GMR Varalakshmi Foundation (GMRVF), the corporate social responsibility arm of GMR Group, has been recognised as a Nodal Training Institution (NTI) under the Agri Clinic and Agri Business Centre (AC & ABC) scheme of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare on Monday.
The scheme is managed by National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE) here, and graduates of the agri and allied streams will be trained in entrepreneurship through a course conducted by the NTI.
The GMRVF centres at Shamshabad (airport campus) and Rajam (Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh) have been selected as NTIs for conducting the course under AC & ABC scheme, said an official spokesperson.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
