Telangana's minister for industries and information technology K.T. Rama
Rao has urged the Indian diaspora to support the state to continue the
progress.
Currently on a visit to the UK, the minister
addressed the Indian diaspora at a 'Meet and Greet' event in London on
Saturday. In his speech, he highlighted the achievements of Telangana
government in the past eight years.
KTR, as the minister is
popularly known, noted that the members of Indian diaspora have
supported the Telangana movement and have always promoted Telangana
wherever they are in the world. He thanked the Indian diaspora members
for their continued support.
He stated that the Telangana delegation had fruitful meetings with heads of various companies during the official visit.
"My
job is to promote Telangana and bring investment and create jobs for
the people of Telangana. We will establish deeper connections with the
UK in the days to come," a statement issued by his office in Hyderabad
quoted him as saying.
"If you are thinking of setting up your
company in Telangana, I urge you to think of setting up your offices in
tier II towns and not just Hyderabad," Minister KTR said.
"Contribute
back to your motherland by supporting us in creation of wealth,
employment opportunities, and ensure we motivate others back home. Let's
ensure the growth story continues," KTR said.
The minister
mentioned that the Telangana government has already inaugurated IT
Towers in Khammam, Karimnagar and will soon inaugurate IT Towers in
Mahabubnagar and Nizamabad. He also added that there is a great IT
sector presence in Warangal.
He highlighted that Kaleshwaram Lift
Irrigation Project (KLIP) was constructed in less than four years and
is providing water for irrigation to lakhs of acres. He stated that KLIP
is the world's largest lift irrigation project and everyone should feel
proud that it is in India.
KTR told the Diaspora that the world's largest Amazon campus is situated in Hyderabad.
He
said: "Google, Facebook, Micron, Apple, Qualcomm, Uber, Salesforce, and
Novartis -- all of their second largest campuses are in Hyderabad and
they all have come in the last six years. They have chosen Telangana
because of its stable leadership and able governance."
He pointed
out that Telangana's per capita income, which was Rs 1,24,000 in 2014,
rose by 130 per cent to Rs 2,78,000 in seven years. The GSDP, which was
Rs 5.6 lakh crore in 2014 grew to Rs 11.54 lakh crore during the same
period.
These are the numbers given by the Ministry of statistics and program implementation of Government of India.
"Telangana
is the 11th largest state geographically and 12th largest as per
population. But according to the Reserve Bank of India, Telangana today
has emerged as the 4th largest contributor to India's economic growth,"
KTR added.
