Hyderabad: Telangana marked its 11th Formation Day today, June 2, 2025, with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy addressing the public to highlight the state’s achievements and ongoing initiatives since assuming office in December 2023.
Revanth Reddy paid tribute to the martyrs of the Telangana movement and acknowledged Sonia Gandhi’s role in the creation of the state. He said that while Telangana has completed ten years, many aspirations remain unfulfilled, prompting the formation of a government committed to addressing these challenges.
Since taking charge, the government has focused on reviving the state’s economy and correcting systemic issues. Vice-chancellors were appointed to neglected universities, the Telangana Public Service Commission was reformed, and new Education and Agricultural Commissions were established. Institutions such as the Information Commission, Lokayukta, and Human Rights Commission have been strengthened to function independently.
The Chief Minister highlighted women’s empowerment through the Indira Mahila Shakti Mission, which provided zero-interest loans worth ₹21,000 crore in the first year to support women entrepreneurs. Initiatives also include solar power projects managed by women’s self-help groups, women-operated petrol stations, and 100 Indira Mahila Shakti stalls established in Shilparamam.
Women benefit from free RTC bus travel, with the government purchasing 600 buses via women’s associations, of which 150 are currently leased to RTC. The Mahalakshmi scheme offers subsidized cooking gas and free electricity, along with housing support. Special health cards with QR codes are being issued to women self-help group members to enable annual health checkups.
The government has waived loans totaling ₹20,617 crore for over 25 lakh farmers, provided 24-hour free electricity valued at ₹15,333 crore, and increased financial support under the Raitha Bharosa and Indiramma Atmiya Bharosa schemes.

Reservation for BCs has been increased to 42% in local bodies, education, and employment. Telangana’s caste census revealed BCs constitute 50.36% of the population, prompting the central government to plan a national caste census.
