Telangana can become USD 1 trillion economy in 10 years with people’s support: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy

Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri (Telangana), June 6 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday evening said that the state can become a USD 1 trillion economy within the next ten years if the people extend their cooperation.
He was addressing a public meeting after laying the foundation stone for various development works worth Rs 1,051.45 crore in Tirumalagiri village of Aleru constituency in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister stated that his government is committed to inclusive development and will ensure that the poor are actively involved in the state's reconstruction.
He stated that efforts are being made to transform Telangana on par with developed nations like Japan and Singapore. Revanth Reddy highlighted that for the first time in a hundred years, a caste census has been conducted in the country, and the survey revealed that 56.36 per cent of the population belongs to weaker sections. In response, the government has implemented 42 per cent reservations in education and employment.
As part of women empowerment initiatives, the Chief Minister said that the government is not only providing free bus travel to women but also distributing 600 buses to self-help groups to enable their participation in business ventures.
He added that women have been entrusted with the management of Indira Mahila Shakti canteens, petrol pumps, Amma Adarsh Schools, and the stitching of school uniforms. He further announced that 4.5 lakh Indiramma houses have been sanctioned for the poor and noted that many families have already been residing in these homes.
Revanth Reddy said that his government is taking steps to develop the Aler constituency in all aspects and assured the completion of the Gandamalla reservoir under any circumstances. He announced that Young India Integrated Residential Schools are being established in 100 constituencies at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore, to provide quality education to students from SC, ST, BC, and minority communities.
The Chief Minister also stated that 60,000 jobs were created in the government sector, and another one lakh jobs were generated in the private sector within the first year of his administration. He pledged to clean the Musi River and fill it with water from the Godavari River.
Criticising the previous government, he questioned the lack of progress in the SLBC and Dindi irrigation projects despite spending Rs 2 lakh crore on irrigation over the past decade. He announced that a Yadagirigutta Temple Development (YTD) Board will be constituted on the lines of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Board to manage temple affairs and that the local medical college will be upgraded to university status like Padmavati Mahila University in Tirupati.
He also stated that educational institutions in the area would be developed into nationally recognised universities. Referring to past restrictions, he said that his government had lifted the ban on devotees staying overnight at Yadagirigutta and made necessary arrangements for hill access.
