    Andhra Pradesh: App-making easy for this 11-year-old AP expert-kid

    ANANATAPUR: How young is too young for anyone to develop a mobile application? For 11-year-old Gandham Deeraj, the question is irrelevant as he has turned himself into an app-maker by developing three mobile applications before entering his teens.

    Deeraj, a class VI student, studies at a private school in Gorantla Mandal of Sri Satya Sai district. The apps developed by Deeraj have become quite popular as they are useful in daily life.

    One of the apps is a land measurement calculator and another is the ‘My Town Gorantla’ app, which was launched by the district collector Basant Kumar during Azadi Ka Amruth Mahotsav.

    This app contains details of government officers, hospitals, temples, statues, historical places, government and private schools, ATMs, colleges, etc located in Gorantla Mandal. Once the app is downloaded, all the information regarding Gorantla can be accessed easily.

    The third application he developed is meant for school students to reduce the weight of their school bags. It was released by Gorantla MEO Gopal Naik. The app, which is an interactive one, helps students to know what was taught in school and what homework was given. This particular mobile app secured first place in the district-level science fair.

    Want to be a space scientist, says Dheeraj

    The 11-year-old, who wants to be a space scientist, got attracted to computer technology as his father Gandham Sridhar runs a computer and xerox centre. With the encouragement of his parents and school headmaster Madhusudhan, Deeraj learnt coding and subsequently developed mobile applications.

    Speaking to TNIE, Sridhar said, “My son couldn’t go to school for two years during the pandemic. Hence, he focused on online learning.” “While preparing for the Rashtriya Military School entrance exam, he started learning to code online. Normally, students take 60 to 70 classes before they could start developing apps. But, Dheeraj started doing it after 12 classes.”

  • YSRCP suspends four rebel MLAs for cross-voting

    YSRCP suspends four rebel MLAs for cross-voting

    Amaravati (IANS) | Andhra Pradesh’s ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) on Friday suspended four rebel MLAs who voted for the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate from the MLA quota in the Legislative Council elections. The YSRCP announced the suspension of four MLAs a day after suffering a crushing defeat for one of the seven council seats under the MLA quota.

    While two of the four, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and Anam Ramanaraya Reddy, had already raised the flag of rebellion, the other two, Mekapati Chandrasekhara Reddy and Undavalli Sridevi, were identified after the MLC election results on Thursday.

    Interestingly, the action against Sridhar Reddy comes hours after he joined the TDP. YSRCP general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told mediapersons that the party’s disciplinary committee has decided to suspend the four MLAs. The decision has been taken after discussion with party president and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

    Sajjala alleged that TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu has bought each MLA for Rs 10 to 15 crores. He said the party took this action after it came to the conclusion that the four MLAs resorted to cross-voting.

    The YSRCP leader alleged that the four MLAs voted for the TDP candidate as they were lured with money by the TDP.

    In the 175-member assembly, the YSRCP has 151 members and was confident of getting the votes of four rebel TDP MLAs and the lone Jana Sena Party (JSP) MLA.
