Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday  released “Vision 2047: Advancing Health, Human Development and Education,” a blueprint that positions universal healthcare and world-class education as the twin engines for transforming the state into a $3-trillion economy by 2047. The health component promises every citizen accessible, affordable and equitable care through a life-course approach that tackles nutrition, maternal-child survival, non-communicable diseases and mental health.

Over Rs 25,000 crore will be invested in new medical colleges, super-specialty hospitals (including TIMS campuses and Warangal Super Specialty Hospital), district-level Centers of Excellence, and decentralized specialty services beyond Hyderabad. Digital health will be revolutionized with unified Electronic Health Records, ABHA-linked profiles, AI-driven disease surveillance and telemedicine reaching the last mile.

Key targets include slashing stunting in children under five from 33% today to below 12%, reducing maternal mortality to under 6 per 100,000 live births, and achieving 100% institutional deliveries and digital health coverage by 2047. Anaemia in women and adolescent girls – currently around 58% – is slated to fall below 15%. The state also aims to screen every adult above 30 for NCDs and ensure at least 80% continuity of care for chronic conditions.

In education, the vision seeks uninterrupted, high-quality schooling from early childhood to Class XII, with foundational literacy and numeracy mastery for every child by Class 3. The state will phase pre-primary sections into all government schools, upgrade 694 residential institutions into 105 world-class Young India Integrated Residential Schools, and establish a unified Telangana State School Education Board. A new independent Telangana State School Standards Authority will accredit government and private schools alike.

Community ownership will be strengthened through women-led Amma Adarsha Pathshala Committees, while AI-enabled personalized learning, coding, robotics and vocational exposure will prepare students for future jobs. Breakfast will complement mid-day meals, and sports will become mandatory. Officials described the integrated health-education strategy as non-negotiable for harnessing Telangana’s demographic dividend as fertility falls below replacement level.

“A healthy mind in a healthy body, equipped with 21st-century skills, is the only way we reach a $3-trillion economy and become a global benchmark,” a senior official said. With health spending targeted to rise from 4% to 8% of GSDP and education reforms backed by real-time data dashboards, Telangana has set itself an ambitious yet detailed roadmap to 2047 – one that promises longer, healthier and more productive lives for every citizen.
