Rupa becomes second matriculate from Ramgarh's PVTG community
2
Ramgarh: After Birhor girl Rashmi Birhor, who became the first graduate of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) settled in Birhor Tola of Basantpur panchayat under Mandu block of Ramgarh district, another Birhor girl from the same village, Rupa Birhor, passed the matriculation examinations conducted by the
Jharkhand Academic Council
(JAC) in the first division.
After becoming the first graduate of the endangered community, Rashmi has been playing a vital role in motivating her community towards education.
Rupa, daughter of Meena Devi and Buchan Birhor, sat for the JAC exam at St Robert School in Hazaribag and secured 322 marks in the JAC results declared a few days ago.
Talking to TOI, Rupa said she wants to continue with her higher education. Rupa also expressed happiness that her community is slowly becoming aware of the importance of education.
She received support and encouragement from her family, community and district administration, which helped her studies.
Her father Buchan, the first entrepreneur from the community in Ramgarh, said, "I and my wife started a small business by opening a general store on the highway with a bank loan. I want to bring the nomadic Birhor community into the mainstream social life by providing better education for all of our children."

Birhor Tola is located far from the main market and to help Birhor families, who usually have to travel long distances to buy necessary items, Buchan decided to provide necessary groceries and general items to the residents through his general store.
The hamlet has seen significant changes and development after President Droupadi Murmu, who was the Jharkhand governor then, visited Birhor Tola in 2019, said Kaithreen Devi, an anganwadi sevika.

State-owned Chinese carmakers GAC and JAC forecast record Q2 losses
Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) and JAC Group expect to post their biggest ever second-quarter losses next month, as the state-owned Chinese automakers struggle with competition at home and abroad. China's auto sector is reeling from overcapacity and an extended price war, prompting regulators and industry executives to warn about risks to the sector's long-term viability. State-owned automakers are generally struggling more than private peers such as BYD, Geely and Great Wall Motor, with many teaming up with Huawei to launch new brands and develop new EVs to try to tap into the tech giant's technologies and brand halo. GAC expects its quarterly loss to widen to between 1.1 billion yuan and 1.9 billion yuan ($153-265 million) from 731.6 million yuan in the first quarter, according to a stock filing on Friday. That compares with a 296 million yuan profit in the second quarter of 2024. An expected first-half loss of up to 2.6 billion yuan would be GAC's biggest six-month loss since listing in 2010 and was attributed in part to its new EV and plug-in hybrid models failing to meet sales goals, as well as the price war. GAC has shared in the losses of its Japanese partners, Honda and Toyota, which have ceded market share in China to local brands such as BYD. Sales of GAC's Aion- and Trumpchi-branded EV and plug-in hybrid cars have also weakened amid intense competition. JAC Group's EV and plug-in sales slumped 35.1% to account for just 4.4% of its overall first-half sales. The firm expects a net loss of 457 million yuan in the second quarter, more than double its first-quarter loss and compared to a 195.3 million yuan profit in the second quarter of last year, according to a stock filing on Monday. Export-reliant JAC said its export business was in decline due to "an increasingly complex international situation and intensified competition in overseas auto markets". JAC is still ramping up production capacity for its high-end EV project, the filing added. The Maextro S800 electric sedan, co-developed with Huawei, went on sale at the end of May priced from 708,000 yuan, making it the most expensive EV released under the Huawei-led automotive alliance and sales network. Arcfox, the EV unit of Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC), said on Monday it expected a second-quarter loss of up to 1.5 billion yuan, narrower than in the same period last year. That would, however, extend a streak of quarterly losses stretching back to the start of 2020. GAC, JAC and Arcfox are not due to report their first-half results until August 29, but Chinese companies sometimes voluntarily publish estimates in advance when significant changes are anticipated. Major automakers including BYD, Geely and Chery are yet to disclose forecasts ahead of their earnings announcements.>

Residents up in arms over road widening project in Secunderabad
Hyderabad: Scores of people gathered near the Rythu Bazaar on Alwal main road on Sunday morning to launch a protest against the proposed 200-feet road widening elevated corridor project. 'So far, it's only been a few people that have regularly volunteered to fight for the cause, and it's proven to be ineffective. We need a collective effort if we want to win the battle, so I urge all of you to do your bit by putting up boards displaying the message 'Reduce road width to 100 feet' as soon as possible,' said Rajiv Rahadhari Property Joint Action Committee (JAC) chairman Telukunta Satish Gupta, urging property owners to put up boards displaying slogans outside their properties to put more pressure on the state govt to call off the project. 'The local MLA and MP use this road regularly, and there are over 2,000 properties along the road. So if residents put up boards, they will definitely come to the notice of the lawmakers,' said SK Lokesh, a techie who resides on Karkhana main road.

Residents say they have held several meetings with govt officials, particularly with district collector Harichandana Dasari, MLA Sri Ganesh, and MP Etala Rajender, but claim their response has been vague and inconsistent. While unofficial sources peg the compensation amount at twice the govt rate per square yard, residents say they are entitled to compensation based on market value. 'The MLA keeps bringing up minor issues in the state assembly but not once has he mentioned anything about our problem, which will impact so many people. We are not against the project; we only ask that it is done within 100 feet, something that was achieved even in the busiest zones of the city like Gachibowli and Hitech City,' Lokesh added. 'I was part of many meetings with the collector and other officials to discuss the issue, but not in a single meeting has the government actually been serious about hearing the concerns of the people and resolving it,' said a government official who participated in the protests, on condition of anonymity. 'HMDA officials came and measured the dimensions of my shop six to eight months ago and left without making any mention of compensation. This shop is my only source of livelihood. If it is demolished, I will be left helpless,' said Rajakumar, who runs a tenthouse shop near the Shiva temple in Bollarum colony. The protests ended at 11:30 am with chants of 'We want justice' and a road blockade that caused a traffic congestion for a few minutes. Members of the JAC said they plan to hold a bandh and a protest directly in front of the collector's office in the coming days.
