Student suicide: Telangana govt derecognises Sri Chaitanya College

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Acting tough on the suicide of an intermediate student, the Telangana government on Monday cancelled affiliation of a corporate junior college where the deceased was studying.
The Board of Intermediate Education announced the cancellation of affiliation of Sri Chaitanya College, Narsingi, where 16-year-old Satwik hanged himself due to harassment by the principal, teacher and others. The order will come into effect from next academic year.
The intermediate first-year (Class 11) student hanged himself in the classroom after study hours on the night of February 28.
In a suicide note, the student wrote that he was taking the extreme step due to mental torture by the principal and three others.
Based on the suicide letter and a complaint lodged by the student’s parents, police arrested principal (Administration) Akalanakam Narasimha Chary, principal Tiyyaguru Siva Ramakrishna Reddy, warden Kandaraboina Naresh, and vice principal Vontela Shoban Babu. They were sent to judicial custody.
Police have charged the four with harassment and insulting the victim in the name of studies, thereby forcing him to take the extreme step.
Police in its remand report stated that the principal and others used insulting words and even beat up Satwaik in front of other students, making him mentally upset. On the day when the student died by suicide, his parents had come to the college to meet him. After they left, Chary and Ramakrishna Reddy used foul language.
Meanwhile, the education department on Monday held a meeting with representatives of various private colleges to discuss ways to prevent such incidents. The Board of Intermediate Education decided to constitute a committee to control misleading advertisements by the colleges.

The officials also announced that action will be taken against the colleges conducting classes beyond the fixed hours. Board of Intermediate Education Secretary Sunil Mittal said that the biometric system will be implemented next academic year.

Fake investment declarations bring no jobs, Nara Lokesh takes a dig at AP govt

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) general secretary Nara Lokesh on Monday said fake investments declarations will bring no jobs to the people of Andhra Pradesh. He was referring to the chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s recent announcement of investment proposals worth Rs 13 lakh crore at the Global Investors Summit (GIS).
Jagan on Friday said the state has received investment proposals worth Rs 13 lakh crore with an employment opportunity for six lakh people.
Lokesh accused the Andhra Pradesh government of deceiving the people by re-announcing old investment deals at the recently held Global Investors Summit with companies like Aurobindo, Greenko and Adani.
Speaking to the media at Vepulabayalu in Annamayya district, Lokesh said, “On forging any deal, governments openly declare all the details. During Chandrababu Naidu’s regime all information regarding investments and deals was exhibited online.”
“The YSRCP-led government is not showcasing any MoUs, agreements, deals, endorsements from the companies on documents,” Lokesh said, adding that the government and the companies have exchanged MoUs in “non-paper format only.”
He claimed that the company Indosol began with an initial investment of Rs 1 lakh but the company announced investments worth Rs 76,000 crore in the state.
“All the directors of the company are from Pulivendula,” said Lokesh about Indosol. “Jagan is offering 25,000 acres of land to this company. Another company, ACB, with a turnover of Rs 120 crores that employs 250 people has promised an investment of Rs 1.2 lakh crores. How can we believe it?” he questioned.
Speaking about the absence of Andhra Pradesh at WEF 2023 summit in Davos, he said, “Jagan conveniently missed the World Economic Forum in 2023. Can any aspiring state afford to miss a forum like WEF?”

On investment opportunities created by the TDP government, Lokesh said, “Between 2014 and 2019, we established a plethora of industries. Speaking in the Assembly, the late Mekapati Goutham Reddy said that 39,450 industries were established between 2014 and 2019 by the erstwhile TDP government, creating 5,13,350 jobs.”

JKNC slams JK govt for hiring blacklisted, ‘tainted’ APTECH company to conduct JKSSB exams

[ad_1]
Says the decision will not inspire confidence of aspirants in such public examinations
Srinagar, Mar 6 (GNS): The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference State Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar on Monday slammed the government on selection and the award of contract to ‘tainted’ and blacklisted APTECH Company for conducting the upcoming Jammu Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) exam(s).
Echoing the public rage over the decision, Imran, as per GNS, said “The Company has been penalized by the Supreme Court and is on the blocklists of various states including Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. In J&K also the company was accused of blatant irregularities and violations of the law in altering the tender’s terms and conditions. Why is such a company being selected which has consistently failed to provide transparency and accountability in conducting such an exercise? This question begs to be answered. The board instead of addressing the genuine concerns and fear of the educated, skilled local youth seems hell bent on destroying their future. Such an undue decision doesn’t inspire confidence of aspirants in such public examinations.”
In the first place the company shouldn’t have been allowed to compete in the tendering process. “Commercial interest should never outweigh the public interest. As is happening in this case. There is every likelihood of biasness, favouritism and unfairness in the said process. I hope the incumbent LG administration will refrain from letting the company conduct public examinations which require a high degree of secrecy/fairness as the future of aspirants would depend upon such examinations.”
It goes without saying that there is a major scam at work, he said, “Despite J&K high court’s questioning the awarding of the contract to APTECH, the assigning of the contract to the same company doesn’t stand any reason. I also request the honourable high court to take Suo moto cognizance of the issues in the public interest.” (GNS)
