Minister Bharath exhorts students to adopt technology

Minister for Industries and Commerce T.G. Bharath exhorted the students to use the available technology and achieve their goals. Mr Bharath asked the students to think differently and emerge victorious in their life.

The Minister on Monday gave away the Shining Stars awards to the students who excelled in the recently announced SSC and intermediate examination results, at an event organised at a private function hall in the city. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bharath said the State government had decided to give the awards and also a certificate and ₹20,000 cash to encourage students to further excel in academics. He said students are game changers and they can change the world with their innovative ideas.

The Minister asked the parents to encourage their children to choose a career of their interest and not to force their ideas on the children. He said engineering and medicine are not the only careers for the students and there are several other sectors which can be explored by the students.

She said the NDA government had sanctioned ₹5 crore to KGBV schools in four mandals and another ₹3 crore for taking up repairs to BC and SC hostels in Panyam Assembly Constituency alone. Further, steps are being taken to develop the IIT Ambedkar NEET Academy at Chinna Tekur and ₹10 lakh has been sanctioned from CSR funds.
