T Intermediate Board postpones supplementary exams
Hyderabad: The Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) has postponed Advanced Supplementary Exams from May 16 to May 25, it was announced on Sunday.
While the Intermediate First Year (Class 11) exam will be held during morning session, Second Year (Class 12) will be held in the afternoon. The exams will continue till June 1.
According to the schedule earlier announced by the BIE, the exams were to begin on May 16. As the re-verification of answer sheets of all failed students and other applicants is likely to take more time, the BIE has postponed the Advanced Supplementary Exams.
A total of 9.74 lakh students appeared in Intermediate First and Second year exams held in February-March. The Board on April 18 announced the exam results.
However, a goof-up by the BIE in declaring the results sparked a huge row and led to suicide by 20 students during last 10 days.
Following an uproar by the students and parents and protest by student bodies and opposition parties, the state government announced free re-verification of answer sheets of 3.28 lakh students who failed to secure pass marks.
Many students who passed the exams but not satisfied with the marks obtained also applied for re-verification of answer sheets.
A three-member committee, formed by the government to probe the goof-up, found that the BIE and Globarena Technologies, the IT firm whose services were hired by the BIE, committed grave mistakes in preparing the results.
Meanwhile, the opposition parties have decided to intensify the protest over the issue from Monday. The Congress, the TDP, the CPI and the TJS have called for ‘chalo Intermediate Board’ to press the demand for judicial probe into goof-up and compensation to families of the students who committed suicide.
BJP’s state unit has demanded judicial probe by a sitting judge of the high court. BJP National General Secretary Muralidhar Rao announced on Sunday that state BJP chief K. Laxman will launch indefinite fast.
Time for the South To Get Its Due From The Centre?
The South states contribute to one-four of India’s GDP that also runs the country. From greater economic progress, employment opportunities, good infrastructure, higher industrialisation, education and human development index to more progress and per capita GDP, the South does it all to run the country.
But, the Centre has always remained unjust to the region. All the Southern states combined contribute more than double to the Centre’s revenues than the Northern States. Development politics and the presence of regional parties in the South is also one of the reasons for such economic progress in the Southern part of India, compared to the Northern belt which is still getting its act together. According to economists, North Indian states get 2.5 times more than what the South gets despite contributing the most to India’s growth.
For instance: While Tamil Nadu gets 40 paise for every rupee it generates for the Centre, Uttar Pradesh gets Rs 1.8 per rupee. One astounding example that shows the injustice meted out to South is the allocation of funds for urban development in Delhi alone by the Centre which was Rs. 20,000 crore in 2016. Meanwhile, this is more than what Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Amaravati, Chennai and Kochi got. Despite all these South Indian cities being top job creators, they have not received the required boost from the Centre.
According to a study quoted by the Hindu Business Line: The simple average per capita income at 2011-12 prices for the five southern States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana was about ₹1,18,070 in 2016-17. In comparison, the per capita income in Uttar Pradesh was about a third of that at ₹38,965 and in Bihar, a little over 20 per cent of the southern average, at ₹25,950. This indicates a stark difference.
While any government at the Centre promises and reiterates the idea of Cooperative Federalism time and again, it hardly implements it when it comes to the Southern States. So, does that mean that the leaders from all Southern States should form a collective and exert pressure on the Centre? May be. But, for starters, all the leaders should first unite and recognise it rather than get into political fights and mudslinging, to demand the South’s rightful share.

Police Takes RGV Into Custody, Sends Back To Hyd
After announcing an official press meet of his film Lakshmi’s NTR at Novotel Hotel in Vijayawada, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was in for an unexpected turn of events. It is known that the film is scheduled for theatrical release in Andhra Pradesh on May 1.
Firstly, the filmmaker announced a press meet at Novotel Hotel in Vijayawada on Sunday. But, he later came up with a tweet: “Hotels in Vijaywada are being warned not to accommodate #LakshmisNTR team ..First Hotel Novotel has cancelled us and now Hotel Ilapuram .This after they have been paid in advance ..The people in power should understand that one can misuse power to delay,but no one can stop truth.”
However, the undeterred RGV followed his style and invited media, NTR fans and his followers to NTR circle in Pipula Road, Vijayawada at 4 PM for an ‘on-road’ press meet. Following that, RGV and his unit were forcefully taken into police custody and detained at Vijayawada airport.
Taking a strong objection to it, Varma said “I do not understand how they (Police) can stop from me visiting Vijayawada and how they don’t allow me to stay at a hotel. They didn’t care to answer us, when I and my producer questioned them.” Finally, police authorities have sent them back to Hyderabad from Vijayawada airport.
When he’s in the police custody, RGV tweeted, “I am In police custody now for the only crime of trying to tell truth ..THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY IN ANDHRA PRADESH”
A little while ago, Varma tweeted: “Sorry to inform that the press meet at 4 pm is cancelled because the police stopped us and have barred my entry into Vijaywada and forcibly sending me back to hyderabad ..Hey @ncbn WHERE IS DEMOCRACY ? WHY IS TRUTH BEING BACK STABBED?”

Hero Karthikeya shot to fame with ‘RX100’. Two More Films (Hippi, Guna 369) starring him in the lead role are in the pipeline.Much to everyone’s surprise, This Youngster decided to turn Villain just when he was doing quite well as a hero. He is going to play a ruthless villain role in Nani-Vikram Kumar’s Flick. His character is that of a menacing villain who is involved in horrifying murders.
Good to see Young Heroes being fearless enough to break the stereotypes by accepting challenging roles. Heroes like Karthikeya who doesn’t have a godfather in the Industry will have a long career by travelling in such a path.
Tarun, Uday Kiran and Raj Tharun disappeared after few back-to-back hits. Karthikeya is definitely not going in that way and that’s a good sign. Let’s see how well Vikram Kumar will be able to use him as an Antagonist..!
