HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday said that the state government is giving a new definition to development by adding a human angle to economic growth.
Addressing the Southern Council conference of the ASSOCHAM here, he said that the government was committed to building a Telangana that was fiscally disciplined, socially inclusive and environmentally responsible.
Bhatti said: “We live in a world of abundant resources but deep inequality. The failure of trickle-down economics is evident. What we now need is ‘lift-all’ development — inclusive growth that uplifts everyone.”
The deputy chief minister said that Telangana was an ideal destination for corporate CSR initiatives.
The state provides a platform not just to fulfil CSR mandates, but to do so with 100% impact and transparency. He called on companies across India to consider Telangana as a prime hub for their CSR investments.
Hyderabad Collector Dasari Harichandan, ASSOCHAM’s Suresh Chukkapalli, Barul Islam, Abhishek Ranjan and Krishna Edula were present.
