Karnataka government to deploy anti-communal force in coastal districts
Tumakuru (Karnataka) [India], June 2 (ANI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has said the state government is setting up a new special force to prevent communal violence and ensure law and order in coastal districts like Mangaluru, Udupi, and Karwar. Speaking to the media in Tumakuru, Parameshwara said the government has taken the recent murder in Mangaluru very seriously and has already started taking steps to strengthen security. 'A new Anti-Communal Force has been announced, similar to the Anti-Naxal Force,' he said. 'Orders have been issued and preparations are ongoing. The team will be ready and deployed in 10 to 15 days,' he said. This new force will be sent to three coastal districts in the first phase. It will include officers like SPs, Deputy SPs, inspectors, and other staff, selected from different areas. Special training for this force will be provided in Karkala, following the model used for Anti-Naxal teams. Parameshwara stressed that the force is not aimed at any one community. 'Whether Hindu or Muslim, action will be taken only if someone breaks the law,' he said. 'No one will be spared if they do something wrong.' He added that the government is serious about improving law and order and will not allow any more such crimes. Referring to the recent daylight murder in Koppal, he said that the police have already caught the accused. 'These are rare incidents. We are dealing with them firmly. Overall, the law and order situation in Karnataka is good,' he said, citing a study by the University of Hyderabad which ranked Karnataka as one of the safer states. 'District Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao visited the area after the incident. I had also personally visited the site of an earlier murder,' the Home Minister said. According to Parameshwara, crime in the state has gone down compared to last year, and the government will continue taking strict action to maintain peace. (ANI)

Young minds of art
The Department of Fine Arts at the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad, hosted its annual exhibition Final Display 2025 at its Gachibowli campus. Featuring 33 students from Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture, the exhibition showcased a vibrant array of works in diverse media. Every corner of the department—corridors, indoor spaces, and open courtyards—was transformed into a creative hub, echoing the energy and vision of young artists. Guided by dedicated faculty, students explored themes rooted in social issues, personal experiences, and historical art movements. Many installations featured handmade materials, reflecting sustainability and individuality. The works highlighted a thoughtful engagement with contemporary challenges and demonstrated strong conceptual depth alongside technical finesse. This exhibition was not only an academic milestone but also a vital cultural event, reflecting the pulse of a new generation. To amplify its impact, Final Display 2025 deserves to travel across India. Wider visibility would encourage dialogue, inspire young artists nationwide, and foster a more connected artistic community. These emerging voices are ready—India should be listening.

Young Innovators Take Centre Stage as Samsung ‘Solve for Tomorrow' Rolls Through Hyderabad and Bengaluru
Samsung 'Solve for Tomorrow' Season 4 has made its way to South India, fuelling a wave of youth-driven innovation. Across the dynamic campuses of Hyderabad and the bustling tech hubs of Bengaluru, students are uniting to envision a brighter future for their communities, armed with empathy, purpose, and the principles of design thinking. Samsung 'Solve for Tomorrow 2025' is a nationwide contest designed to inspire students to create innovative solutions to address some of society's most pressing challenges by leveraging technology. It will provide INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams to support the incubation of their projects, along with hands-on prototyping, investor connects, and expert mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty. During the 'Solve for Tomorrow' roadshow at the University of Hyderabad, hundreds of students immersed themselves in a design-thinking workshop, challenging the status quo and uncovering solutions to everyday problems. 'For me, the turning point was when the instructor said, 'There are countless problems in the world, but only a few who take action to solve them,'' said R. Deepika, a Business Analytics student. 'That statement inspired me to become one of those problem-solvers and create meaningful impact.' Mukta, a Healthcare and Hospital Management student, also experienced a shift in perspective. 'This session taught me to think like an entrepreneur. A simple idea can transform the world, and now I'm determined to bring mine to life,' she said. The momentum didn't stop there. At KG Reddy Engineering College in Hyderabad, D. Ganesh Reddy, a BTech Computer Science Engineering student, left the workshop with a clear understanding of how technology can address local challenges. 'The session showed me that student ideas can lead to real-world change if we approach them with curiosity and structure,' he said. Similarly, over 500 students from top institutions like Jain University, Dr. Chandrama Dayanand Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research, and Kempowda Institute of Medical Sciences gathered to explore design thinking and innovation in action. 'This workshop opened my eyes to the problems in my own community,' said Joel J, a second-semester BTech student. 'For the first time, I realized I could be the one to solve them.' A Movement for Innovation Across these cities, the workshops have done more than generate ideas—they've sparked confidence. Confidence that young minds, with the right mindset and guidance, can drive transformative change. As 'Solve for Tomorrow' continues its journey across India, it's not just expanding its reach—it's unlocking new possibilities. From Hyderabad to Bengaluru and soon to regions like the North-East, the program is cultivating a future powered by student-led innovation. Applications are open, and the next generation of problem-solvers is already in motion. Let the ideas flow.

University of Hyderabad in spotlight after LHC bags ‘science Oscar'
HYDERABAD: The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics — often called the 'Oscars of Science' — has been awarded to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN, in which researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) have long played a key role, highlighting India's growing contribution to global science. At the heart of this international collaboration is the team led by Dr Bhawna Gomber at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Electronics Science and Technology, School of Physics. Her group made significant contributions to the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, one of the flagship detectors at the LHC. Explaining CMS's role within the LHC, Dr Bhawna Gomber told TNIE, 'CMS is a general-purpose detector, playing a crucial role in probing both standard model phenomena and physics beyond the Standard Model. In fact, both CMS and its counterpart ATLAS confirmed the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.' She added, 'Our team is involved in both physics analysis—particularly the search for dark matter using proton-proton collision data — and the development of firmware for the calorimeter trigger system, as part of the detector's Phase-2 upgrade.' The group's work spans cutting-edge domains including data analysis, trigger electronics, and high-energy particle interactions, contributing significantly to the success of the CMS project.
