Tamil Nadu govt to expand ‘Naan Mudhalvan' scheme for job aspirants
Chennai: After the successful launch of coaching centres under the 'Naan Mudhalvan' scheme for UPSC aspirants, the Tamil Nadu government is expanding its focus to support youngsters aiming to clear other Central government competitive examinations. The state has announced plans to establish residential training centres in Chennai, Madurai, and Coimbatore for aspirants of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), and banking services. The initiative will be implemented by the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC) in collaboration with private partners. According to officials, the centres will be operational within three months to align with the schedule of upcoming recruitment exams. Each of the three centres will have the capacity to accommodate 300 students, with four classrooms seating 60 students each. The facilities will include a 100-seater auditorium, computer labs, study halls, library rooms, hostels, and dining halls, offering a comprehensive environment for academic preparation and residential support. A senior TNSDC official said the centres would be equipped with modern learning infrastructure, including smart boards, LCD projectors, and audio-visual aids. Additionally, there will be 24/7 electricity with backup power, high-speed Internet, and CCTV surveillance to ensure a secure and uninterrupted learning environment.

Sharmila blames Jagan, Avinash Reddy for negligence
Kadapa: APCC president Y S Sharmila extended her support to the students protesting at YSR Architecture and Fine Arts University, questioning how the university admitted students without securing approval from the Council of Architecture (COA). Expressing deep concern, she said the students' future now hangs in the balance. 'Each student has spent nearly Rs 15 lakh on their education and is about to complete a five-year course. At this stage, there is uncertainty about whether they will receive valid certificates. This is extremely distres ing,' the state Congress chief said. Sharmila pointed out that the university was established in 2020 without COA approval, and the government misled students while admitting the first batch. 'Even now, the first batch hasn't been enrolled officially with COA. How can the administration gamble with students' futures like this?' she said, blaming former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and MP Y S Avinash Reddy for negligence. Sharmila further said, 'Why did they remain silent despite knowing that COA approval was not in place? Why didn't they make efforts to secure approval when they were in power? COA is based in Delhi—why didn't MP Avinash Reddy engage with the council?' She said the current coalition government now bears the responsibility of correcting this mistake committed by the previous regime. 'For the past one year, students have been fighting for COA recognition. With BJP in power at the Centre and COA based in Delhi, why is this small issue still unresolved? What will happen to the careers of these students if they don't get certified?' she said. Sharmila said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan and education minister Nara Lokesh must answer for this and demands that the issues faced by architecture students should be solved immediately.
