Tony Blair Lauds Telangana's Bold Vision for the Future

Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister, has expressed strong admiration for Telangana's bold growth strategy, 'Telangana Rising,' during a meeting with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in Delhi. The initiative focuses on significantly increasing the state's GDP from USD 200 billion to USD 1 trillion by 2035 and eventually reaching USD 3 trillion by 2047.

According to an official statement, this ambitious economic trajectory is underpinned by a series of strategic policy measures. The plan includes zoning strategies, significant infrastructural developments such as new transport links and urban expansions, and the creation of future-ready cities. These efforts aim to foster rapid industrial growth in areas like Hyderabad and beyond.

A Letter of Intent for collaboration was exchanged between the Telangana government and Blair's institute, TBIGC, indicating a shared vision for development. Reddy emphasized priorities including sustainable initiatives and holistic development across various societal sectors, while Blair expressed enthusiasm for projects like the Bharat Future City and educational advancements.
