Telangana progressing rapidly as urban State: Deputy CM
The Regional Ring Road will be a key project contributing to economic development paving way for clusters for industries such as pharma and information technology, as well as for education and housing, he said while addressing the CFO Conclave organised here by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Telangana.
Social justice, equality and inclusivity are core of the State's policy framework, he said. In support, he cited the farm loan waiver scheme under which the government has disbursed ₹21,000 crore to banks within three months of coming to power to benefit two lakh farmers; issued ₹21,500 crore interest-free loans to women self help groups and launched Rajiv Yuva Vikasam self-employment scheme for youth. 'Everyone in the family is being taken care of by the government under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy,' the Deputy CM said.
The government is also building Young India Integrated Residential Schools with international standards to provide quality, equitable education to students from all backgrounds. Each school is being constructed on 25 acres at a cost of ₹200 crore. The government has initiated construction of 100 such schools simultaneously.
Industrialists are key to the State's development, employment generation and wealth creation, he said, assuring the government's support. The Deputy CM urged CFOs to transform into strategists, technology experts and skilled risk managers. 'Finance is no longer about just accounting. CFOs are now strategists who shape the destiny of their organisations,' he said.
Embrace tech
Past Chairman of CII-Southern Region B.V.R Mohan Reddy said CFOs need to embrace technology and become cross functional.
'By leveraging tools like advanced analytics, automation and machine learning, CFOs can reshape financial processes and build a future-ready finance function,' CII Telangana Chairman R. Sivaprasad Reddy said. In a release, CII-Telangana said it was 7th edition of the CFO Conclave.

Micro-industries will be set up in each Assembly constituency for economic empowerment of women: Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka
Reiterating that the Congress government will take up the Babasaheb Ambedkar Pranahita-Chevella project, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that micro-industries will be set up in every Assembly segment to promote entrepreneurial spirit and economic empowerment of women. The Deputy Chief Minister was addressing a public meeting in Luxettipet town of Mancherial district on Sunday. Earlier, he laid the foundation stone for a 1MW solar power plant of Indira Mahila Shakti women SHGs at an estimated cost of ₹3 crore at Andugulapet village in the district. Minister for IT and Industries D. Sridhar Babu, Health Minister C. Damodar Rajanarsimha and Prohibition & Excise Minister Jupally Krishna Rao and others accompanied him. The State government is considering launching a special development plan for Adilabad district, he said, recalling the overwhelming response he received from people of the erstwhile Adilabad district during his People's March padayatra before the 2023 Assembly elections. 'We have focused on allocating solar power projects to women's SHGs, he noted, asserting that the government will work for the economic empowerment of women despite financial challenges,' he said. He criticised the BRS government for abandoning interest-free loans for women, which were introduced by the successive Congress governments in the past. Now, the Congress government has revived the scheme, he added. In pursuit of our goal to make one crore women into crorepatis, we have distributed interest-free loans worth ₹21,600 crore in the form of cheques to women's SHGs in the first year itself, Mr. Vikramarka said. He added that the cheques were being handed over to women SHGs in Mancherial on the occasion as part of the ongoing disbursement of interest-free loans across the State. He noted that the women's groups were provided security and loan support in purchasing buses, which were then leased to Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC). So far, 150 buses have been leased out to the TGSRTC, and a lease amount of ₹1 crore has been received by the women's groups, he said, adding that the remaining 450 buses will also be leased out to the TGSRTC soon.
