Marking its second anniversary in office, the Congress government in Telangana is all set to organise the two-day Global Summit from December 8 at Bharat Future City, the ‘Fourth City’ that it is promoting along the peripheries of Hyderabad.
Nobel Laureate Abhijit Banerjee, Trump Media & Technology Group Director Eric Swider, World Economic Forum Managing Director Jeremy Jurgens, Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and Biocon Limited Executive Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, among others. Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Verma will formally inaugurate the summit in the afternoon.
The State government will release the Telangana Rising 2047 Vision document, outlining its strategy to make the State a $3-trillion economy over the next two decades. The document was prepared in association with NITI Aayog and the ISB.
The State government, however, is concerned about the flight cancellations over the last few days, which could affect delegates’ travel plans. One day ahead of the event, IndiGo cancelled 115 flights.
It created a buzz around the summit, inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several Union Ministers and Chief Ministers of various States. The Chief Minister deputed senior leaders to different State capitals to ask the Chief Ministers over the last week.
The document moots three strategies around CURE (Core Urban Region Economy), PURE (Peri Urban Region) and RARE (Rural Agriculture and Regional Economy).
The Musi Rejuvenation Project and Metro Rail expansion are also part of the development of the CURE strategy, while PURE handles infrastructure projects such as the Regional Ring Road, Greenfield Highway and Bullet Trains, connecting the State capital with Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
“Our main competitors and role models are China, Japan, South Korea and not Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. We will attract huge direct investments from abroad in the future,” the Chief Minister said.
“We are expecting huge investments during the two days. Representatives from 44 countries have confirmed their participation. Notably, 46 representatives from various companies are arriving from the United States alone,” an official said.
Sessions covering 27 topics, including aviation, energy, mobility, education and semiconductors, will be held over the two days. Officials have prepared seminar halls to facilitate these discussions.
Oscar-winning film musician M M Keeravani will conduct a concert in the evening. Telangana’s special dance forms, such as Kommu Koya, Banjara, Kolatum, Gussadi, Oggu Dollu, Perini Natyam and Bonalu, will be showcased to the delegates.
