Since the Centre had hastened process for the delimitation of the Assembly constituencies in the state, the government wants to complete the process of carving out of new districts as early as possible.  Hence, the Chief Minister instructed the officials to prepare an action plan and speed up the process for the creation of new districts and mandals and prepare modalities in a scientific manner.

The increase in the number of districts would help the state get more Central funds and grants as the Centre has taken district as a unit for the allocation of funds for implementing developmental programmes and the establishment of Central institutions. The Centrally sponsored schemes will be implemented and new universities and educational institutions will be sanctioned with district as a unit by the Central government. Creation of new districts means that the State would have more educational institutions and grants,

Now, many of the district headquarters are far away from some villages. Once the districts are reorganised, every village will be within 100 km distance of the district headquarters. The new districts will also create job opportunity for local youth.

As many as 21 new districts have been came into existence in Telangana on the auspicious occasion of Vijaya Dasami. With these, the total number of districts in the state is 31.  Telangana, which came into existence on June 2, 2014 as the 29th State of India, started out with 10 districts.

The reorganisation of districts has been taken up for better administration. The administration should have up to date information on the districts and their residents over the implementation of various Government programmes as the total population in each of them would only be in lakhs.  The inauguration of the new districts would be a grand event on 11/10/2016 with the Assembly Speaker, ministers and other government functionaries attending the events in each of them.

CM attended the inauguration of Siddipet district, carved out of Medak, his home turf, according to the list of VIPs proposed for inauguration of new districts provided by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in a release.

~Telangana state, which was formed on the understanding that smaller districts would function more smoothly, would have as many as 31 smaller districts from Tuesday. As part of his efforts to take the administration to the people’s doorstep, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will unveil as many as 21 new districts on the occasion of Vijaya Dasami.

CM will unveil the new map of the state by officially inaugurating Siddipet district, which has been bastion of the TRS for many years. The chief minister is set to inaugurate the district at the auspicious time of 11:13 am on Tuesday in Siddipet town. The district is being carved out of Medak district. His cabinet colleagues will inaugurate the remaining 20 new districts simultaneously.

After almost 38 years, the revenue districts are being reorganised taking the total districts from the present 10 to 31. This will be a major administrative reform in Telangana after the then chief minister NT Rama Rao’s similar exercise of forming 1,100 mandals by splitting 280 blocks in the erstwhile united AP. “Introduction of mandal system by NTR brought about drastic changes at the grassroots level in terms of taking administration to people’s doorstep up to some extent. Though there was initial resistance from some leaders, it gradually won the hearts of the people as the administration went closer to the people. We are expecting similar success from the creation of smaller districts.

The minister said that the government expected three benefits from the formation of smaller districts: the administration will move closer to the people, second-rung leadership will emerge in new districts and dominance of certain people will be challenged with the emergence of new leaders. The mandal system brought these three benefits to some extent.
