Inaugurating the new GCC, Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy said it attests to the growing stature of Hyderabad, which is home to nearly 2,000 life sciences companies and accounts for 40% of India's pharma production, as a global life sciences hub.
He also outlined Telangana's ambitious economic goals of emerging as a $1 trillion economy in the next decade and contributing 10% to India's projected $30 trillion economy by 2047.
Telangana IT & industries minister D Sridhar Babu said after adding around 70 GCCs in 2024-25, the state is now targeting attracting 100 GCCs in 2025-26. He said Hyderabad's Genome Valley and medtech parks have added 1.1 crore square feet of R&D and manufacturing space recently.
He also pointed to Telangana's leadership in investment mobilisation with inflows of Rs 3.2 lakh crore in the past 19 months, surpassing states like Gujarat with 2.6 lakh crore and Tamil Nadu with Rs 2.1 lakh crore. He said the govt is also focused on digitally enabling patient records for over 40 million residents.

As Delhi Assembly goes paperless, all MLAs get iPhone 16 Pro, new tablets on Day 1 of monsoon session
As part of the Delhi Legislative Assembly's paperless initiative, all 70 MLAs including those from the opposition—received a major upgrade in the form of an iPhone 16 Pro on Monday, for official use. Apart from the new smartphones, all MLAs, including Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and other ministers, were also provided with new tablets and iPads. The move comes amid the assembly launching the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA), marking a significant shift towards paperless legislative functioning. This was the first session where all legislators attended the proceedings with their new mobile handsets and tablets, an official from the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat said. The Delhi Legislative Assembly also became the first legislature in the country to be powered entirely by solar energy, following the commissioning of a 500-kilowatt rooftop solar power plant on Sunday. The NeVA platform, developed under the Centre's 'One Nation, One Application' initiative, was fully implemented from this Monsoon Session. Legislators underwent training last month to familiarize themselves with the digital interface, which includes smart delegate units with microphones and voting panels, RFID/NFC (Radio Frequency Identification, Near Field Communication) access, multilingual support, real-time document access via iPads, an automated AV system with HD cameras, and a secure, power-backed networking environment. Last month, the General Administration Department of Delhi revised the ceiling for mobile phone purchases by the Chief Minister and ministers to Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 1.25 lakh, respectively. This revised reimbursement order, issued on July 9, sparked a war of words between the ruling BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party, over the high-end phone purchases. The phone reimbursement cap has been revised after 12 years, with the last revision taking place in 2013. Previously, the ceiling was set at around Rs 50,000.

Delhi: Pay Rs 1.2 lakh to clear outstanding fee, court tells parent as pvt school claims financial situation jeopardised
A Delhi court recently directed a man to pay Rs 1.21 lakh to a private school in the city as the outstanding fee for his child. The Judge was hearing a suit filed by Bluebells International School, which was the defendant for the recovery of the school fee of one of its students. The school had argued that the parent, the plaintiff, was under a legal obligation to make timely and regular payments of the fees. 'Present suit has been filed on October 16, 2024, whereas the cause of action last arose upon the plaintiff on February 7, 2024, when the defendant made the last payment against the outstanding amount,' the court noted in its order dated July 23. 'In view of the foregoing reasons, the present suit is decreed in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant. The plaintiff is held entitled to recover from the defendant a sum of Rs.1,21,418/- alongwith interest @ 10% per annum from the date of institution of the suit till the realisation of the suit amount,' said Civil Judge Yashu Khurana of Saket Court. It was also argued that the parent had not cleared the dues despite repeated requests and reminders. Stating that its financial situation was being jeopardised, the school also told the court that a legal notice dated May 31, 2024 was issued to the parent. The order comes at a time when the Delhi government has introduced a Bill to regulate fee hikes by private schools in the Assembly amid the ongoing Monsoon Session. The Bill, which has come in the backdrop of protests by parents against arbitrary hikes by private schools, imposes strict penalties on schools that hike fees in an arbitrary manner. Schools will face fines ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh for the first time offences and Rs 2 to 10 lakh for repeat violations. Repeat violations may also lead to a loss of the right to increase fees in the future.

PSBs have 33,000 vacancies, use 1 lakh contractual and outsourced workers
Nearly 33,000 vacant positions existed in India's public sector banks (PSBs) as at the end of June, with these 12 lenders utilising more than 1 lakh contract and outsourced workers, according to data provided by the Finance Ministry to Parliament on Monday. As per a written reply in response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said that as on June 30, as many as 32,567 positions were vacant at state-owned banks across officers, clerks, and sub-staff. The split was as follows: 17,500 vacant officer positions, 12,861 clerks, and 2,206 sub-staff. 'The requirement of manpower in each PSB is determined by the respective PSB keeping in view various factors which include, interalia, business requirement, spread of activities, superannuation and other unplanned exits. Appointment of officers and staff is done accordingly by the PSBs and it varies from year to year based on their requirements,' Chaudhary said, adding that in the last five years, a total of 1.49 lakh staff had been recruited by PSBs, with another 48,570 employees in the process of being hired for 2025-26. To be sure, the vacant positions account for just over 4 per cent of the total manpower PSBs require. As at the end of the June quarter, PSBs had a requirement of 7.91 lakh, and had filled 7.58 lakh – or 95.9 per cent – of them. Interestingly, the number of staff required by PSBs has been steadily declining. From 7.9 lakh in 2020-21, the number of employees at India's state-owned banks declined in each of the next three years, according to data furnished by the Minister of State for Finance to the Rajya Sabha on July 22. In 2021-22, the number of PSB employees was down 1.6 per cent, and fell another 1.3 per cent in 2022-23, before posting another 1.6 per cent fall in 2023-24. The last financial year, 2024-25, saw a marginal increase of 0.4 per cent to 7.58 lakh. Over the aforementioned five-year period, only four PSBs reported an increase in the number of employees: Bank of Maharashtra (up 16 per cent), Punjab & Sind Bank (up 15 per cent), Central Bank of India (up 2 per cent), and Punjab National Bank (up 1 per cent). Leading the staff shedders was Indian Overseas Bank, whose headcount was down 11 per cent in 2024-25 compared to 2020-21. On the whole, the number of PSB employees was down 4 per cent in 2024-25, the finance ministry had told the Rajya Sabha on July 22. The decline in the number of PSB employees has occurred despite a rise in their business. In March 2024, the loans given by PSBs stood at Rs 85 lakh crore, up 38 per cent from March 2021 – the period during which these banks reduced the number of employees on their books in each of the three years and by a total of almost 35,000. Meanwhile, on Monday, Chaudhary told the Lok Sabha that PSBs utlitised the services of as many as 1.01 lakh outsourced or contractual workers as at the end of June. These staff, the Minister of State for Finance said, are used for non-core activities of banks such as housekeeping, security guards, and ATM guards, among others, and were in line with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines.
