TEC public hearing on Intermediate education in Telangana
Intermediate education in the State needs reforms with changes ranging from curricula, building trust among parents, making government junior colleges more accessible, including timely payment of scholarships and fee reimbursements to students and institutions, among others. Wide-ranging concerns were noted by various stakeholders at the public hearing organised by the Telangana Education Commission (TEC) here on Wednesday. TEC member P.L. Vishweshwar Rao, opening the session, stressed that the State has been witnessing lower enrolment numbers and there was also a need to diversify by looking beyond the four traditional streams of MPC, BiPC, MEC and CEC. No junior college For one girl who attended the hearing with her mother, the concern was even more basic. She hails from Kapra mandal in Medchal Malkajgiri district, home to over 1.60 lakh people, but with no government junior college. Her family cannot afford private college fees and is hesitant to send her away for higher education. Parents also highlighted the lack of awareness about Gurukula schools and called for fee regulation, career counselling and greater CSR involvement to improve infrastructure and services. Civil society members echoed these concerns, pointing to poor infrastructure, high dropout rates due to the distance to colleges, lack of career guidance and a shortage of lecturers. Strengthening colleges Domain experts, lecturers and union leaders spoke about the 'visible erosion of trust' in government colleges. Of 3,009 colleges in the State, only 400 are government-run, and over 90% of students are also enrolled in private institutions, they said. They called for a strict fee regulatory mechanism, and strengthening the colleges with sufficient funds, coaching and infrastructure. Participants also said that the government must reconsider the need for EAMCET, if Intermediate examination is made the basis for future streams. TEC chairperson Akunuri Murali said the main idea of the public hearing was to understand the concerns of parents and students. He also pointed to the stress level among students and the rapid commercialisation of Intermediate education. He assured that TEC will study the various aspects in depth, analyse and formulate suitable recommendations.

I've been facing the camera for 25 years now; That gives you a certain edge: Ajay
Ajay In a career that began without ambition or design, Ajay has spent the last 25 years steadily carving out a space for himself in Indian cinema. Born in Vijayawada with no film aspirations, he stumbled into acting by chance. What followed was an unexpectedly enduring journey — over 250 films across Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada. Speaking to Hyderabad Times, Ajay reflects on a career built not on stardom, but on staying power — and how evolving with the times has kept him in the frame. 'Films were never part of the plan — not even in my wildest dreams' Ajay didn't grow up with cinematic ambitions. Born in Vijayawada, he believed he was headed for a future in engineering — until a coaching stint in Hyderabad altered his course. 'I enrolled for a long-term EAMCET coaching programme at a college in Jubilee Hills. There were a lot of film shoots happening in and around the area. I used to watch the actors and the shoots, and somehow, I got attracted to that world,' he shares. When the exam didn't work out, his father admitted him into an engineering college in Nagpur. But Ajay couldn't see himself continuing. 'I didn't like it there, so I came back and joined Madhu Film Institute in Hyderabad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It was a six-month course, but I never completed it. During the course itself, I got a couple of film offers. It all started immediately — no photo shoots, no big plans. It just happened.' Ajay with his pet 'Work kept coming — and that itself is a big deal in this industry' Ajay's acting career began in the early 2000s, without the backing of a star launch or a big banner. Still, he remained a visible and reliable presence — often playing the friend, brother, henchman, or villain. 'I started at the right time — alongside Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR, Prabhas. I kept getting work, and in this industry, that itself is a big deal,' he says. His first major breakthrough came with Vikramarkudu , where he played the lead antagonist. The role brought him recognition, but sustaining that visibility wasn't always easy. 'After Vikramarkudu , there was a lull. Then Ishq brought things back on track. I've always been lucky in that way, I guess — whenever I needed something big to happen, it did.' From Kushi (2001) to Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024), Ajay has been part of nearly 250 films across multiple languages. 'At 46, I've crossed that awkward phase in an actor's life' Two and a half decades in, Ajay says his career has reached a point of quiet confidence. 'That phase — where you're too old to play a college guy and too young for a father's role — is really tough. But now, at 46, I've crossed that zone,' he says. His recent role in Pushpa 2: The Rule marks what he sees as a meaningful shift. 'Just being in a film like that is a privilege,' he says. 'It'll go down like Baahubali , like Maya Bazaar — films people will remember for years.' Ajay credits his longevity to adapting with changing trends and expectations. 'Earlier, it was all about loud performances, but now it's about realism — and I've had to keep upgrading my craft,' he explains. 'I've been facing the camera for 25 years now. That gives you a certain edge.' Ajay Highlights: 'I started my journey in the film industry when I was 21, and that awkward phase between youth and maturity is brutal. But now, at 46, I've crossed that stage.' 'This year, I've decided to accept only roles I truly like. Most of my career, I've done 90% of the roles that came my way. Now, after 25 years, I can afford to be choosy.' 'Since my debut, I've done around 250 films. I never kept count, but that's roughly where it stands. I was lucky to get roles immediately after film school. Work kept coming — whether it was long or short, good or bad, I always had something.' 'I've mostly played similar characters throughout my career — the villain's brother, son. Now, I want nuance. Like Paatal Lok — grey shades, inner conflict. That's the space I'm eyeing.'

Govt Jr Colleges to offer MBiPC group from this academic year
Tirupati: To strengthen public education and provide competitive academic opportunities, the government has announced the introduction of the MBiPC (Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry) group in all government junior colleges starting from the 2025–26 academic year. Tirupati District Intermediate Education Officer (DIEO) G Rajasekhar Reddy said that this initiative was made possible due to the foresight of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and the proactive efforts of Intermediate Education Commissioner Kritika Shukla. Speaking to the media on Sunday after taking charge a couple of days ago, he said that all 22 government junior colleges in Tirupati district are now equipped with all facilities on par with private corporate institutions. The colleges have been upgraded with student-friendly classrooms, benches, well-stocked libraries, modern science labs, clean and accessible restrooms, audio-visual teaching aids, sports equipment and spacious playgrounds. Additionally, each college now has NSS units for holistic physical and mental development. Until now, the available groups in these colleges included MPC, BiPC, CEC and HEC in both Telugu and English mediums. The addition of the MBiPC group is aimed at providing students with a unique blend of science education options, especially for those aspiring for careers in both engineering and medical streams. Students will receive free textbooks, EAMCET preparation material, lab records and teachers will be supplied with updated handbooks. Already, textbooks have been distributed to 2,612 second-year students and all books for incoming first-year students are ready for distribution. Further strengthening the ecosystem, a nutritious and hygienic 'Dokka Seethamma Mid-Day Meal' is being served daily to students. Admissions into Junior Intermediate commenced on April 24 and orientation classes for the new academic year have already begun, incorporating the revised syllabus for 2025–26. The DIEO said that all government junior colleges are now fully geared up for reopening on June 2.
