Question 1.
\nWrite about Telangana and its development.
\nAnswer:
\nTELANGANA :
\nTelangana became the 29th<\/sup> state of India on June 2, 2014. It was earlier part of the unified state of Andhra Pradesh. The state, which, at the time of formation, comprised 10 districts, is now divided into 31 districts for more efficient administration. Hyderabad, the largest city in the state, is the capital. Other important cities are Warangal, Khammam, Nizamabad and Karimnagar. Telangana is the 12th<\/sup> largest state in the country in terms of area as well as population, according to the 2011 census. The population is more than 3.5 crores. The literacy rate in Telangana is 66.46% as against the national average of 74.04%.<\/p>\n

The state has large tracts of land available as well as smaller parcels of land which are suitable for setting up factories and workshops for the production of auto components and spare parts as well as textiles. Telangana has large reserves of forest area. Apart from natural resources, Telangana also boasts of a significant amount of Software exports.<\/p>\n

Sectoral Composition :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Agricultural Sector<\/li>\n
  2. Industrial Sector<\/li>\n
  3. Services Sector<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I. Agriculture Sector :
    \nAgriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy of a state and is vital for inclusive growth. The Telangana Department of Agriculture was created mainly to provide Agricultural Extension services to farmers and to transfer the latest technical knowledge to the farming community. The state is endowed with bountiful resources, has good soils, diversified cropping patterns and major irrigation systems fed by rivers like the Godavari and the Krishna. Farmers in Telangana mainly depend on rainfed water sources for irrigation. Rice is the major food crop. Other important local crops are cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco.<\/p>\n

    Recently, crops used for vegetable oil production, such as sunflower and peanuts, have gained favour. There are varieties of soils ranging from fertile alluvial to very poor sandy soils. The various soil types include chalkas, red sandy soils, dubbas, deep red loamy soils, and very deep black cotton soils that facilitate the planting of mangoes, oranges and flowers. Red soils are predominant, accounting for 48 percent of the total area. Black cotton soils, alluvial soil, rocks and boulders account for 25 percent, 20 percent and 7 percent of the area, respectively.<\/p>\n

    Agriculture Vision :
    \nDespite the constraints, it is important to improve the agricultural situation in the state by duly harnessing the available agricultural potential and integrating it with technology and resources. To begin with, an attempt should be made to empower farmers in seed management and enable them to acquire good quality seeds at the right time and at affordable cost. Keeping in view the future requirements of agricultural production, a vision for Telangana has been framed as put forth hereunder :<\/p>\n
