In a bold administrative reform, the Telangana government is set to launch a dedicated commission to overhaul its district structure. This comes amid growing demands for a more rational distribution of districts to match the state’s dynamic growth patterns. Since bifurcating from Andhra Pradesh a decade ago, Telangana has expanded to 33 districts. Yet, imbalances persist—some sprawling districts strain resources, while others struggle with underdevelopment. The incoming commission will dive deep into these issues, proposing a blueprint for realignment. Government insiders reveal that the panel will be headed by a seasoned bureaucrat, supported by domain specialists. Their mandate includes assessing viability through metrics like revenue generation, infrastructure needs, and public feedback collected from town halls across the state.
