Publish Date/ Year : 2023 | Format: Paperback | Genre : Social Science | Other Book Detail

This book is an outcome of a yearlong sabbatical project, being permitted by the Mizoram University, Aizawl. Having undertaken requisite field study in the six districts of Telangana state, research outcomes were com piled and complete at the CESS, Hyderabad, last year. This study is aimed at understanding developmental strategies that were identified and proposed during the course of statehood movement in the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. Thus, the study is focused on the period after statehood of about nine years during which the state witnessed certain developmental activities. Study of Telangana movement and developmental agenda is largely based on the secondary sources in the form of books and articles, published in the past decade or more. The study is also based on some primary sources like the SKC reports, documented and research studies in some university departments in Hyderabad and Warangal. The author has also conducted some field surveys and interviews with political activists among others. In this book, those socio-political developments that contributed for the formation of Telangana state, as the political voice of democratic sections across the region, have been briefly highlighted. However, the developmental strategies that got initiated and implemented in the new state are so focused on the rural development and the vast majority of farmers and artisans that desperately awaited the irrigation development for long, the new regime had prioritised the irrigation sector and implemented major and minor irrigation projects on war footing. When looked at from a perspective of limited scope for the state governments to develop any state, at a time when the union government isn’t cooperative enough due to political differences, as is the case with present state of centre-state relations elsewhere in India, Telangana development is very significant. Unless there is a mutual cooperation between the two governments, comprehensive development is hardly possible. This book is handy for those students of statehood movements, state politics and developmental studies who want pursue research as part of academic career.
