Kurnool: Students must become game changers by embracing innovative thinking and using technology to achieve their goals, said Minister for Industries, Commerce, and Food Processing, TG Bharath. He was speaking at the Shining Stars awards ceremony held at Pushpa Raj Function Hall, Peddapadu Road on Monday, where meritorious students from Class 10 and Intermediate were felicitated.
He said that the State government has taken a significant step in encouraging academic excellence by presenting talented students—who performed well in the public board exams—with a Shining Stars Award, a cash prize of Rs.20,000, and a certificate of excellence. He advised parents not to impose their own aspirations on their children but to support them in pursuing their passions.
MLA G Charitha (Panyam) lauded the success of government school students who scored on par with private school peers. She cited the examples of Dr BR Ambedkar and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who rose from humble beginnings to win the Bharat Ratna, emphasizing that poverty is no barrier to education.
She reiterated that the government is offering numerous educational opportunities, quality teaching, and infrastructure support. She highlighted government investments in infrastructure such as Rs 5 crore sanctioned for KGBV schools in four mandals of Panyam constituency; Rs 3 crore allocated for renovation of BC and SC hostels; Rs 10 lakh CSR fund approved for the development of the IIT Ambedkar NEET Academy in Chinnatekur.
Joint Collector Dr B Navya stated that it is commendable how students, despite personal and financial hardships, have crossed a milestone by excelling in board exams. She urged teachers to continue offering competitive coaching so that more students from government schools can secure top ranks in entrance exams.
At the conclusion of the event, awards were presented to 142 students from government and private schools who excelled in the Class 10 board exams.
The programme was attended by RDO Sandeep Kumar, DEO Samuel Paul, DVEO Sudhir, students, parents, teachers, and other officials.

In Rajasthan IAS transfer list, officer removed on bribery charges gets new responsibility

JAIPUR: In a major administrative reshuffle in Rajasthan, the Bhajan Lal government has transferred 62 IAS officers late on Sunday night. The transfer list issued by the Personnel Department contains the names of many IAS officers who were stuck in the same post for years, including some who had been given responsibility in that department during the Gehlot government. In the list, 21 IAS officers have been given additional charge, while collectors and magistrates of many districts have also been changed. The most shocking name in this long-awaited transfer list is that of Hanuman Mal Dhaka, an IAS officer who last year, was accused of demanding a bribe of Rs 25 lakh in a land conversion case. The ACB had arrested him but now Dhaka, who was removed on bribery charges, has been given a new responsibility. The Bhajan government had APO-ed him in the bribery case, but the Personnel Department has now posted him as Director, Departmental Investigation. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had registered a case against the then District Collector of Dudu Hanuman Mal Dhaka, and Halka Patwari Hansraj for demanding a bribe of Rs 25 lakh in exchange for land conversion. The ACB had raided the Dak Bungalow in Dudu and the Tehsil office. However, the bribe amount was not taken after they realised that the ACB had caught on. But the ACB verification made it clear that Hanuman Mal and the Patwari had demanded the bribe.
