My dream is to makeTelangana gateway to the world: CM Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, June 2 : Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Tuesday that his dream is to position the state not merely as a gateway for the nation, but to the entire world and that the roadmap to achieving this vision is mentioned in the ‘Telangana Rising – 2047’ document. Addressing the Telangana Formation Day celebrations at Parade Grounds here, he stated it is the firm resolve of “people’s government” that Telangana should emerge as a one-trillion US dollar economy by 2034, and a three-trillion-dollar economy by 2047. The Chief Minister said that to the best of his knowledge, a single master plan encompassing an entire state does not exist anywhere else in the country. Telangana Rising – 2047 Vision Document has classified the state into three categories — CURE, PURE and RARE. “We are adopting a three-tiered strategy for development. We designate the region situated within the Outer Ring Road surrounding Greater Hyderabad as the “CURE” zone. We are transforming this area into a world-class services hub.” The Chief Minister stated that the primary objective of this plan is to develop this region as a completely eco-friendly and pollutionfree zone. “We have introduced the HILT Policy to facilitate the relocation of polluting industries to areas situated beyond the Outer Ring Road. Furthermore, the government is actively promoting the adoption of electric vehicles(EVs). We are providing exemptions on registration fees and road taxes in addition to the lifetime tax for electric vehicles.” The government is constructing a Regional Ring Road on the lines of the Outer Ring Road. It has developed plans to transform the PURE (Peri-Urban Region Economy) zone situated between these two ring roads into a vibrant hub for infrastructure and manufacturing. “We are developing ‘Bharat Future City’ — a Greenfield Smart City in 30,000 acres. Regional connectivity will be strengthened by developing Shamshabad as a bullet train hub.” He said that RARE will constitute the very heart of Telangana’s DNA. “Agriculture and agro-based industries fall within the purview of this zone. This region extends from the Regional Ring Road right up to the borders of Telangana. Initiatives concerning irrigation, the development of agro-industries, agricultural research, crop diversification, and similar aspects will be driven through the industries and research centres established within this zone.” Stating that the state government is giving equal priority to development and welfare, he claimed that Telangana is the only state implementing numerous welfare schemes and standing as a role model in the country.
