A Day of Pride and Reflection
June 2 marks the formation of Telangana, India’s 29th state, which came into existence in 2014 following decades of demand for statehood. The day is celebrated with pride across Telangana, remembering the sacrifices of those who fought for a separate identity and acknowledging the state’s journey over the years.
Since its formation, Telangana has made significant strides in various sectors including infrastructure, technology, agriculture, and education. The Statehood Day is observed as a public holiday, with official events organized by the state government and cultural programs held across cities and villages.
PM Modi’s Message Emphasizes Development
In his message, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the central government’s commitment to the development of Telangana. He underlined several initiatives taken to enhance the ‘Ease of Living’ for its citizens. While he did not list them in detail in the post, such measures over the past decade have included improved connectivity through national highways, railway modernization, digital infrastructure, and support for rural development and housing schemes.
Telangana’s Contribution to India’s Growth
Telangana, known for its dynamic cities like Hyderabad and a strong presence in sectors like information technology, pharma, and agriculture, has become one of the fastest-growing states in India. Hyderabad, the capital city, continues to be a global IT and pharmaceutical hub, attracting both domestic and foreign investment.
The state has also focused on welfare programs like Mission Bhagiratha (to provide safe drinking water), KCR Kit (for maternal care), and Rythu Bandhu (for farmer support), which align with national development goals.
Celebrations Across the State
Across Telangana, Statehood Day was marked with vibrant celebrations. Government offices, schools, and public places were decorated with flags, flowers, and posters celebrating the spirit of Telangana. The Chief Minister and other state leaders also addressed the people, reiterating their commitment to inclusive growth and development.
Cultural performances showcasing Telangana’s folk traditions, songs, and dances were held in several districts. The state’s rich heritage, language, and customs were proudly highlighted in events aimed at bringing communities together.
A Vision for the Future
As Telangana steps into its second decade as an independent state, both the central and state governments have pledged to work hand-in-hand to achieve sustainable growth. The focus remains on creating more employment opportunities, improving education and healthcare, and boosting industrial and agricultural productivity.
PM Modi’s greeting serves as a reaffirmation of the Centre’s support and partnership in Telangana’s progress. The Prime Minister’s warm wishes also reflect the importance of regional pride and national unity in India’s diverse federal framework.
