Telangana's VeriFast app sets national benchmark in passport verification
The Telangana Police have secured the top rank in passport verification efficiency across all Indian States, owing to their digital platform VeriFast. This recognition comes ahead of Passport Seva Divas on June 24, when Director General of Intelligence B. Shivadhar Reddy will receive the Certificate of Excellence in New Delhi from the Minister of External Affairs. The VeriFast application was developed to streamline passport verification and has placed Telangana at the forefront of technological innovation in public service. The State consistently records the fastest average turnaround time (TAT) for verifications, often completing the process in under three working days, ahead of national requirements. According to national data, Telangana processes more than 2,000 passport verifications daily, with annual figures exceeding eight lakh. The system records over 95% satisfaction among applicants, thanks to its transparency, reliability, and real-time SMS updates. Most police stations report zero backlog due to dynamic reassignment and balanced workload distribution. VeriFast integrates with the State's intelligence databases to detect and prevent fraudulent applications. It follows a tiered workflow involving Field Verification Officers, Inspectors or Assistant Commissioners of Police, and Passport Verification Cells, ensuring accuracy and accountability. The platform works across Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux, eliminating the need for expensive hardware. Future upgrades will allow applicants to schedule verification slots, making the process more convenient. Its data analytics feature helps the police monitor verification trends, identify suspicious activity, and aid in crime analysis, including detecting illegal emigration rackets.

Programmed for excellence Maharaja Surajmal Institute, New Delhi
A quiet achiever, MSI has steadily built a reputation for rigorous academics, standout placements and a hands-on approach to tech education No. 1: MAHARAJA SURAJMAL INSTITUTE , New Delhi No. 3 (2025) up from No. 15 (2020) In the competitive higher education landscape of Delhi NCR, where legacy institutions dominate the conversation, Maharaja Surajmal Institute (MSI) has emerged as a quiet but formidable force. Tucked away in the institutional area of Janakpuri in West Delhi, MSI has steadily evolved from a well-regarded regional college into a nationally respected name. Established in 1999 under the Surajmal Memorial Education Society and affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, MSI's rise wasn't an overnight one. It is the product of long-term planning, academic rigour and a faculty-driven focus on quality. One such example is its flagship Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme, consistently ranked among the best in the country. While strong placement records matter, Dr Neetu Anand, spokesperson of the institute and a BCA faculty member, stresses the real differentiator lies in how students are taught, trained and mentored for 'real-world opportunities'. That preparation begins with world-class infrastructure: over 400 computers in multiple air-conditioned ICT (Information and Communication Technology) labs and high-speed Wi-Fi. A full-scale research and financial lab further deepens the technical foundation for students. MSI's emphasis on experiential learning has been recognised by industry as well. It recently received a Certificate of Excellence as a Training Centre for Business Intelligence and Data Analysis and has been named a Champion Promoter for IBM's SkillsBuild Programme. The aim is clear—to bridge classroom learning with real-world application. HOLISTIC PUSH Beyond infrastructure, what truly sets MSI apart is its student engagement model. With over 40 active societies, a well-structured mentor-mentee programme, regular hackathons, pre-placement talks and industry-led training sessions, students are immersed in an environment that fosters both academic and professional growth. The library alone offers access to 29,000 e-books and 4,300 e-journals. Marking its silver jubilee, MSI expanded its academic scope through international conferences, research collaborations and partnerships with Grant Thornton, Internshala and Pearson India. The results are beginning to show. In 2024, a student from MSI landed a job at the global investment and technology development firm DE Shaw with an annual package of Rs 22.5 lakh—among the highest in the country for a fresh graduate. For a college once seen as a regional option, MSI is now shaping up to be a national player with a clear eye on the future.
