Telangana Elections 2018

it was in 2001 , the statehood movement started . After many turns, twists, deceptions by multiple political parties - The state of Telangana was formed in the year of 2014.

The general election of 2014 saw a great wave of Mr.Modi across the country  and gave simple majority to a single party after decades.. NDA govt has been formed at the centre.

amidst this wave across the country, the new state of Telangana - has got a government of TRS party  led by        Mr. K. Chandrashekhar Rao , popularly known as Mr. KCR - the man who started the movement in 2001 and shown persistence till the Telangana State is formed.

4.5 years of existence as a new state and Telangana is undergoing its first elections - during this time, the state has got multiple recognition across the country and world through the radical and innovative initiations in the governance and welfare schemes. As with all governments, multiple opponent parties have raised many points which they think are detrimental to the interests of state and its people .

Some Highlights

# for the first time in the history of Independent India, we have a state with 24 hrs uninterrupted power supply to all consumers - households, industries, agriculture.


#A massive mission to make 1 crore acres in Telangana get irrigation facilities is underway . Historically Telangana is an agrarian society and most of the farmers are dependent on borewells - unviable and reason for many farmer suicides

#Entire supply chain in the agriculture sector is improved significantly
   - Investment support from govt
   - no queues for seeds
   - strict control on fertiliser quality
   - improved irrigation , 24hr power supply
   - exponential increase of godown capacity

each of these steps have made a huge difference to lives of farmers and they got their due respect

# Friendly and Quick Industrial policy
  - T Hub - future of employment is with startups and Telangana has the largest startup eco system supported by the govt
- quick approvals , availability of power , law and order made many largest organisations of the world to choose Hyderabad as their place.

above are the structural changes we have seen in the past 4 years , which will have a huge impact on the state's economy in coming years .

Apart from these - many initiatives in the Health and education sectors have made quality healthcare and education affordable to masses . Many private practitioners have seen their income levels go down.

the election in 2018 saw the highest activity among the states going for polls - largest amount of money confiscated, leaders of multiple political parties toured criss cross telangana ...

hopefully , telangana people choose a strong government which can take forward the strong foundation laid  and Telangana state continues to be the #1 state in the country .

A silent health revolution is on in Telangana. Government health systems are being strengthened. Backward, downtrodden and minority sections are being accorded priority. There is special focus on mother and childcare. This renewed focus is reflected in the number of patients visiting government hospitals – up by over 30% – and also in a steady decline of out-of-pocket expenditure by patients on private healthcare

2018 - what is in store ?

its been a long time and was thinking of writing for a while but could not start .. a new year brings in fresh energy and here am trying to put my thoughts on what could happen in 2018 ...

WORLD WIDE

# Artificial Intelligence (A.I) will come out from laboratories  and we get to see many applications rolled out in main stream areas - Banking, Health Care, Automotives and Agriculture . Governments will start putting more thought into what needs to be done in the age of AI to keep people occupied and able to earn .

# EVs and autonomous vehicles will continue to see increased traction and  world will move closer to the future of mobility - " Solar Powered Autonomous vehicles " 

# More nations will start taking concrete actions against Terrorism - US has started this by explicitly holding back funding to some of the nations 

India

# Many states are going for elections in this year and the central govt will want to keep itself in good books by going slow on the reforms 

# Rebound in Oil prices will start pinching the growth , impacts inflation upward 

# India will see more balanced political landscape with opposition gaining from its lowest appeal, confidence among the people of the country 

Telangana :

# The traction across the sectors (Infrastructure, Industry, Irrigation, Health Care , Education) will continue to bring holistic development 

# Agriculture based growth will start kicking in - courtesy, many of the irrigation projects getting completed 

# for the first time in the history of Telangana region - the society will see more divisions on the lines of caste  - courtesy, the support and funding from govt. for various facilities based on caste

# Hyderabad will be the city with fastest growth in the country (interms of software, Hardware, Start ups and Real Estate)

would like to revisit above in 2019 and see how close/wrong Iam with my predictions.

Happy new Year
