\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\n
\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
\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\n
\n\u2713 Rainfed Area development (RAD) Component Under National Mission For Sustainable Agriculture. (NMSA).
\n\u2713 Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana. (RKVY).
\n\u2713 Soil Health Management.
\n\u2713 Sub-Mission On Agricultural Mechanization. (SMAM).
\n\u2713 Soil Health Card.<\/p>\n
\nTelangana is home to large industries in pharma, engineering goods and defence. Several major manufacturing and services industries are in operation including textiles and apparels, mines and minerals, automobiles, auto components, spices, horticulture, and poultry farming.<\/p>\n
\nThe government has framed many proactive policies to encourage the growth of industry in the state, the most important of which is the TS-iPASS ACT which was framed shortly after the formation of the state in 2014. TS-iPASS or Telangana State Project Approval and Self-Certification System is the new fast-track industry policy of the government of Telangana. It is a single window clearance system for new investors in the state. It provides applicants the right to timely clearances.<\/p>\n
\nTelangana’s services sector covers a wide variety of activities such as trade, hotel and restaurants, transport, communication, financing, insurance, real estate and business services. The services sector delivers “intangible” goods in all social and economic sectors in the state economy excluding broad agriculture and industry sector categories. The sector recorded strong annual average growth rate of more than 9% in the last decade. Real Estate and Business services is the leading subsector with a share of 15.6%, followed by the Hotels and Restaurants services with a share of 13.1%. Banking and Insurance stands at 6.6%. Some of the sub-sectors make huge indirect contributions. For instance, ‘transport and communications’ add immensely to infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\nWrite about Telangana Industries.
\nAnswer:
\nThe Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt, of India has classified industries into four categories based on the levels of pollution generated. They are : red 1 and 2, orange, green and white. Red category industries cause the most pollution and include fertilizers, pharma, tanneries, and refineries. In order to facilitate environmental clearance, the Telangana government decreed that only Red 2 category of industries would go to the government of India for clearance. 90% of applications could be cleared by the state government. The Telangana government has identified more than 1000 polluting industries in and around Hyderabad and is in the process of getting them shifted far away. Hotels, however, have been exempted.
\n<\/p>\n
\nOver the last few decades, Telangana has also become the hub of Information Technology. In the 1990s an exclusive software park for the I.T sector, the first of its kind in the country, was established near Hyderabad and is called the HITEC City (Hyderabad Information Technology and Engineering Consultancy City). The township is called Cyberabad. Leading IT companies like Facebook, Google, IBM, and Microsoft hold significant presence in Hyderabad. Even after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the I.T industry in Telangana has continued to flourish and today Telangana contributes 10% of the country’s exports in I.T.<\/p>\n
\nTelangana is a state which is rich in minerals. It contains 20 percent of the country’s coal deposits and is rich in limestone deposits that cater to cement factories. It has other mineral resources like granite, bauxite, and mica. The extensive coal reserves around Yellandu are excavated by the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd for power generation and industrial purposes. There are limestone deposits in the area, which are used by cement factories. Telangana also has deposits of bauxite and mica. Kothagudem, Jammikunta, and Palwancha are prominent industrial towns in the state. NTPC in Ramagundam is the largest thermal power plant in South India.<\/p>\n
\nTelangana has diversified its industrial base, with the thrust on high-tech sectors including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. A pharma city, one of the biggest in the world, is coming up in Mucherla, R.R district. The Telangana government has envisaged establishing a Life Sciences Infrastructure Fund which will be the first of its kind in the country. The Rs 1.000 crore fund will be used to create sophisticated infrastructure for the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices industries. Telangana already accounts for one-third of the pharma industry in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
