Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asserted that the Telangana Rising – 2047 is a vision document that has been conceived with an aim to build a robust Telangana where women, youth, marginalised and other sections are empowered to compete and meet the emerging challenges.
The document presents roadmap for investment in the future where people get social justice and are given equal opportunities, he added. “I am spending on welfare to create level playing field. I am investing in future to make people compete with developed countries like Germany, Japan, Singapore and others,” the Chief Minister said at the valedictory of the two-day Telangana Rising Global Summit on Tuesday.
The vision document was not prepared in the closed doors, but was reflective of the aspirations of the vast majority of people of the State. The government had involved all sections as stakeholders in the preparation of the document and over four lakh people joined the exercise online giving suggestions to the government, he explained.
Telangana, comprising 2.9 % of the population, was presently contributing to 5% of the country’s GDP. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi setting a target of US $ 30 trillion economy through Viksit Bharat, the government had decided to ensure that Telangana’s contribution rises to 10%, US $ 3 trillion, by that time.
