I am talking about the Transstroy scam. This scam is reported of a huge amount of ₹ 7,926 crores.  First let's talk about Transstroy.  Transstroy is a company from Hyderabad. It was incorporated in 2001 and it had interests in the infrastructure sector. And considering one of the directors happened to be a former MP from Andhra Pradesh, they had no problems accessing loans and government contracts. But there are many allegations surrounding the company right off the bat. In fact, when Transstroy bagged the ill- fated Polavaram irrigation project in Andhra Pradesh, many cried foul over the decision. It was alleged that Transstroy and its Russian joint venture partner had submitted fake documents, claiming they had built dam

Education is about organizing the natural longing in a human being to know"        - SADHGURU Education, a process everyone has the right to enjoy. Education should be the activity of learning new skills, values and gaining knowledge but the education system and the society has made it more like a competition and a race. Sadhguru in one of his interviews in the London School of Economics was questioned on the part of competition in the modern day education and on the race of being the first in the class.

She then entered the Velliyar river in Malappuram, standing in the water for hours where she eventually died hours later, despite efforts to rescue her. The fruit was indeed planted by humans but it was not for the elephant, the pineapple was kept for the wild boars that come and destroy c
