CWC had decided that the sate of Andhra Pradesh will be bifurcated into two separate states based on regions as Telangana and Andhra Pradesh (Rayalaseema and Costal Andhra).

It’s irrevocable now to think back. Congrats to Telangana people but its irony to Seema-andhra people. Hyderabad is Golden bowl to entire state is fully owned by Telangana but Seema-andhra had return with empty hand.

The Andhra people have to at least unite now for the rightful share in resources from the united state.

Here are some points that will acts as a foot hold for the Seema-Andhra to emerge as raising power. The biggest problem for Andhra region is its new capital. Prior to 1953 Kurnool had been a capital to this region, but now its no where now to fit as capital for Andhra state.

Capital Issue:

Instead of being a single capital like the state of J&K we have to go for two capital approach one is in Rayalaseema and other is in Costal Andhra. The best cities to realize this issue is Kurnool or Tirupathi in Seema and Vishakhapatnam in Andhra region. Both will be developed as an equal approach with centralized planning. The Union government has to provide resources for the same.

Education and Health:

The Seema-Andhra has to demand the union government to establish this region as education hub.

Its like even and every mandal in this region has to established a model school on the par equal to Hyderabad Public School with 50% reservation to the poor based on only economic status but not other.

At least two to four Sainik Schools are requested to establish one or two in both the regions.

The existing schools have to be upgrade to higher secondary schools with all facilities preaching English medium at high standards.

The Premier institutes in the world and in the country have to invite to establish the centers of excellence and colleges to develop higher education.

The Telangana region have IIT,ISB, IPE,IICT ,IIIT, NIT ,NIFT ,NID ,NIFER BITS, UoH,Nalasar University of law and many more. Andhra region has to demand for these higher learning institutes must be established in this region along with IIM AIIMS IISc and at lest Five central innovation universities. So that most talented fool of human resources can be generated along to attract the investments from the private players. Each district headquarter should become seat of one.

Each district should have a government Medical Dental Nursing Paramedical college with multi super specialty facilities to provide medical services to the poor. The DHC's and PHC's  should be modernized and pays a way for better health care.

The state leadership acts forward to accomplish this herculean task.

Petro-Chemical corridor has to be promoted to leverage more investment along the coastal belt.

Bulk Drug and Pharmaceutical industries should be established with priority along the coastal belt.

All the important towns and cities in the district should have an investment zone around that city with at lest 50-70 years prior planning by reserving the area for industrial activates.

Ship building industries in Vizag Kakinada Bandar Nellore has to be given special emphasis. Inland water ways like the old Buckingham cannel should be developed.

The Andhra region having the fertile lands to irrigate but the water required for irrigation now depends on the mercy of Telangana state.Rayalaseema nothing but a land of barren depends its entire agriculture is rain fed and depends on back water of Krishna river.
