Telangana has become torchbearer for nation, says KTR

IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao said Telangana had emerged as a torchbearer for the entire nation by registering amazing growth in all fields.

Whatever the people had dreamt that the State would be after formation, Telangana has reached that position. Moreover, the State was going ahead in all fronts by overcoming all hurdles that prevailed in Telangana during the time of formation, he said.

Speaking at the Independence Day celebrations at the Integrated District Offices Complex, Sircilla, Rama Rao said Telangana, which emerged as a strong financial force, was playing a vital role in the growth of the country. This had materialized with the blessing of the people, the continuous struggle by public representatives and the commitment of government officials.

The State government, which introduced welfare schemes such as Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima and others to protect the interests of farmers, had also decided to waive off farm loans. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had taken a decision to this effect and the process would be completed in the next 45 days. Moreover, Telangana was the only State providing 24 hours free electricity to the agriculture sector.
