Noted Economist and former member of the Planning Commission, Ch Hanumantha Rao today exhorted the Telangana Government to compete with globalised economy for a rapid growth and sustainable development. He expressed concern that six decades of Telangana had suffered a lot of embezzlement.
Addressing a three day training classes for TRS leaders including Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Ministers, MLAs, MLCs and ZP Chairpersons at Vijaya Vihar in Nargarjuna Sagar, Rao gave pat to the State Government for its flagship program of Mission Kakatiya to provide timely waters to rural farm sector besides strengthening Panchayat Raj system for proper development at rural areas. He also asked the leaders to focus on eradicating poverty through welfare and implementation of KG to PG Education, another scheme is helpful to overcome poverty. “During Rajiv Gandhi’s regime at the Centre we had a plan of replacing Planning Commission with another body for making changes which proved in vain”, he recalled. Now the need of the hour is to use IT and keep up to expectations of the people through jobs, mobilizing resources as Telangana geography is viable for making ample use of human sources, he added.(NSS)
