Telangana has many goals to reach despite becoming strong economy says kcr

At the formation day celebrations, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao says the State started its journey facing several challenges, but has now become a role model for all other States.

Asserting that Telangana has become a strong economic force in the country overcoming the obstacles in a short span of nine years, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said that the State has several goals to reach in the coming days and that he would continue working for its all-round development.

The Chief Minister recalled how the State started its journey with several challenges staring in its face on an unclear path. But the commitment of his government in harnessing the potential of the State to its full extent ensured that Telangana is now among the top States in the country in several parameters.

From the initial days when the State faced obstacles like uncertainty in power and water supply and resource crunch, Telangana’s policies with a human face have become role models for the country with several States emulating them.

“The BRS government is completely aware about the aspirations of the people and therefore, it has designed its manifesto in accordance with them and trying to fulfil them,” he said. The Chief Minister launched the celebrations of the 10th year of Telangana formation at an impressive meeting organised on the Secretariat premises here on Friday. He unfurled the national flag and inspected the parade by Samman Guard before delivering the close to 90-minute address.

“The government started its journey with the slogan ‘create wealth and distribute it among the people’ and the State was now going through a golden era in welfare schemes,” he said.

Proactive policies

The proactive policies of the government ensured that the per capita income of the State which was at ₹1.24 lakh in 2014-15 increased to ₹3.17 lakh at present and the GSDP rose from ₹5.05 lakh crore to ₹12.93 lakh crore. “With three years of progress lost due to COVID-19 pandemic, the State achieved accelerated development in just six years,” the Chief Minister said.

The Chief Minister touched upon the government’s recent decisions like ₹1 lakh financial assistance to families of artisans, distribution of pattas of Podu lands to tribal families, distribution of house sites to poor and implementation of KCR nutrition kits scheme in 24 of the 33 districts in the State.
