The state cabinet in Hyderabad made several important decisions on Sunday. These include approving a caste census, scheduling the budget session from February 8, restoring vehicle registration from TS to TG, and implementing two more guarantees, which will be announced by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in the assembly.
The Revanth-led Congress government also made decisions to make changes to the Telangana Talli statue and state emblem. These changes will be made after consultation with various stakeholders to ensure that they reflect the aspirations of the people of Telangana. The cabinet ministers mentioned that the current design of both the statue and emblem reflects the aristocracy and dictatorial mentality of the former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Additionally, the cabinet approved the adoption of the song 'Jaya Jaya he Telangana' as the state song. This song, written by poet Ande Sri, gained popularity during the statehood movement and was unofficially adopted by various organizations and schools in Telangana. However, it was not officially recognized as the state song until now.
Other decisions taken by the cabinet include the establishment of the Kodangal Area Development Authority (KADA) for the overall development of the Kodangal assembly constituency, the allotment of 100 acres at Rajendranagar for the construction of new buildings for the high court, and the implementation of legal measures and guidelines for the release of prisoners. The cabinet also approved the upgrading of 65 government-run ITI colleges to advanced technological centers with skill enhancement and job-oriented courses.
Furthermore, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy instructed the cabinet sub-committee on the revival of Nizam Sugar factories to submit a comprehensive report on plans to restructure and reopen the closed factories at the earliest.![Whatsapp Banner](https://img.etimg.com/photo/111576466.cms)
