YSRCP again demands Lokesh's resignation over DSC scam
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 7 (IANS) YSR Congress Party on Monday reiterated its demand for the resignation of Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh, claiming that more and more evidence is coming out with every passing day in the alleged DSC exam. YSRCP State Coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told media persons that with new evidence surfacing every passing day and the cover-up bid of the coalition turning meek and weak, Lokesh should quit his post instead of asking officials to give rejoinders. It seems that the DSC was conducted in a manner that teacher posts were on the offer for price, and the government defence has been shrinking with new evidence coming out, he said. All fingers are pointing towards Lokesh in the DSC, and he is to blame for the irregularities, and he cannot shirk responsibility, he said. If there is a scam, someone should take responsibility, and how can we believe that there will be a fair inquiry unless it is by a Central agency, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said. He alleged that the coalition government has been gagging the media that has been exposing the DSC scam by blocking the social media handles in an unjust manner. The irregularities are glaring in the sports quota appointments, and the government is running for cover from the pointed questions, backed by data, being raised by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he said. The YSRCP leader said that while gold medalists do not get jobs, people with participation certificates have been given jobs and the issuance and cancellation of GOs after the purpose is served further strengthen the fact that there are irregularities in the DSC. There are allegations that there have been paper leaks and the topper had access to the question bank, and his name was deleted from the merit list when the issue came into the open, he said. Lokesh, who has been talking tall on the issue, should have answered our questions in the Council, and why did he run away from facing the YSRCP, he asked. He alleged that Chandrababu is trying to shield his son from the issue, which is the reason why only officials are coming out to speak and not the concerned minister, he said and demanded the resignation of the Education Minister.

Telugu YouTuber detained at Hyderabad airport over alleged UK job fraud
Hyderabad, Sep 7 (IANS) Popular Telugu YouTuber Ramana Nandana was detained by police at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here on Monday over alleged job fraud in the United Kingdom. The RGIA police detained the UK-based YouTuber following lookout notices issued against her after a case was registered in Andhra Pradesh. Nandana, who is known for her channel Nanadus World , and her husband Jagarlamudi Madhukar allegedly collected large sums of money by promising jobs in London. A fraud case was registered against Nandana, Madhukar, and his father Mohan Rao at the Ibrahimpatnam Police Station in Andhra Pradesh's NTR district. The RGIA police are likely to hand over the YouTuber to Ibrahimpatnam Police later in the day. The case at Ibrahimpatnam Police Station was registered on a complaint by Mamillapalli Sivakranthi Kumar, a UK resident. The complainant alleged that he transferred Rs 15 lakh in multiple instalments to bank accounts linked to Destiny Consultancy, allegedly connected to Madhukar and Nandana, to secure a UK visa extension, employment assistance, and a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). The complainant told police the promised visa services never materialised and a supplied CoS document turned out to be fraudulent. He stated that only Rs 2 lakh was refunded after repeated demands. The FIR names Jagarlamudi Madhukar as accused number one, Rama Nandana as accused number two, and Mohan Rao as accused number three. They have been booked under charges of cheating and fraud. A Lookout Circular (LOC) was issued for the trio, leading to Nandana's detention upon arrival at the airport. Nandana has already issued a public video statement denying all allegations, stating that neither she nor her husband owns or runs the consultancy. She alleged that their names were misused and attributed the claims to a targeted smear campaign stemming from personal disputes. The couple also moved the High Court seeking to quash the FIR. Nandana had a special cameo appearance in Megastar Chiranjeevi's film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu along with Nayanatara, which was released in January 2026.

Promoting educationacross country
KVs And JNVs are the two bAt primary and the secondary stages Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Jawahar Navodya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are two well known names in the realm of education at central government level in India. Lakhs of students are studying in these central schools. Government of India approved the scheme of KVs in November, 1962 on the recommendations of the 2nd Central Pay Commission which suggested that Government should prepare a scheme to provide uninterrupted education to the wards of the transferrable Central Government employees. The scheme came into existence in 1963. The founder of JNV scheme is Late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India, who established JNV in 1986. It is a network of Government of India run schools specifically crafted to offer quality education to the underprivileged rural talented students. Though both these centrally administered prominent educational institutions have a common objective of providing quality education to children regardless of their socio-economic background yet they vary in their approaches and focus to achieve the end result briefly described as follows. KVs:- It is one of the worlds largest chain of such schools and the largest one in India. KVs provide a common syllabus and methodology of imparting education and are meant to ensure that children of central government employees do not face educational disadvantages when their parents are transferred from one place to another place of posting. KVs make the education comparatively affordable as fee is generally much less than private schools. They focus more on the mainstream academics. They have stronger emphasis on military type discipline and training with career in defence requirements. Extracurricular activities are relatively vast. They adopt National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum and are affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). All the schools are co-educational and offer classes from 1st to 12th and emphasize a structured teaching role in urban areas . The medium of instruction is primarily Hindi and English. They offer a wide range of subjects like English, Hindi, Science, Sanskrit, Work Experience, Arts, Social Studies, Maths, Physical and Health Education etc. For opening a new KV school 2.5 acres of land are required. JNVs:- JNVs too adopt NCERT curriculum and are affiliated to CBSE. They provide residential quality education to the talented students from class 6th class to 12th class. They lay stress on grooming meritorious students from rural areas. Linked to merit based entrance test they are marked for academic brilliance and a peculiar atmosphere offered for otherwise disadvantaged children and that is further substantiated by their performance at Board examinations. Their extracurricular activities are comparatively limited. However, JNV has a more competitive environment due to availability of limited number of seats as compared to KVs. JNVs provide a common core curriculum and ensure comparability in standards to facilitate understand the common and composite culture & civilization of people. For getting admission in JNV a candidate must be between the age group of 13-15 years on 1st May of the year of admission. The selection test is conducted by CBSE which is called Jawahar Navodya Vidyalaya Selection Test. Each JNV is a co-educational residential institution giving free boarding and lodging, text books, school uniforms, to and fro bus/rail fare and stationery to the inmates. Both KVs and JNVs under the aegis of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, hold recruitment examinations for teaching and non-teaching purposes across the country for various posts of trained graduate teachers, post graduate teachers, primary teachers and non-teaching posts thus creating employment for thousands of youth and livelihood for lakhs of people. On 6/12/2024 the Union Cabinet sanctioned 85 new KVs and 28 new JNVs at an approved outlay of Rs.8,231 crore for establishing these schools. Jammu and Kashmir will have the highest number of 13 new KVs while Arunachal Pradesh will receive the highest number of 18 new JNVs. These are in addition to the currently functional 1,256 KVs and 653 JNVs making a total of 1,341 and 681 respectively. Before these 50 new schools were approved by BJP Government in March 2019 and in February 2014 the UPA Government had sanctioned 54 schools just ahead of Lok Sabha elections. The 85 KVs will be established within a span of eight years commencing from 2025-26 while as 28 JNVs will be created during five years beginning from 2024-25. These schools are expected to create additional enrollment capacity for about 10,000 students with employment generation for nearly 6,600 new posts. The new KVs are spread across 19 States and Union Territories. The criterion behind the districts chosen for sanctioning new KVs has been clarified by a senior government official who said, New Kendriya Vidyalayas are created based on demand which means we usually establish a new school where there are at least 500 families of Central Government employees. For instance in Jammu & Kashmir a large number has been approved to cater to the families of the many CRPF personnel posted there. To give you another example, in Andhra Pradesh we have approved a KV in a district where the revenue department has started a new training institution. The official elaborated, As for the JNVs, a large number has been for three North-Eastern States-Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Manipur- a decision strategically aimed at opening more schools in border States of the region.Six JNVs were cleared for Assam and three for Manipur. These three States account for 17 of the new 28 JNVs. Although all these schools (54 of 2014 and 50 of 2019) have started functioning many are operating from temporary premises. So this time the Union Cabinet has decided that a new KV or new JNV shall not start functioning not even from temporary premises, unless the land for the permanent campus of the institutions has been transferred by the State Government or the Defence Ministry whichever is applicable in the case, the official said. This condition can be a barrier in achieving the ultimate goal of strengthening and spreading of education to the underprivileged youth within the targeted period and finance as acquisition or transfer of land takes time especially in case of JNVs where 30 acres of suitable land are required and which the State Government has to provide free of cost along with sufficient temporary accommodation to run the school till the completion of the Vidyalaya building. In view of paucity of land in places like Jammu & Kashmir, time required for construction of new buildings and economy in expenditure, it would be better to have vertical layers on the existing structures to achieve the targets within the stipulated time and at lesser expenditure.

Indian pharma sector must lead in research and development, new molecules, biotech: Piyush Goyal
New Delhi, Sep 6 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday said that India must build resilient, globally integrated healthcare supply chains, strengthen its position as a trusted healthcare partner of the world and move beyond its success in generics towards greater research, development and innovation. Addressing the Bharat Health Global Expo 2026 here, the minister said Indias pharmaceutical sector has a significant opportunity to showcase its capabilities to the world and that the country, known as the pharmacy of the world, must aim for a much bigger and better future. Highlighting the importance of resilience in supply chains, Goyal said that the world is increasingly looking for resilient supply chains and is not comfortable with excessive geographical dependence on one or two locations or with supply chains that could potentially be weaponised. He noted that India had earlier lost ground in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Key Starting Materials (KSMs) for a variety of reasons and said that it was now time to restore resilience in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Goyal further stated that pooling Indias demand would identify several products currently imported where there is potential for indigenous production. He added that countries across the world are now competing to attract investment and build resilience in their supply chains. The competition for investment is no longer limited to developing countries, with the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Europe and other developed economies also seeking to attract investments to their geographies. He said that India is, therefore, competing not only in goods and services but also with developed countries in attracting investment, making the task of strengthening Indias investment proposition even more important. Goyal noted that Indias success in generics has been built through the active and sustained efforts of the pharmaceutical industry. However, he said India cannot rest its case with generics if it aims to become a developed country by 2047. India must promote greater R&D, develop and patent its own products, and make use of programmes launched to support R&D and innovation. He added that the pharmaceutical sector should be at the forefront of R&D and leverage initiatives such as the Research and Development Innovation Fund (RDIF). He called for Indian companies, engineers and talent to focus on new molecules, biosimilars and biotechnology, which he said should become the next frontier for the sector. On infrastructure, Goyal said the government has been working to develop bulk drug parks, with projects coming up in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, including both old and new parks. He said that 100 new industrial parks are coming up where dedicated areas can be provided for the pharma and healthcare sector, if required. On Ayush, Shri Goyal said that it represents Indias traditional medicine and traditional wisdom, but India is still exporting raw herbs. He called for greater scientific validation of Ayush products so that they can gain wider acceptance globally, noting that the Government has already been working in this direction. The minister attended the Expo along with Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Jitin Prasada, and Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agarwal.

Search on for two missing youths in Veligonda feeder canal in Andhra
Amaravati, Sep 6 (IANS) Rescue teams continued the search for two youths who went missing in the Veligonda Project feeder canal in Andhra Pradesh's Markapuram district, officials said on Sunday. Minister for Water Resources Nimmala Ramanaidu on Sunday expressed shock over the disappearance of the two youths from Katakani Palle. He spoke to the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police (SP) regarding the incident. The minister ordered the officials to intensify search operations to locate the bodies of the youths. Ramanaidu stated that as the water flows rapidly in the feeder canal, no one should venture into the water. The public must remain vigilant, as the bed of Nallamala Sagar is uneven, making it difficult to gauge the depth at any given point, he said. He directed police and revenue officials to arrange for special security measures at the feeder canal and Nallamala Sagar. The incident in the Veligonda Project feeder canal occurred on Saturday evening. Two youths had gone to see the water in the feeder canal of the recently inaugurated project and entered the water. As one of them was getting swept away due to the strong flow, the other tried to save him, but in the process, both were washed away. The missing youths were identified as Koppala Raj Kumar and Kuppala Vinay Kumar, belonging to the same family. Alerted by the locals, police and firefighting personnel launched a search operation. The search operation was called off late in the evening due to darkness. Police and firefighting personnel, with the help of expert swimmers, resumed the search operation on Sunday morning.
