Economy Government - Politics Telangana: PM calls for research on regional disparities Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Jan. 8 OBSERVING that there were marked variations in inter-regional development in the country, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, has urged social research institutions to undertake a more detailed research to enable the Government effectively address the problem of backwardness of some regions. Addressing the Silver Jubilee of the Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS) here on Saturday, Dr Singh said there was much within the inter-regional experience of our country from which important lessons could be drawn. "Here in Andhra Pradesh, the contrasting experience of the coastal and inland districts, that is coastal Andhra and Telangana, should be a subject of more detailed research so that we can address the problem of the backwardness of some districts by learning from the experience of the more developed ones," Dr Singh said. In this connection, he raised certain issues and sought detailed answers to them from the social research institutions such as the CESS. "Is the answer to Telangana's perceived backwardness to be found in political or administrative solutions, or in encouraging new investment in human development and infrastructure? Will Telangana benefit from more public investment alone, or does it also need agrarian initiatives that empower peasants, and, investment in education, health and the social and economic empowerment of women, tribals and minorities?"
