📘 Introductory Note

Momentum continues to rise across Andhra Pradesh — visibly, tangibly, confidently.
With Yoga Day in Vizag uplifting civic wellness, RTIHs going live, the Prime Minister’s praise for the Super GST – Super Savings Fest energising economic trust, and the simultaneous launch of the RTIH Hub + five spokes forming a unified innovation lattice, the State’s trajectory is unmistakably forward.

This 108th citizen appeal respectfully urges the leadership to lock December 28 – Shri Ratan Tata Birthday (Proposed State Observance) as Visionary Entrepreneurs Day — a civic anchor celebrating humility-led innovation and purpose-driven progress.

⚖️ Disclaimer

It reflects one belief — that Andhra Pradesh can lead the nation in celebrating innovation rooted in ethics and purpose.

Why December 28 Must Become Visionary Entrepreneurs Day — Appeal 108

Appeal No. 108 highlights Andhra Pradesh’s rising innovation momentum, Nara Lokesh Garu’s handloom inspiration, and the potential of M.A first-year students. A call to declare December 28 as Visionary Entrepreneurs Day, celebrating ethical innovation and community-driven progress.

 

 

💬 Why This Matters — Four Inspirations

1️⃣ Yoga Day in Vizag — public health as a collective expression of unity
2️⃣ Go Live of RTIHs — innovation infrastructure entering operational strength
3️⃣ PM’s Praise for the Super GST – Super Savings Fest — governance aligned with citizen benefit
4️⃣ RTIH Hub + Five Spokes Launch — the innovation grid now fully activated

Together, they mark a State transitioning from momentum to milestone readiness.

✨ Today’s Inspiration — Promoting Handlooms (TOI Feature)

Shri Nara Lokesh Garu’s moment at the CII Investors Meet, highlighted in The Times of India, carried more than visual appeal.
A simple yet powerful question — “Guess what this jacket is made of?” — sparked public curiosity and reconnected Andhra Pradesh with its handloom identity.

The reveal — a handcrafted jacket woven in Pulagurtha, East Godavari, from local khadi and mull — reminded the State that innovation, dignity, and identity often begin at the loom, not in distant fashion capitals.

A civic message from a single garment:
When we honour our artisans, we strengthen our future—thread by thread.

🎓 Today’s Focus — M.A First Year Students (All Streams)

M.A first-year students represent Andhra Pradesh’s analytical core — thinkers, researchers, writers, policy minds and cultural interpreters who will guide public reasoning in the decades ahead.

For December 28 Observance Activities (M.A Cohorts across universities):

📚 Cross-Stream Engagement Modules

• Foundations of Research & Inquiry — basics of qualitative and quantitative reasoning
• Writing for Public Purpose — short op-eds, briefs, and reflective essays on civic themes
• RTIH–Humanities Connect Corners — posters, micro-projects, and debate prompts

📖 Stream-Specific Suggestions

M.A English: civic narratives, translation of local success stories, communication for innovation
M.A Political Science: policy simulations, citizen charters, governance case studies
M.A Economics: micro-innovation models, local entrepreneurship impact mapping
M.A History: timelines of Andhra innovators, heritage-led innovation
M.A Sociology: community dynamics, social inclusion frameworks
M.A Public Administration: administrative innovations, e-governance touchpoints
M.A Psychology: student well-being cells, empathy frameworks
M.A Journalism & Mass Comm: positive storytelling, local entrepreneur profiling

🏅 Recognition Element

• Fibonacci Scholar Ribbon — awarded for clarity of thought, ethical reasoning, and civic insight

When our humanities and social sciences students think boldly and ethically, Andhra Pradesh builds a generation capable of shaping discourse with depth and integrity.

💠 Part A — To Shri Nara Lokesh Garu

Respected Lokesh Garu,
The TOI feature on your handloom initiative was more than a headline — it was a reminder that Andhra Pradesh’s identity is woven by its people, its villages, and its unwavering commitment to local pride.

By elevating Pulagurtha’s craftsmanship to an international stage, you reaffirmed a timeless truth: innovation is strongest when it honours its roots.

Locking December 28 – Shri Ratan Tata Birthday (Proposed State Observance) will reinforce this message. It will become a day where:
• governance honours grounded imagination,
• industry honours integrity,
• and students honour character as their compass.

A State that values its roots and vision together becomes unstoppable.

💠 Part B — To RTIH CEOs & Network

RTIH Amaravati and its five spokes are now fully positioned to convert momentum into meaningful civic participation.

For M.A First Year Students:
• Host multidisciplinary Innovation & Society mini-workshops
• Enable micro-grants for research on entrepreneurship ecosystems
• Build RTIH–Humanities Dialogues on public reasoning, policy, and ethics
• Encourage student-led community case studies
• Facilitate campus showcases on “Innovation as Cultural Strength”

Let December 28 be a State-wide celebration where critical thinking and innovation meet, inspiring students to look beyond degrees and towards impact.

🌿 Closing

From Bengaluru, as a Citizen Advocate, I respectfully urge Andhra Pradesh’s leadership to lock the date and turn the State’s rising momentum into a civic landmark.

Let December 28 stand for:
Visionary Entrepreneurs Day — Dream • Build • Lead.

RBI’s Continuous Cheque Clearing: From Days to Hours Starting October 4, 2025. Indian Banking’s Biggest Cheque Overhaul in Decades

-
Image
In one of the biggest operational shifts in Indian banking history , the Reserve Bank of India is about to make cheques move almost as fast as digital payments. Starting October 4, 2025 , the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) will move from slow, batch-based processing to continuous clearing with settlement on realisation — a transformation that will slash cheque clearance times from days to hours. For millions of individuals and businesses still relying on cheques for high-value transactions, this could mean same-day access to funds and a level of speed previously reserved for UPI, IMPS, and NEFT . This isn’t just an upgrade to the back office — it’s a game-changer for trust, liquidity, and cash flow in the Indian banking system.   RBI to Roll Out Continuous Cheque Clearing from October 4, 2025 — Faster Credit, Same-Day Settlements The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to modernise the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) by moving from batch-based cheque proces...
