A post shared by Siddu Reddy (@siddureddykandakatla)

In 2014, inspired by his mother, Kandakatla Buchamma, who sold vegetables to support his education, Reddy began his journey in social work. Motivated by her dedication and resilience, he focused on giving back to the community. In 2020, Reddy renovated two government schools in Rayannaguda, Kacharam village, Telangana, to improve learning conditions for students. He also built a school building in Arjunawada, Shamshabad, where he introduced English-medium education. In February this year, actor Sonu Sood inaugurated the new facilities, which have already benefited over 200 students by enhancing both infrastructure and access to quality education.

He recently announced plans to expand his educational initiatives further by launching a new school, Kasturba Gandhi Patashala, in Palamakul village, Shamshabad Mandal, Telangana. This girls-only school will cater to 500 students from 6th to 10th class, aiming to empower young women through quality education. “Education is the foundation for a better future, and this school will ensure that girls in Palamakul and its neighboring villages have the resources they need to succeed,” he shared.

Siddu Reddy has extended his support beyond education by providing more than 10 Activa scooters to individuals with disabilities, empowering them with greater mobility and independence. He has also donated several auto rickshaws to financially struggling families, helping them secure a means of livelihood. His efforts reflect a strong commitment to uplifting underprivileged communities and making a tangible difference in their lives.

Naresh Kumar Macherla, chairman of the ISR Leadership Summit, praised Reddy’s work during the ceremony, saying, “Siddu is doing an incredible job. He’s built schools and made an immense impact, not as part of his business but because he genuinely cares. This isn’t a corporate social responsibility initiative—it’s Individual Social Responsibility. He’s doing this from the heart, and that’s what makes it so powerful.”

The ISR Leadership Summit & Awards, held at Westminster Chapel, brought together business leaders, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs from across the globe. The event honored individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to society through innovation, leadership, and social responsibility.

Reddy’s work extends beyond education alone. In collaboration with actor and humanitarian Sonu Sood, he has been actively involved in healthcare and disaster relief efforts, further broadening his impact on underserved communities. His personal commitment to social causes has been instrumental in driving meaningful change in various sectors.

Reflecting on the award, Reddy shared, “This recognition reaffirms my commitment to continuously work for the betterment of society. Every small step leads to change, and I am grateful to the ISR organisation for this honor and for motivating me to move forward with more determination.”

Siddu Reddy Kandakatla’s recognition as an Emerging ISR Leader underlines his dedication to social responsibility and education. With the upcoming launch of Kasturba Gandhi Patashala, his vision for providing quality education to underserved children continues to inspire and create lasting change.

The Old Cottonian’s Weekend celebration, to be held from October 18-20, 2024, marks a significant milestone in the school’s journey. It will bring together alumni from across the globe to celebrate the institution’s enduring legacy. The Honourable Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Mr. Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, will be the Chief Guest for the event, lending his presence to this historic celebration.

This weekend guest will witness a music concert by renowned singer Akriti Kakar on October 18th. The concert will be preceded by a performance from the BCS School Band, which will serve as the warm-up act. The following day will feature a spectacular Son et Lumière light and sound show, showcasing rare archive images from the 1880s that depict the school’s rich history and diverse community. The multi-format show, projected on the school’s main building, will include performances by current BCS students.

The event will also include like every year, sports matches between alumni and the current school teams, a special chapel service, and the release of publications that commemorate the school’s 165-year journey.

Reflecting on the significance of the event, Henry Jodrell, Great Grandson of Bishop George Edward Lynch Cotton stated, “It is the greatest of honour to be invited by the OCA to tread in the footsteps of my great-great-great-grandfather, Bishop Cotton. His legacy is not a building but a place where teachers and pupils can share knowledge, make friends, and strive to overcome evil with good. The 165-year celebration is a magnificent landmark and testament to the achievements of those who went before and those that are a part of the school today.”

Simon Weale, Director of Bishop Cotton School, commented, “Bishop Cotton School is celebrating its 165th birthday. Founded in 1859, the same year that Charles Darwin published his book on the Origin of Species, the school has evolved from a small institution for middle-ranking British officials into a globally recognized Indian school.

This will be a celebration to remember.”

New Delhi [India] October 14: India has long grappled with the challenge of efficiently storing its abundant food grain harvests. Historically, India’s grain storage has been dominated by conventional warehouses and open-air (CAP) storage facilities. While these antiquated storage methods have served their purpose, they have also been prone to significant losses due to exposure to the elements, pests, and other environmental factors. In the ever-evolving world of agricultural storage solutions, grain silos have emerged as a game-changer, offering a multitude of advantages that transcend traditional warehousing methods. As the food sector navigates the challenges of increased productivity, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, these towering structures have proven to be the answer to a multitude of pressing concerns.

Keeping pace with the technological changes, the Department of Food & Public Distribution in collaboration with the Food Corporation of India has brought forth a promising solution – the creation of state-of-the-art Grain Silos through Public-Private partnership. This strategic move not only addresses the pressing need for improved storage infrastructure but also serves as a testament to the government’s commitment to strengthening the nation’s food security. The implementation of modern grain silos aims to mitigate the storage-related challenges and revolutionize the way India stores its vital agricultural commodities. Far more than just a storage facility, these towering structures have become the backbone of food security, offering a multitude of benefits that extend beyond their utilitarian purpose.

Optimizing Land Utilization:

One of the standout features of Grain Silos is their compact design. Standing tall at over 100 feet, these structures require significantly less land area compared to traditional warehouses. This compact footprint translates to substantial cost savings in construction and land acquisition, making them a more economical choice for the Government.

Automation and Mechanization:

Grain Silos are the epitome of modern, streamlined operations. With a fully automated and mechanized system, the handling of food grains is entirely automated, eliminating the dependence on manual labour. This not only reduces labour costs but also enhances efficiency, ensuring that the storage and processing of crops are carried out with precision and speed.

Bulk Handling and Cost Savings:

The bulk handling capabilities of Grain Silos offer a unique advantage. By storing and transporting food grains in bulk form, the need for costly gunny bags is eliminated. This saves a substantial amount of resources for national exchequers, as the mandi expenses associated with handling, cleaning, weighing, packaging, and transportation are significantly reduced.

Farmer-Friendly Benefits:

Grain Silos have proven to be a boon for farmers, who often face the challenges of the traditional mandi system. With the implementation of Silos, that are generally notified as ‘Silo Mandi Yard’ by the State Government, farmers can quickly sell their produce to agencies such as the Food Corporation of India (FCI) or State Procurement Agencies, without the need to wait for days to complete their transaction including payment. This frees up the farmer’s time and allows them to focus on their core agricultural activities.

Weatherproof Storage and Extended Shelf Life:

Grain Silos offer unparalleled protection against the elements, shielding the stored crops from the adverse effects of inclement weather. This safeguards the quality and nutritional value of the food grains, ensuring that they maintain their freshness for an extended period. Additionally, the controlled storage conditions within the silos contribute to a longer shelf life, further enhancing the overall storage efficiency and improving the storage life of country’s strategic reserve stocks.

Enhanced Food Security and Sustainability:

The widespread adoption of Grain Silos has far-reaching implications for food security and sustainability. By providing a reliable storage infrastructure, these structures facilitate the long- term preservation and distribution of staple food items, particularly in regions prone to shortages or famine. Furthermore, the efficient handling and preservation of grains promote sustainability by reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of the agricultural sector.

The government’s focus on developing silos has been a welcome step, as the initiative has primarily targeted the storage of wheat thus far. However, the true potential of this endeavour lies in its ability to expand beyond wheat and incorporate a diverse range of grains, including rice, maize, pulses, and millets. The diversification of the silo network to include a wider range of grains will have a profound impact on the government’s ability to address fluctuations in supply, weather patterns, and market dynamics, ultimately contributing to the country’s long- term food security and overall resilience of India’s food systems.

By creating state-of-the-art grain silos through public-private partnerships, the government has tapped into the expertise and resources of the private sector, ensuring the efficient and cost- effective development of these critical storage facilities. This collaborative approach not only leverages the latest technologies and best practices but also fosters a sense of shared responsibility in safeguarding India’s food security. As the country continues to make strides in this direction, the benefits will be felt across the agricultural value chain, from farmers to consumers. This strategic investment in storage infrastructure not only secures India’s food supply but also positions the nation as a global leader in sustainable and efficient food management.

Sunil Sood, Chief Growth & Partnership Officer, TimesPro said, “The Chief Executive Officers Programme is a unique, innovative and transformational initiative specifically tailored to empower Indian organisations to expand and grow while competing with the global elite. It is designed to cultivate agile, forward-thinking leaders who can steer their organisations toward sustained success. Learners will undergo a transformative experience, gaining critical business insights from their peers and learning new practices that will propel their businesses forward.”

The McKinsey Global Survey on new-business building reveals that an increasing number of CEOs are prioritising the creation of new revenue streams as their foremost strategic goal, highlighting the growing importance of innovation and diversification in sustaining business growth and competitiveness. Additionally, a Harvard Business Review indicates that 68% of CEOs admit they were not fully prepared for their roles, revealing a critical need for forward-looking upskilling.  A report by KPMG also reveals that 66% of Indian company CEOs and 70% of global CEOs consider generative AI as their top investment priority, underscoring the need for strategic advancement and market alignment.

The Chief Executive Officers Programme addresses this need by offering four intensive Masterclass sessions [Motivate like a CEO, Why CEOs Fail? An Indian CEO & Executive Presence], each designed to tackle the most pressing challenges faced by aspiring CEOs. These masterclasses provide a unique opportunity for participants to engage directly with industry experts and esteemed faculty, gaining valuable insights and practical advice. The programme will be conducted via TimesPro’s Interactive Learning (IL) platform and delivered in Direct-to-Device (D2D) mode with 126 hours of intensive training.
