TNUEF passes resolution for honour killing law
KRISHNAGIRI: The Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front (TNUEF) passed 11 resolutions at its fifth district meeting on Saturday, including calls to enact laws against honour killing, install a statue of Dr BR Ambedkar in Hosur, and appoint field workers to district-level vigilance and monitoring committees. TNUEF State Deputy General Secretary P Selvan told TNIE, "The members of the district-level vigilance and monitoring committee should be chosen appropriately. In most cases, the members are unaware of the ground situation and the needs of the people. Therefore, at least one member of the committee should be selected from TNUEF cadres who work on the ground, and the district administration should consider this. Ahead of TNUEF's fifth state-level conference in Mayiladuthurai on August 31 and September 1, awareness programs against untouchability and caste-based honour killings will be conducted in various districts using arts and drama prior to the state conference." He added, "Untouchability still prevails in various districts, so the district administration and state government should work hard and effectively implement government schemes for SC/STs. Additionally, some caste people are still not allowed into temples in Tamil Nadu, and this practice should be abolished." During the meeting, resolutions were also passed to provide patta (land deeds) for Adi Dravidars and Tribals. A resolution was also passed to allocate land for Adi Dravidars in Kottayur, Chennathur, and Sanamavu, where land has been identified but not yet allotted to each family, even after a survey. Similarly, TNUEF State Vice-President G Anandan said, "The Krishnagiri district administration should recognise and register pig-rearing in the district without any issues. Furthermore, the district administration should support Arunthathiyar families at Vennampatti village near Uthangarai taluk by reclaiming a temple from caste Hindus and allowing them to worship. Also, a statue of Dr BR Ambedkar should be installed within the limits of the Hosur City Municipal Corporation." At the end of the meeting, new office bearers were also selected.

'Warm birthday wishes to my brother-in-ideals, @RahulGandhi-- bound not by blood, but by thought, vision, and purpose. May you continue to stand firm and lead with courage. In our march towards a brighter India, victory shall be ours,' Stalin said in a post on X. Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot also wished Rahul Gandhi on his birthday, 'Heartfelt birthday wishes to Rahul Gandhi Ji. May God bless you with good health and a long life. The extent to which Rahul ji is fighting for the rights of the oppressed, deprived, Dalits, Tribals, backwards classes, and the poor among the upper castes in this country is truly unprecedented. It's true social justice. We all stand with you in this fight for justice. I truly hope that your efforts to protect the Constitution and democracy with such resolve, and your message of peace and love in the entire nation, will succeed.

A job fair is all set to be organised by the Indian Youth Congress on the occasion of their leader's birthday. The IYC claims that the job fair will bring together over 100 companies and MNCs, which will offer over 5000 jobs to the people. IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib, while criticising the Central government over unemployment, said that over 100 companies would conduct on-spot interviews and offer jobs. 'BJP's figures are saying that unemployment is the highest in the last 50 years. So currently Congress is not governing the centre, so that we can have policies for government jobs, but this is our effort that more than 100 private companies will come, and the youth can get offer letters on the spot after the interview. People whose registration is not yet complete can also come here and do on-spot registration,' Chib told ANI. Chib mentioned that people who have just passed their 12th class or even postgraduates are eligible to participate in the job fair. 'Those who have passed the 10th to 12th grades can also come, all types of companies will be coming here. Whether it is a graduate, undergraduate or postgraduate, there is a job for them. I urge people to come to Talkatora stadium and participate.' (ANI)

Students must work hard till the age of 25 for success: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, May 28 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wedneday urged students to dedicate themselves to hard work and education until the age of 25 to secure a successful and fulfilling life. He emphasised that good jobs and a better future can only be achieved through consistent effort and education. Speaking at the Gurukula Awards function held at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Telangana stalwart Suravaram Pratap Reddy, noting that Telugu University has been named in his honour to recognise his contributions. Similarly, a prominent women's university has been named after freedom fighter "Veeranari" Chakali Ilamma, highlighting the state's commitment to celebrating those who have fought for the people. Revanth Reddy underlined that true legacy is built by serving society, not by one's caste identity. "The Congress is carrying forward the ideals of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," he said. He called on Dalits, Tribals, and other weaker sections to abandon feelings of inferiority and embrace self-confidence. The Chief Minister announced the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, aimed at empowering underprivileged students to compete at global standards. 'Education is the only way to achieve recognition and upliftment in society,' he added. Lashing out at the previous BRS government, the CM criticised their focus on schemes like goat, sheep, and fish distribution, while neglecting educational empowerment. He questioned, 'Why didn't the BRS take steps to make the weaker sections stakeholders in governance through education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of unemployed youth by not releasing job notifications for a decade?' Highlighting the achievements of his administration, Revanth Reddy said the current government has filled 59,000 government jobs within a year, and successfully conducted Group 1 exams and announced results. He accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing appointment orders by filing court cases, turning the issue into a social problem. The CM condemned the opposition for prioritising their own family members for posts soon after their electoral defeat, while simultaneously blocking job opportunities for the youth. He urged the younger generation to question BRS leaders when they visit and to expose their alleged conspiracies. 'Focus is essential,' the CM warned students. 'Getting distracted can lead to problems for your families. Don't let such situations arise. Be confident, excel, and make not just your parents, but also your state proud.' Revanth Reddy also highlighted his government's inclusive approach, noting the appointment of the first Dalit Vice Chancellor in Osmania University's 100-year history, Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission, and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. "These appointments are based on merit and education, not caste," he stated. The CM said, 'The future of our country lies in the classrooms. I sincerely wish all students success in every field.'
