Met an inspiring inclusion advocate, Raghu Duth Degala. As the Founder & CEO of Hyderabad-based Kaiteki Innovations, Raghu is developing innovative assistive technology solutions that promote accessibility, dignity and independence for differently-abled persons. The last time I meet Raghu was back in 2023 @THubHyd His pioneering work recently earned recognition at Vande Bharatam 2026, where Kaiteki Innovations was selected among the Top 10 innovators from over 26,000 applications nationwide and received the Special Category Award – Disability, carrying a prize of ₹11 lakh. The company’s flagship innovation, the GUKO Bidet, comes in both hand-actuated and foot-pedal-operated versions, making personal hygiene more accessible and enabling greater independence for differently-abled and the elderly. Raghu’s inspiring journey and commitment to transforming everyday challenges into practical, affordable and inclusive solutions deserve appreciation. Congratulations to Raghu and his team! Wishing them continued success in their mission to make accessibility a reality for all.

నాదర్‌గుల్‌లోని ఎంవీఎస్ఆర్ ఇంజినీరింగ్ కళాశాలలో జరిగిన ప్రమాదంలో ఇద్దరు విద్యార్థులు మృతి చెందడం తీవ్ర దిగ్భ్రాంతి, ఆవేదనకు గురిచేసింది. మృతుల కుటుంబాలకు నా ప్రగాఢ సానుభూతి తెలియజేస్తున్నాను. ఈ ప్రమాదంలో గాయపడిన విద్యార్థులు త్వరగా కోలుకోవాలని ఆకాంక్షిస్తున్నాను. వారికి మెరుగైన వైద్యం అందించాలని కోరుతున్నాను.
