Telangana CM KCR inaugurates new Secretariat named after Ambedkar in Hyderabad

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said he considered it the opportunity of a lifetime to have inaugurated this "magnificent Secretariat complex". It is with Ambedkar's message and Gandhi's way that the journey of Telangana continues, he said.

Hyderabad: The new Secretariat of Telangana has been named after BR Ambedkar with the intention that public representatives and the entire government machinery should work to realise the ideals of the architect of the Indian Constitution, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said on Sunday. The CM inaugurated the new Secretariat complex, which stands 265 feet tall and is spread over an area of 10,51,676 square feet in a sprawling 28 acres.

"We fought on the Gandhian path and achieved a separate state. Kudos to all those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the state. Ambedkar's Article 3 of the Constitution gave rise to the state. We are moving forward on the path shown by him. It is a matter of pride to name the new Secretariat after Ambedkar. Everyone's efforts are involved in its construction. The villages of Telangana are also lit up in the same way as the Secretariat. We have built many projects, which are engineering wonders of the world. Thanks to the architects of the new Secretariat, the construction company, and every worker who took part in the construction," he said.

He said he considered it the opportunity of a lifetime to have inaugurated this "magnificent secretariat complex". It is with Ambedkar's message and Gandhi's way that the journey of Telangana continues, he said. The Chief Minister said that the earlier Planning Commission (since replaced by NITI Aayog) had kept nine districts of Telangana under the backward districts category but now there was no village as progressive as those of Telangana. He thanked officials and stakeholders for striving hard for the development of the state. 'Sudarsana Yagam' was performed from 6 am while KCR occupied his chambers on the sixth floor after the rituals concluded at around 1.30 pm. The ministers also occupied their respective chambers.

Considering the inadequacies of the former Secretariat complex built during undivided Andhra Pradesh, a government-appointed Expert Committee favoured the construction of a new building. The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Secretariat on June 27, 2019, but the works started only in January 2021, delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, court cases and other issues.
