Foundation stone laid at the village of Vangara in Telangana’s Karimnagar district
The personal computer sent by his son P.V. Prabhakara Rao in 1986 will find a place in the museum being set up in former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao’s ancestral village of Vangara in Telangana’s Karimnagar district. “My father collected over 15,000 books. Some of them are housed in Hyderabad at the Ramananda Tirtha Memorial Trust. Some of these books will be part of the museum being developed,” informed his daughter Surabhi Vani Devi. His belongings, his favourite chair, and a series of photographs showing his journey, will also be on display. Mr. Rao’s biographer Vinay Sitapati writes about the 45 cartons filling up a large truck when Mr. Rao had planned his move from Delhi to Hyderabad in May 1991 before fate steered him in a different direction. The biography has a series of photographs of Mr. Rao credited to the ‘Rao Family’ as a source. Now these photographs will be displayed at the museum that is expected to be ready in a year’s time.After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right?

Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
As the November 30 deadline nears for installing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency panic buttons in public service and nationally permitted goods vehicles in Karnataka, transport unions representing cab, bus, and truck operators are urging the government to reconsider the mandate. They argue that the high cost of these devices and a lack of awareness have made it difficult for many vehicle owners to comply with the requirement.
