and fish distribution, while neglecting educational empowerment. He questioned, 'Why didn't the BRS take steps to make the weaker sections stakeholders in governance through education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of unemployed youth by not releasing job notifications for a decade?' Highlighting the achievements of his administration, Revanth Reddy said the current government has filled 59,000 government jobs within a year, and successfully conducted Group 1 exams and announced results. He accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing appointment orders by filing court cases, turning the issue into a social problem. The CM condemned the opposition for prioritising their own family members for posts soon after their electoral defeat, while simultaneously blocking job opportunities for the youth. He urged the younger generation to question BRS leaders when they visit and to expose their alleged conspiracies. 'Focus is essential,' the CM warned students. 'Getting distracted can lead to problems for your families. Don't let such situations arise. Be confident, excel, and make not just your parents, but also your state proud.' Revanth Reddy also highlighted his government's inclusive approach, noting the appointment of the first Dalit Vice Chancellor in Osmania University's 100-year history, Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission, and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. "These appointments are based on merit and education, not caste," he stated. The CM said, 'The future of our country lies in the classrooms. I sincerely wish all students success in every field.'

Awareness on forest produce must be enhanced
Nandyal: District Collector G Raja Kumari stressed the need to focus on improving the livelihoods of Tribals in the 45 tribal habitations across 14 mandals of the district. She urged agricultural scientists to support efforts aimed at the holistic development of these communities. The Collector participated in the inauguration of a seven-day training programme on scientific beekeeping at Regional Agricultural Research Station on Monday. The programme aims to equip Tribals with scientific knowledge in apiculture. Associate Director of Research Dr M Johnson, ADRC Deputy Diredtie (DD) K Chennaiah, and other officials attended the event. The Collector noted that significant progress has already been made in tribal welfare through initiatives like the cultivation of Nannari (Indian Sarsaparilla) and the establishment of processing units in Atmakur, which have helped tribals earn better incomes. She added that similar success can be achieved through scientific beekeeping. By adopting advanced apiculture methods, tribals can produce high-quality honey and other bee-related products, opening up new avenues for income through effective marketing. She further stated that if this initiative is taken up collectively through Van Dhan Vikas Kendras, Nandyal district has the potential to become a key supplier of honey across the state. The Collector encouraged participants to follow expert guidance shared during the training sessions and improve their socio-economic conditions through scientific apiculture. Associate Director of Research Dr M Johnson stated that the primary objective of this week-long training program is to provide livelihood support to Chenchu tribals, especially those from Narapureddy Kunta village in Bandi Atmakur mandal. He noted that scientific beekeeping not only ensures higher honey yields but also leads to sustainable economic upliftment for the tribals. As part of the event, the officials visited stalls set up by Nallamala Honeybee Park, Balapanur village, where they observed demonstrations of honey extraction methods from bee boxes.
