From tiny village to IAS, the success story of Banna Venkatesh
SRIKAKULAM: lladapeta, a tiny village located in Jalumuru mandal of Srikakulam district hogged the limelight with Bana Venkatesh, achieving All India Rank (AIR) 15th in the Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2024 conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Venkatesh, is the eldest son of Banna Chandra Rao and Rohini, a middle class family relying on agriculture. He studied up to Class-V at an English medium convent at his home town and was later shifted to a private school in Srikakulam district headquarters where he completed Class X. He then moved to Visakhapatnam where he studied Intermediate MPC group. Venkatesh did his engineering (B.Tech) at National Institute of Technology (NIT) at Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu, and got a job through campus selection in the final year. He was not happy with the software job as an engineer as it was not suitable to his attitude to do service to people. After number of brain storming events and discussions with his friends finally Venkatesh took a firm decision to appear for UPSC examinations and resigned his job in 2021. In the first attempt in 2022 Venkatesh failed in UPSC preliminary examinations, but gained lot of experience, learned tips, estimated preparation levels and finding backdrops through self-introspection. By overcoming all the draw backs again attempted second time in 2023 and secured all India level 467 rank and got selected for Indian Police Service (IPS). Now he is on training at Sardhar Vallabha Bhai Patel National Police Academy (SVBPNPA) at Hyderabad. Venkatesh was not satisfied with his IPS selection. His ultimate goal was to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer. To achieve his dream Venkatesh appeared third time in 2024 for UPSC examinations and secured all India level 15 rank and selected for IAS. He wants to serve his people by providing quality education, health care and to arrest migrations in seeking livelihood as he witnessed all the above three aspects from his childhood. I was inspired by my parents as both are service oriented and they encouraged me and my brother to learn quality studies and inculcated positive thinking. My brother Banna Vamsi is working as the ISRO scientist at Sriharikota. Preparation for CSE examinations is too difficult and while preparing for the examinations most of the candidates are facing tremendous pressure, felt isolation and sometimes went into depression, rightly at this movement one should need support from parents, family members and friends, luckily I have good parents, only brother and three best friends Hemanth Patruni, Divya.S, Konda Madhusudhan Reddy who encouraged me every day till I achieved my goal, he said. Furthermore he added, To clear CSE examinations firm decision, commitment and hard work is essential coming to my experience I have decided firmly in 2021 to achieve my dream as an IAS officer and resigned the lucrative software job where I did not find self-satisfaction as it was totally different from ideology and attitude, my aim and attitude is to serve people by receiving responsibilities with pleasure, Banna Venkatesh shared his journey with TNIE. Venkatesh elaborated tips for success, I have prepared for the CSE examinations through online coaching from Hyderabad based Forum IAS academy, my optional subject is Geography and I have gained lot of confidence, knowledge and learned more tips for preparation. I learned about proper utilisation of precious time too as these are key points for success of any person. IAS aspirants should sacrifice other things like passing the time with friends, watching TV, going to movies, attending functions, sports and games.

Former Basara temple priest Ganesh Sharma Dravid appointed 71st pontiff of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam
NIZAMABAD: The appointment of Ganesh Sharma Dravid as the 71st pontiff (Sri Guru Sathya Chandrasekhara Saraswathi) of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam has drawn attention in Basara, Nirmal district. Vedic priest Kandikota Naveen Sharma from the Sri Gyana Saraswathi Devi temple welcomed the appointment and recalled his past association with the new pontiff. Ganesh Sharma, originally from Annavaram in Andhra Pradesh, served at the Basara temple between 2022 and 2024. He was appointed by the state Endowments department after Vedic training and spent much of his life in Hyderabad. Social media posts recently highlighted his earlier role as Rigveda Asthana Vidwan at Basara. Naveen Sharma said Ganesh Sharma had strong knowledge of the Rugveda and maintained good relations with temple staff. We were close colleagues. None of us expected him to become the successor of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, he said. The Basara temple, about 36 km from Nizamabad, regularly attracts devotees from across the Telugu states, especially during Vasantha Panchami and examination season. Many bring their children for the Aksharabhyasam ritual. Some also observe 41-day deekshas at the temple. There is a belief that the idol of Saraswathi was installed by Vedavyasa Maharshi and that Lord Nrusimha Saraswathi once visited the temple. With Sharmas connection to Basara now public, temple authorities expect increased footfall.

PM Modi relaunches Amaravati capital project, calls it the dream taking shape of Swarna Andhra
VIJAYAWADA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, rekindling the long-pending dream of Andhra Pradeshs greenfield capital, Amaravati, on Friday at Uddandarayunipalem, where he had laid its foundation stone nine years ago, described it as a land where tradition and progress intertwine. Addressing a massive gathering, Modi said, I dont see just a city, but a dream taking shape. A new Amaravati, a new Andhra. He highlighted the publics enthusiasm, noting Amaravatis Buddhist legacy of peace and its potential as a powerhouse for Vikasit Bharat. Beginning his speech in Telugu, the Prime Minister paid homage to Andhras heritage, invoking Goddess Durga Bhavani and expressing joy at the occasion. Referring to the foundation stone laying, the inauguration of projects worth nearly Rs 60,000 crore, and Amaravatis revival, Modi said, This isnt merely concrete construction but the foundation of Andhras aspirations and Vikasit Bharats vision. He recalled Amaravatis historical significance as the capital of the Gods, now becoming the states capital, calling it a divine sign for a Swarna Andhra that will fuel the vision of Vikasit Bharat. Amaravati isnt just a city; its the force to transform Andhra into a modern, progressive state, he said, envisioning it as a hub for IT, AI, green energy, clean industries, education, and healthcare. He pledged central support for building the necessary infrastructure. Praising Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Modi revealed he had studied Naidus initiatives during his tenure as Gujarats Chief Minister and applied those lessons in his governance. Naidu leads the nation in technology, he said, lauding him as the ideal leader for future tech projects. Invoking former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Raos vision for a developed Andhra, Modi urged unity to make Amaravati the growth engine of Vikasit Bharat. Chandrababu, Pawan Kalyan, we must fulfil NTRs dream together, he said. Taking a swipe at the previous regime, Modi remarked that the obstacles to the Praja Rajadhani, for which he laid the foundation in 2015, have now been cleared under Naidus leadership. He assured that the capital infrastructure, including the High Court, Assembly, Secretariat, and Raj Bhavan, would be built on priority. Modi highlighted Indias infrastructure strides over the past decade, positioning the country among the fastest-developing nations. Andhra has significantly benefited, with thousands of crores allocated to railway and road projects, enhancing both inter-district and interstate connectivity. These developments, he said, will enable farmers to reach markets faster, boost industries, and promote tourismsuch as easier access to the Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirupati via the Renigunta-Naidupeta highway. He noted that Andhras railway infrastructure has transformed, with the states railway budget increasing from under Rs 900 crore (20092014) to Rs 9,000 crore today. This has enabled 100% electrification, the operation of eight Vande Bharat trains, and the introduction of modern Amrit Bharat trains. Over 750 railway bridges and underpasses have been constructed, and more than 70 stations are being upgraded under the Amrit Bharat Scheme. Emphasising the economic multiplier effect of infrastructure, Modi said it increases demand for cement, steel, and transport, and creates thousands of jobs for Andhras youth. He reiterated the NDAs focus on the poor, farmers, youth, and women, citing Rs 12 lakh crore spent on fertilisers and modern seeds, along with Rs 5,500 crore in crop insurance for Andhra farmers. The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi has delivered Rs 17,500 crore to lakhs of farmers, while the Polavaram project, a joint central-state effort, will transform the lives of millions of farmers. Modi celebrated Andhras contributions to Indias space programme through Sriharikota and announced a new DRDO defence facility, Navadurga missile range in Nagayalanka, which will strengthen national security. He emphasised unity as Indias true strength, citing Ekta Malls like the one in Visakhapatnam that promote handicrafts and the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat initiative. He commended Naidus announcement of hosting International Yoga Day on 21 June, pledging to attend the event in Visakhapatnam to promote yoga globally. Under Chandrababus leadership, well break world records, he said, thanking the state for the invitation.

Rajasthan to join Indias first cheetah conservation corridor with Madhya Pradesh
JAIPUR: Rajasthan is all set to become a part of Indias first cheetah reintroduction project, currently operational in Madhya Pradesh. A wildlife corridor spanning 17,000 square kilometers will be developed across both states, allowing cheetahs to roam freely in a protected and connected habitat. The corridor will link Palpur Kuno National Park and Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh with the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan. As part of the plan, seven districts in Rajasthan Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, and Chittorgarh will be integrated into the project. Speaking in Jaipur on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasised the success of the cheetah project, describing it as a unique initiative in Asia. It is a matter of pride that cheetahs are thriving here. This is among the most successful wildlife conservation efforts globally, he said. Yadav also stated that the project would now move forward in collaboration with Rajasthan. Highlighting past joint efforts, the MP Chief Minister recalled the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal river linking project, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We are confident that both states will progress together on this project under the leadership of the Prime Minister, he added. According to the action plan released by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has designated the Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape as a suitable cheetah habitat. Of the total corridor area, 10,500 square kilometers fall within Madhya Pradesh, while 6,500 square kilometers are in Rajasthan. The corridor will enable cheetahs to move from Kuno National Park through the Mukundara Hills Reserve in Rajasthan to Gandhi Sagar. Discussions are also underway to include parts of Uttar Pradesh, specifically the forest areas of Jhansi and Lalitpur, within the extended landscape. An official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan is in the pipeline. The proposal has reached the Chief Ministers of both states and is awaiting final approval. During his visit to Jaipur, CM Mohan Yadav met with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. Sources suggest that discussions on the cheetah corridor were held, and the signing of the MoU is expected soon.

As the State aims to build a world-class capital, historians and leaders are advocating for the recognition of his contributions in the new citys development. Dr Jasti Veeranjaneyulu, Chairman of the Amaravati Development Committee and National Vice President of the All India Panchayati Parishad, called on Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to establish a Smrithi Vanam (memorial park) in Amaravati in honour of Raja Vasireddy. He proposed preserving Mahendra Vilas, the Rajas ancestral residence, and converting it into a museum to showcase his life and legacy. Speaking to TNIE, Veeranjaneyulu noted that while the TDP government had initiated plans for a 2018 memorial, it was shelved after a change in leadership. With the capital project revitalised, he stressed that this is the opportunity to permanently memorialise the Rajas vision. Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Naidu ruled over 552 villages across Rajahmundry, Nandigama, and Guntur, relocating his capital from Chintapalli to Dhanyakataka (modern-day Dharanikota). He promoted peace, prosperity, and culture, constructing the Amaralingeswara Swamy temple and the Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple. British Surveyor General Colin Mackenzie, who visited in 1797, lauded the towns architectural splendour.
RAIPUR: Seven faculty members and a student leader have been booked for allegedly forcing students of Bilaspur-based Guru Ghasidas Central University to offer namaz (Islamic prayer) during the National Service Scheme (NSS) camp organised in the district. The incident occurred on March 31 during the special camping program held in the Kota block from March 26 to April 1 this year. A total of 159 students participated in various community service activities during the event. After their return, several students alleged that a program officer and a coordinator had forced them to offer namaz on the day of Eid (March 31). As protests grew, the university formed a three-member committee to investigate the allegations. Some students also filed a complaint at the Koni police station in Bilaspur, demanding action against the program officer, coordinator, and other teachers involved. Some students claimed that after protesting against performing namaz, they were allegedly threatened with being denied certificates. A police inquiry was initiated after students returning from the camp protested, and right-wing outfits also held demonstrations demanding action. The Bilaspur Senior Superintendent of Police, Rajnesh Singh, formed a four-member committee led by City Superintendent of Police, Akshay Sabadra, to conduct the investigation. The report was submitted to the SSP on Saturday. According to the Bilaspur police, as many as 159 students were allegedly forced to offer namaz during the camp at Shivtarai village in Kota, although only four of them were Muslims. The police have registered a case against Professor Dilip Jha, Madhulika Singh, Jyoti Verma, Neeraj Kumari, Prashant Vaishnav, Suryabhan Singh, and Basant Kumar, all teachers at the Central University, as well as the team leader-cum-student, Ayushmann Choudhary. They have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Sections 196, 197, 299, 302, and 190, as well as Section 4 of the Chhattisgarh Religious Freedom Act. We will continue our investigation into the incident, the SSP said.

Government to work with farmers for Amaravati land acquisition, says MAUD minister Narayana
NELLORE: Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister Dr P Narayana said the government will work closely with farmers to acquire additional land needed for Amaravatis development, ensuring justice and fair compensation. He emphasised that acquiring land is crucial for major projects such as an international airport, Smart City, and Sports City planned for the State Capital. Speaking after inaugurating the newly renovated Ambedkar Park in Rayapalem of Nellore city on Saturday, Narayana stressed that further development is essential to enhance land values and attract investments in Amaravati. Pollution-free industries, he said, are key to sustainable economic growth, and industrialists would only invest if there are proper transportation and connectivity facilities. Highlighting the proactive measures being taken by the coalition government, Narayana said Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is committed to ensuring Amaravati evolves into a hub for industries and urban infrastructure. On the occasion, the MAUD minister criticised the previous YSRCP government for stalling development works and credited the current administration with systematically reviving projects. Parks, central dividers, canals, and schools are being developed under the Green Corporation initiative, he said. Narayana detailed that under the master plan, 46 parks and 54 schools in Nellore are being equipped with play areas and gym equipment. He also mentioned the development of the playground at the Government Polytechnic College and said similar activities would be carried out across all urban areas. Addressing civic amenities, Narayana said under the NTR Sujala Sravanthi scheme, citizens are being provided 20 litres of drinking water for just Rs 2.

Delhi NEET Aspirant Who Died In Kota Had Refused To Sit For Exam This Year
The man and his wife had been in the city just a few days ago to take his NEET-aspirant son back home, but he had refused.
NEET aspirant from Delhi found dead in Kota refused to sit for May 4 exam, wanted 1 more year
KOTA: Ranjit Sharma, a carpenter in Delhi's Tuglakabad, sobbed uncontrollably outside the mortuary of a hospital here as he waited to claim his son's body. The man and his wife had been in the city just a few days ago to take his NEET-aspirant son back home, but he had refused. According to the parents, Roshan Sharma (23) had abruptly told them just a few weeks before the May 4 NEET-UG exam that he would not appear for it this year. Just three days after they had left for Delhi, the body of their son was retrieved from the bushes near a railway track here early on Thursday with a preliminary police probe indicating that he had consumed a poisonous substance. In between sobs, Ranjit Sharma said his son had been preparing for NEET for the past three years and had recently confided with his sister that he needed another year to get fully ready for the prestigious medical entrance exam. Our son was studious, scoring 550-600 marks in routine tests at the coaching institute, he claimed on Friday, struggling to wrap around his head the reason for the suicide just days before the exam. The perfect score for the NEET-UG exam is 720. This is the 12th case of suspected student suicide since January in the city, considered the country's hub for competitive exam coaching. Last year, the city reported 17 suicides by aspirants. According to Roshan's parents, he had himself decided to join a coaching institute in Kota and jumped to another institute in the city just after a year. Ranjit Sharma told that they came to Kota on April 22 to take their son back to home, but he refused. When their son couldn't be found in his hostel they contacted him over phone, only to be told that neither would he sit for the NEET exam this year nor return home. They returned home with his belongings, hoping he would follow them. When that didn't happen, the distraught parents kept calling their son, urging him to return home. Roshan had also shared with his sister over the phone that he wanted a year more to prepare for NEET, he added. The police handed over Roshan's body to the family after post-mortem on Friday and lodged a case under section BNSS Section 194 (A) (enquiry on suicide) for investigation, Circle Inspector at Kunhadi police station Arvind Bhardwaj said. The parents have not levelled any allegation, he added. This was the second case of suspected suicide reported within 48 hours in the coaching city which has been under critical lens for the past few years for high rates of suicides among competitive exam aspirants, often attributed to them not coping well with the pressure of studies and high expectations from their families. On April 22, an 18-year-old NEET aspirant from Bihar allegedly hanged himself to death in his hostel room. In a note, the student said neither his family nor his preparation for NEET-UG was the reason behind his extreme step, police had said.
