Telangana Kendriya Vidyalayas

The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan or 'Central School Organisation'(as previously known), oversees the functioning of the schools with its headquarters in New Delhi. The administration of this body is based on three levels. The chairman of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is always the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Education of the Government of India; the deputy chairman is the Minister of State of the Ministry of Education. The real working power lies with the Commissioner of KVS.

The foundation of KVS was laid on December 15, 1963, with the establishment of the first Kendriya Vidyalaya in Delhi. It is a non-profit organisation. Its schools are all affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

With the army starting its own Army Public Schools, the service was extended but not restricted to all central government employees.

KVS is one of the world's largest school chains, with 1,249 schools in India and three abroad.

Lacquer or lac bangles of Hyderabad

Lacquer, or lac, bangles of Hyderabad are a traditional type of handcrafted bangle that originated in the city of Hyderabad, India. They are known for their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and use of lacquer, a natural resin from the lac insect.

In March 2024, the lac bangles of Hyderabad received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag. The GI tag is intended to help uphold quality standards and encourage innovation in design.

The process of making lac bangles involves melting the lac into a soft dough, fitting it onto a metal ring, and then pressing and rolling it into the shape of a bangle. Women then embellish the bangles with stones.

Lac bangles of Hyderabad date back to the era of the Qutb Shahis and the Nizams. Lac bangles are mainly found near Charminar at Laad Bazaar, an old market for bangles in Hyderabad known for their dazzling stonework.

Laad Bazaar is located in the heart of Hyderabad’s old city, which is spread around the iconic Charminar. It is always colourful and bustling with activity, particularly during Ramzan. Laad Bazaar was built by the Qutub Shahis, who founded the city of Hyderabad in the 1590s. A popular story credits the establishment of Laad Bazaar to Sultan Mohammad Quli Qutub Shah, who set it up to provide bridal trousseau for his daughter’s wedding. Even in modern times, the market continues to trade in a variety of items that are a part of the standard wedding trousseau, including bangles, bridal wear and jewellery.

The bangles sold at Laad Bazaar are manufactured locally. They are made in small karkhanas (workshops) tucked away in narrow lanes or attached to the rear of bangle shops. For my documentation work, I got in touch with Jaffarbhai, who works at Khaja’s Bangles Store, established by his grandfather in 1957. Since then, three generations of his family have been involved in the craft of bangle-making. It must be noted that many women and children are employed as manual labourers in this industry, particularly in the Talab Katta area around the Charminar. Because of this, karkhana owners are not always willing to allow outsiders in their premises. Though they were initially hesitant, Jaffarbhai eased up to my presence after my frequent visits, and gave me access to their karkhana. Here, I was able to witness, first-hand, the various techniques and skills involved in bangle-making, as well as the condition of the living spaces of the craftsmen working here.

Most karkhanas are integrated with the craftsmen’s residences, where they live with their extended family, many of whom also receive hands-on training from childhood. This is how the skills and knowledge are passed down through generations in the same family. The hardware and tools needed for the craft are relatively simple and are usually custom-made locally. The raw materials used in the production of bangles are sourced from outside the state. Thankfully, the demand of the bangles has grown over the years, particularly since the 1980s. There are currently around 4,000 craftsmen working in Laad Bazaar market. However, Hyderabad is not the only city which has a legacy of bangle-making in India. They are also produced in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, where the industry specialises in the making of glass bangles. Though glass bangles are also made in Hyderabad, the speciality of Laad Bazaar is bangles made of lacquer. In fact, it is believed that Laad Bazaar derives its name from ‘lac’, which is the local word for lacquer.

Lac is a resinous secretion produced by the Kerria lacca insect, and the raw material is sourced from the kusum tree on which the insects are farmed. The lac is purchased from dealers in its raw form and then processed, coloured and worked into various designs using a technique of slow heating. The bangles are then decorated with various glass and bead embellishments.

These finished bangles are then packaged and sold at the shops in Laad Bazaar, where customers can mix and match bangles according to their liking. Surplus bangles are exported to international markets in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, and Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.

Other than organised wholesale markets like the one at Laad Bazaar, bangles are also sold through the unorganised sector, which is heavily dependent on business during the various melas that take place in Telangana during major Hindu festivals. One such important festival is Bonalu Jatara, which falls in the month of July/August. Mobile vendors and small-traders of bangles congregate at processions around various Hindu temples scattered in Hyderabad, Secunderabad and other regions in Telangana, which are attended by lakhs of people from across the state. On these occasions, women purchase new bangles from the fairs, not only for themselves, but also as offerings to the goddess Mahakali. The bangles are offered along with jaggery and specially cooked rice in an earthen pot adorned with neem leaves and turmeric. This offering is known as bhojanam, from which the festival Bonalu gets its name.

Tandur red gram

Tandur red gram is a variety of pigeon pea (Tur dal) that is grown in the Tandur region in Vikarabad district of Telangana, India has got geographical indication (GI) tag.

The Geographical Indication tag was granted in December 2022 to the Yalal Farmers Producers Company Ltd, which had applied for 'Tandur red gram' with the support of Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU). It is the first agricultural commodity in the state to get the GI tag.

The specialty of the Tandur red gram is that it "tastes better, cooks faster and has a longer shelf life of cooked dal" as it is grown in the fertile deep black soil of this region which has huge deposits of Attapulgite clay mineral along with huge limestone deposits.

Tandur red gram contains around 22–24% protein, which is almost three times the protein content of cereals.

Individual farmers and dal mill owners in Tandur will now have to register themselves as authorized users and begin branding Tandur red gram with the GI tag to secure better prices, as the tag is a guarantee of quality. Approximately 63,500 households in the area are currently engaged in Tandur Red Gram farming.

The perennial legume known as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) belongs to the Leguminaceae family (Fabaceae). It also goes by the names pigeonpea, arhar, and tur. Since its introduction in India at least 3,500 years ago, its seeds have spread throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America and are now a staple food grain. It is mostly consumed on a huge scale in south Asia and is a significant source of protein for those living there.
Importance:

Red gram is a staple meal with high in protein.

1. It has a protein content of roughly 22%, which is nearly three times that of cereals.
2. A significant portion of the country's vegetarian population's protein needs is met by the red gram.
3. Due to the complementary nature of the necessary amino acids, when wheat or rice is coupled with red gram, the biological value increases significantly.
4. Lysine, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, and iron are particularly abundant in them.

The major markets for this crop in Telangana are Badepalli, Devarakadra, Gadwal, Mahabubnagar, Narayanpet, Sadasivpet, Zaheerabad, Suryapet, Tandur and Warangal. The major markets in neighboring states are Kadiri, Narsaraopet, Tiruvuru, Kurnool, Yeminiganur and Ongole in Andhra Pradesh, Gulbarga, Sedam, Yadgiri, Bidar, Bijapur, Bellary and Bagalkote in Karnataka, and Akola, Latur, Jalgaon and Nagpur in Maharashtra.

In Telangana major redgram growing districts are Vikarabad 57660 ha (142480 acres), Sangareddy 33757 ha (83416 acres), Narayanpet 31177 ha (77040 acres), Adilabad 23051 ha (56961 acres) Asifabad 15107 lakh ha (37329 acres), Mahabubnagar 9044 ha (22348 acres) and Rangareddy 7137 ha (17635 acres). According to Telangana State Government 2nd advance  estimates, redgram production in 2022-23 is at at 2.06 lakh tonnes from 2.28 lakh ha (5.63 lakh acres) with productivity of 903 Kg/ha (365 Kg/acre).

World major redgram producing countries are India (42.80 lakh tonnes), Malawi (4.24 lakh tonnes), Myanmar (3.39 lakh tonnes), Tanzania (1.36 lakh tonnes) and Haiti (1.23 lakh tonnes).

Puttapaka Telia Rumal

Puttapaka Telia Rumal meaning "Oily kerchief" is a double ikat textile from the village of Puttapaka, Narayanapur Mandal in the Nalgonda district of Telangana, India. Puttapaka is now on the global map after securing the coveted Geographical Indication tag in 2015.

The style developed in Chirala, on the coast of Andra Pradesh, with the earliest recorded pieces made in the 1800s, but spread further to the Nalgonda District due to high demand from Arabic markets. Presently, the village of Puttapaka, Nalgonda District is one of the few places still weaving the telia rumal. There, the Gajam family have been keeping the skill alive.

The more common single form of ikat is a process where the warp or weft yarn is resist-tied before being dyed and then woven. (‘Resist dying’ uses various methods — in this case, tied-off sections of yarn — to dye textiles with patterns.) Single ikat is found in many places around the world, but double ikat is more rare, requiring a high degree of work and precision found in only a few places, particularly in Japan, India and Bali.

Telia Rumal can be literally translated to mean ‘oiled/oily kerchief’. First to explain Telia – the word ‘Telia’ is derived from Til (sesame)/Tel (oil) since the yarn for the textile is treated with castor ash, sesame oil and sheep dung (yes!!) for longer colour retention. The entire method of processing the yarn takes about 21 days. The well-oiled threads help retain moisture. 

The term ‘Rumal’ refers to a square kerchief or scarf. The oil in the scarf protects the skin from dryness when worn in the extreme desert climate of the Arabian lands. The same turban keeps the head warm in winters. The liberal use of oil makes the fabric soft and renders a distinct smell to the same. The men in the Middle-Eastern countries fashioned keffiyehs or turbans out of the Telia Rumal. 

In India, it was used by the fishermen as a lungi (loin cloth) because the oily cloth repelled water. It was also believed that the red colour and the oily fragrance attracted the fish and the fishermen thus would never return without a catch. It was also used by Nizams and wealthy Zamindars of Telangana for turbans as a symbol of their power. This explains the power statement made by Sheikh Chand in Ankur by sporting the Telia Rumal.

Telia Rumal is a unique tie and dye technique that uses oil for the treatment of the yarn that helps it retain softness and has a distinct smell of gingelly oil. The earlier patterns used to be strictly geometric or vegetal patterns due to the preference of the patrons, but after 1930s the craftsmen started incorporating figurative elements like lions, elephants, birds, clocks and even aeroplanes, which required better weaving skills. It is no longer handkerchief-size pieces that connoisseurs can buy. The families involved in weaving now create saris, dupattas, dress materials and other made-to-order pieces with the same techniques and exotic patterns.

The Telia Rumal is essentially a double ikat weave. But, it is not just another double ikat weave. The elaborate treatment of the yarn prior to resist dyeing is what makes it special. Now, the question that arises in the minds of the unversed is – what is ikat? Ikat is a word of Indonesian origin which means bind. It is a technique by which the yarn is tied as per the patterns required and then dyed. This yarn is then woven. When only the warp or the weft is tied and dyed it is called single ikat; when both the warp and the weft are tied and dyed, based on the pattern that needs to be evolved after weaving, it is called double ikat. It goes without saying that weaving a double ikat involves more skill; it is a more labour intensive and time taking technique. Double ikat textiles are still prevalent -largely in India, Japan and Indonesia. The Telia Rumal however goes a step ahead in establishing its distinctiveness; apart from the fact that it is a double ikat, its uniqueness is hidden in its name.

Gajam Govardhana is an Indian master weaver, known for his work in Ikkat dyeing in the Telia Rumal tradition, and for his handloom creations. In 2011 the government of India honoured him with the fourth-highest civilian award, Padma Shri.

Govardhana was born 1 September 1949 in the small village of Putapakka in the Nalgonda district of the south Indian state of Telangana. He heads the Padmashali family, which keeps the Telia Rumal tradition alive, and employs 500 weavers in the state. He runs Murali Sari Emporium, a favoured shopping place for celebrities such as Sonia Gandhi, Shabana Azmi and Sheila Dikshit.

He has set up a small museum in Hyderabad to showcase the craft and the skill handed down over generations. The museum is in a warren of lanes in the Dilsukhnagar area of the city. The museum is a tribute to artisans who have steadfastly held on to their craft in the wake of destruction wrought by industrialisation, powerlooms and synthetic dves. The museum has weaves created by Govardhan and his family members over the years, a library of books that detail the fabric traditions of India, clothes woven using similar styles from other parts of the world, hierloom designs, and a small loom to give an idea of the work of weavers. Govardhan and his familv has been creating Telia Rumals
for nearly 100 years and have breathed life into a dying dyeing style, weave and pattern. The name Telia Rumal comes from oiled kerchiefs.

The kerchiefs are used to cover the head in Gulf countries where the hint of oil in the cloth keeps the fabric cool. But before that, the handkerchiefs were gifts for lovers.

Making of the cloth

“The yarn is soaked in sheep dung for 17 days and castor oil kernels for 21 days before it is ready for dyeing,” says Govardhan sharing the secret about the cloth that’s claimed to be cool during summer and warm during winter. 

The yarn is one story, but how it is woven into a cloth is a lesson in perspective. Imagine a world in squares. In pixels. It is as if the Oxford checks came to India, flirted, danced and multiplied to become a riot of colours. 

One of the largest pieces he has created is a cotton spread that is 81 inches by 71 inches framed by a six-inch border of madder colour. “Created in 1983, for the Festival of India that travelled the world, the spreadcreated a global buzz for the fabric and people started coming to Puttapaka to see the process and buy cloth,” says Govardhan wearing a blindingly white sharply tailored shirt and trousers. 

He has worked with Suraiya Hasan. While Suraiva Hasan is credited with reviving Malkha and other fabrics, Govardhan has breathed life into Telia Rumal by imagining the pattern on saris, dress materials, carpets and wall hangings. He has showcased his work on the global stage. “This is an old tradition but nearly died out in Chirala. I started work on this in 1972. I began with rumals then I used the
rumal design and weaving method to create saris, dupattas, stoles, curtain cloth and bedspreads,” he informs.

Hyderabadi Haleem

Hyderabadi Haleem, a slow-cooked dish made with meat, broken wheat, lentils, and spices, holds a special place in Hyderabad's culinary landscape, especially during Ramadan. Introduced by the Arab diaspora during the Nizam rule, it underwent local adaptations, becoming a symbol of the city's rich gastronomic heritage.

Hyderabadi haleem originated in the Middle East and is popular in the Indian city of Hyderabad. The Middle Eastern version of haleem is mild in spices and does not contain lentils. It came to India in the Mughal kitchen during the time of Babur.

The 6000+ members of the Hyderabad Haleem Makers Association lobbied for and successfully secured a GI Tag for their dish in August 2010,  It is the first non-vegetarian dish in India to receive it. 

'Hyderabad Haleem' is a cherished meat delicacy deeply rooted in the traditions of Hyderabad, India, particularly during the sacred Islamic month of Ramzan. This rich, high-calorie stew serves as a perfect culmination to the day's fast, known as 'Iftar.' The fundamental components of wheat, ghee, and meat are meticulously combined in equal proportions to create this delectable dish. While these three ingredients form the core, a medley of aromatic spices, nuts, and fragrant Basmati rice further elevate the flavor and aroma of 'Hyderabad Haleem.' The finishing touch of garnishing and a generous drizzle of clarified butter infuses it with a distinctive brownish, golden-yellow hue. Slow-cooked to perfection, 'Hyderabad Haleem' boasts a smooth, paste-like consistency, making it an indispensable part of the 'Iftar' tradition during Ramadan in Hyderabad.

Haleem is traditionally slow cooked overnight, while two to three people are required to continuously stir it. The lentils, rice and the meat and spices are cooked separately. Thereafter they are combined and pounded together to achieve a unique paste-like consistency. Lastly, it is garnished with nuts, berista (caramelized onion), herbs like coriander and mint, green chillies and lemon juice.

Pista house, a famous Hyderabadi restaurant, established in 1997 has played a humongous role in popularizing Haleem all the more. Not only has Pista House come up with vegetarian Haleem to accommodate a wider crowd but has also made it available for foreigners by opening up branches in USA and Oman.

Although Haleem had reached Hyderabad during the reign of the sixth Nizam Mahbub Ali Khan, it only became Hyderabad’s own under the seventh Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan in the first half of the 20th century. Sultan Saif Nawaz Jung Bahadur, a scion of Al-Qu'aiti dynasty of Yemen, then a prominent noble in the seventh Nizam’s court, all the more popularized the dish when he used it as the star of his dinner parties. 

Madina Hotel at Pathargatti, one of the oldest restaurants in the city, introduced Haleem to its menu in 1956, making this royal delicacy accessible to the common people of Hyderabad.
 

Arabic name: The Arabic name Halim or Haleem is a masculine name that means "gentle," "patient," "understanding," or "slow to anger". In Islam, Al-Halīm is one of the 99 names of God.

Persian word: The Persian word haleem means "oatmeal-like dish 

The dish is also known as Hareesa in Arabia and Armenia, Daleem in Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, and northern Iraq, and Khichra in Pakistan.

Harees or Jareesh, a predecessor to Haleem, is still sold in the Irani eateries of Hyderabad and is a staple in the streets of the area known as Barkas, famously called Little Arabia. This area once served as the Nizam’s military cantonment, housing mostly Chaush people (Hadhrami Arabs who settled in the Deccan region). The word Baraks finds its origin in the English word ‘barracks’. The name Barkas is also attributed to an area in Saudi Arabia called ‘ Wadiya Barkas’, the native land of a regiment serving as the Nizams’ esteemed bodyguards. This large settlement of the Arab population heralded the confluence of Arab food and culture with the existing Hyderabadi culture.

In contrast to Haleem, Harees would be considered rather bland. It does not contain the elaborate list of desi spices and desi ghee. Instead of Desi ghee, samneh is used, which is clarified butter made from sheep and goat milk, giving a very distinct greasy-meaty flavor. Harees have two variants: sweet and salty.

In Kashmir, Hareesa is a popular dish exclusively eaten during the winter months. Instead of wheat, short-grained rice is used for the preparation of the same. Caramelized onion is replaced by Kashmiri shallot and Desi ghee with mustard oil. It's eaten along with Kashmiri bread.

North Kerala consumes a sweeter version of Haleem called Aleesa or Alsa. Along with the ingredients used in a typical Hyderabadi haleem, coconut milk, sugar and raisins are a merry addition. From the 7th century onwards, Arab merchants traded on the Malabar coast. Many of these traders married local women, giving rise to the Mappila Muslim community. Hereon Arab dishes were inducted into the religion. Arabic cooking techniques were assimilated with the local spices and ingredients, birthing the distinct Mappila cuisine.

Among Bohras, a Muslim community from Yemen who settled on the coast of Gujarat around the 11th century, take pride in a haleem-like dish called Khichra. Khichra is not as spicy as Haleem and the meat pieces are not pounded and mixed as in the case of Haleem but rather left as tiny chunks. The city of Lucknow and the areas in its vicinity are also acquainted with Khichra

Primarily, haleem is associated with Islamic festivals. But to most people’s surprise, Jews from Persia have been eating Harees on Sabbath day (seventh day of the week, observed as day of rest) since medieval times. On the other hand Syrian Christians prepare it on the Feast of Assumption (marks Virgin Mary’s ascent to Heaven).

The world-famous Hyderabadi Haleem is an endowment of Arabic cuisine to this land but throughout the Indian subcontinent, we see various variations of the dish. Each region has added indigenous elements to the plain yet mesmerizing Harees. Nevertheless the basic structure and ingredients of the dish remain the same as Harees. Like a lot of many delicacies, Harees touched our lands, got accustomed to our palate and then became our very own Haleem.
