New districts of erstwhile Warangal witness rapid growth after reorganisation

The creation of smaller districts has had a significant impact, with unexpected developments in the surrounding areas, including the district centres.

Warangal: Six districts carved out of erstwhile Warangal districts have witnessed rapid growth in the last seven years since the creation of six new districts from the erstwhile Warangal in October 2016.

While Warangal Urban, Warangal Rural, Jangaon, Jayashankar Bhupalpally and Mahabubabad were formed in October 2016, Mulugu district was formed on February 17, 2019 by bifurcating Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. In August 2021, the Warangal Urban District was renamed Hanamkonda District, and Warangal Rural District became Warangal District.

The reduction of distance burdens has enabled immediate problem-solving, making it easier for the administration to cover villages and mandals, and effectively monitor the implementation of government schemes.

The creation of smaller districts has had a significant impact, with unexpected developments in the surrounding areas, including the district centres. The establishment of government offices, new shops, and businesses has spurred economic growth, transforming the lives of the people. Additionally, the state government is investing heavily in state-of-the-art integrated collectorates and the development of cities and towns, ensuring that facilities and resources are available to every village. Education and medical development are also being prioritized.

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s vision and the government’s dedication have set these small districts on the path of progress, marking the eighth spring of their development journey.
