On the occasion of Telangana Foundation Day, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to all the people of Telangana residing in these Islands.
This day stands as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit, cultural richness, and democratic aspirations of those who envisioned a distinct identity for Telangana. In a remarkably short span, the State has transformed itself into one of India’s most dynamic and progressive regions.
Telangana’s journey from aspiration to achievement is truly inspirational. It has emerged as a vibrant hub of innovation, enterprise, and inclusive development, all while proudly preserving its rich traditions and diverse heritage.
As we celebrate this significant milestone, let us reaffirm our shared commitment to building a Viksit Bharat—a developed, self-reliant, and future-ready nation. Telangana’s contribution to this national vision are both vital and exemplary. With its talented youth, visionary leadership and steadfast resolve, the State continues to illuminate the path toward a stronger and more prosperous India.
The celebration highlights the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat—honouring our unity in diversity and reinforcing the bonds that connect every region, language and culture of our great nation.
On this day, I once again convey my heartfelt wishes to the people of Telangana. May this Foundation Day inspire pride, unity and renewed dedication to building an inclusive, empowered and opportunity rich India for all.
