Telangana got a rare recognition as it was invited to participate in a conference that would be held virtually by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) on November 4 and 5.
Seed Corporation Managing Director Dr. Keshavulu will be addressing on ‘Quality Seed Production System: A success story of India: Telangana as a seed hub’ at the two-day conference being held in Rome. The programme, International Seed Conference, is being organised to discuss development of seed industry.
In a communication sent to Dr. Keshavulu on October 21, FAO senior officer and team leader Chikelu Mba informed that the presentation should be made during the parallel session titled ‘System innovations in value chain’ as well as present the report on Theme 4 (Seed Systems) in the plenary session. He was also asked to co-chair the parallel session entitled ‘Seed enterprise development and international trade.’

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
