Hyderabad, Aug 5
"Telangana Rising-2026" Global Summit, scheduled to be held here in December, will serve as a platform to attract investments and boost Gross State Domestic Product, Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju said on Wednesday.
He directed the concerned officials to ensure coordination among all government departments and make extensive arrangements for the successful conduct of the event.
Speaking at a review meeting regarding arrangements for the Global Summit, the Chief Secretary stated that the cooperation of national and international organisations is crucial for attracting massive investments to the state, as part of achieving the 'Telangana Rising-2047' goal.
He noted that the Summit would serve as a pivotal platform for boosting the GSDP. Against this backdrop, he urged all government departments to work in coordination to ensure the event's success.
The meeting was told that the government is implementing the "Telangana Rising" initiative to position the state at the forefront of the country across all sectors, including development, investments, industrial growth, infrastructure, skill development, innovation, employment generation, and welfare.
A suggestion was made to utilise the Young India Skill University complex currently under construction at Bharat Future City for hosting the global summit. The concerned departments were directed to ensure the timely readiness of infrastructure facilities such as roads, electricity, and drinking water supply.
Officials held extensive discussions at the meeting on matters such as attracting investments to the state, further accelerating industrial development, expanding skill development opportunities for the youth, boosting employment generation, and delivering digital services more efficiently.
Chief Minister's Advisor and Ex-officio Special Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao, Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) Managing Director Shashanka, Invest Telangana CEO Ajith Reddy, Industries Department Special Secretary Krishna Aditya, Director Nikhil Chakravarthy, IT Department Joint Secretary Anudeep Durishetty, and others participated in this meeting.

Finally, a focused approach on skill development! Young India Skill University is a great move. Our youth need more than just degrees - they need employable skills. Hope the summit brings in companies that actually train and hire local talent instead of just setting up offices with outside workforce. 💪
Being a Hyderabad-based entrepreneur, I've seen such summits come and go. The real challenge is not just attracting investments but ensuring they translate into sustainable growth for MSMEs and local suppliers. Big ticket announcements get all the media coverage, but our small businesses need support too. Let's watch how the follow-up happens.
Interesting to see the global perspective being emphasized here. As someone who works with international clients, I can say that infrastructure readiness and ease of doing business are what investors truly look for. The mention of roads, electricity, and drinking water is actually more crucial than people realize. Hope the state delivers on these basics.
"Telangana Rising 2047" - love the vision! But I wish they'd focus on secondary cities like Warangal, Karimnagar, and Nizamabad too, not just Hyderabad. Development should be distributed, otherwise we'll create another metro-centric bubble. The Bharat Future City idea is good though - at least it's outside the usual IT corridor.
The coordination among departments is going to be the key test here. In my experience of working with Indian state governments, the biggest hurdle is always inter-departmental silos. If they can genuinely streamline that process, Telangana could set a benchmark for other states to follow. Fingers crossed! 🤞
