TELANGANA PROFILE

1.0 Historical Journey

1.1 State Profile

1.1.1 Language

th ndTelangana is the 29 youngest state in Union of India, formed on 2 of June 2014. The Telangana region was

th 1stpart of the Hyderabad state from September 17 1948 to November 1956, until it was merged with

Andhra state to form the state of Andhra Pradesh. After a prolonged agitation and movements for a separate

State, Telangana emerged as separate state as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, 2014 (no.6 of

2014) of Parliament with the city of Hyderabad as its capital.

The state has a glorious legacy of the rulers of Pre-Satavahanas (1000 BCE-300 BCE), Satavahanas (250

BCE-200 CE), Rastrakuttas, Kakatiyas (950 CE – 1323 CE), Qutub shahis (1496-1687) and Asaf Jahis (1724-

1948), further enriched by the contribution of the immigrant cultures of the Mudaliars, Marwadis,

Kayasthas and Parsis. Telangana apart from the historical perspective of various dynastic, regional and

cultural influences offers a plethora of pristine natural beauty and historical monuments.

Telangana lies in between 15°49'N Latitude to 19°54'N

Latitude and 77°14' Longitude to 81°19'E Longitude, is

a state in the Southern region of India, and is

strategically located in the Deccan plateau in the

Central stretch of the eastern sea board of Indian

Peninsula. It is bordered by the states of Maharashtra

to the North and North-West and Chhattisgarh to the

North, Karnataka to the West and Andhra Pradesh to

the South, East and North-East.2The state has an area of 1,12,077 km , administratively,

the state is divided into 10 districts: Adilabad,

Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Medak, Hyderabad,

Rangareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Warangal and

Khammam respectively.

Telugu is the principal and official language of the state. Main languages spoken are Telugu, Urdu, Hindi,

Banjara and English followed by Tamil, Kannada, Marathi and Oriya. The influence of Persian and Arabic

culture is discernible to a considerable extent in the languages spoken in Telangana due to its long

association with Muslim rule.

The sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1,000 males. This ratio for Telangana state is 988

according to the 2011 Census of India. One distinguishing feature is that the sex ratio in the districts of

Nizamabad (1040), Adilabad (1001), Karimnagar (1008) and Khammam (1008) is over 1,000.

The sex ratio has been witnessing an improvement in the State from 975 in 1961 to 971 in 2001 and further

to 988 in 2011 (Figure 1.1). Despite a favorable sex ratio of the total population, the sex ratio of children in

the age group of 0-6 years has declined from 957 in 2001 to 932 in 2011.

The sex ratio of the SC population at 1008 in 2011 is much higher than the State average of 988 in all

districts, except Rangareddy (988), Hyderabad (994) and Mahabubnagar (991) districts. The sex ratio of ST

population at 977 is marginally lower than the State average of 988, but it is higher in Adilabad (1003),

Karimnagar (995), Nizamabad (1017) and Khammam (1013) districts.

development. According to the estimates; Telangana's GSDP is estimated to be Rs.5.83 lakh crore in 2015-16

at current prices expected to grow at 11.7 percent. GSDP at constant (2011-12) prices is Rs. 4.69 lakh crore

and is expected to grow at 9.2 percent over previous year.

Gross District Domestic Product:

The estimates of Gross District Domestic Product (GDDP)reveal the size of the district economy and also

assess the progress of the district over a period of time. As per the GDDP estimates for the year 2014-15 at

current prices, Hyderabad occupies the highest position followed by Rangareddy and Medak districts

(Figure 1.3). These three districts account for about 45 percent of State GDP. On the other hand, the rest of

seven districts together account for about 55

percent of the State GDP.

The GDDP of the three major districts grew at

the average rate of more than 10 percent from

2004-05 to 2013-14. Whereas, Adilabad

district's GDDP grew at an average growth of

5.9 percent. The share of Telangana's economy

in India is about 4.1 percent in 2015-16. A

comparison of Telangana's GSDP growth with

that of All-India growth reveals that in 2012-13,

Telangana grew at 2.41 percent which is much

lower than All-India growth rate of 5.62 percent.

Since 2013-14, the growth rate of Telangana has

picked up and registered higher growth than all India

figures (Figure 1.4).

1.4 Per Capita Income

1.5 Employment Pattern

Per capita income (PCI) is the mean income

from all sources computed for every man,

woman and child in a geographical area. It

gives an idea about the level of development

in a state. The percapita income of the state

for the year 2014-15 is 1.29 lakh. District

wise analysis shows that Hyderabad district

has the highest PCI with Rs. 2.94 lakh

followed by Rangareddy and Medak

districts. Adilabad district has the lowest

PCI of Rs 76,921 followed by Nizamabad,

Mahabubnagar and Warangal.

The share of agriculture sector in total GSDP has been declining steeply as compared to a decline in

employment in agriculture sector. As

per the 2011-12 prices, agriculture and

allied activities share in total GVA was

12.9 percent, whereas about 55.6

percent of total workforce was

dependent on it, the share of the

services sector in total GVA was 60.5

p e rc e n t , b u t i t wa s p rov i d i n g

employment to only 26.6 percent of the

workforce. The Industry sector was

contributing about 26.7 percent to GVA

of the State while 17.8 percent of total

workforce was dependent on this sector

for employment.

1.6 Unemployment

1.7 Poverty and Human Development Index

The Unemployment Rate under the Usual Principal and Subsidiary Status (UPSS) among the age group 15

years and above is 2.7 percent. In rural areas, the unemployment rate is 1.1 percent, whereas in urban areas

it is 6.6 percent indicating that unemployment in urban areas is much higher than the rural areas.

The highest unemployment is in age groups of 15-29 years, unemployment rate is estimated to be 7.7% at

state level (3.8% in rural areas and 17.2 percent in the urban areas). "This indicates that youth

unemployment is one of the major concerns at the present juncture, especially in urban areas”.

In terms of nature of employment, 45.8% of the total workforce is reported to be self-employed, 35.4% as

casual labor and about 16.1 percent as wage/salaried earners while 2.7 percent are contract workers.

According to area-wise analysis the largest number of work force (48.8 percent) is self-employed in rural

areas where as majority of the workforce in urban areas are working as wage earners (salaries).

(Source: Socio - Economic Outlook 2016, Pg. No.16.)

Telangana has been successful in sharply reducing poverty levels from a steep 44.2 percent in 1993-94 to

8.8 percent in 2011-12. In fact, the poverty gap ratio has been declining over the years.

Human Development Index of different districts in Telangana State – conducted in 2004 and 2011 and

projected for the year 2015 is shown in Table 1.3. Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy retained their positions as

the first and second highest HDI districts in the State. Medak and Mahbubnagar remained as the bottom two

districts. There were changes in rankings at the middle level. Khammam, Adilabad and Nizamabad

improved their positions while the ranks of Warangal, Karimnagar and Nalgonda slipped down.

103 mammal species, 28 reptile species and 21 amphibian species in addition to a large number of

invertebrate species.

The state has an advantage of having a number of silk weaving pockets like Pochampally, Kothakota,

Narayanpet and Gadwal where silk yarn can be consumed and there is high potential and scope to introduce

further increase in production of mulberry silk and Tassar silk.

The department is implementing various schemes under different programs for Sericulture Development in

the State of Telangana, which are aimed to improve production of international Grade Bivoltine Silk , to meet

the gap between supply and demand of silk, transfer of technology to the farmers through Technical Service

Centers, preparation of High Yielding Varieties of Mulberry, economic conservation of water, promoting

private chawkie rearing units for supply of chawkie worms, promoting construction of a separate rearing

sheds and providing marketing facilities to farmers through cocoon markets.

area irrigated came down from 22.8 lakh hectares (2013-14) to17.26 lakh hectares (2014-15), showing a

negative growth of -24 percent during the same period. Source wise distribution reveals that wells are the

main source of irrigation in the State, irrigating about 82% of the total net irrigated area in 2014-15. The

share of canal and tank irrigation is confined to a mere 10 % and 4% respectively.

Manufacturing sector contributes about 55.0% in total industrial sector GVA in the State, as a result, growth

in manufacturing sector has a high impact on the industrial sector. Industrial sector in the State is likely to

register a growth rate of 8.4% in current prices and 8.3% at constant (2011-12) prices during 2015-16 (AE)

(Figure 1.7), during the same period manufacturing sector is likely to grow at 8.2% in current prices and

9.5% in constant prices. A trend analysis reveals that industrial sector growth has picked up over a period of

time, and is on a high growth trajectory.
