Telangana has become modelstate through strongleadership, says KTR
Hyderabad: If there is strong leadership and commitment towards the people, any state can progress, and Telangana stands as an example of that, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said during the eynote address on 'Why Telangana Matters: Steady Growth and Navigating the Global Economic Landscape' at the Bridge India Week 2025 conference in London on Friday. He added that in its nine years of rule, the BRS had become a role model for many other states in India. He said that the BRS' leadership is a testament to what resolute leadership and a sincere commitment to transforming lives can accomplish. He shared insights into the revolutionary policies and transformative changes introduced by the BRS govt in the development and welfare sectors. He said that Telangana's distinction lies not only in generating wealth, but also in ensuring its equitable distribution among the most marginalised sections of society. "Under KCR's leadership as chief minister, the BRS govt achieved an exemplary balance between welfare and development, implementing progressive initiatives unmatched in India's post-independence history,' said the BRS working president. KTR explained how Telangana rose from 12th position to the top spot in terms of per capita income, offering a model for other Indian states to emulate. He said that the BRS govt prioritised policies over individuals, minimised bureaucratic interference and made governance more accessible to the public. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fogo de Chão: a experiência máxima do churrasco Fogo de Chão Clique aqui Undo He noted that decentralised decision-making and openness to revolutionary reforms set Telangana apart from other states. He described the Kaleshwaram project as an engineering marvel comparable to China's Three Gorges Dam. As the world's largest multi-stage lift irrigation project, it pumps water 80 metres above sea level to irrigate 4.5 million acres per season. In a country where providing clean drinking water to every household remained a distant dream, Telangana achieved this goal through the Mission Bhagiratha scheme. He also discussed Telangana's economic growth, highlighting its 156% increase in per capita income within a decade. This has elevated the state from 12th position in 2014 to first place by 2023. He credited the BRS' industry-friendly policies and the TSiPASS scheme with attracting global tech giants and generating employment. Employment opportunities for local young people increased, with jobs in the IT sector rising from 3,23,000 in 2014 to over one million by 2023. IT exports, valued at Rs 56,000 crore in 2014, surged to Rs 2,41,000 crore by 2023 — a testament to KCR's visionary leadership, he said.
