Telangana Unemployment Crisis: Students Demand Government Action Protest at Telangana State Public Service Commission Members of the Students and Unemployment Federation staged a protest at the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) office on Monday. They demanded the release of job notifications to fill two lakh vacant positions in the state. The protesters criticized the Congress party for making unfulfilled promises. During the election campaign, Congress had assured that, if elected, they would address unemployment issues. However, these concerns remain unresolved. The protesters also demanded that the selection ratio for the Group-I Main exam be adjusted to 1:100 instead of 1:50. Given the Group-I notification was issued after a decade-long gap, aspirants believe they deserve a fair chance in the recruitment process for the 563 Group-I posts. “The state government should release notifications for all jobs, fill two lakh jobs this year, and cancel GO 46 immediately. An unemployment allowance of Rs 4,000 should be provided, and Group exams should be conducted in December,” said Kompelli Raju, State President of the Student and Unemployed Federation. Increased Activism Among Student Unions in Telangana Student unions in Telangana have become increasingly active, staging at least a dozen protests near education department offices and the TSPSC. They are pressing the government to address various issues in the education sector. Concerns include fee regulation, infrastructure improvements in public schools, and the re-conducting of NEET 2024. Since the academic year began, the rising cost of school education has been a major point of contention among student organizations such as ABVP, SFI, BRSV, and AISF, regardless of their ideologies. Without fee regulation, private school and junior college fees have skyrocketed, with some corporate schools charging Rs. 2-3 lakh for LKG students. Demands for Fee Regulation and Improved Infrastructure Student leaders recently protested at the Directorate of School Education, demanding immediate implementation of school fee regulation and better basic amenities in government-run schools. In addition to fee regulation in corporate junior colleges, student unions are advocating for the filling of vacant teaching and non-teaching posts in government junior colleges and the provision of mid-day meals to students. NEET 2024 Controversy and Its Impact This year, student activism has reached new heights due to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) UG and National Eligibility Test (NET) 2024 question paper leakage issue. Student unions, including the BRSV, are demanding that the Central government scrap NEET 2024. The BRSV recently held a massive protest at Raj Bhavan with this demand. Additionally, 11 student unions called for a bandh of educational institutions, further intensifying their protests. Solidarity with Unemployed Youth Beyond education sector issues, student unions have extended their support to the ongoing protests by unemployed youth. These youth demand that the Congress government honor its poll promises. Several unions, including the ABVP, have already protested at the TSPSC. Call for Protest by Unemployed Youth On Friday, unemployed youth escalated their protest by calling for a demonstration at the TSPSC. They plan to besiege the Commission, demanding that the Congress government fulfill the assurances given during the assembly elections. On Thursday, some unemployed youth personally reached out to government job aspirants in libraries, study halls, and coaching centers in the city, seeking support for the protest. The unemployed youth are demanding that the Congress government select candidates for the Group-I Main exam in a 1:100 ratio instead of 1:50, increase Group-II and Group-III posts, and defer the exams until December. They also want the government to withdraw GO 46. Conclusion: A Call for Government Accountability The increasing protests by student unions and unemployed youth in Telangana highlight the urgent need for government action. The demands for job notifications, fee regulation, improved educational infrastructure, and fair recruitment processes are not just about addressing unemployment but also about ensuring a fair and just system for all. The state government must listen to these voices and take concrete steps to address their concerns. Telangana State

Telangana High Court Demands Action Against Unauthorized Off-Campus Centre of Malla Reddy University Court Orders Crackdown on Malla Reddy University's Off-Campus Centre The Telangana High Court has issued an interim directive to the State of Telangana and the University Grants Commission (UGC) to take decisive action against the off-campus centre of Malla Reddy University. This centre, known as the Center of Excellence for Commerce and Design, was established without prior approval from the state government and the UGC, violating existing regulations. Legal Proceedings Initiated by Educational Institutions The order came in response to a plea from the Naveena Educational Society and Prathibha Degree College. These institutions demanded the immediate closure of the unauthorized centre. The case was presided over by Justice C.V. Bhaskar Reddy, who acknowledged the gravity of the allegations and issued the directive to enforce compliance with regulatory standards. Background and Legal Context Previously, the Bench had issued a notice regarding this matter. However, the university representatives did not acknowledge the notice, leading the court to consider the notice as served. The Bench highlighted the petitioners' argument that under the UGC (Establishment of and Maintenance of Standards in Private Universities) Regulations, 2003, prior approval is mandatory for setting up off-campus centres. Petitioners' Arguments and Court's Observations The petitioners contended that the off-campus centre operated in direct contravention of the UGC regulations. Despite receiving the court notice, the respondents failed to respond, prompting the court to take interim action. Justice Reddy stated: "The petitioner argues that according to the UGC Regulations, 2003, the respondent must obtain the necessary permission to establish an off-campus centre. The respondent's actions are contrary to these regulations. Given the absence of representation from the respondents despite the notice and the lack of permission to operate the off-campus centre, interim directions are issued to the relevant authorities to take appropriate action in compliance with the UGC Regulations, 2003." Next Steps in the Legal Battle The writ petition is scheduled for further proceedings on July 24, 2024, where a counter affidavit is expected to be filed. Case Details: Case Title: Naveena Educational Society vs. State of Telangana Case Number: WP 11043 of 2024 Counsel for Petitioner: Soma Srinath Reddy Counsel for Respondents: Mehaboob Ali, SS for AICTE, and Ch. Jagannadha Rao Conclusion The Telangana High Court's directive underscores the importance of adhering to regulatory frameworks in the establishment and operation of educational institutions. The ongoing legal proceedings will determine the future of the Malla Reddy University's off-campus centre, setting a precedent for compliance and enforcement of educational standards in Telangana.

Hyderabad ED Seizes 1.2 kg of Gold Linked to BRS MLA in Money Laundering Case Gold Biscuits Worth Rs 1 Crore Confiscated in Hyderabad In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of Hyderabad has confiscated 1.2 kg of gold biscuits, allegedly connected to BRS Patancheru MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy. The gold, valued at approximately Rs 1 crore, was found in lockers at a State Bank of India branch in Patancheru, reportedly registered under the MLA’s name. Lack of Purchase Documentation Raises Questions No receipts or documentation pertaining to the acquisition of the gold biscuits were discovered during the seizure. This lack of records has further intensified suspicions surrounding the case, adding complexity to the ongoing investigation. ED Uncovers Extensive Real Estate Holdings In addition to the gold, the ED sleuths also seized documents related to around 100 real estate properties. These properties are reportedly owned by the MLA, his son Vikram Reddy, his brother Madhusudhan Reddy, and various proxies. The scale of these holdings has brought the financial dealings of the MLA and his family under intense scrutiny. Previous Raids and Forensic Examination This recent seizure follows earlier raids on properties linked to the MLA and his family. During these raids, mobile phones belonging to the MLA and his son were confiscated for forensic examination. These devices are expected to provide further insights into the alleged money laundering activities. Investigation Originated from Illegal Mining FIR The investigation into MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy began after an FIR was lodged by Patancheru police, alleging illegal mining activities. This FIR prompted a broader probe into the financial transactions and assets of the MLA, leading to the current discoveries. Broader Implications and Next Steps The seizure of such substantial assets has significant implications. It not only casts a spotlight on the MLA's financial practices but also highlights the rigorous efforts of the ED in tackling alleged money laundering cases. As the investigation progresses, more revelations are anticipated, potentially involving other high-profile individuals and further financial irregularities. The ED's actions reflect a broader commitment to uncovering and addressing corruption and illegal financial activities. The case against MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy is a stark reminder of the ongoing efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in public office. Conclusion The seizure of 1.2 kg of gold and extensive real estate documents linked to BRS MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy marks a crucial point in the investigation into alleged money laundering. With no purchase receipts for the gold and the discovery of significant property holdings, the case underscores the importance of thorough financial scrutiny and legal accountability. As authorities continue their probe, the outcomes of this investigation could set important precedents for handling similar cases in the future. Telangana State
