This the second fire incident reported within a week. Students and the university security staff staying there struggled for nearly two hours to douse the flames, which started simultaneously at three places, killing wild animals in an area of eight to 10 acres. According to a university official, the fire broke out at 9.30 pm near the boundary towards the Nallagandla side. Some people living in the neighbouring area noticed the fire and alerted the university staff. "About 20 security guards and 15 to 20 students reached to put out the fire by 11:15 pm with the help of portable fire extinguishers. A fire engine also was called from Gachibowli which helped in completely putting out the fire," a university spokesman told IANS. Here are some horrifying pictures from the fire: The University of Hyderabad is spread over 2500 to 3000 acres and is home to several rare species of bird and wild animals like the spotted deer, wild boar, monitor lizard and Asian palm civet. <div type="image" title="51202df685b19f00181541134def6bb4" msid="75751869" hostid="261"></div> Students say the university witnesses six to seven fires every year but in light of the this being the second incident in two weeks, it has raised concerns about the safety of wildlife. <div type="image" title="007d42e903660e7a2e8b883e4ad1db0b (1)" msid="75751919" hostid="261"></div> The fire incident last week burnt dry grass across six to eight acres.

Students say the university doesn’t have basic fire safety mechanisms in place. On the other hand, the university authorities said they were trying to procure additional fire-fighting equipment to tackle such situations.

The cargo service – Amazon Air – will have two dedicated cargo aircraft with a capacity of 20,000 packages. India is now the third market after the US and Europe to be covered by the Amazon Air service. The dedicated freight service was first launched in the US in 2016 and the other market where Amazon tried Air was in the United Kingdom. First launched in 2016 in the US, the Amazon Air fleet consists of over 110 freight aircraft that covers more than 70 destinations across the world. To begin with, Amazon Air service in India will consist of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operated by Bengaluru-based <keyword id="681051" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="quickjet-cargo-airlines" source="Orion">Quickjet Cargo Airlines</keyword>. It will initially cover four cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. “Amazon Air comes to India at an important time. Our investment in Amazon Air will only further improve the delivery experience for our customers in India. Moreover, the launch will support over 1.1 million sellers in India, enabling growth for ancillary businesses such as transportation and aviation,” said Akhil Saxena, President – Customer Fulfilment (APAC, MENA &amp; LATAM), Amazon. Curiously, while the service is branded Amazon Air, the aircraft still sport the Prime Air branding. Prime Air looks after drone delivery services and was launched in 2022, serving Texas and California in the US. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="More flexibility, faster deliveries" comment="subhead" text="More flexibility, faster deliveries">More flexibility, faster deliveries</cmsannotation> According to the company, its dedicated cargo service allows it to be more flexible with cargo shipments, since it now has two dedicated freight aircraft in its control and won’t have to rely completely on cargo services of airlines. <div type="image" title="IMG20230123125012_2" msid="97246513" hostid="261" sizebytes="73842" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The cargo aircraft being used by Amazon&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While Amazon said that this will reduce the delivery times and allow it to be more efficient, it did not exactly specify how much the delivery times will reduce by. However, it said that the Air cargo service will enable customers to order products a little later in the evening and still expect next-day delivery. Amazon has already invested $6.5 billion in India and the latest expansion of its services in the country should come as no surprise – it has over five million Amazon Prime subscribers and India is one of the biggest and fastest growing overseas markets of the company, according to a Bernstein report. The report also states that customers from Indian metros tend to be sticky, meaning they come back for repeat orders, which explains why the Amazon Air service has been launched in four metros to begin with. However, unlike its logistics service which is open to other e-commerce companies, Amazon Air will only be for Amazon’s own deliveries for now, the company said. The launch of Amazon Air in Hyderabad also comes as a shot in the arm for Telangana, which bagged ₹21,000 crore worth investments at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Hyderabad has also emerged as one of the favourite cities of Amazon – the city houses Amazon’s largest campus in the world, and Amazon has also committed an investment of ₹36,600 crore towards setting up a data centre under the Amazon Web Services business. Amazon currently has five fulfillment centres in Telangana, and 50 fulfillment centres across the country.

JNU attacks: IIT Bombay, Pune film university, National Law School and even the Oxford is protesting against JNU mob attacks

There is a common perception that life could be better only in metro cities, but India’s tier-II cities are developing fast and offering opportunities for growth. One such example is Bhubaneswar, which is slowly becoming a hub for research and technology startups in the eastern region. 
 

	Let’s read about a person who moved from Kolkata to Bhubaneswar, looking for more opportunities to grow. Young geneticist <keyword id="2872592" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Birendranath-Banerjee">Birendranath Banerjee</keyword> studies the effect of lifestyle stresses on one's genes at <keyword id="543180" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="KIIT-University">KIIT University</keyword> in Bhubaneswar. He was not happy teaching in his hometown Kolkata when KIIT offered him a job with a promise of complete intellectual freedom. KIIT was then in the initial stages of setting up a business incubator, and Banerjee in the early stages of setting up a company. It was a perfect match. The company, <keyword id="2872593" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="InDNA">InDNA</keyword>, was set up in 2012. In just three years, it is expanding to Kolkata, Hyderabad, <keyword id="6354321" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bengaluru">Bengaluru</keyword> and other cities. Banerjee got Rs 1 crore from the department of biotechnology, and Rs 2 crore subsequently from rich doctors in the region. 
	 

	He is talking to large companies to provide testing services for their employees, and to figure out how much stress has influenced the functioning of their genes. "We are looking at the effect of lifestyle on the entire genome," says Banerjee.
 

	InDNA is the most high-tech among the KIIT incubator companies. In the past four years, KIIT has invested Rs 15 crore in its building and Rs 10 crore in equipment, for which the DBT provided Rs 9 crore. It has incubated 34 companies, nine of which have moved out to their own offices and are in business. Bhubaneswar has other startups too, as the large IT companies have come to the city. With several institutes of higher education, including an <keyword id="6354859" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="IIT">IIT</keyword>, the city is slowly setting the foundation for becoming a hub for research and technology startups in the eastern region. Says Mrutyanjay Suar, director of biotechnology at KIIT: "Bhubaneswar is at the same stage where Bengaluru was in the early 1990s." 
	 

	With its sketchy business history and laidback culture, Bhubaneswar at first seems an unlikely birthplace for 21st century startups. None of its educational institutions has set the country on fire through its research. The city is well laid out but retains its rural charm, being on the edge of a large forest and an elephant trail. 
	 

	And yet there are signs of the city developing as a major eastern hub, as people of eastern origin started preferring the city to Kolkata. Consider IIT Bhubaneswar, one of the youngest among the country's elite institutions. It will eventually have a 1,000-acre campus, but it currently operates from a partially-abandoned government building, an environment that does not bother some of its young and distinguished faculty. 
	 

	Let’s talk about another person who fulfilled his dream in the city. 
	 

	Saroj Nayak returned from Rensselaer Polytechnic in the US a year ago to be a professor at IIT, despite several attempts by this famous institution to keep him back. Power cuts greeted him when he sat in his makeshift office, a situation he had never faced in his life. 
	 

	His answer was to make solar back-up system, which he now sells through his startup Karma. This unit, replete with a solar panel, a battery, a fan, phone charger and a light, sells for around Rs 4,500. Nayak also had a fair bit of intelligence built into the system for energy management. "We are trying to reduce the environmental impact of energy generation with minimal investment,” he says. The city is now sprouting luxurious new buildings, some of them built by large IT companies. <keyword id="6354512" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Infosys">Infosys</keyword> was the first, as it built its first campus outside Bengaluru. TCS has one of its swankiest offices in the city. MindTree has built a learning centre in Bhubaneswar right next to TCS, and sends all its new recruits for intensive training there. Chip design firm <keyword id="25700" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sankalp">Sankalp</keyword> too has a development centre here. Bhubaneswar has some native IT startups too. Software services firm <keyword id="2873029" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="ESSPL">ESSPL</keyword>, started in the city in 1998, has offices around the world. AABSys, a geospatial and design software services company founded in 1996, is now a medium-sized company. But the current generation of startups, particularly from KIIT, are venturing beyond IT and solving problems of people in the region.
