About telangana.....


About Telangana:


Telangana (Telangana: తెలంగాణ) is a region in Andhra Pradesh , India. The region borders the states of Maharashtra on North-West,Karnataka on West, Chattisgarh and Orissa on North, and Coastal Andhra region on East and Rayalaseema region on South; both these regions were part of the former Andhra state which was merged with Telangana to form the current state of Andhra Pradesh in 1956. The region has an area of 114,840 km, and population of 30,696,520 per the 2001 census. The region lies on the Deccanplateau to the west of the Eastern Ghats range, and includes the northwestern interior districts of former Andhra Pradesh state. Telangana region has 10 districts: Adilabad, Hyderabad, Khammam, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad,Rangareddy, Warangal. The Krishna and Godavari rivers flow through the region from west to east.
On December 9, 2009, the Government of India announced that the process for the formation of Telangana state would be considered upon introduction and passage of a separation statement by the state assembly of Andhra Pradesh. The Government of India has since constituted a five member committee headed by Justice B. N. Srikrishna to study the feasibility of a separate Telangana state within the Indian Union.
