Take NDA government achievements to people from June 23: CM Chandrababu Naidu
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu has directed the party rank and file to actively participate in the month-long door-to-door campaign from June 23 to explain the development programmes and welfare schemes implemented by the coalition government in its first year rule as part of the First Step in Good Governance initiative. We have fulfilled our promise by implementing the Talliki Vandanam scheme. We made it clear that the scheme will be implemented without any cap on the number of school going children in a family. We have delivered that promise, the TDP supremo said. Though we planned to organise the First Step in Good Governance programme with MLAs, MPs, and officials on June 12, it was cancelled due to the plane crash in Ahmedabad, he said. Holding a teleconference with TDP MLAs, MPs, leaders and activists on Friday, Naidu asserted that from leaders to grassroots workers should participate in the campaign highlighting the achievements of NDA government. Besides highlighting our first-year achievements, we should counter false propaganda of opposition. Unable to digest our success, the opposition has resorted to attacks and insulted women, Naidu said. Suggesting the cadre not to be complacent just because of the success of Mahanadu, he ordered the constitution of party organisational committees to provide opportunities to the hardworking activists. Opinions of all should be considered while constituting the TDP committees, he said. Making it clear that posts will be given to only those functioning as Kutumba Sadhikara Saradhi, he said the party activists should always be dynamic. Announcing that training camps will be organised for activists, and leaders from July, Naidu asserted that activists will be elevated as leaders. Recalling that activists sweated it out when the party was not in power, he directed the MLAs to dedicate some time to party activities on a regular basis, and mingle with people. Recalling that party cadre and leaders promoted Super Six, the NDA manifesto, and Babu Surety - Bhavishyathuku Guarantee before the elections, the Chief Minister said the coalition government is now implementing all of them. Despite financial constraints, key schemes are being implemented within the first year. The previous government pushed the State into a debt trap with reckless borrowings. We have released Rs 10,000 crore for the Talliki Vandanam scheme benefiting 67.27 lakh students. Each mother receives Rs 13,000 for every school going child, and Rs 2,000 has been earmarked for school development. We said the scheme would be implemented before the reopening of schools, and we have done it, Naidu said. He explained that the beneficiaries include 18,55,760 mothers with one child, 14,55,322 with two children, 2,10,684 with three children and 20,053 with four children. While the previous government extended this benefit to only 42 lakh children, our government is covering 25 lakh more. Similarly, while Rs 5,540 crore was spent by the previous government, we are spending Rs 8,747 crore on it per annum, which is Rs 3,205 crore more, he highlighted. Parents have expressed happiness over the release of Talliki Vandanam funds. This is historic. Such a massive amount has never been released for a single scheme at once earlier, he said. Despite such efforts, some people are still criticising the NDA government. We are implementing the Talliki Vandanam scheme in a better way without changing any guidelines, he asserted. Under NTR Bharosa, we are providing pensions worth Rs 34,000 crore annually. Through Anna Canteens, four crore meals have been served. For farmers welfare, we are launching the Annadata Sukhibhava scheme on June 20, as promised in our election manifesto. Thus, we are implementing two important schemes of Super Six in the same month, the Chief Minister said. Mentioning that the government is promoting initiatives like yoga, while implementing welfare and development schemes, Naidu said Yogandhra programme is being organised across the State in a big way. International Yoga Day will be observed in Visakhapatnam with a record participation of five lakh people. The goal is to involve two crore people across the State. Already, 2.21 crore people have been registered. Participants who join yoga for three days will receive a certificate. Yoga must become a part of life. This movement aims to build a healthy, wealthy, and happy society. This is a collective movement to place Andhra Pradesh on the global map, the Chief Minister highlighted, adding that preparatory events for Yoga Day will be held at one lakh locations tomorrow.

SCARF (I), along with Chennai Psychiatric Society, under their Employment Exchange Cell (EEC), is organisig it at SCARF premises in Anna Nagar. SCARF chairman, R Seshasayee, said, SCARFs entire mission has been to say mental illness is no different than physical illness. He added that the institutions role doesnt end in curing the patient, but when they are returned to their productive citizenship. Dr R Thara and Dr R Padmavati, SCARF vice chair and director, were also present. In the past two years, since the induction of EEC, nearly 400 people have registered for employment of which about 60% were placed in jobs in SCARF and in other firms with the help of personal contacts. According to the SCARF team, around 60 to 70 people have been employed in the last three months. R Ramesh and Malathi Jeevanantham, two individuals who got employed through SCARF, shared their workplace inclusivity and recovery experiences. Ramesh is currently working at a petrol bunk and Malathi, who is volunteering at SCARFs pharmacy, is participating in the job fair, among 200 other registered candidates. Twenty employers from diverse sectors, including Zepto, Khan Academy, and Zudio Trent, will participate in the job fair. Following the overwhelming response for participation, SCARF (I) is planning to have another job fair on December 3, in commemoration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, with more collaborators to reach more beneficiaries. Reintegration of mentally ill people into society is not the job of only mental health professionals. Its a collective responsibility of everybody in the community and employment is the key method, says Dr Mangala.

People wont be fooled by CMs publicity stunt: AIADMK's Edappadi K Palaniswami
CHENNAI: The ruling DMK on Wednesday reacted strongly to the criticism levelled by Leader of Opposition and AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami that Chief Minister MK Stalin was indulging in publicity stunts by receiving grievance petitions directly from the public keeping the 2026 election in mind. In a statement, the DMK said Palaniswami had no moral right to question the governments grievance redressal mechanisms, given the AIADMK regimes own failure in addressing public complaints during its tenure. Earlier, EPS had remarked that people of Tamil Nadu cannot be hoodwinked by such acts. He also alleged that when Stalin was the Leader of Opposition, he collected thousands of petitions from the public, but never disclosed how many of them were resolved after the DMK came to power. He blamed the government of launching grievance redressal schemes under different names while failing to resolve the actual issues faced by the people. Responding to the charges, Finance Minister and senior DMK leader Thangam Thennarasu accused the AIADMK of seeking publicity during its regime by launching ineffective grievance redressal initiatives. He pointed out that Palaniswami had rebranded the Amma Call Centre in 2021 to promote himself, even though the scheme had received lukewarm response since its original launch in 2016 by former CM J Jayalalithaa. Thennarasu said one of the flagship grievance redressal scheme, Makkaludan Mudhalvar, is being rolled out in three phases. Nearly 24 lakh petitions were received and addressed during the first two phases through 4,402 special camps, he said, adding that the third phase is currently under way. He also highlighted the success of the Ungal Thoguthiyil Mudhalamaichar, under which 1,251 project are under implementation at a cost of Rs 14,442 crore.
Karnataka SES resurvey: 'We know sentiment of people,' DKS responds to BJP
BENGALURU: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Wednesday strongly defended the State Governments decision for a fresh caste census, even as he questioned the opposition BJPs double standards on the issue. We know the sentiment of people, and we respect every single human life, Shivakumar said, acknowledging concerns raised by several communities about the previous survey. We are not rejecting the earlier census, but only trying to correct its shortcomings, the state Congress chief said. Shivakumar pointed out that the BJP, which earlier opposed the original caste survey citing data sanctity, is now opposing the move to redo it. Why the sudden opposition now, when we are trying to address the concerns raised? he told reporters. Shivakumar said the government had spent a lot of money on the previous survey but was worried about the numbers. Congress brass wants SES to nullify damage to Karnataka government He emphasised that the survey modalities would be discussed in the upcoming cabinet meeting. Communities like the Lambanis, Jains, and Besthas have met me, raising concerns about the old survey, he said. On the Union Governments plan to conduct a caste census along with the general census, Shivakumar said, This is our partys agenda, the BJP has copied it. Rahul Gandhi has always advocated proportionate representation for backward classes. When asked if the government had caved to pressure from powerful communities, he said, On the contrary, we have yielded to the pressure from all communities - even the media. He also mentioned that Veerashaiva and Vokkaliga community leaders had called him to welcome the decision. He stressed that the resurvey is not about victory or defeat for any individual. There is no winner or loser here, he said. The final decision on the new survey is expected after a cabinet meeting on June 22. 'Resurvey a waste of taxpayers money' The BJP on Wednesday slammed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for agreeing to conduct a fresh caste census. Earlier, when experts, religious heads, and politicians of different parties said that the caste census report was old and unscientific, the CM ignored it. Now, it has come from his party leaders and he has obliged. The money spent on the earlier report is Rs 165 crore, which has now gone down the drain, said Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka. Ashoka said several serious questions have arisen regarding Siddaramaiahs plan to conduct the survey within a 90-day deadline. In the current situation, people are anxious about how such a survey is feasible, he said. Slamming the idea of an online survey, Ashoka called it another illogical step. Many people who know how to read and write are still unfamiliar with online mechanisms. How can such a survey be feasible? How will the accuracy of information and identification be ensured? the BJP leader said. Ashoka said the caste census issue is to divert peoples attention from the recent Bengaluru stampede tragedy in which 11 people died. He said that if the government is genuinely committed, it should first hold public discussions on how the survey should be conducted. It should also convene an all-party meeting, discuss, and listen to everyones opinion, he said. Former minister and senior BJP Leader V Sunil Kumar said that the Congress high command has thrown the previous report to trash by calling for a fresh survey. This means tax money has been misused and the government tried to cheat people, especially backward class communities, he said, demanding that Siddaramaiah apologise to people.

Gujarat faces educated unemployment crisis as over five lakh people apply for 2,389 government posts
AHMEDABAD: The staggering scale of educated unemployment in Gujarat has come into sharp focus. Over 5.42 lakh aspirants have applied for just 2,389 Revenue Talati Class-3 posts, revealing an intense desperation for government jobs. Simultaneously, more than 2.48 lakh candidates are preparing for the written exam to fill 12,000 Lokrakshak Dal constable posts, highlighting the fierce competition. In a notable shift, the state has raised the bar for Talati posts, making a graduation degree mandatory for the first time, replacing the earlier standard-12 qualification. Yet, rather than thinning the crowd, this move has attracted even more applicants, exposing how a rising educated youth population is clashing with shrinking employment opportunities. Facing a severe shortage of Revenue Talatis, the Gujarat government has launched a fresh recruitment drive, but the overwhelming response points to a deeper employment crisis. In a repeat of 2016, when over 6 lakh candidates applied for just 2,800 posts, the current round has already seen 5.42 lakh applications for only 2,389 vacancies. The online form submission, which began on 26 May, reached a fever pitch by midnight on 10 June, with more than 4.50 lakh forms submitted in a single day. Of these, 3.80 lakh have been confirmed, and over 3 lakh candidates have paid their examination fees, confirming a staggering 200 candidates competing for every single post. Despite the post being a Class-3 role with a modest pay grade of 1900, the exam syllabus has been aligned with that of higher-grade posts such as Deputy Chitnis and Assistant Engineer, both of which fall under the 4200 grade pay bracket. Further raising the stakes, candidates will only receive a refund of their exam fee if they score at least 40 per cent marks. Adding to the pressure are two key changes in the recruitment process. First, the eligibility criteria have been raised, what was once a standard-12 qualification now requires a full graduate degree. Second, the upper age limit, which earlier stood at 33 years, has been extended to 35, widening the competition pool even more. With the bar raised and the crowd swelling, Gujarats Talati recruitment is no longer just a hiring drive, it's a snapshot of an intensifying crisis of educated unemployment. In yet another sign of Gujarats swelling unemployment crisis, 2.48 lakh candidates are set to appear for the Lokrakshak Dal constable recruitment exam on Sunday, 15 June. The Gujarat State Police Recruitment Board has organised this massive written test to fill just 12,000 constable posts, revealing the staggering mismatch between job demand and availability. Responding to questions from Aam Aadmi Party leaders and student activist Yuvrajsinh Jadeja, he told The New Indian Express, This is the second phase of the Lok Rakshak Dal recruitment. In the first round, around 10 lakh candidates had applied for 12,000 posts in the physical test, out of which 2.48 lakh have cleared and are now set to appear for the written exam. With the eligibility bar raised and applicant numbers surging, Gujarats Talati recruitment and Lokrakshak Dal Constable exam have morphed from routine hiring exercises into high-stakes battlegrounds for survival

10 lakh people go without ration as e-KYC wrecks 'access' in Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: The National Food Security Act mandates the State to guarantee food access for every citizen, from the womb stage to adulthood. However, the system meant to safeguard this right in Gujarat is cracking. Startling data from the States own IPDS portal reveals that nearly 10 lakh beneficiaries were not able to receive ration during April, May, and June 2025, largely due to incomplete KYC formalities. This massive lapse exposes the gap between policy promises and on-ground delivery, leaving lakhs of vulnerable citizens battling hunger amid bureaucratic barriers. According to the Anna Suraksha Adhikar Abhiyan, the Centres NDPS portal lists 3.82 crore beneficiaries in Gujarat. Yet, in the last three months, the number of actual beneficiaries has hovered between just 3.72 crore and 3.76 crore -- a shortfall of nearly 10 lakh people. The primary culprit behind this exclusion? Delays and glitches in mandatory e-KYC. But thats not the only red flag. The growing number of silent ration cards adds another layer of crisis. In the past three months alone, Gujarat has recorded over 4 lakh silent cards -- ration cards that get automatically deactivated if not used for three months. Anna Suraksha Adhikar Abhiyan Coordinator Pankti Jog said On paper, it looks like people have stopped collecting rations. However, on the ground, families claim they were turned away by ration dealers due to incomplete e-KYC leaving them without food and branded inactive by the system. This raises a sharp and pressing question: if people are being denied ration due to e-KYC issues and then their cards are marked silent, who is accountable for pushing lakhs into involuntary hunger? With each ration card typically linked to three or more family members, the real number of affected individuals could be over a million, she said. In 2013, the Parliament passed the National Food Security Act (NFSA), aiming to bring every Indian, from children in Anganwadis to urban poor, under a legal food safety net. It brought under its ambit flagship schemes like the Mid-Day Meal, Anganwadi nutrition, and the Public Distribution System (PDS). Gujarat implemented the Act from April 1, 2016, promising subsidised grains wheat at 2/kg, rice at 3/kg, and coarse grains at 1/kg to 75% of its rural and 50% of its urban population. States were also allowed to expand this with pulses, gram, and oil for added nutrition. The month-on-month data reveals the cracks widening. In March 2025, out of 76,94,736 ration cards, 3,72,92,987 beneficiaries. But by April, even with a marginal increase to 77,01,339 ration cards, the number of beneficiaries slightly dipped to 3,72,71,559. May showed no major deviation, with 3,72,92,987 beneficiaries again, holding steady. However, the crisis exploded in June. Despite 73,99,129 ration cards in circulation, only 3,08,86,997 people received their entitlement. The burden of compliance fell squarely on the ration cardholders. Verification was to be done via the 'My Ration App' or through ration dealers but with little digital literacy or support, rural families were forced to flock to taluka offices. In these centres, patchy internet, faulty thumbprint scans, and long queues made Aadhaar updates a nightmare. Villagers were blamed for technical errors they couldnt fix and redirected to distant Aadhaar centres. In a few cases, due to mysterious rejections or glitches, even those who completed the process remained unverified, effectively cut off from their right to subsidised food. The result? A law meant to ensure food security is now gatekept by flawed technology and bureaucratic hurdles, and the people it aimed to protect are once again left in the lurch. Pankti Jog, Anna Suraksha Adhikar Abhiyan, Gujarat said, In July 2024, the Food and Civil Supplies Department assured us that ration supply would not be disrupted during the eKYC process. Now, the government has taken a U-turn declaring that without eKYC, ration will be stopped. This directly violates the Right to Food. Despite people trying to complete eKYC at taluka offices, they are being denied their rightful food grains. This is an unjust punishment of ration card holders. We strongly condemn this arbitrary move and demand the department reveal the circular backing this decision, she added

Dakshina Kannada officials ask people to leave landslide zones, face resistance from residents
MANGALURU: In the backdrop of recent landslides which claimed four lives, including three kids, the Dakshina Kannada dist administration has advised people living in landslide-prone areas to shift to safer areas briefly. The authorities will try to convince them; if not they will be shifted with the help of police. As many as 135 relief centres will be opened to accommodate them in case of any disaster, the highest being in Mangaluru, Ullal and Sullia taluks. With India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a red alert for the district on June 12, the authority held a meeting with disaster management officials and the incident commanders on Tuesday. The district administration has issued orders to shift the families from vulnerable areas. Incident commanders in every gram panchayath will visit their respective villages and assess the vulnerability of the specific area. We will give the families in writing as to why they have to shift and awareness will be created among the families. To make them aware about the landslide risks, we will show them the videos of the recent landslides that took four lives and the dangerous situation that they are in, an officer said. The incident commanders have been instructed to submit the compliance report and relocating exercise for the next three days. It has become a big challenge to relocate thousands of residents settled in the areas. Majority of the residents are reluctant to shift to relief centres. Many families are ignoring the warnings issued multiple times by the officials of the district disaster management and the gram panchayats. Their reluctance has affected the relief measures. We have issued multiple rounds of safety alerts through local administrations but there is no positive response from many of the families, said an official from the disaster management authority. Authorities say many are reluctant to shift to relief centresmostly in the Ullal region-- due to emotional attachment to their homes and land, concern for their livelihood, social stigma and resistance for change and some of them are ready to shift to their relatives houses but not to relief camps. Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner in-charge Dr Anand K told TNIE that they have identified 88 areas vulnerable to landslides affecting an approximate population of 21,000 people and efforts are on to shift the families from most vulnerable areas to prevent any casualties in the coming days.
Thamirabarani flow choked by dead peoples clothes; clean-up yields 94 tonnes of waste
TIRUNELVELI: Activists have raised concerns over the increasing practice of people discarding clothes, pillows, sandals, glass-framed photographs, and other items of their deceased family members into the Thamirabarani river at Papanasam during the thithi ritual, allegedly on the advice of priests and fortune tellers. They have also called for stringent action against those polluting the river. Led by B Moorthy (74), a retired assistant director of statistics, activists retrieved approximately 93.8 tonnes of garment waste, including wet clothes, beds, pillows, 580 kg of sandals, 975 kg of glass-framed photographs, 255 kilograms of napkins and diapers, and four tonnes of plastic waste from the river near the Papanasanathar Temple during a 21-day cleanup drive in May. Moorthy told TNIE that despite the local administration placing buckets along the riverbank for waste disposal, visitors continue throwing things into the river during thithi and parikaram rituals, believing it ensures peace for the deceased. He added, We recovered 1,800 kg of mud pots and 3.5 tonnes of deity idols discarded during the 21 days drive. He further said that while reusable new clothes of visitors left on the riverbank are collected by contractors appointed by the local body, items belonging to the deceased are often thrown into the river, and there is a rise in such practice over the past 15 years due to advice from certain priests and fortune tellers. To curb this, the local administration has been raising awareness through public announcements. An official from the local body said that officials have to address this issue with sensitivity, as some people may use this situation for their political gain. People should recognise the sanctity of the river and refrain from actions that defile it. When TNIE contacted a priest at Papanasanathar Temple in Papanasam, he clarified that a few astrologers have been advising devotees to discard the clothes of their deceased family members into the river. He added, This practice had minimal impact five decades ago as the population was smaller and fewer deaths, causing negligible contamination of the river. However, with an increasing population, the situation has worsened. The state government must launch awareness campaigns to educate the public, rather than leaving it to priests and astrologers. Collector R Sukumar assured that measures are being taken to prevent river pollution. We have placed buckets in over 10 locations along the riverbank for waste disposal. While there are no restrictions on performing rituals, we urge people to cooperate with officials to keep the river clean, said the collector.
