Telangana Rising Global Summit Kicks Off

The Telangana Rising Global Summit began today at Bharat Future City in Kandukur mandal, Rangareddy district, with a grand inauguration by Governor Jishnu Dev Verma.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy declared that Telangana Rising was unstoppable, and urged global investors and dignitaries to join the State's ambitious growth journey.

In his opening remarks, Reddy said that Telangana, India's youngest State, was brimming with opportunity. He outlined the government's goal of achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.

"Though the State accounts for only 2.9% of India's population, it already contributes around 5% to the national GDP. By 2047, I aspire for our contribution to reach 10%," he said.

He spoke about Telangana's unique CURE, PURE and RARE model - distinct zones for services, manufacturing and agriculture - while referencing Guangdong province in China as an example of rapid economic transformation the State aimed to emulate. The Chief Minister said that Telangana was drawing inspiration from China, Japan, Germany, South Korea and Singapore as it prepared to compete globally.

The two-day summit, spread across 100 acres, features 154 delegates from 44 countries and nearly 2,000 attendees. The government aims to use the summit to showcase Telangana's achievements, and invite global collaboration and investment.

Prior to the launch, the Chief Minister reviewed the stalls and unveiled a digital statue of Telangana Thalli.

Union Minister Kishan Reddy, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, ministers, legislators, film actor Nagarjuna, and several national and international representatives were present at the event.
