In the bustling city of Hyderabad, Minister Danasari Anasuya Seethakka, holding key portfolios including Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, Women and Child Welfare, underscored a significant initiative aimed at altering the economic landscape. Speaking at the Telangana Rising Global Summit-2025, she highlighted that while women contribute up to 40% of GDP in developed countries, their contribution in India remains below 20%.
Seethakka’s vision entails making Telangana a global exemplar of women-driven development. She emphasized the potential for economic growth and sustainable development if women are empowered to take the reins. “If women grow, the economy grows,” she said, hinting at the symbiotic relationship between gender equality and economic prosperity.
The Minister’s remarks reflect a growing trend among women in Telangana, who are increasingly demonstrating self-sufficiency and entrepreneurial spirit by creating opportunities for themselves rather than passively waiting for them. This shift signifies a promising future for women’s empowerment in the region.
As Telangana continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how this focus on women-driven development will shape the region and potentially inspire other parts of India and beyond.
