He highlighted reforms in welfare, agriculture, education, and women’s empowerment, while criticizing the previous BRS governance.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday, 2 June, outlined plans to transform Telangana into a one-trillion-dollar economy within the next decade and a three-trillion-dollar economy by 2047.
Speaking at the 11th Telangana Formation Day Celebrations at Parade Grounds in Hyderabad, the chief minister said that the plans to develop Telangana into an economic power house was in tune with the efforts going on to make India 30 trillion dollar economy by 2047— on the occasion of centenary celebrations of Indian Independence.
“Telangana Rising is our mantra. With transparent governance and your support, we will lead Telangana to unparalleled heights,” he said, urging citizens to join the journey.
The chief minster, looking back at the 10-year performance of the pervious BRS government, said that the people had rejected that party because it could not rise to the expectations of the people who wanted freedom, social justice and equal opportunities.
Addressing a large gathering, Reddy paid tribute to Telangana’s martyrs and expressed gratitude to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for fulfilling the state’s aspiration for separate statehood.
He said since assuming office on 7 December 2023, the Congress government has worked to rebuild Telangana’s economic and institutional frameworks, which he described as “chaotic and paralyzed” at the time of the Congress take over.
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but we have made the people’s aspirations our agenda, moving forward with determination to reconstruct Telangana,” he said.
Covering a wide gamut of the state government’s initiatives in various sectors, he said that guiding principle was development, welfare and inclusivity.
Revanth Reddy said that through the Indira Mahila Shakti Mission, the government has disbursed ₹21,000 crore in zero-interest loans to women’s self-help groups (SHGs) in its first year.
Listing out the government’s achievements, Revanth Reddy noted, “Women are being trained as entrepreneurs, managing solar power plants, petrol pumps, school uniforms, and Mahila Shakti canteens. The state has also set up 100 stalls at Shilparamam for SHGs to market their products globally.
“Free bus travel for women and ownership of 150 RTC buses by SHGs (with plans for 600 more) are empowering women economically. The Mahalaxmi scheme provides gas cylinders at ₹500, 200 units of free electricity, and Indiramma houses,” he added.
Referring to agriculture sector, he said, “The government waived ₹20,617 crore in loans for 25,35,964 farmers within eight months, provided 24-hour free electricity worth ₹15,333 crore, and increased Rythu Bharosa investment support to ₹12,000 per acre.”
“Landless agricultural laborers receive ₹12,000 annually. A ₹500 bonus for fine rice varieties has boosted production to 275 lakh metric tonnes, making Telangana the top rice producer in India,” he added.
The chief minister said the state government had appointed a Vidya Commission to elevate public school standards, introduced pre-schools, and increased mess and cosmetic charges in hostels by 40 percent and 200 percent, respectively.
“Young India Residential Schools are being built with ₹11,600 crore. In healthcare, ₹2,700 crore is allocated for a new Osmania Hospital, and Arogyasri offers up to ₹10 lakh in free treatment for the poor,” he added.
Revanth Reddy did not forget to mention his government’s cause of social justice. He said BC reservations in local bodies, education, and jobs have been raised to 42 percent following a caste census. “SC sub-caste classification has been legalized, and 4 February is declared Telangana Social Justice Day,” he noted.
He said the government has strengthened institutions by appointing Vice-Chancellors, reconstituting the Telangana Public Service Commission, and establishing Education and Agriculture Commissions.
The police force, ranked number one in the India Justice Report 2025, received a global award for its narcotics enforcement. Reddy reaffirmed support for national security, citing solidarity with the Union government post the Pahalgam attack.
