“While Coastal Andhra was mainly a plain region consisting of deltas with well developed canal Irrigation system, Telangana was a dry plateau region which depended upon rained agriculture, animal herding and hunting and gathering from forests. The undulating terrain was used to build tanks and this water was used lo cultivate a variety of crops”.
Answer:
According to the given paragraph the Coastal Andhra was well developed because of deltas and canals. Whereas the Telangana region was dry. So this areas depends upon rainfall. A few tanks were used to Irrigate variety of crops but It Is not as much as that of Coastal Andhra. There Is a clear variation between the development of these two places.
This paragraph is based on agriculture in Tela ngana and Coastal Andhra. This is about natural features of these two regions. The coastal region was under a rapid modernisation process.
Since 1969, there was a discontent among the Telangana people. They were deceived by the leaders. After 2001. All the Telangana people stood supporting the agitation, The struggle for Telangana separation. In response to the Telangana Movement, the Seemandhra people started ‘Jai Andhra Movement’, students, professionals and others also participated. These agitations continued for several years.

Sujalam – Suphalam is taken up by a newspaper and water harvesting schemes are being launched. The Governments are trying better to develop these regions.

“Even in the overall educational attainment, Telangana remained behind Coastal Andhra. The literacy rate in 2001 in Telangana was 53% but In Andhra, it was 63%. During the same period, literacy rates were further less among the poor and socially deprived sections of Telangana”.
Answer:
According to the paragraph, it s understood that there is a lot of difference in literacy rate between the two regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The literacy rates were very less among the poor and socially deprived sections of Telangana.
It Is dearly understood that the Telangana was backward in many fields. Here it is about literacy rate and educational attainment The Andhra was under the control of the British. The Telangana was under control of the Nizams along with a few districts of Karnataka and Maharashtra. Totally sixteen districts were there under the Nizams. It was ruled by the seven Nizams for about 225 years.
At the same time the Andhra region was developed by the British. The British provided educational opportunities and encouraged the people to go for English medium schools. Many of the young students joined English medium schools and parallelly Telugu mourn was also given priority. The downtrodden and tribal people were also educated to some extent. Adult Education was also given preference.
In Telangana, the Nizam’s government did not allow indigenous languages to learn. Local and street schools were closed down. The Nizam’s government was afraid of local language schools in the name of they were turned against them Under the Nizam’s rule there they build the Osmania University in Hyderabad. At the time Telugu medium was allowed. Only Urdu as a medium of instruction was allowed many of the rural people could not get proper education.
Zamindan systems was there and the rural poor people were forced to do the labouflous work. Vets was in vogue. Employment opportunities were not there. So Telangana was backward in literacy rate.
In conclusion, literacy is necessary to everyone. Education has become a primary need to one and all. Nowadays the governments are coming forward with many new schemes like Mid-Day-Meals, hostels, reservations, free books, and free clothes, i.e. uniforms.
Government should provide more employment opportunities. Self-employment schemes are to be launched. Special packages for educational attainment in socially deprived sections are to be Implemented. Special residential schools for minorities, tribals, and scheduled castes are announced In Telangana. KG to PG free education should be implemented. Then it will be useful to all.

Answer:
According to the given paragraph the people from Coastal Andhi-a and outside his state. came to Hyderabad and invested for development. The investment came to Hyderabad but local people couldn’t get any sort of benefit. As real estate business improved in and around Hyderabad, the Telangana people lost their lands and the outsiders of Hyderabad and Telangana got rio benefits.
The Telangana people have low literacy rate and so they are poor. They have no opportunities for jobs. Many rich people came to Hyderabad and they earned much money.

A few companies brought people from entire villages and formed colonies on their names. Industrial areas are

Either they are contract or day wages labourers.
The Anditra people also humiliated the language and culture of Telangana. They exploited the resources of Telangana. In the names of especially Economic Zones the lands of local people were purchased and no jobs were given to them.
Now the two states are separated. They are developing themselves. With new plans, they are moving forward. The two Chief Ministers declared that all the issues can be solved with negotiations.
