Bengaluru, July 22, 2025:
Heartfelt tributes poured in today as the city remembered Shri P.K. Ranganathan, former MLA of Shanthinagar, on his 43rd death anniversary. Known for his simplicity, integrity, and inclusive approach, Ranganathan was widely respected for his commitment to social justice and is often referred to as the ‘Kamarajar of Shanthinagar’.

Throughout his political career, he worked tirelessly for the welfare of the underprivileged, transcending barriers of caste and religion. One of his most notable contributions was his bold intervention to halt the demolition of the Mayabazaar slum by military authorities. His courageous stand protected countless families, and in recognition of his efforts, the area was later renamed P.K. Ranganatha Nagar.

“On this solemn occasion, I offer my deepest respects and salute the legacy of this remarkable leader,” said G.S. Gopal Raaj, Editor of City Today News and Tj Vision Media.

IEEE Unveils First International MOVE Vehicle in India to Support Disaster Relief and STEM Education

Equipped with advanced tech and educational tools, the initiative aims to empower communities across India

Bengaluru, July 21, 2025: In a major step towards expanding its global humanitarian efforts, IEEE—the world’s largest technical professional organization advancing technology for humanity—has launched its first-ever Mobile Outreach Vehicle (MOVE) outside the United States. The MOVE India vehicle was officially unveiled today at the IEEE India Office, located in the World Trade Center, Bengaluru.

Designed to serve both educational and disaster response functions, the vehicle will provide critical communication and power support during emergencies and serve as a mobile platform for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education across India, starting with Karnataka.

“Having seen the real-world impact of the MOVE program, I’m thrilled to see it take root in India,” said Kathleen Kramer, IEEE President and CEO (2025). “This expansion reflects IEEE’s growing commitment to addressing regional needs—delivering vital emergency communication infrastructure while also inspiring young minds through STEM learning focused on climate action and disaster awareness.”

Built on a rugged Force Traveller chassis to navigate India’s varied landscapes, the MOVE India vehicle is equipped with an integrated solar and grid-powered system, a hybrid inverter, and a lithium-ion battery bank capable of providing up to 30 hours of uninterrupted energy. It also includes a comprehensive communication suite featuring Wi-Fi 6e, 4G connectivity, and HAM radio support, ensuring reliable communication during emergency situations.

The vehicle doubles as a mobile STEM lab, carrying interactive educational kits aimed at raising awareness about climate change, disaster preparedness, and sustainable technology. The outreach program is expected to reach over 100 schools annually, with plans to expand to other states.

Mary Ellen Randall, IEEE President-Elect (2025), added, “The MOVE India initiative is a breakthrough in combining immediate disaster response with long-term community education. It’s a vital tool in our mission to build resilient, tech-enabled communities.”

This launch marks a key milestone for IEEE as it extends its humanitarian and educational impact to new global territories, reinforcing its commitment to using technology for the greater good.
