Minister for Health and Finance T. Harish Rao on September 19 stated that the six poll guarantees put forth by the Congress party for Telangana have no warranty for their implementation, much like the fate of numerous poll promises seen in neighbouring Karnataka. He further emphasised that if Congress came to power, there would be a guaranteed change in Chief Minister every six months if supported by the people.
Speaking after inaugurating and handing over the documents of 100 double-bedroom dignity houses at Shankarampet of Narayankhed Constituency in Sangareddy district on Tuesday, he said that Telangana Chief Minister K.

The Minister handed over documents to the beneficiaries of the Gruhalaxmi scheme under which a shelter-less family would be provided financial assistance of ₹3.5 lakh for constructing a house on their own. Alleging that the Congress was making unimplementable promises, he suggested the party implement them first in neighbouring Karnataka before promising them to people in Telangana.
He pointed out that the Congress was giving just ₹600 per month social security pension to old-aged persons in Karnataka. The free power supply scheme up to 200 units a household was also not being implemented but the Congress Government in Karnataka had increased the power tariff and imposing power cuts including to the industrial sector.
Mr. Rao cautioned people against the Congress’ promises and said, if believed in, that party would bely on every promise as it was doing in Karnataka. He stated that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Government would irrigate lands in Narayankhed Constituency by getting Kaleshwaram project water.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
