Telangana Skill University to Offer 17 Courses and Train 20,000 Youth Annually The Telangana government has unveiled plans for a new Telangana Skill University in Hyderabad, set to offer 17 diverse courses and train 20,000 students each year. This ambitious project, structured as a public-private partnership, aims to align educational offerings with industry demands, thereby boosting employment opportunities for the youth. Establishment and Legislative Backing The proposed Telangana Skill University will be headquartered in Hyderabad, with its main campus also located in the city. The establishment of this university is a significant initiative, reflected in the state government's decision to table a bill during the upcoming Budget session of the Assembly, commencing on July 23. Government's Commitment to Skill Development Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, along with Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, has emphasized the government's commitment to the project. In a recent meeting, Reddy highlighted the goal of equipping students with industry-relevant skills to enhance their employability. The government is prepared to invest substantial resources to ensure the university's success. Learning from Existing Models The Telangana Industry Department has drawn inspiration from skill universities in Delhi and Haryana to draft the blueprint for Telangana Skill University. Principal Secretary of Industries, Jayesh Ranjan, presented a detailed PowerPoint on the proposed courses, their durations, necessary infrastructure, funding requirements, and potential partnerships with private companies. Self-Sustaining, Non-Profit Model The university will operate on a non-profit, self-sustaining model. It plans to offer a range of educational programs, including three-to-four-year degree courses, one-year diploma programs, and short-term certificate courses lasting three to four months. These courses have been tailored to meet the growing needs of Telangana’s burgeoning industries. Diverse Course Offerings Seventeen priority sectors have been identified for the university’s curriculum, including pharmaceuticals, construction, banking and financial services, e-commerce and logistics, retail, animation, visual effects, gaming, and comics. Initially, courses will be launched in six sectors with the highest employment potential. Each course will have sponsorship from leading companies in the respective fields, formalized through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). Phased Admissions and Campus Expansion In its first year, Telangana Skill University will admit 2,000 students, with plans to scale up to 20,000 students in subsequent years. The main campus will be situated at the Engineering Staff College in Hyderabad, with additional satellite campuses at district headquarters to extend the university's reach. Industry Collaboration and Job Placement The university's strategy includes close collaboration with industry leaders to ensure the courses remain relevant and that students are well-prepared for the job market. This proactive approach aims to secure employment for graduates upon completion of their studies. Support for Broader Educational Reforms In addition to the university initiative, Chief Minister Reddy discussed broader educational reforms with educationalists and retired IAS officers. These discussions included strengthening the school education system, converting Anganwadi centers into play schools, and introducing semi-residential schools for students from fourth grade onwards. The government also plans to provide free transportation for students attending these schools. Addressing Recruitment and Funding in Higher Education The educationalists raised concerns about the lack of faculty recruitment in universities over the past decade and the need for development grants. In response, the Chief Minister announced plans to establish education and agriculture commissions to address these issues and ensure the continuous improvement of higher education institutions. Conclusion Telangana Skill University represents a significant step forward in the state's efforts to enhance education and employment opportunities. By focusing on industry-aligned skills and fostering public-private partnerships, the university is poised to become a model for skill development in India. This initiative, combined with broader educational reforms, underscores the Telangana government's commitment to nurturing a skilled and employable workforce

Hyderabad- Pre Launch Booking of Flats and Villas Fraud in Hyderabad Real Estate Introduction Hyderabad, the city of pearls, has witnessed a rapid transformation in its real estate sector. The lure of lucrative investments has drawn both national and international attention. Among the various buying options, pre-launch bookings have become particularly popular. However, this growing trend has also paved the way for numerous frauds, leaving many buyers in distress. This article delves into the pre-launch booking scams in Hyderabad's real estate market, highlighting major cases and providing insights on how to safeguard against such frauds. Understanding Pre-Launch Bookings Pre-launch bookings refer to the sale of properties by developers before the official launch of the project. Buyers are often attracted to these offers due to the promise of lower prices and better deals. For developers, it serves as a way to raise funds early in the project. However, this process is fraught with risks, especially when unscrupulous builders are involved. Rise in Frauds in Hyderabad Real Estate The real estate boom in Hyderabad has seen a parallel rise in fraudulent activities. Builders exploiting legal loopholes and making false promises have led to an increase in the number of fraud cases. This not only impacts the buyers financially but also shakes their trust in the market. Case Studies of Major Frauds Sahiti Infra Sahiti Infra made headlines when it was discovered that the company had cheated customers of approximately Rs 1,119 crore. The fraud involved selling the same property to multiple buyers and providing misleading information about project approvals and timelines. Bharathi Builders, Kompally Bharathi Builders in Kompally duped around 350 people, amounting to Rs 60 crore. The buyers were promised premium flats at attractive rates, but the projects never saw the light of day. Prathista Infra Prathista Infra was involved in a fraud of Rs 15 crore. The company failed to deliver on its promises, leaving buyers without their invested money or the promised properties. NSV Infra NSV Infra's Pragathi Nagar project was abruptly halted, and the company sold it to a new developer. Out of the Rs 18.50 lakh taken from each customer, only Rs 4 lakh was returned, leaving many buyers in financial turmoil. GSR Infra Group Pvt Ltd GSR Infra Group Pvt Ltd, operating in Kollur village, committed a fraud amounting to Rs 60 crore. Buyers were left in the lurch as the promised villas and flats were never constructed. Common Tactics Used in Real Estate Frauds Fraudulent builders often employ a range of tactics to deceive buyers. These include providing misleading information about project approvals, offering false promises of high returns, and exploiting legal loopholes to evade accountability. Legal Recourse for Victims Victims of real estate fraud have several legal options at their disposal. They can file a complaint with the police, approach consumer courts, or take the matter to civil courts. It is crucial to act promptly and gather all relevant documents to strengthen the case. Government and Regulatory Measures The government has implemented various regulations to curb real estate fraud. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) is one such measure aimed at protecting buyers and ensuring transparency in real estate transactions. Recent amendments and stricter enforcement are expected to deter fraudulent activities. How to Safeguard Against Real Estate Frauds To protect against real estate frauds, buyers should conduct thorough research and due diligence before making any investments. Verifying the builder’s credentials, checking project approvals, and consulting legal experts are essential steps to avoid falling victim to scams. Role of Media in Highlighting Frauds The media plays a pivotal role in bringing real estate frauds to light. Through investigative journalism and extensive coverage, media outlets raise awareness and hold fraudulent builders accountable. Prominent cases often gain widespread attention, prompting regulatory action. Community and Social Impact Real estate frauds have far-reaching effects on the community. They lead to financial instability for families, loss of trust in the market, and a general sense of insecurity among potential buyers. The social repercussions are significant, impacting the overall well-being of the community. Economic Impact on Hyderabad’s Real Estate Market The spate of frauds in Hyderabad's real estate market has led to a decline in property prices and a slowdown in investment. The long-term economic implications include reduced buyer confidence and potential investors shying away from the market. Future of Pre-Launch Bookings in Hyderabad Despite the current challenges, pre-launch bookings are likely to continue in Hyderabad. However, stricter regulations, increased transparency, and better enforcement are expected to reshape the market. Buyers will become more cautious, and developers will need to build trust to attract investments. Conclusion The pre-launch booking frauds in Hyderabad's real estate market have caused significant financial and emotional distress to many buyers. While the government and regulatory bodies are taking steps to curb these frauds, it is crucial for buyers to stay vigilant and conduct thorough research before making any investments. By being informed and cautious, buyers can safeguard their investments and contribute to a more transparent and trustworthy real estate market in Hyderabad. FAQs 1.
