[ad_1]
Hyderabad: To encourage start-ups and MSMEs in the robotics industry, Telangana State Robotics Framework was launched by the state IT minister KT Rama Rao at T-Hub on Tuesday.
KTR said that Telangana has been at the forefront of adopting the latest technology, emerging as a pioneer of technological innovation to improve the lives of citizens.
Speaking after launching the TS Robotics Framework (TSRF), the minister held that the state government aims at creating a world-class robotics ecosystem and making the state a global hub for robotics design, testing and manufacturing.

The TSRF will work on five key pillars, infrastructure access, business facilitation, research and innovation, skill development, and responsible deployment.
To encourage start-ups and MSMEs in the robotics industry, Telangana will provide incentives similar to those outlined in the State Innovation Policy, ICT Policy, and Electronics Policy.
“Saagu Baagu project in association with the world economic forum is a classic example of leveraging artificial innovation for agricultural innovation in Telangana,” said KTR.
Talking about eight technologies adopted by the state in 2017, KTR said that the Telangana government always focused on entrepreneurship, capacity building, research and development.
Attributing the development to chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s vision, KTR said that as a government, they have followed a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) framework to reach out to the common man.

“Five actionable policies have been released under the PPP model on AI, cloud, etc to accelerate growth in the centre,” said KTR.
“To establish a partnership, five centres of excellence have been set up along with Nasscom, World Economic Forum, and III-T have been set up,” added KTR.
He stated that, in relation to the project, population-scale projects across, agriculture, environment, healthcare, transportation, and forest have been implemented to impact development closely.
Claiming robotics to be much more than automating tasks, KTR said that the tools can be used for unlocking new levels of productivity, and creativity to improve safety, and innovation in several fields including the field of healthcare.
“It is interesting to see how quickly young generations adapt to technology,” said KTR adding that globally, robotics has seen an increase in demand, with 3-fold multiplication in the use of robots, according to the world robotics report.
“India stands at 10 positions and should come in the top five in using the technology in the next decade,” visioned KTR.
Inviting investments, KTR said that the holistic policy adopted by Telangana is a shining example that the state reflects in bringing about positive and innovative changes.
Stating that technology can transform lives for the better, KTR said that the government has set up a separate body to support T-Hub, WEHub, T-Works, TS Innovation Cell, Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge and Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad for taking research to the market.
TRIC will work with the existing centres of excellence in artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, cybersecurity, and e-waste apart from collaborating with industry, academia, and incubators for creating new opportunities for economic growth and job creation.

Priyanka Gandhi’s Telangana visit: KTR calls her ‘political tourist’

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Terming Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi as a political tourist, Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) working president and minister KT Rama Rao said that politicians who are unemployed are provoking the youth of Telangana.
He said that the parties which did not work for the welfare of people while in power are now “preaching the state governments like Telangana which consistently ranked high in performance”.
Responding to Priyanka Gandhi’s Telangana visit for a political rally on youth issues, the BRS working president reminded her of the ‘decades-long history of failures of Congress Party’.
KTR criticized Congress for ‘exploiting’ youth, and employment issues solely for its politics. He said that the country would not have experienced an ‘unemployment crisis’ if Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced employment policy and worked like BRS. The Minister said that the Telangana government under the leadership of chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao provided employment to 2.2 lakh youth in the government and 22 lakh youth in the private sector.
The Minister said that Congress was at the ‘end of its wits’ as it was away from power for the past 10 years. He cited this as the reason for the ‘political unemployees’ of Congress trying to provoke the youth of Telangana.
Asserting that they will not be successful in the ‘vicious’ attempts, he asked them to compare the number of posts filled by Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh and by the Telangana government after formation of the state. He reminded about the ‘bitter experiences and injustice’ done to Telangana youth in interviews even after clearing written exams with merit.
He demanded Priyanka Gandhi apologize on behalf of the Congress party for taking the lives of hundreds of Telangana youth during the separate Telangana movement, by delaying the formation of the state for their political gains. KTR said that even the current Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee’s (TPCC) president Revanth Reddy termed Sonia Gandhi as the culprit (balidevatha) behind all the suicides.

The Minister said that Hyderabad is a global city that welcomes lakhs of tourists every day and it also welcomes ‘political tourists’ like Priyanka Gandhi.
He termed the Congress as a ‘sinking ship’ and suggested Priyanka Gandhi turn her political tour into an ‘educational tour’. He asked her to witness the growth of Telangana and learn by seeing the world class roads, flyovers, cable bridge and offices of the top MNCs in Hyderabad. KTR suggested that she ask fellow congressmen what people like superstar Rajinikanth spoke about Hyderabad. He invited her to understand local conditions and learn from what she sees there.
KTR highlighted the ‘failures’ during Congress rule like lack of drinking and irrigation water, issues with electricity, and lack of support for agriculture.
The Minister said that in stark contrast to the Congress rule, BRS led Telangana government provided 24*7 power, Rythu Bandhu, Aasaea pensions for the needy, Mission Bhagiratha etc. He suggested Priyanka learn from the inclusive and holistic developmental activities, and policies of Telangana, and implement them in Congress-ruled states.
He said that the people of Telangana who are ‘astute’ will secure their future by electing KCR who achieved formation of the state and that the ‘political tourist’ Priyanka Gandhi will realize this in the tour.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary will lead a rally and address a public meeting at Saroornagar stadium on Monday.
This is her maiden political visit to Telangana since the state’s formation in 2014.

The minister who arrived in a chopper, also played shuttle in the newly inaugurated indoor stadium.

Addressing a public meeting, KTR said that the BRS government works for the cause of farmers and their welfare and assured that the state government would purchase every grain produced by the farmers.
“Chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has already directed the officials to procure soaked and discoloured paddy from the farmers without imposing any conditions,” said KTR while he urged farmers not to worry about the crop losses triggered by unseasonal rains.
Recalling Husnabad to be famous for drought and parched lands, KTR asserted that KCR has now deployed Bhagiratha Maharshi to construct the Gouravelli project and brought Godavari water to Husnabad ensuring water supply to the farmers.
Taking a dig at Congress, “In the Congress rule, power was supplied hardly for six hours to the farming sector but now 24 hours free power was being supplied to farmers,” he said.
Listing out the welfare and development programmes executed in Husnabad by the Telangana government, the KTR slammed the BJP for its unfulfilled promises.

“When Narendra Modiji became Prime Minister, the domestic gas cylinder price was Rs 400 and today it escalated to Rs 1200,” underlined KTR.
Slamming the Telangana BJP MP Bandi Sanjay, KTR said that he always indulges in communal politics and insists on digging into mosques to derive political mileage when he should focus on the promises made by his party.
“Do we need such MP? Lands should be dug up for laying the foundation for canals and development works,” the minister said, adding that if BRS candidate had been elected, Karimnagar would not have an IIIT.
