The Partition of
Andhra Pradesh & Road map for Seema-Andhra
Here are some
points that will acts as a foot hold for Group of Ministers (GoM) to resolve the
critical issues on bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
The biggest problem for Andhra region is its new capital. Prior to 1953
Kurnool had been a capital to this region, but now it’s no where now to fit as
capital for Andhra state.
The Rayalaseema
region should not let this chance to realize its rightful demands for more
funds and resources. The Sir Bag agreement should be entrusted with higher
priority.
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.
(Or)
Creation of State
capital region:
The new capital can
be created in a newly created district in the Seema-Andhra region encompassing
the geographical regions of Kurnool, YSR Kadapa, Nellore and Prakasham
districts border regions. So that the two regions in newly created Andhra
Pradesh can have even share and console over burning capital issue. The new capital can be created
similar to Gandhi Nagar in Gujarat and Chandigarh in Punjab-Haryana
Hyderabad Issue over ten years as join
capital of two states:
Revenue sharing:
Without the
resources and income from Hyderabad the three regions wont survive. The income
from Hyderabad should be divided proportionally among the three regions for
over a period of ten years.
Education Opportunities:
It’s impossible for
the new Andhra Pradesh region to create education opportunities to its citizens
without Hyderabad. Hyderabad is a seat of three central universities, twelve
state level universities Medical colleges National Law school etc all are
created after the formation of AP mainly during 1996 -2013.So the both newly
created states have there share in opportunities for next ten years as of now
in undivided state.
Employment opportunities:
The above formula
can be applicable for employment opportunities as of now, but the government
employment is the solve right of Telangana state.
Administration of Hyderabad for ten years on
the lines of Joint capital:
The Administration
of Hyderabad has to be rest in the hands of Governor as per the Article 258 of
the constitution of India. The GHMC or the HMDA which ever is viable should be
hands in the Governor of Telangana State advised by the Council should consists
of representative of the Union Government of the rank of Secretary as council
member secretary, Chief secretary of both the States(Telangana and Andhra
Pradesh) and Mayor and Chief Municipal commissioner of GHMC as its per meant
members along with DGP’s or Commissioner of police of the Hyderabad and Cyber
bad as ex-office members.
The Land Administration, Urban
Planning, Law and Order, Education and others should be in the hands of that
council.
Education:
The Seema-Andhra
has legimate demand the union government to establish this region as education
hub.
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, ICFAI UoH,
Maulana Azad National Urdu university, English and Foreign languages, Nalsar
University of law, and many more. Seema Andhra region has to get rightful share
of this higher learning institutes must be established in this region along
with IIM AIIMS IISc and 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.
For further
reference this is the list of the Central and State sponsored institutes in and
around Hyderabad.
Note: This not the
exact list some more number of institutes are there.

Industries:
The union
government has to tack the steps to develop this region industrially. Telangana
region along with Hyderabad had developed industrially well. The Per capita
income of 65000 rupees apart of Hyderabad in Telangana and Hyderabad has
3,40,000 rupees. In order to provide means for the development of Andhra
Pradesh. There National Manufacturing zones should be established in Kurnool
Anathapur and Srilkakulam Vijayanagaram districts with all facilities.
Proving an impetus
to NTPC, NPCIL State govt has to establish 10,000Mega watts of new power
generation capacity by utilizing the gas resource available in KG-Basin. BHEL,
ECIL, NAL, HAL, SAIL and other PSU’s have to be invited to establish units
here.
SAIL has to
establish a major steel plant in Jamalamadugu in kadapa district along with one
other in East coastal Andhra region.
IT& ITES,
Gaming, BPO, Animation and other technology industries has to be encouraged
with special emphasis in both the regions in Vizag Kakinada Kurnool, Tirupati,
Nellore, Ongole, Vijayawada and other regions of the state.
Information
Technology Investment region as sanctioned in Hyderabad has to sanctioned in
Vishakhapatnam, Tirupati, and Vijayawada.
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.
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 as union
govt program on inland water navigation development earlier decided by the
Principal Secretary to Prime Minster to boost inland water ways in India
Due to the
proximity to the Bangalore and Chennai cities Ananthapur Chittoor districts has
to be developed an automobile Hi-tech manufacturing on behalf on
Bangalore-Chennai Industrial corridor.
Ministry of Defense
has with its foot hold in Eastern Navel Command should come in hand by
establishing the defense research manufacturing and other facilities as per its
indigenous program.
Airways:
Two international
Airports which are still pending in Vizag and Tirupati have to setup on the
wheels with jet speed on par with RGI-Hyd. The Honorable Prime Minister of
India Dr.Man Mohan Singh had already laid a foundation stone for International
Airport in Tirupati in 2010 since then there is no progress at all
Domestic Airports
has to be developed in Kurnool, Kadapa, Ananthapur, Chittoor, Nellore, Ongole, and
Vijayawada which had earlier sanctioned for development in ambitious central
government program to develop domestic airports for aviation industry.
Railways:
The Union Govt has
to given special emphasis on establishing a separate Railway zone head
quartered in Vizag. This region along with Axle wheel Wagon Engine, track
manufacturing facilities as earlier demanded by the Union Tribal Affairs
Minister Kishore Chandra Deo in his letter to Prime Minister.
Water Resources:
The Andhra region
having the fertile lands to irrigate but the water required for irrigation now
depends on the mercy of Telangana state. Rayalasema nothing but a land of
barren depends its entire agriculture is rain fed and depends on back water of
Krishna river. The Rayalasema region will have an allotment of 200TMCS as there
rightful share.The agitations in this region can be eased out.
An independent
constitutionally empowered Board should be established on permanent basics to
regulate the water sharing between the two states as per the Article 262 of the constitution of India(Disputes relating to
waters) by the power of Parliament. The blue print for the composition and
powers of such statuary committee had
given in the Justice Sri Krishna Committee. Polavaram project has to be
finished on wartime basics along with all pending schemes. In order to avoid
the obstacles for Telangana region for this project the Bhadrachalam revenue
division consisting of Bhadrachalam and Nuguru venkatapuram Talukas of East
Godavari which were in other side of the river Godavari were merged in khammam
on grounds of geographical contiguity and administrative viability has to
merged with the Andhra Pradesh region. To demarcate the boundaries between the
states in this region Andhra State
Formation Act 1953, revenue records geographical maps of formation times
should be the basics.
The Godavari waters
have to be harnessed at fullest level. By diverting its water which is left
into sea through Prakasam barrage. Micro and small irrigation system has to be
developed
Our engineers have
to make the schemes to realize this issue.
Administration in
Andhra Pradesh for regional development and Utilization of Package for the
development of the backward regions:
The Regional
Administrative council for both the regions representing the educational elite
and vigilant advisor board to foreseen the development of both regions with
statuary powers should be established.
This is only to
ensure development in both the regions and to avoid the future separate state
demands in the newly created Andhra Pradesh state.
The package
provided by the center for the development of the backward regions and
Districts of the both regions should take district as a unit.
The Rayalasema
region has to given special importance due to its land locked and drought hit.
The four districts in the Rayalasema region had declared among the 200 most
backward districts in the country.
The Andhra Lights
Co., Andhra Pradesh cooperative spinning mill on of the biggest in the Asia had
closed down in Anathapur district. The both industries should be referring to
Board for Industrial and Financial reconstruction (BIFR) to give impetus to
these industries for revival.
As mentioned
earlier the available land of Bhramani steels in KADAPA district has to acquire
by the SAIL for establishing steel factory to meet the nation demands as well
as backward areas development initiative.
Monetary package
given by the Union government will mount pressure on the Union Budget. In order
to avoid this and full utilization of PSU’s reserved deposits for the
Industrialization of the country can be utilized in this process
POSCO and Arcleor
Mittal the largest steel manufactures in the world have been facing problems in
realizing there investment in Odisha and Karnataka. The AP Govt had a huge land
bank in Rayalaseema and East coastal Andhra and Nellore region and good sea
port facilities and mineral resources in the state and the adjacent state will
add an advantage to it.
The union govt has
to consider this issue to ease out the regional development of the backward
regions of present AP and Telangana states.
Chennai – Vizag-Kolkata Industrial Corridor:
The announcement of
Chennai Vizag Kolkata industrial corridor will become a big boon to the entire
coastal Andhra Pradesh region and Odisha demanding for special state status.
This will soothes the anger of Andhra People for declaring the Hyderabad as ITIR
region in these turbulent times. The Sagar Mala Project had long been declared
by NDA govt can be re-initiated will boost investments in this region.
The Govt of India had already announced two major
ports one in Dugarajapatnam in Andhra
Pradesh and west Bengal will adds an advantage to it.
The
Private port developing in the Coastal Andhra region like VANPIC, Gangavaram,
Kakinada Anchorage port, will develop faster to provide employment
opportunities in Andhra Pradesh along with ITIR and PCPIR in Vizag and Kakinada
region.
Boundary
demarcation:
This is not a big
problem between the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State except in the case of
Bhadrachalam region where both of them claiming this to be as there own.
The Bhadrachalam revenue division
consisting of Bhadrachalam and Nuguru venkatapuram Talukas of East Godavari
which were in other side of the river Godavari were merged in khammam on
grounds of geographical contiguity and administrative viabilityhas to merged
with the Andhra Pradesh region. To demarcate the boundaries between the states
in this region Andhra State Formation Act 1953, revenue records geographical
maps of formation times should be the basics.
It’s obligatory to
deal with the Polavarm project as a safe pass too.
Final Note from our
side:
We are not asking
anything extravagant we are demanding our rightful share that what we lost due
to the lost of Capital Status for Kurnool over 57 years (Fifty seven years
since Nov-1st 1956 formation of Andhra Pradesh as Hyderabad as its
capital) and loosing Hyderabad now.
