‘Future city’ will drive Telangana economy: CM Revanth | India News

5 min readPuneJun 21, 2026 03:30 PM IST The turning point came after Sharma joined PMC as a security guard. (Photo by special arrangement)Written by Nilambari SalunkeAt 51, most people would not consider returning to school after a gap of more than three decades. But for Kajal Sharma, a transwoman security guard with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), scoring 79.8 per cent in the SSC examination is only the beginning of a larger plan, aimed at securing a better future through education, skill development, and stable employment. Born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, as Dinesh Vishwakarma, Kajal Sharma had lived in several cities before she found stability in Pune. Like many transgender people who leave home in search of acceptance and livelihood, she spent years surviving on the margins, including begging for a living. After leaving her hometown, she moved to Delhi and later Mumbai before eventually settling in Pune. The years spent moving from one city to another meant that her education took a back seat, but the desire to study never faded. More than three decades after leaving school in Class 7, Sharma returned to the classroom and scored nearly 80 per cent in the SSC examination in 2026, a milestone she describes as the beginning of a new chapter in her life. “I thought I would not be able to join school again, so my studies stopped. But the desire to study was always there,” she said. Sharma’s journey back to education was not easy. The long gap in her schooling and the need to update identity documents created hurdles during the admission process before a supportive school principal and legal assistance came to her rescue. “My admission was rejected three times because of the long gap in my education and issues with my documents. Eventually, with the support of the principal of Prathmesh High School in Pimpri and a lawyer who helped update my records, I was able to secure admission,” she said. Today, her routine revolves around balancing work and studies. She begins her day with household chores and cooking before reporting for duty. While preparing for the Class 10 examination, she studied for at least an hour every day and also used her lunch breaks at work to revise lessons and complete her studies.Story continues below this ad During the examination period, Sharma did not take leave from work. Instead, she adjusted her duty timings, appeared for her examinations and returned to complete her shift. “I changed my duty timings during the exams. I would go and take my exam and then return to complete my work,” she said. The turning point came after Sharma joined PMC as a security guard. It was there, she said, that she understood the value of education and the opportunities it could create. “It was only after I joined the municipal corporation that I realised the importance of education and what it can help us achieve. Earlier, I never understood its value,” she said. A clerical job dream Sharma now plans to enrol in Class 11 in the arts stream and has already set her sights on a clerical position in the future. While she enjoys English, she believes Marathi language skills and typing proficiency will help her secure better opportunities in government service. Sharma also wants to pursue a computer course and is setting aside money from her salary to pay for it herself. For her, acquiring computer skills is another step towards improving her employment prospects. “I want to do a computer course as well. I am saving money from my salary for it because it will help me get better opportunities in the future,” she said.Story continues below this ad More importantly, she sees education as a means of securing her future. As someone without a traditional family support system to rely on, Sharma is conscious of the need to save money and build financial stability for old age. “I have to think about my future. I want to study further, get a better job and save money. In old age, I should be able to take care of myself because ther

Telangana schools reopen for 2026–27 academic year; govt. launches breakfast & milk scheme

Representative imge. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto Reciting the Gayatri Mantra and other Hindu prayers has been made mandatory by the Chhattisgarh Government in all schools under its education department from the current academic session. The Opposition Congress has described it as an attempt to impose the RSS agenda in educational institutions.The School Education Department informed all District Education Officers (DEOs) on June 12, that recitals will be mandatory, beginning with the 2026-27 academic session that commenced on Tuesday (June 16, 2026). Under the new guidelines, the morning assembly would include the national anthem, national song, Deep Mantra, Saraswati Vandana, Guru Mantra and excerpts from the biographies of great personalities.The official added that during the mid-day meal, students would recite a food prayer (Bhojan Mantra), while the closing session at the end of the school day will include the state song, Gayatri Mantra and Shanti Mantra.Foster patriotismThe initiative intends to “foster patriotism, discipline, moral values and cultural awareness among students while strengthening their connection with Indian traditions and national ideals”.Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said on Tuesday (June 16) that the State Government is committed to “integrating Indian culture, traditions and spiritual values with modern education”.The government has also directed the DEOs to ensure strict implementation of the order. Officials will conduct inspections of schools, and administrative action may be taken against school managements or principals found violating the prescribed guidelines, according to officials.Against charter?The Congress has demanded a withdrawal of the move and questioned its constitutional validity in a secular country.“Recitation of the national anthem, national song and state song is appropriate. But why have the Gayatri Mantra, Deep Mantra, Saraswati Mantra and Bhojan Mantra been made mandatory? The government appears determined to turn schools into Saraswati Shishu Mandirs. Imposing the RSS agenda in government schools is wrong,” Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla said.Mr. Shukla said that students of all faiths, castes and communities study in government schools and making the recitation of specific religious mantras compulsory could hurt the sentiments of people belonging to other faiths.India is a secular country and our Constitution guarantees equal respect for all religions. Education in government schools should not be based on any particular religion, he added.India’s education system, he asserted, had traditionally treated all faiths equally and warned that mandatory recitation of Hindu religious mantras in government schools could lead members of other communities to demand the inclusion of verses from the Quran, Gurbani or the Bible.

82.94% candidates clear POLYCET 2026 in Telangana

Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Dansari Anasuya Seethakka. File | Photo Credit: SIDDHANT THAKUR The Telangana government has decided to formally convey its objections to the proposed VB-G RAM-G scheme that the Centre plans to implement from July 1, Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Danasari Anasuya Seethakka said on Saturday. She also said that a final decision on the implementation of the scheme would be taken after consultations with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the State Cabinet.The Minister said the State would write to the Union government outlining its concerns over the new policy, which has already been opposed by the Telangana Legislative Assembly through a resolution. The decision comes amid reports that the Centre is urging States to adopt the scheme from July 1.Ms. Seethakka reviewed the issues to be raised in the communication with officials, including Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Special Chief Secretary Dana Kishore, Commissioner Divya Devarajan, Special Commissioner Srilakshmi, Joint Commissioner Narasimhulu and others, at a meeting.During the review, officials informed the Minister that implementation of the new policy was linked to the release of 60% of the funds required for the employment guarantee programme from the Centre. They also pointed out that several States had already initiated steps for implementation and issued notifications in this regard. The meeting discussed the approaches being adopted by other States.Ms. Seethakka said allocating employment days on a normative basis instead of according to demand was not appropriate. She also proposed that the Centre withdraw the provision mandating a 60-day break in employment works during the agricultural season.She observed that the monsoon season coincides with plantation and afforestation activities undertaken through employment guarantee works in Telangana. Imposing a 60-day suspension during this period would disrupt programmes such as ‘Vanamahotsavam’ and plantation drives, which are in line with the Centre’s environmental objectives, she said.The Minister further noted that agricultural operations in tribal and hilly regions do not extend for 60 days continuously, making the proposed provision impractical in such areas. Interrupting ongoing works for two months would adversely affect development activities. She also demanded that the Centre bear the entire expenditure on ongoing employment guarantee works, buildings and other infrastructure projects until their completion. She said the State would seek postponement of the scheme’s implementation to allow greater flexibility for States.At the same time, the Minister clarified that if implementation of the VB-G RAM-G policy became unavoidable, the State government would ensure that workers did not suffer losses. Officials have been instructed to prepare a framework under which the State could compensate labourers for any adverse impact arising from the new policy, she added.

5 online math games that make learning feel more like gaming

Take a look at the essential events, concepts, terms, quotes, or phenomena every day and brush up your knowledge. Here’s your UPSC Current Affairs knowledge nugget for today on the retrospective GST levy on online gaming verdict.(Relevance: Taxation is an important part of the UPSC CSE syllabus. Previously, UPSC has asked questions on various aspects of taxation in the Indian economy. Additionally, online gaming regulation has frequently been in the news; therefore, understanding it becomes essential for the exam.)The Supreme Court on May 27 has upheld the constitutional validity of the government’s retrospective 28 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) levy on online gaming companies. The verdict effectively revives tax demands running into nearly Rs 2.5 lakh crore against gaming firms, fantasy sports platforms and casinos, and could well spell the end of the road for the online gaming sector, already reeling under a ban imposed by the government in 2025. In this context, let’s understand the key highlight of SC’s verdict, what retrospective taxation is, and the steps the government has taken to regulate online gaming in India. Key Takeaways: 1. A bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan dismissed petitions filed by several gaming companies and industry bodies challenging the GST regime and retrospective tax notices issued by authorities. 2. The dispute centred around the gaming sector’s contention that the 28% GST on online gaming should apply only prospectively, from 1 October 2023, after the amendments approved by the GST Council came into effect. 3. However, the apex court sided with the government’s interpretation and treated the 2023 GST amendments as clarificatory, thereby allowing retrospective application for periods before October 1, 2023.Story continues below this ad What is Retrospective taxation? 1. Retrospective taxation means bringing changes in the legislation that impact the tax consequences of certain actions undertaken before the enactment of such legislation. In simple terms, retrospective taxation allows a country to pass a rule on taxing certain products, items or services and deals and charge companies from a time behind the date on which the law is passed. 2. Countries use this route to correct any anomalies in their taxation policies that have, in the past, allowed companies to take advantage of such loopholes. What is the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, and what are its key features? Last year, the government moved to place a strict ban on online gaming companies operating in India, citing national security concerns, including the use of digital wallets and cryptocurrencies for money laundering and illicit fund transfers.Thus, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 was passed to create a comprehensive legal framework for India’s online gaming sector. Key Features 1. Ban on online real money games: It banned online real money games of all types, shutting the door on popular apps such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League and Winzo. It also prohibits advertisements related to online money games. It prohibits people from offering, aid, abet, induce or otherwise indulge or engage in the offering of online money games and online money gaming service.Story continues below this ad — The rationale for the ban is the “serious social, financial, psychological and public health harms, particularly among young individuals and economically disadvantaged groups” of online money gaming. — These games “use manipulative design features, addictive algorithms, bots and undisclosed agents, undermining fairness, transparency and user protection, while promoting compulsive behaviour leading to financial ruin,” the Act says. 2. Penalties for violating the law: Offering an online money gaming service can lead to imprisonment up to three years and a fine up to Rs 1 crore. For repeat offences, the jail term can extend to five years, and the fine to Rs 2 crore. — Advertising

4 min readHyderabadMay 28, 2026 09:56 AM IST Megastar Chiranjeevi's intervention breaks the deadlock between Telangana exhibitors and producers ahead of Peddi's release (Photo: PeddiMovieOfll, KChiruTweets/ X)The Telugu film industry has stepped back from the edge of a major crisis, at least for now. The Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce issued an official press note clearing the path for the release of Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi‘ after Megastar Chiranjeevi personally intervened in the ongoing standoff between single-screen exhibitors and producers over the rental versus percentage-sharing debate. The press note stated that after discussions with Chiranjeevi, the Telangana exhibitors have agreed to follow the letter circulated by the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, allowing Peddi to release smoothly under the current rental system.What was the fight about? At the heart of this dispute is a long-standing grievance that single-screen theatre owners across Telangana have been nursing for years. Under the present rental system, theatres pay a fixed amount to producers or distributors regardless of how well a film performs at the box office. Whether the seats are full or empty, the rent stays the same, leaving theatre owners exposed to heavy losses when a film underperforms. For example, according to the film chamber, if a movie earns Rs 1 crore gross, a single-screen theatre receives around Rs 7 lakh as rent, while the remaining Rs 93 lakh flows through the distribution chain back to producers. Multiplexes, by contrast, operate on a percentage-sharing model and take home around Rs 45 lakh from the same Rs 1 crore collection. Also Read: Shatrughan Sinha has never been tough on Sonakshi: ‘He is soft, a silent supporter’ This disparity has pushed exhibitors to demand what they call a level playing field. Distributor and exhibitor Sirish Reddy pointed out that while producers follow a percentage-sharing model in Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka, they have remained unwilling to implement the same system in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He also revealed that nearly 100 theatres have shut down since the release of RRR due to severe financial losses. In the same conversation, exhibitors say that some theatre buildings can earn more money if rented out as warehouses, but owners have continued running cinemas out of their commitment to the medium. The standoff before Peddi Exhibitors pushed hard for the percentage system to be applied even to big-ticket films like Peddi, and while they were open to accepting a slightly lower percentage, they remained firm on moving away from the rental model entirely. They demanded a written commitment from producers before the release. Producers, on the other hand, proposed a rental model with an additional 7.5% revenue share as a compromise, which exhibitors rejected.Story continues below this ad The conflict had already shown its teeth when the film Jetlee reportedly faced screening issues on its opening day because of this disagreement. With Peddi set to open on June 4, the stakes were considerably higher given the scale of the film. Also Read: Divyenndu Sharma on why Ram Charan’s Peddi gave him sleepless nights: ‘Telugu’s not easy’ Chiranjeevi’s assurance changed the equation The Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce Secretary confirmed that Chiranjeevi personally assured exhibitors that their long-pending issues would be resolved soon. “We will stand by Chiranjeevi garu’s word. He promised that a solution to the percentage issue would be found before June 30,” the secretary said. Chiranjeevi has committed to personally monitoring and overseeing the meetings and outcomes of the Sub-Committee formed by the Executive Committee of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce to ensure the new percentage system is finalised within the agreed timeframe. The deadline set is June 30.Story continues below this ad A new era from July 3 The most significant takeaway from the press note is not just the resolution around P
