Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Tuesday said that plans have been finalized to scale up Telangana’s current economy from $200 billion to $1 trillion by 2034, and eventually into a massive $3 trillion economy by 2047.
The state’s economy has been categorized into three segments—’Cure, Pure, and Rare’—to kickstart planned and structured growth, he said, while attending as a chief guest during Telangana Formation Day celebrations at the local Police Parade Ground in Khammam.
Bhatti stated that the government has launched a novel initiative with an aim of providing social security to every family in the state, unmatched by even developed countries globally. The “Indiramma Kutumba Jeevitha Bima Pathakam” (Indiramma Family Life Insurance Scheme) will provide free life insurance worth Rs.5 lakh per family to 1.15 crore families in the State, without any distinction between poor, middle class, or rich.
He assured that this scheme would provide immense financial support to families during times of crisis when they lose their sole breadwinner. Vikramarka said.
He shared statistical details regarding the benefits delivered under the Abhayahastham program and the progress of Indiramma Houses in Khammam district. Under the first phase, monitoring is being done at the field level for the construction of 16,243 houses, and Rs.441 crore has been credited to beneficiaries’ accounts.
So far, 8,291 house-warming ceremonies have been completed. Soon, 2,000 houses per assembly constituency will be sanctioned transparently under the second phase.
A subsidy of Rs.41 crore was borne to provide gas cylinders at Rs.500 to 2,45,069 beneficiaries in the district. Free travel for women in RTC buses resulted in savings of Rs.303.55 crore in the district.
Subsidies worth Rs.236.60 crore were provided to 2,50,204 families for free electricity up to 200 units while 59,448 new white ration cards were sanctioned, bringing the total to 4,70,591 cards through which fine rice (Sanna Biyyam) is being distributed.
Vikramarka made a major announcement regarding a free nutritious breakfast scheme across the state for government school students from Pre-Primary to Intermediate levels, starting from the upcoming academic year (2026-27).
The goal is to ensure that no child in Telangana goes to school on an empty stomach. In Khammam district, 61,065 children across 1,187 schools and 6,300 Intermediate students will receive breakfast along with mid-day meals.
