Dr Durga Prakash Devarakonda is a classic Indian success story - Born in rural Andhra Pradesh, he went on to create a record as the youngest Indian to complete all Microsoft certifications at the age of 21, even receiving an award of appreciation from Bill Gates himself.

Dr. Devarakonda’s story (or DP as he’s fondly known as) began in South India. He lost his father when he was just one year old. His mother, who had studied till 5th grade, became a pensioner. With limited scope, he studied in local medium and government schools with guidance from his three elder brothers. Academically brilliant, he managed to complete his Electrical Engineering and later went to Udupi for a Master’s degree in Information Technology.

At the young age of 21, when digital technology in India was still in a nascent stage, DP had completed every possible computer exam and certification. He soon got a call from Europe to be part of JD Edwards ERP Development and worked with the world’s largest Re-Insurance form MunichRE, developing end-to-end software for their Reinsurance business. His name became synonymous in the Global Reinsurance Industry as he built some of the most complex algorithms to predict the risk to underwrite any possible risk, irrespective of insurance that the MNCs were offering.

His passion for Mathematics and Critical Thinking was recognised by top European authorities. He spent the next 25 years in Senior Leadership Roles with Global MNCs such as CapGemini, Oracle, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, and Temenos.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
