Telangana's trillion dollar dream: A roadmap to 2047
1 2 3 4 Hyderabad: The aspiration for Telangana to evolve into a $3 trillion economy by 2047, fuelled by a steady 10% annual growth rate, reflects both strategic intent and bold ambition. According to economists and policy experts, this milestone is within reach—provided the state adopts forward-looking reforms, enhances sectoral productivity, and provides sustainability and inclusivity at the heart of its growth model. To realise this vision, the experts said Telangana must adopt a multi-pronged approach. Ensuring fiscal discipline, fostering sector-specific development, expanding robust manufacturing ecosystems, and embracing innovation across agriculture, industry, and services are key, they said. However, they also cautioned that setting targets alone is not enough, but the state must remain vigilant against repeating past mistakes and be guided by clear, actionable objectives rooted in long-term planning. Currently, Telangana contributes about 4% to India's GDP. Achieving a $3 trillion economy by 2047 would elevate its contribution to an estimated 10–12%. Within the state's current economic structure, agriculture accounts for approximately 17.3%, industry and manufacturing contribute 12%, and the services sector dominates with 66% of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). Strategic direction Professor Krishna Reddy Chittedi, assistant professor at the School of Economics, University of Hyderabad, underscored the need for a paradigm shift in govt policy. "Rationalisation of schemes, curbing unnecessary expenditure, and closing policy loopholes are imperative. Growth should not be overly concentrated in Hyderabad, even though it remains the primary economic engine," he emphasised. Boppana Nagarjuna, professor of international and industrial economics at the UoH, prefers Telangana to follow a transitional economic model similar to that of Vietnam. "We must decentralise manufacturing to towns and villages, empowering small businesses and tapping into the state's vast human resource potential. Kia Motors is a case in point—its global success was enabled by decentralised production. Telangana must also foster FDI partnerships with balanced ownership between the state and private sector," he said. S Mahendra Dev, chairman of Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister (EAC-PM), stresses the importance of sustainability. "Telangana's per capita income exceeds the national average, yet India's global economic standing highlights the need for inclusive and sustainable growth. Development policies must extend benefits to all regions and communities while prioritising environmental protection," he observed. Navika Harshe, an economist and former Young Professional in the erstwhile Planning Commission, draws lessons from global models. "Telangana must not only sustain its current 10% growth rate but also explore transformative growth strategies. Germany's shift from an agrarian economy to an industrial powerhouse, and Singapore's consistent 10% growth over decades, offer valuable roadmaps for long-term success," she said. In the agricultural sector, Professor Aldas Janaiah, VC of Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, outlines critical interventions. "To contribute meaningfully to the economic target, agriculture must grow at around 11% annually until 2047. This requires extending minimum support price to all major crops, improving storage and marketing infrastructure, and addressing farmer reluctance to continue in agriculture," he stressed. Asserting that digitalisation and mechanisation are key, he said, "Our university has launched a digital agriculture centre to promote Internet of Things and modern tools that will support farmers and gradually facilitate labour transition without sacrificing growth."

University of Hyderabad in spotlight after LHC bags ‘science Oscar'
HYDERABAD: The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics — often called the 'Oscars of Science' — has been awarded to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN, in which researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) have long played a key role, highlighting India's growing contribution to global science. At the heart of this international collaboration is the team led by Dr Bhawna Gomber at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Electronics Science and Technology, School of Physics. Her group made significant contributions to the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, one of the flagship detectors at the LHC. Explaining CMS's role within the LHC, Dr Bhawna Gomber told TNIE, 'CMS is a general-purpose detector, playing a crucial role in probing both standard model phenomena and physics beyond the Standard Model. In fact, both CMS and its counterpart ATLAS confirmed the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.' She added, 'Our team is involved in both physics analysis—particularly the search for dark matter using proton-proton collision data — and the development of firmware for the calorimeter trigger system, as part of the detector's Phase-2 upgrade.' The group's work spans cutting-edge domains including data analysis, trigger electronics, and high-energy particle interactions, contributing significantly to the success of the CMS project.

BRS moots declaring 400-acre Kancha Gachibowli land as Rohith Vemula Biodiversity Sanctuary
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has requested the State government to declare the 400-acre Kancha Gachibowli land abutting the University of Hyderabad (UoH) as protected land and name it after Rohith Vemula on the occasion of International Day for Biological Diversity observed on May 22 every year. Senior leader of the party and former MP B. Vinod Kumar asked the State government as well as the national authorities concerned to take a historic and symbolic step and declare the land which was once allotted to UoH as the Rohith Vemula Biodiversity Sanctuary. The UoH was not only a premier academic institution but also one of the richest urban biodiversity zones in the country. Its sprawling 2,300-acre campus is a living ecological reserve and it is home to over 734 species of flowering plants, 10 species of mammals, 15 species of reptiles and more than 220 species of birds, the BRS leader said on Thursday. The BRS leader also proposed forming an ecological management committee with representation from UoH students, faculty, ecologists and civil society, launching biodiversity education and justice-based awareness programmes within the sanctuary to engage students and citizens alike.
