He noted that more than half of its graduates are women. He further urged youth to embrace emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, robotics and automation, and work towards a drug-free India. Former director of National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), V.S. Prasad observed that open universities had democratised higher education by bringing learning to the doorstep of students. He stressed the ethical use of AI, transparent administration, and credible examinations. Vice-Chancellor Ghanta Chakrapani said BRAOU was transforming into a comprehensive Open Digital University by integrating Bodhi, digital content, assessment, learner services and digital certifications. He stressed that digital transformation must not create a new digital divide and said the university was strengthening skill development, internships, apprenticeships, research and quality assurance. At the convocation, 23 Ph.D. scholars and one M.Phil scholar received degrees, while 36,145 students were awarded degrees and certificates. Thirty-eight gold medals were presented. Twenty-seven inmates from three central prisons in Cherlapally, Rajahmundry and Kadapa received their degrees. An inmate of Rajahmundry Central Prison, who secured the highest marks, received a gold medal and book prize. The Telangana Prisons and Correctional Services Department expressed pride in the achievement and said that 10 inmates from Cherlapally had completed their postgraduate studies and received degrees. Of them, eight have completed M.Sc. Psychology and two completed M.A. Sociology. All 10 candidates already hold degrees such as LL.B., B.Tech and other qualifications, and continued their higher education while in prison. DIG (Prisons) D. Srinivas said education is an important instrument of correction, rehabilitation and social reintegration, and it continues to be emphasised.

Updated - October 17, 2026 03:05 am IST - MYSURU The Mysuru district unit of Karnataka Rajya Samyuktha AASHA Karyakartheyara Sanghatane has taken a strong objection to the deputation of ASHA workers for the re-verification and training in connection with the ‘Gruha Lakshmi’ scheme. In a memorandum, the Sanghatane urged Health Minister U.T. Khader not to assign duties that do not come under the purview of the health sector. Opposing the additional responsibilities given to them, they said that it is impossible for them to attend training and activities outside their health service duties. Explaining the operational hurdles faced by the workers while using Samastha mobile app, through which they discharge their duties, the Sanghatane stated that though digital work is mandatory, mobile or tablet devices have not been provided to them. Monthly rent allowance of ₹280 which has been fixed in lieu of mobile provision has also been stopped, they stated in the memorandum. ASHA workers have sought separate incentives for data entry work in the Samastha app. The ASHA workers staged a demonstration in Mysuru on Wednesday in support of their demands. Placing its key demands, the Sanghatane has sought a consolidated monthly honorarium of ₹15,000 by combining Central and State government incentive and honorarium components. They also urged to immediately release all pending financial incentives and pay pending packages to ASHA workers who have either resigned or retired from the job after completing 10 years. Pointing out that there is no official rule making GPS mandatory, the Sanghatane urged the health authorities to take measures to stop exerting pressure with regard to GPS location tagging and provide monthly ‘Prime’ and ‘Release’ payment summary copies to all of them without fail, according to the memorandum.
