Hyderabad: 3,000 Secure Jobs on Spot at Swadeshi Mela

Hello Hyderabad: The Swadeshi Mela, jointly organised by Swadeshi Jagaran Manch and Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyan, was inaugurated on Wednesday at People’s Plaza in Hyderabad. The event also hosted the Swadeshi Job Mela which will run until October 27.

The ceremony began with Governor Jishnu Dev Varma cutting the ribbon to officially open the event. Addressing the gathering, Governor Varma shared his thoughts on Swadeshi, calling it more than an economic policy but a guiding principle for India’s journey towards self-reliance. “Swadeshi has a deep connection with India’s identity, and the nation’s progress, from the freedom movement to the present-day goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India),” the Governor said. He also admired the organizers for their efforts to promote local artisans, producers and businesses through events like Swadeshi Mela.

C. A. R. Sundaram, national convener of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, echoed the Governor’s sentiments, noting that the “Vocal for Local” initiative has turned Swadeshi into a national movement. He noted how such platforms allow people to appreciate the beauty of local goods and foster economic growth across states. Sundaram pointed out that the Manch continues to advise the government on policies that affect Indian entrepreneurs globally.

The fair hosts 334 stalls representing states like Kashmir, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, and with food stalls included, the total count exceeds 400. The offerings range from Khadi India products to tribes India by the ministry of tribal affairs. From cotton blouses from Bengal to traditional wooden Etikoppaka and Kondapalli toys.

Also present were individuals like Yashwitha Reddy who had an impressive collection of sarees featuring hand-painted artworks and woven designs. “I work on these with my mother-in-law who has been doing this for 30 years. I only began helping her last year,” she shared. Her stall also featured children’s clothes, dupattas and kurtas with similar handcrafted artistry. The sarees, adorned with intricate Madhubani-inspired paintings stood out.

The Swadeshi Job Mela attracted over 16,572 candidates, with 3,000 having secured jobs on the spot. Governor Varma personally distributed offer letters to successful candidates while another 4,500 advanced to the next round of interviews. The jobs were offered by 142 companies, including Cognizant, Tech Mahindra and Genpact with salary packages ranging from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh per annum. Among the dignitaries present were Harish Babu, state convener of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch Telangana, Madhuram Reddy, chairman of Gangothri Developers and G. Ramesh Goud, state convener of Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyan.

Clay Ganesha

  1. 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.
  2. Water pollution: Immersion of PoP idols in water bodies leads to increased acidity and heavy metal content, harming aquatic life.
  3. Promoting sustainability: Clay Ganesha awareness encourages the use of natural, eco-friendly materials, reducing waste and pollution.
  4. Preserving traditional craftsmanship: Clay idol-making supports local artisans and preserves traditional craftsmanship.
  5. 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 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

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.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vDXzD3X3tOShihcjEK7Q7qBJ-HkYhERq/preview

We use a people-first approach. We understand that development is a people-centric process, and that voting is a means, not an end, to choosing the right team. We want to focus on the significance of ‘casting one’s vote’ and its role in enabling society and spur growth and development.

Some of our activities include:

  • Sensitising the eligible urban citizens to go for e-registration for obtaining EPIC
  • Helping in establishing e-registration counters and providing them necessary guidance
  • Conducting voter awareness camps, meetings, rallies etc.,

We seek to work on unbiased, nonpartisan basis without moving into the arena of any preferred political leanings, thus leaving the choice of which party or candidate to vote to, to the educated Indian, as is expected in our democratic process.

LETS VOTE signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Election Commission on 7th June 2010 for a. assisting CEO in taking up voter awareness program in completely non-partisan manner; b. Initiating advocacy programs with corporate houses & other institutes to facilitate voter registration; c. Lending technical support to office of CEO and d. to support various participate initiatives to make electoral process more effective.

LETS VOTE received National Award from Election Commission of India in 2015 as Best Civic Society Organization for its contributions for sensitizing citizens especially professionals and educated urban population to enroll and cast their vote through awareness activities and enrollment drives during 2014 elections.

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.

Vision

“Let’s Vote” envisions a responsive, and responsible society exercising their right to vote, thereby electing an accountable team to lead and govern.

Mission

“Let’s Vote” promotes societal development and positive nation building through sensitizing professionals to cast their vote.
