Namaste Or Namaskaram... AP, Telangana turn welcoming

New Delhi: Amid ongoing Hindi imposition row in Maharashtra and southern states, the Telugu-speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have waded into the debate and sent out a message of inclusivity. Andhra Pradesh, under N Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, has struck an inclusive chord by assuring investors that it is offering a safe and investment-friendly environment. IT and electronics minister Nara Lokesh has given a call to the industry to "come, and build in Andhra Pradesh" irrespective of any language you speak. This comes close on the heels of Telangana government's 'Telangana Rising 2047' campaign poster which has a map of Hyderabad with 'welcome' written in at least 34 languages, including in Urdu, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, French, Hebrew, Spanish and Japanese. The poster reads, 'Hyderabad Welcomes Everyone'.

No govt. or Kannada medium school will be shutdown: Madhu Bangarappa

Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Madhu Bangarappa has said that no schools —government and Kannada medium— in the State would be closed for any reason. 'Government and Kannada medium schools in the State will not be closed for any reason. We have deputed teachers and mid-day meals workers in schools with zero admission to other schools. If students enroll, we will restart those schools,' said the Minister. During an interaction with The Hindu, he said that there were many schools in the State where only one student was enrolled, which were also not closed. 'We have not closed any Kannada medium schools and have emphasised on starting bilingual classes,' he said. Mr. Bangarappa said that steps have been taken to open school clusters on the model of Karnataka Public Schools (KPS). 'There are about 308 KPS schools across the state, and there is a huge demand for these schools from students and parents. In this context, it has also been considered to open school clusters and provide free transport facilities to students,' he said. Bilingual schools Mr. Bangarappa further said that in 2023, the State government started 1000 bilingual schools, and they were such a big success that the State Budget of 2025-26 announced the setting up of another 4000 bilingual schools and that they were already sanctioned. 'To provide quality English education in government schools, the English Medium Teacher Induction Program (EMTIP) is being provided to teachers of classes 1 to 4, in association with Azim Premji Foundation, and 20,000 teachers have already been trained in English. It ensures access to English language education for students of all sections of society. And, Spoken English classes are being conducted for students from classes 1 to 8 in all government schools. Modules have been prepared for each class, and KPS teachers have been trained at Regional Institute of English (RIE). So far 38,56,826 students benefited from this,' he said. KG classes The minister further said that the LKG and UK classes started in government schools were a big success. 'We have started LKG-UKG classes in 5000 government schools across the State this year, and the response has been great,' he said, adding that the lack of LKG-UG classes in government schools was pushing parents to admit their children in private schools. 'The Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) in Kalyana Karnataka established 1,008 pre-primary schools last year, almost towards the beginning of the admission season. In just 4 days, 40,000 children got admissions into these schools,' he said. CSR funds not been collected at the expected level Mr. Bangarappa said that the plan to start two model schools in every gram panchayat with the help of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds by corporate companies was not successful. 'We had a plan to collect around ₹2,500 crore CSR fund to build 500 model schools across the State. But, companies in the Bengaluru region are not coming forward to build schools in remote villages. Therefore, we have started a project called Our School-Our Responsibility and have given the responsibility to the Deputy Commissioners and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Zilla Panchayat of the respective districts to contact the companies under their jurisdiction and obtain CSR funds and start model schools,' he said. Teachers recruitment Speaking about the teachers' recruitment, Mr. Bangarappa said that the Chief Minister had announced to recruit 10,267 teachers this year. In addition, the government has approved the filling of 5,000 teacher posts in aided schools and 800 lecturer posts in Government Pre-University Colleges, he added and said the recruitment process will begin as soon as internal reservation among Scheduled Castes is finalised. Fostering constitutional values The Minister said around 1.04 crore students of government, aided, and unaided schools were now reading the Constitution's preamble daily, helping in instilling in them constitutional values. He further said the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) is observing the Gandhi Bharath year through special initiatives to commemorate the centenary of the 1924 Congress session in Belagavi. 'All textbooks have a logo saying Gandhi Bharath on its cover page and seven social sins, written by Mahatma Gandhi on the backside,' he said.

West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya: Man with no follower in BJP, yet trusted to unite a fractured party

KOLKATA: Without a pause, he can recite the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore, Jibanananda Das and Shakti Chattopadhyay one after another. Closely associated with the RSS for more than five decades, Samik Bhattacharya, known for his calm demeanour and poetic sensibilities, is now at the helm of West Bengal BJP as its new state president. The saffron party has handed him the baton to lead the organisation into the crucial Assembly elections that are just 9-10 months away. Originally from Panchanantala in Howrah, Bhattacharya first came into contact with the RSS there. During his student days at Cotton College in Guwahati, he briefly worked with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). A good speaker in Bengali, English and Hindi, the 61-year-old Bhattacharya has consistently maintained his stance with dignity and without a trace of malice toward his opponents. He has endured several political ups and downs. At one point, he had to face internal strife within the Youth Morcha. Yet he remained unwavering in his mission. When confronted with uncomfortable questions about his past in the party, Bhattacharya often responds by quoting his favourite Bengali poet, Premendra Mitra. His loyalty to the BJP is resolute. He reportedly remains indifferent to internal gossip or dissent. Bhattacharya was first elected to the West Bengal Legislative Assembly in a by-election from the Basirhat South constituency a decade ago. Though his tenure as an MLA was brief, he earned praise for his eloquent speeches in the Assembly. However, back then, he was not particularly known as a strong organiser.
