The study reveals that there has been a decline in disparities in the levels of human development between different districts and social groups, but growth in per capita income has been more pronounced than the improvements in indicators on education and health, suggesting that economic growth has not been translated into commensurate development in social sectors, particularly for rural areas and for vulnerable sections of society, e.g., less developed areas, women, B.C.s, S.C.s, S.T.s, and minorities. The analysis of the linkages between economic growth and social development through the rise in purchasing power of the people as well as improved capacity of the government to invest, is interesting. Equally interesting is the analysis of the reverse relationship between social development and economic growth, among other things, through the rise in labour productivity. The Report emphasizes the importance of forest cover, soil moisture, irrigation, drinking water and sanitation for enhancing and sustaining human development. The interface between policies, analysis of experiences and seeing the way ahead comes out clearly in the Report. I am sure, this study would be extremely useful for policy makers in Telangana, as it contains an in-depth as well as comprehensive analysis, district-wise, covering various dimensions - rural-urban, gender and other social groups. Researchers and public at large will find it equally illuminating and useful. C.H.Hanumantha Rao Founder-Member and Hon.Professor, CESS Human Development Report 2017 Telangana State iii CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STUDIES Nizamiah Observatory Campus, Begumpet, Hyderabad - 500 016, Telangana, India Phones: 040-23416610-13, 23402789, 23416780, Fax: 040-23406808, E-mail: [email protected], Website: www.cess.ac.in Message Conventional measures are now known to be inadequate for understanding the link between economic indicators and well-being. The UNDP has therefore developed a people-centric Human Development Index to estimate real levels of well-being, which are used to measure and compare human development across countries and at sub-regional levels. The present report by CESS offers a disaggregated assessment of human development in Telangana State at the district level and even the sub-district level along with policy suggestions. R. Radhakrishna Chairman, CESS Human Development Report 2017 Telangana State v Preface elangana became the 29th state of the Indian Union after the bifurcation of Tcombined Andhra Pradesh. The desire for inclusive development through decentralized governance and for deepening and widening of the democratic functioning of the state, market and civil society to protect the rights of every citizen is the policy priority for the new state. The policy goals of the Government of Telangana broadly converge with the development paradigm of UNDP that human development is the expansion of people's freedom to live long, healthy and creative lives; to advance the other goals they have reason to value; and to engage actively in shaping development equitably and sustainably.The social structure in Telangana is highly skewed with socially marginalized sections (backward castes, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and religious minority) which constitute 85 percent of the state population. Hence, a new social framework that allows inclusive and participatory development should be able to meet the aspirations of the people. The report on human development in Telangana State is prepared by the Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS) at the invitation of the Planning Department, Government of Telangana. We are highly thankful to Sri. B.P. Acharya, Special Chief Secretary, Planning Department for giving us the opportunity for preparing this report. This is the first Human Development Report for the state of Telangana.UNDP methodology has been used to compute Human Development Index (HDI) for the 10 districts of Telangana during 2004-05 and 2011-12 and projected for 2015-16. This Report benchmarks the patterns of human development across districts, Preface caste groups, gender groups, occupational groups, rural and urban areas in Telangana before the formation of Telangana State. This enables the State Government to monitor the progress of human development in the state. This Report has also brought out clearly the ways and means to bring improvements in human development and reduction in its inequalities. Telangana has improved its rank in HDI from 13 in 2004-05 to 10 in 2011-12 among the states in India. There were considerable improvements in HDI during this period among all the districts in Telangana. Inequalities in human development across social groups, rural-urban areas and hence across the districts have declined. However, the inequalities persist. Variations in the nature of growth, allocation of funds for social and economic services, functioning of education and health institutions and variations in deprivations in agriculture related natural resources are associated with the variations in levels, improvements and inequalities in human development of Telangana. The related policies of the Government of Telangana have the potential to address the concerns of human development.

  • In Telangana Cotton Farming
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST Planting and Performing: Anxiety, Aspiration, and “Scripts” in Telangana Cotton Farming Andrew Flachs ABSTRACT On cotton farms in Telangana, India, performance draws attention to farmers’ work not merely as an economic activity but as directed toward different kinds of audiences and in conversation with different roles, stages, and scripts. Importantly, this performance is contextualized by a neoliberal seed market where a seasonal deluge of accelerated and consumerist seed marketing diminishes the value of experiential knowledge in favor of the expansion of private genetically modified (GM) seed sales. This article draws on mixed methods and qualitative fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2016 on cotton farms in Telangana to explore the use of “scripts” in rural life: the learned and socially mediated mental maps that reflect sets of rules, values, patterns, or expectations in smallholder commercial agriculture. The script of manci digubadi (good yield) helps order and justify GM cottonseed decision making in rural Telangana, where seed knowledge is uncertain, environmental feedback is ambiguous, and social emulation dominates farmer choices. While being cautious not to present performance in such a way that questions authenticity or presupposes either fatalism or economic rationalism, I argue that scripts help farmers navigate cotton agriculture amid uncertain GM cottonseed markets and the anxieties and aspirations of neoliberal rural India.

  • One Economic Cluster for Each Mandal for Development of Rural Telangana
    ONE ECONOMIC CLUSTER FOR EACH MANDAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL TELANGANA 1 Appeal In this report we have listed one hundred models of economic activity that can be taken up in rural/ semi urban locations. Possibly many more ideas will come from entrepreneurs and industrialists. These are not new ideas nor is the concept of clusters, for survival, growth, from agglomeration economies and joint action benefits. What we would like to happen is bringing in improved technologies, tools and provision for innovation of products and process. The basic idea is to identify the inherent strengths of a small geographic area (One Mandal) in terms of resources, skills or simply aspirations of the people and use these strengths in a focused way to build one wealth creating activity touching sizeable number of people. While the intentions are there, we have not made any headway on this. After reviewing the situation TEMPO has come to the conclusion that apart from initiatives of Government, local leadership need be sensitized to the possibilities and nudge them to take part in this development effort. This report is a guide for all stakeholders to understand the concept and contribute to the effort. Support from Civil society Decentralization is the key: The local administration and local leadership at mandal level have to be the torch bearers for this development effort. Selection of suitable cluster, identification of land wherever required and identifying entrepreneurs should be done here. We appeal to local leadership to form an “economic cluster development” team and pursue the selected project. Marketing: After entrepreneur, critical factor for enterprise growth is marketing of the produce.

The role of states is expected to be highly crucial in sustaining the overall economic growth of the country in the coming times. The Indian manufacturing sector is on a high growth trajectory, it sets to contribute 25 percent to the GDP by 2025. Notably, the sector Dr. Mahesh Gupta contributes 66 percent to the nation’s exports and 12% of the total employment in the country. Though predominantly some states are agrarian in nature, but the industrial sector has also emerged as a significant contributor in its economic and social development. The states are now on their way to rapid industrialization through coordinated development of Small, Medium and Large scale enterprises. Also, at the socio economic front, the states have taken effective measures towards the implementation reforms in healthcare, education and other socio-economic segments. During the recent years, the states have taken large scale initiatives to promote the thriving sectors like tourism and industry and initiating public-private partnerships (PPP). Many states are also known for their efforts in the area of skill development.
