Hyderabad, Dec 8 (UNI) Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi delivered an impassioned address at the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025 at Bharat Future City on Monday, praising the state’s development vision and urging global leaders, investors and policymakers to embrace compassion as a driving force for economic and social transformation.
Welcoming international delegates to what he described as the “pious land of India and Telangana,” Satyarthi said the impressive gathering reflected the confidence that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s bold and courageous dream for Telangana would be realised. Looking at the audience, he said he felt assured that those present were not only capable of shaping the future of Telangana but also contributing to the making of a new India and a better world.
He congratulated the Chief Minister and his government for the rapid reforms undertaken in just two years, including the waiver of farm loans for over two million farmers, free bus travel for women and girls, enhancements in the health sector and a strong focus on quality and inclusive education.
