Surat: In a proud moment for the city, two students have secured All India Ranks (AIR) in the top 100 in the NEET 2025 results declared on Saturday. Jenil Bhayani clinched AIR 6, while Maulik Bhalgamia earned AIR 71.
Interestingly, both families had migrated from Saurashtra years ago in search of better opportunities.
Appearing for NEET for the first time, Jenil scored 680 out of 720. He had earlier secured 97.80% in Class XII CBSE from P P Savani School and had been preparing for the exam at the school's Center For Excellence. He also scored 111.25 out of 120 in the GUJCET.
"I always wanted to pursue medicine. I'll do my UG from AIIMS Delhi and later go for MS," said Jenil.
He attributed his success to disciplined, focused study and the inspiration he drew from his grandfather's dream. "It was his wish that I become a doctor," said Jenil, who will be the first doctor in his family.
His cousin, Jainam, also cleared NEET with 553 marks and hopes to secure admission to a govt medical college. Jenil's younger sister Jiya is in Class XI and his brother Kunj is in Class VII. Their father, Vinod Bhayani, a chemical engineer, now runs a real estate business, while his mother Saguna is a homemaker.

A student of Riverdale Academy, Maulik received coaching from Allen Institute. His father, Dr Khimji Bhalgamia, is an anaesthetist, while his mother, Shital, is a homemaker. The family originally comes from Botad in Saurashtra.

Telangana CM fast-tracks gig workers welfare bill, orders insurance & data registry

Hyderabad: In a move aimed at safeguarding the interests of gig and platform workers, chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday directed officials to include provisions for a dedicated welfare fund, accident coverage, and health insurance in the proposed Gig and Platform Workers Welfare Bill. The draft legislation is expected to offer legal recognition and improved social security to thousands of gig workers across the state. Chairing a high-level review meeting at the secretariat, the CM asked senior officials to ensure that comprehensive data on gig workers is maintained online for transparency and effective implementation. He also suggested expanding the scope of the draft bill to better address the needs of this growing segment of the workforce.

Revanth made several suggestions to further enhance the impact of the proposed Act, which is likely to become one of the first such state-level frameworks for gig economy workers in the country. Earlier in the day, Revanth also chaired a separate review on the establishment of advanced technology centres (ATCs) under the Telangana Rising-2047 vision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo The CM instructed officials to develop a model ATC in Genome Valley, equipped with training modules in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and life sciences tailored to industry needs. He emphasised that training at ATCs should align with the skill demands of emerging sectors. "Ensure the swift completion of all ATCs and offer industry-relevant training. I will personally conduct surprise inspections to monitor progress," he said. Officials informed him that 111 ATCs are being developed in three phases—25 in phase I, 40 in phase II, and 46 in phase III. Of these, 49 centres have already become operational. Revanth also suggested engaging skilled construction firms to fast-track ATC infrastructure. A poster on ATCs was released by the CM at the meeting.

Govt depts asked to submit action taken reports on RERA Act implementation

1 2 Bhubaneswar: To strengthen the functionality of Odisha Real Estate Regulatory Authority (ORERA), the housing and urban development department, after assigning specific tasks to various agencies and govt departments with timelines, has asked them to submit action taken reports on the same. In a letter to the departments and agencies concerned, Satish Chandra Singh, joint secretary (housing and urban development department), stated that a high-level meeting under the chairmanship of the chief secretary was held on June 17 to discuss the implementation of the RERA Act, 2016. "In this connection, the chief secretary will conduct a review meeting very shortly. It is requested to kindly take necessary action as per the discussions and decisions in the first meeting and furnish action taken reports to the department at the earliest," Singh said. The action taken reports were sought from the revenue and disaster management department, the general administration department, the town planning division of the housing and urban development department and ORERA itself. According to the assignments, the town planning division was asked to make sure that the status of all project approvals is intimated to ORERA on time. For this, the division was asked to prepare a digital tool for real-time data sharing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo The division was given 60 days to complete the task. Similarly, the revenue and disaster management department was asked to constitute a technical group to plan and implement the integration of ORERA 2.0 with the Bhulekh portal. The team will also work to give access to the SUJOG portal to get the list of approved real estate projects. The housing and urban development department itself was tasked with issuing instructions to the respective urban local bodies to deploy their enforcement squad with the ORERA for the execution of orders under the Orissa Demands Recovery Act,1962. On June 5, ORERA had requested the chief secretary, Manoj Ahuja, to consider an eight-point recommendation it made to strengthen the implementation of RERA Act in Odisha. Following the recommendation, the chief secretary held a review meeting on June 17 and issued specific tasks to specific teams. "Proper implementation of the RERA Act is necessary to safeguard homebuyers and regulate the real estate sector. Earlier, there was a monopoly of the developers and agents, but now things are changing and it should improve further," homebuyer Vikrant Swain said.

300kmph, radar-proof: Army buys BITS-Hyd students' hostel-built drones

Hyderabad: Bomb-dropping Kamikaze drones — 300kmph, radar-proof. Assembled inside a hostel room of BITS Pilani's Hyderabad campus. The Army buys in. Two 20-year-old engineering students of the institute have stunned India's defence circles by building and selling cutting-edge UAVs to Army units across Jammu, Haryana's Chandimandir, Bengal's Panagarh, and Arunachal Pradesh — all within two months of launching their start-up Apollyon Dynamics. Their mission: reduce India's dependency on imported drones. Jayant Khatri, a mechanical engineering student from Rajasthan's Ajmer, and electrical engineering student Sourya Choudhury from Kolkata built their drones with off-the-shelf parts, customised the systems for Indian terrain, and pitched them to Army officers via cold messages on LinkedIn.

What followed was a whirlwind — a live demo of bomb-dropping and racing drones, followed by more demonstrations to military regiments. Orders began flowing in. The company was born. Their standout product: a Kamikaze drone that hits speeds over 300kmph, five times faster than standard commercial UAVs, and delivers 1kg payloads with pinpoint accuracy. "Our drones are not just fast — they can't be detected on radar," said Choudhury. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo The duo insists every UAV is built in-house with a focus on "ruggedness, reliability and adaptability". "Our shared love of robotics brought us together. We started with a defence-tech club on campus. Then came the orders — that's when we knew we had to go big," Choudhury said. The team now includes six second-year students and is working on next-generation VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing)) and fixed-wing platforms to boost mission flexibility. They also offer hands-on training to military personnel — even those with no prior flight experience. "It's heartening to see what they've achieved," said professor Sanket Goel of BITS Pilani. "Their start-up has already secured multiple orders from the armed forces." In "3 Idiots", Joy Lobo's passion for machines died in silence — no support, no takers. In real life, two students built war-ready drones in a hostel room. The Army called back.
