Tirupati: Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (SPMVV), in collaboration with the UN-APCICT WiFi DX (Women ICT Frontier Initiative – Digital Transformation) Centre and Bharat Ekam Sustainable Development, organised a one-day workshop on 'Creative Economy – From Cultural Roots to Economic Routes' on Saturday. The event highlighted Panchagavya-based entrepreneurship as a sustainable, culturally grounded model for youth empowerment. Led by Dr P Harsha Bhargavi, creative economy expert, the workshop explored how traditional Panchagavya knowledge, derived from indigenous cow products like milk, curd, ghee, urine, and dung, can be transformed into health, wellness, and eco-friendly craft businesses. Over 50 participants, including students and faculty, took part in interactive sessions featuring live demonstrations on Panchagavya-based health remedies, DIY crafts, jewellery, and Diya-making. The hands-on training emphasised the use of sustainable, low-investment resources to develop market-ready products. The initiative is part of a broader series aimed at fostering Creative Economy Enterprises rooted in Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) and rural development. It was facilitated by Prof P Vijaya Lakshmi, member of SPMVV WiFi, and Prof R Usha, member PM-USHA. Prof C Vani, Coordinator, PM-USHA, was also present.

Board member alleges scam in TTD's Ayurvedic pharmacy
TTD's trust board member and BJP State spokesperson G. Bhanuprakash Reddy on Monday accused the previous YSRCP government of misusing TTD's funds to the tune of ₹3.9 crore to resort to a scam in Ayurvedic pharmacy. The TTD runs an Ayurvedic pharmacy at Narasingapuram near Srinivasa Mangapuram, where the management installed machinery and equipment to make Panchagavya-based products, as part of its Desi cow conservation mission. 'The TTD trust board, at its meeting dated February 17, 2022, had resolved to purchase the set of 64 machinery/ equipment such as pulveriser, chopper, blender, dryer, rapid mixture granulator, de-dusting machine, capsule packing machine, bottle sealing machine etc from Hyderabad-based Sai Teja Steel Corporation for ₹3.90 crore. The entire set stands as scrap today and is not even worth ₹40,000', Mr. Reddy told media here on Monday. Lashing out at the previous government for resorting to large scale corruption by misusing the funds dropped by the devout into Srivari Hundi at the Tirumala temple, he said his investigation had revealed that the company which got the contract was found to be a small-time firm running in a shed. 'The staff working at the pharmacy also told us that the machinery was second hand in nature. This is how the previous administrators misused their position', he charged. Criticising the previous chairman and former MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy for making wild allegations against the present government, he questioned how the former chairman missed the 'corruption' by the previous board headed by his predecessor Y.V. Subba Reddy. 'Was it because you both belong to the same party?' he asked. Mr. Reddy demanded a thorough investigation into the deal and punitive action against the erring persons.
