MeeSeva to expand digital kiosks with new services
The state is also finalising integration with Protean eGov Technologies Limited to roll out new PAN card services. Citizens will soon be able to apply for physical or e-PAN cards at MeeSeva centres and receive them within days. Additionally, the Licensed Surveyor Training 2025 programme has shortlisted 7,003 candidates for the first spell and 3,028 for the second, with training to begin at district headquarters under the Telangana Academy for Land Information and Management (TALIM).
Launched during the Praja Palana Vijayotsavalu, the MeeSeva Digital Kiosks are now operational at five key locations, including the Hyderabad Collectorate and Khairatabad's RTO office. These kiosks offer 10 essential services, including GHMC birth and death certificates, water and electricity bill payments, and the reissuance of community and income certificates. With features such as QR code-based payments, high-resolution scanners and uninterrupted power supply, the kiosks provide contactless, transparent and accessible services, even in remote areas.
The initiative, spearheaded by IT Minister D Sridhar Babu, supports the state's e-Governance goals by reducing the need for physical visits to government offices. The kiosks' after-hours functionality and robust software have been praised for improving public engagement and preventing overcharging. As Telangana strengthens its citizen-centric governance, the expansion of MeeSeva services highlights its commitment to technology-driven, inclusive service delivery.

The AH-64 Apache is one of the world's most advanced multi-role combat helicopters and is flown by the US Army. The company delivered the AH-64E Apaches choppers as part of a contract to supply six helicopters to the Indian Army. New Delhi: American aerospace major Boeing on Tuesday delivered three Apache attack choppers to the Indian Army, officials said. 'These state-of-the-art platforms will bolster the operational capabilities of the Indian Army significantly,' the Army said in a social media post. In 2020, Boeing completed delivery of 22 E-model Apaches to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and signed a contract to supply six AH-64Es for the Indian Army. The delivery of the Indian Army's Apaches was scheduled to begin in 2024.

Roots of India-Maldives relations as deep as the ocean: PM Modi
India on Friday announced a Rs 4,850 crore line of credit for the Maldives and agreed to finalise a free trade deal soon, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasising that New Delhi is proud to be the "most trusted" friend of the Indian Ocean archipelago. Hours after landing in Male on a two-day visit, PM Modi held extensive talks with Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu to deepen cooperation in a range of key areas, including trade, defence and maritime security.

The outcomes of the Modi-Muizzu talks signalled a major turnaround in the relationship after a spell of unease and tension. The renewed intensity in the ties assumes significance as Muizzu came to power in November 2023 on the back of an "India Out" campaign. India-Maldives friendship will always "remain bright and clear" irrespective of any circumstances, the prime minister said, outlining his vision for the relationship. Live Events To give a new momentum to our development partnership, we have decided to give a line of credit of USD 565 million (Rs 4,850 crore) to Maldives, Modi said. This amount will be used for projects related to the development of infrastructure in the Maldives, in accordance with the priorities of the people of the country, he added. At a media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said a key pact inked following the talks will reduce the Maldives' annual debt repayment to India by 40 per cent. It is learnt that China's increasing assertive behaviour and its implications for regional security figured in the delegation-level talks between the two sides. To a question on whether concerns over China's activities in the region figured in the talks, Misri only said India continues to work closely with the Maldives on any issue that might "impinge not just our security but the common security of the region". In his remarks, PM Modi said the two sides will soon work towards finalising a bilateral investment treaty and that the negotiations on a free trade agreement have already begun. Modi and Muizzu also jointly inaugurated a number of India-assisted projects, including a new defence ministry building in Male, roads and drainage systems in Addu city and 3,300 housing units in Hulhumale. The prime minister also handed over 72 vehicles and equipment for use by the Maldives National Defence Force. The defence ministry building is a "concrete building of trust" and it is a symbol of our "strong partnership", the prime minister said. "India will continue to support Maldives in the development of its defence capabilities. Peace, stability and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region is our common goal," he said. The comments came against the backdrop of New Delhi's concerns over China's attempts to expand its influence over the Maldives. In his remarks, Modi said the Maldives holds an "important place" in both India's "Neighbourhood First" policy and its MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) vision. "India is also proud to be the most trusted friend of Maldives. Be it a disaster or a pandemic, India has always stood by as a 'first responder'," he said. The prime minister also referred to India and the Maldives unveiling a vision for a comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership during Muizzu's visit to New Delhi in October last year. "Now it is becoming a reality. And as a result of that, our relations are touching new heights," he said. Modi also highlighted the functioning of India's UPI (Unified Payments Interface) system in the Maldives. "The speed with which UPI is being promoted in Maldives will give a boost to both tourism and retail," he said. "We have taken several steps to accelerate our economic partnership. To accelerate mutual investment, we will soon work towards finalising the bilateral investment treaty. Negotiations on a free trade agreement have also begun," Modi said. The prime minister arrived here from London in the second and final leg of his two-nation trip. Modi was accorded a warm welcome with Muizzu and a number of top ministers of his government receiving him at the Velena international airport. Hours later, Modi was accorded a colourful ceremonial welcome and a guard of honour at the iconic Republic Square.
