Operation Sindoor

24 Strikes in 25 Minutes: India Rains Hell on Terror Camps in Precision Operation Sindoor

New Delhi:
In the early hours of May 7, under the veil of darkness and the cloak of secrecy, India launched a blistering 25-minute assault that left nine terror camps decimated and at least 70 terrorists dead. The operation—codenamed Operation Sindoor—was jointly executed by the Indian Army and the Air Force, targeting strategic militant infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoJK).

The strikes, conducted between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM, involved the precise deployment of 24 missiles and marked one of the most significant counter-terror offensives in recent years.

A Calculated Response

At a press briefing in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, accompanied by Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, outlined the rationale behind the operation. The strike was described as a “measured and proportionate” response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, including that of a Nepali citizen.

“Our intelligence indicated that further attacks against India were impending,” said Misri. “India exercised its right to respond — measured, proportionate, and non-escalatory — to dismantle the infrastructure that enables cross-border terrorism.”

Colonel Qureshi emphasized that the operation reflected a strategic shift in India’s counter-terrorism doctrine.

“For three decades, Pakistan has been nurturing a shadow ecosystem of terror. This operation was intended to disrupt that network at its roots,” she stated.

Targets and Execution

The operation struck nine high-value terror hubs located in:

  • Pakistan-occupied Kashmir: Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Bhimber, Neelum Valley
  • Mainland Pakistan: Bahawalpur, Jhelum, Chakswari, Chakwal

These areas are long believed to house training camps, command posts, and launch pads used by terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) — both implicated in previous attacks on Indian soil.

The Bahawalpur strike was especially significant, as it targeted a known JeM headquarters. Muzaffarabad and Bhimber were reportedly used as infiltration and logistical nodes.

Firepower and Precision

Armed with a mix of ground-launched and air-launched missiles, India employed laser-guided and satellite-navigated munitions to ensure maximum precision with minimum collateral damage. Real-time UAV surveillance confirmed complete destruction of multiple targets, including:

  • Command centers
  • Arms depots
  • Training facilities
  • Terrorist staging grounds

A government source noted that no Pakistani military assets were targeted, underscoring the “non-escalatory” nature of the mission.

Aftermath and Impact

With 70 terrorists killed and more than 60 injured, Operation Sindoor has sent a strong message about India’s threshold for cross-border terrorism. Analysts say the operation reaffirms India’s growing reliance on intelligence-led, surgical tactics rather than prolonged engagement.

While Pakistan is yet to issue an official response, diplomatic channels are reportedly active. India’s External Affairs Ministry has briefed key global partners about the nature and necessity of the strikes.

Operation Sindoor stands as a stark reminder: terror has a cost, and India now has both the capability and the will to enforce it — swiftly, precisely, and unapologetically.

CSIR Labs to Host Major Start-Up Conclave in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, April 15 – In a significant move to highlight India’s growing biotech and health innovation ecosystem, three prestigious CSIR institutes — IICT, CCMB, and NGRI — will host a major start-up conclave on April 22 and 23 at the Zahir Memorial School in Habsiguda, Hyderabad. The two-day event, titled CSIR Start-Up Conclave, will witness participation from over 200 start-ups showcasing cutting-edge products and technologies across life sciences and public health.

These start-ups, nurtured by the CSIR labs, are transforming innovation into impact by addressing real-world healthcare challenges. Dr. Sudarshan Reddy, founder of Oncosimis and former CCMB scientist, emphasized the importance of institutional support for early-stage companies: “CCMB and IICT are nurturing places for new-born companies like ours. These institutes supported us right from the beginning.”

Oncosimis Biotech is developing low-cost pharmaceutical platforms, including novel monoclonal antibodies used in cancer therapy and mRNA-based vaccines. Meanwhile, innovations in animal health are also being promoted, with a focus on enhancing meat production in livestock using biologics.

Another notable start-up, Alithon, incubated at CCMB and IICT, is working on ultra-pure water solutions for dialysis, a sector currently lacking stringent regulations in India. Alithon has also expanded into international markets, including the US.

Pheezee, a med-tech venture by Startoon Labs, is another shining example of CSIR’s impact. Their portable devices for muscle and joint assessment have found applications in rehabilitation and physiotherapy. “It’s all about good people and a good network,” said Suresh Susurla, co-founder of Alithon.

This conclave will not only offer a platform for start-ups to connect with potential investors and partners but also serve as a testament to the success of public research institutions in fostering entrepreneurship.

With support from the Atal Incubation Centre and CSIR’s research prowess, the event is expected to catalyze further innovation and inspire a new generation of health-tech entrepreneurs.

HPS Begumpet Students Shine at Prestigious IIMUN Belgium Conference 2025

In a remarkable international accomplishment, two bright students from The Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet—Suhrudi Dyavanapalli (Grade 12) and PDV Sahruda (Grade 9)—proudly represented their school and country at the India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Conference held in Belgium from March 27 to April 2, 2025.

The prestigious conference brought together young changemakers from schools across India and Europe, including delegates from Belgium, Poland, and Germany, to deliberate on global issues and practice the art of diplomacy and debate.

A Grand Opening at the Heart of Europe

The IIMUN Conference commenced with a grand opening ceremony at the European Parliament Headquarters in Brussels, a venue symbolic of unity and collaboration. The atmosphere was charged with purpose and promise as dignitaries like Krišjānis Kariņš (former Prime Minister of Latvia), Ms. Hamisha Ahooja (Indian-Canadian filmmaker), and Mr. Bhaskar Bhushan (senior diplomat and education advocate) addressed the young delegates, encouraging them to become the voice of change in a rapidly evolving world.

Diplomacy in Action

Following the opening, committee sessions were hosted at the International School of Belgium, where students engaged in in-depth discussions on international issues. They honed essential skills such as public speaking, negotiation, resolution drafting, and collaborative problem-solving, all within the structured environment of the United Nations simulation.

Among the many accolades presented, PDV Sahruda stood out, receiving the High Commendation Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes both intellect and leadership in committee proceedings. Her ability to articulate perspectives and propose actionable resolutions earned her acclaim from peers and mentors alike.

A Cultural Journey Beyond the Conference

The IIMUN experience extended beyond debate rooms. As part of a carefully curated cultural immersion program, the students explored iconic landmarks such as the Atomium, the stunning city of Antwerp, the medieval charm of Ghent, and even the historic remnants of the Berlin Wall—each stop offering insights into Europe’s rich cultural and political heritage.

A Proud Moment for HPS Begumpet

Participation in such a globally significant event reflects the emphasis HPS Begumpet places on global exposure, leadership, and holistic education. The school continues to foster opportunities that allow its students to thrive on international platforms, preparing them to lead with empathy, awareness, and a global outlook.

Congratulations to Suhrudi Dyavanapalli and PDV Sahruda on this inspiring achievement. Your efforts have not only brought pride to your school but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for fellow students.

Bhu Bharathi: Telangana’s New Era of Land Governance

In a transformative move aimed at ensuring transparency, efficiency, and citizen-centric land administration, the Telangana government officially launched the Bhu Bharathi portal on April 14, 2025, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. This initiative replaces the controversial Dharani portal, which had faced criticism for lack of transparency and centralized control over land data.

What is Bhu Bharathi?

Bhu Bharathi is a comprehensive digital platform designed to modernize and streamline land records management in Telangana. The platform is built on the principles of accessibility, accountability, and accuracy, empowering both citizens and officials in handling land-related transactions and services.

Key Features of Bhu Bharathi

  • Unified Digital Land Services
     Bhu Bharathi offers a wide range of digital services, including:
    • Land registration and mutation
    • Filing appeals and revisions
    • Conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use
    • Access to encumbrance certificates and survey data
  • Strong Legal Framework
     The Bhu Bharathi Act introduces 19 new legal provisions to reinforce legal clarity and governance. These address gaps left by the Dharani system and ensure lawful and transparent land transactions.
  • Decentralized, People-Friendly Approach
     In contrast to the centralized Dharani model, Bhu Bharathi decentralizes processes, giving more power to local revenue officers and surveyors. This change is expected to reduce red tape, corruption, and errors.
  • Dedicated Human Resource Support
     The Telangana government plans to train 6,000 licensed surveyors to ensure accurate land measurements, dispute resolution, and faster processing of land records.

Why Bhu Bharathi Matters

Land is one of the most valuable and contested assets in India. By introducing Bhu Bharathi, the government aims to:

  • Curb fraudulent land transactions
  • Provide a transparent system for land ownership
  • Speed up real estate development
  • Strengthen rural and urban land infrastructure

It also acts as a confidence booster for investors and common citizens alike, offering a secure and legal framework for land dealings.

How to Access Bhu Bharathi

Citizens can visit the official portal at Bhu Bharathi to:

  • View land records
  • Apply for registrations or mutations
  • Track the status of applications
  • Get help with grievances or appeals

Conclusion

The launch of Bhu Bharathi marks a significant step forward in Telangana’s land governance. By combining technology with legal reforms, the portal is set to become a model for other Indian states looking to reform their land record systems. With transparency, accountability, and citizen empowerment at its core, Bhu Bharathi promises a more inclusive and just land ecosystem.

Telangana Aims to Train 2 Lakh AI Engineers, Says Minister Sridhar Babu

Hyderabad: In a bold push toward becoming a tech-forward state, the Telangana government has announced plans to train two lakh Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers, according to State IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu.

The announcement came during a courtesy visit by a Singaporean delegation led by Consul General Edgar Pang to the Minister at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Secretariat on Monday. Highlighting Telangana’s vision for the future, Sridhar Babu outlined several key initiatives aimed at making the state a hub for cutting-edge technologies.

Central to this vision is the development of a ‘Future City’ designed to meet global standards, which will also house an AI University. The Minister revealed that multiple international organizations have shown keen interest in collaborating on the Future City project.

“Hyderabad is rapidly emerging as a key center for Global Capability Centers (GCCs),” he noted, pointing out that in the past year alone, around 70 GCCs in sectors like IT and hospitality have set up operations in the city.

In addition to boosting the tech ecosystem, the Minister stressed the government’s focus on balanced industrial development. He shared that efforts are underway to promote industrial growth beyond Hyderabad, with cities like Warangal and Karimnagar identified as promising hubs.

Calling for stronger international cooperation, Sridhar Babu encouraged the visiting delegation to help spread awareness among industrialists about the investment potential in Telangana. He reaffirmed the state’s readiness to collaborate with the Singapore government in areas such as technology, skill development, and more.

The Singapore delegation included Consul Vaishnavi Vasudevan, First Secretary (Economic) Vivek Raghu Raman, and Denis Tam, Regional Director (India – South) of Enterprise Singapore.

Telangana’s Gurukul Schools to Introduce Coding Lessons from 2025-2026

Hyderabad: In a major step towards digital empowerment, Telangana’s Gurukul schools will begin offering coding classes to students from Class VI through Intermediate starting in the 2025-26 academic year. The initiative will be rolled out across all 238 schools under the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS), which announced the decision on Monday.

Following a successful pilot program at a school in Moinabad, TGSWREIS decided to expand the initiative statewide. The United Kingdom-based Raspberry Pi Foundation will support the five-year rollout, and a memorandum of understanding has been signed to formalize the partnership.

Under this initiative, students will be introduced to computing as a core subject, receiving two hours of classroom instruction and two hours of project-based work each week. In its first year, approximately 1.5 lakh students are expected to participate.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation will assist in designing the curriculum, training educators, and evaluating the program’s progress. The syllabus will align with international standards, covering areas such as coding, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and digital tools. Printed textbooks will be provided, and students will undergo regular assessments. Certificates will be awarded based on their performance.

Students showing exceptional interest and aptitude will be given opportunities for advanced learning. Each year, around 250 students will be selected to work on practical tech projects, which will be showcased online to attract the attention of companies seeking young talent. Promising students may be offered job placements.

Additionally, each school will designate five student mentors to support peer learning, creating a network of over 1,000 student mentors reaching nearly 90,000 learners.

To facilitate the program, TGSWREIS is upgrading school infrastructure, including the development of computer labs and installation of digital classroom equipment.

Dr. V.S. Alagu Varshini, Secretary of TGSWREIS, said the program aims to equip students with essential digital skills and prepare them for future career opportunities in the tech-driven world.

Eli Lilly Expands in India: CEO Invites Job Seekers for Hyderabad Tech Hub

Global pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is strengthening its presence in India with a brand-new technology center in Hyderabad. Expected to be operational by mid-2025, the Hyderabad hub will be the company’s second capability center in the country, following the successful launch of its Bengaluru hub in 2016.

Hiring in Full Swing for Hyderabad Tech Hub

Eli Lilly’s CEO, David Ricks, recently spoke to CNBC-TV18, confirming that recruitment is already underway for the Lilly Capability Center India (LCCI) in Hyderabad. “We also have a tech hub in Bengaluru, but we’re expanding that in Hyderabad with a new tech center. We’re out hiring now,” Ricks stated, encouraging skilled professionals—especially technology engineers and data scientists—to apply.

In January, Eli Lilly announced its ambitious hiring plans, aiming to recruit between 1,000 and 1,500 professionals. India has been a key player in the company’s global research and development (R&D) operations, particularly through its Bengaluru center, which operates on a “follow the sun” model. This approach allows Indian teams to seamlessly take over projects from their US counterparts overnight, ensuring continuous progress in research and accelerating drug development.

Manufacturing Plans for Blockbuster Drug Mounjaro?

Beyond technology and R&D, speculation is growing about Eli Lilly’s manufacturing plans for its highly sought-after diabetes and weight-loss drug, Mounjaro (tirzepatide). When asked about the possibility of local production, Ricks remained open to the idea. “There’s a lot of discussion about localizing or regionalizing supply chains, and as India grows as a market for us—Mounjaro may change that. We’re open-minded about possibilities here,” he said.

Eli Lilly officially launched Mounjaro in India on March 21, after its initial introduction in the US in December 2023. The drug, already available in the UK and Europe under the same name, is marketed as Zepbound in the US for obesity treatment. Touted as a game-changer in the fight against diabetes and obesity, Mounjaro’s entry into the Indian market could significantly impact healthcare accessibility and treatment options.

Opportunities Await in Hyderabad

With Eli Lilly’s Hyderabad tech hub on track for a mid-2025 launch and hiring in full swing, this is an exciting time for job seekers in the tech and pharma sectors. The company’s investment in India highlights its commitment to innovation, global collaboration, and cutting-edge research.
