A tribute to former CM Rosaiah on third death anniversary

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy honored the memory of former Chief Minister K Rosaiah on his third death anniversary, praising his discipline, statesmanship, and extensive public service spanning over five decades.

Speaking at a commemorative event at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), Madhapur, Reddy highlighted Rosaiah’s exceptional contributions, particularly as the Finance Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, where his fiscal management left Telangana with a surplus budget of ₹16,000 crore at its formation.

On the third death anniversary of former Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, we remember a leader whose unparalleled dedication and statesmanship left an indelible mark on both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Rosaiah’s legacy is one of wisdom, integrity, and selfless service to the people, earning him respect across political lines and enduring admiration in both Telugu states.

Rosaiah served in various crucial roles, including Finance Minister, Chief Minister, and Governor, throughout a remarkable political career that spanned over five decades. His tenure as Finance Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh was particularly noteworthy for his fiscal prudence, leaving the state in a position of financial stability. At the time of Telangana’s formation, Rosaiah’s leadership had ensured that the state inherited a surplus budget of ₹16,000 crore, which contributed to laying the foundation for its prosperous future.

As the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Rosaiah exhibited an unflinching commitment to public service and governance. Despite never aspiring for the top position, he was entrusted with the role during a critical phase, which he handled with dignity and resolve. Rosaiah’s calm and composed demeanor earned him the respect of his colleagues and opponents alike. His tenure as Governor of Tamil Nadu was marked by exemplary service, devoid of controversy, something rare for a leader in such a high office.

Beyond his administrative achievements, Rosaiah was a mentor to many, known for his guidance and encouragement. His dedication to uplifting others, particularly in the political arena, was a testament to his belief in the power of education and knowledge. He believed in the importance of debate, discourse, and constructive criticism within democratic systems, always striving to uphold the dignity of the legislative body.

Rosaiah’s humility, integrity, and unwavering commitment to his principles were a beacon of inspiration to all who worked with him. His political acumen, steady hand in governance, and ability to navigate the complexities of statecraft are qualities that continue to inspire future generations.

As we remember K. Rosaiah, we honor not only his service but also the values he embodied—a leader who never sought power for its own sake but instead used it to serve the people with honor and dedication. His legacy remains a guiding light for the people of Telangana and beyond, a true statesman whose contributions will never be forgotten.

Clay Ganesha

Environmental concerns: PoP idols take years to dissolve in water and harm aquatic life. Clay idols, on the other hand, are biodegradable and dissolve quickly.
Water pollution: Immersion of PoP idols in water bodies leads to increased acidity and heavy metal content, harming aquatic life.
Promoting sustainability: Clay Ganesha awareness encourages the use of natural, eco-friendly materials, reducing waste and pollution.
Preserving traditional craftsmanship: Clay idol-making supports local artisans and preserves traditional craftsmanship.
Raising awareness: Initiatives and campaigns educate people about the environmental impact of their choices and promote a shift towards eco-friendly practices.

By choosing clay Ganesha idols, we can celebrate the festival in a more sustainable and environmentally conscious way!

Microsoft buys land in Hyderabad for Rs 267 cr to build data centre

Microsoft Corporation recently acquired 48 acres of land in Hyderabad for a deal valued at approximately Rs 267 crore.

The property was purchased from the land aggregator, Sai Balaji Developers, located in Ranga Reddy district, as per the document shared by Propstack, a data analytics firm.

“Microsoft has big plans to expand its data centre business and will be developing one of the biggest data centres in the region. The property is located about forty kilometers from the main city of Hyderabad, and the company paid a premium on the land,” said a person aware of the deal.

Microsoft’s Hyderabad data centre region is an addition to its existing network of three regions in India – Pune, Mumbai, and Chennai – which have been operational for the past five years.

“Microsoft had also acquired two more land parcels in Hyderabad for the data centre business,” he said.

In a response to an query, Microsft said “We have no information to share at this time.”

Microsoft currently operates an India Development Centre (IDC) out of Hyderabad spread over 54-acre apart from Bengaluru and Noida. The IDC has played a pivotal role in the development and progression of Microsoft’s technological offerings, such as Azure, Windows, Office, and Bing.

Separately, over the past two years, the organisation has been increasing its presence in the flexible office space segment throughout the country.

Market leadership stays with PSUs; stay invested as the best is yet to come: Ramesh Damani

Ramesh Damani, Member of BSE, believes that the best time to invest in India is today, as the country is experiencing growth and development. He has always identified mega trends, such as cement shares and liberalization trends, and has been able to spot leadership in these bull markets.

The middle class, which started in England in the 18th-19th century, is shaping the world today, with 4 to 5 billion people in India. This middle class is defined as having a PPP purchasing power parity of about $12 per day, significantly above the poverty level of $2 a day. As India’s per capita has gone over $2,500, the middle class is demanding action on issues such as climate change, travel, education, and living standards.

There is much to be right in the market, with a significant fall in the last few days and the addition of 13 crore demat accounts in India. However, there is also a lesson to understand the difference between risk and volatility in the market. Risk is the choice of permanent loss of capital, while volatility is what happened yesterday and what will happen the day before yesterday.

The next 2,000 points on the Sensex can be up and down, but Damani believes that the next 20,000 points will be higher due to the unfolding demographics, digitization, and democracy taking root in India. There is a lot to be thankful for and looking forward to being optimistic over the next few years rather than being pessimistic.

Damani is fully invested in the market, with a focus on public sector stocks and the Modi government’s efforts to turn around the public sector. The debate over privatizing PSUs or unlocking value has receded, and companies should be well managed.

Praja Palana Scheme, Telangana Dec 28 to Jan 6

The Telangana Chief Minister unveiled the ‘Praja Palana’ logo and application form in the presence of his cabinet colleagues at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat in Hyderabad on December 27, 2023.

The stage is set for the launch of Praja Palana, taking the government to the doorsteps of the people, on Thursday. The program has been conceived as people, especially those from remote and far-flung areas, are experiencing difficulties in meeting officials to represent their grievances and seek their redressal. The Telangana government has decided to reach out to the helpless and extend help to them through Praja Palana.

According to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the government was not available to the people in the last 10 years, and the governance had not reached them. The hardships people faced in submitting their grievances could be seen from the huge number of applications received during the Praja Vani program, prompting the government to take governance to the people, thus avoiding the scope for difficulties in representing their problems.

Committed to the above principles, objectives LETS VOTE seek your active support and participation in this movement of Democracy.

Problems

India, the world’s largest democracy, unfortunately, failed time and again as most of the citizens shied away from using their vote appropriately. We, the educated citizens of the country believe in the power of voting to drive extraordinary social and economic change. There is a great potential for people to use their vote to improve their livelihoods, but it must be properly harnessed – incorporated into each community’s social, cultural, historic, economic and political context.

Human development is about people: their desire and struggle to uphold their dignity, expand their freedoms and lead lives that they value. In this quest, choosing the right team to lead plays a key role; people work to earn their livelihood, improve their lifestyle and infrastructure, ensure safety and security, create relevant future-oriented institutions and governance in the complex circumstances that poverty, alienation, and voicelessness create.

Given this backdrop, “Let’s Vote” initiative is being launched to help the citizens of our resource-rich nation to find their voice, exercise their right, thus enabling them access the resources that contribute to positive development outcomes.

To help build this India, we:

Engage and educate Professionals: We need a passionate, pragmatic, energetic and thoughtful member base. We mobilize the energy of educated indians, educate them about development issues, and encourage them to play an active role supporting development. By doing so, we develop educated indians into leaders committed to development and global sustainability.
Reach out to all Professionals: We build awareness among our fellow Professionals of ‘exercising their vote’ and thus ensuring development and global sustainability, and we link these issues to actions people can take here in India that promote human development within and around the world.
