THE Polavaram Irrigation Project has reached 55.90% completion as of February 2025, marking a significant increase from 38.21% in May 2019.

- S GURU SRIKANTH @ Vijayawada

Official data highlights a stark contrast in progress between the previous YSRCP regime (June 2019-May 2024), which recorded an 11.58% advancement at an annual rate of 2.32%, and the current NDA government's pace of 6.11% in just eight months (June 2024-February 2025), averaging 0.76% per month.

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, during a review meeting on March 27, attributed the current surge to efficient governance while criticising the YSRCP for delays and financial mismanagement.

Project component breakdowns reflect these disparities. Civil works rose from 71.93% in May 2019 to 75.77% under YSRCP (3.84%), then climbed to 78.56% with a 2.79% boost since June 2024.

This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?

So You Think You are an Empath?

In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
