NRI AMBASSADORS OF TELANGANA
The Rise of Telangana!
Telangana, one of India’s prosperous regions since centuries, has
witnessed dawn in the year 2014 with the realization of its long-cherished dream of statehood.
With many aspirations, challenges, dreams and ambitious plans, the
government of Telangana realizing the hopes of its populace has
conceptualized the idea of ‘Bangaru Telangana’ (Golden Telangana). The
plan envisages making Telangana a state to reckon with in important
sectors that will drive the growth of the new state.
Tourism, a Key Pillar of Bangaru Telangana
Telangana Tourism, created after Telangana formation in 2014, has been
unveiling a range of new initiatives to re-brand the tourism sector of
the state and also revigorate the potential of tourism in Hyderabad
and other districts of Telangana.
Along with a vibrant online presence, many projects are being taken up
at the ground level at several tourist destinations to revamp
infrastructure and spruce up these sites, whilst providing a facelift
for potential sites. With immense support from the government,
Telangana Tourism is now on a journey of success, crossing one
milestone after the other, in line with the vision and objectives of
playing a key role to create Golden Telangana.
‘NRI Ambassadors of Telangana’
Telangana Tourism, has been growing phenomenally, with great potential
for attracting higher domestic and international tourists. Telangana
Tourism is now collaborating with the NRIs of the state, who can now
be partners in promoting the activities, festivals, tourism packages
and the wide range of destinations in the state.
The plan called ‘Telangana Ambassador’ envisages regular liaison of the
diaspora with the officials of Telangana, video conferences with
delegates and other initiatives to chart a new path for the
development and promotion of Tourism in different countries.
Role of NRI’s
Telangana region is fortunate to have its ‘sons of the soil’ who have
settled in various developed and developing countries across the world
and scripted success stories in many fields.
The diaspora of Telangana is spread, far and wide in different
countries of the world, who are always our proud representatives in
their home countries. By becoming a part of ‘NRI Telangana Ambassador’ a new
era of collaboration is being established between Telangana’s NRIs and
Telangana Tourism, marking a new dawn, in connecting with the roots.
Our NRIs will serve to promote their native regions of the state,
which are popular as well as hitherto under explored or unexplored
destinations, in terms of promotions and overall visibility. Apart
from this, the NRIs will also be promoting their surrounding other
regions (close to their native destinations) and other tourism
hotspots of Telangana, in their host countries, through active liaison
and coordination with Telangana Tourism. In this regard, all Telugu
speaking NRIs can be ambassadors of Telangana, forging a rich connect
with the Telugu state of Telangana.
