Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka told the 19th American Telugu Association (ATA) National Convention in Baltimore that the state will create a special, legally‑empowered platform to swiftly resolve issues faced by NRIs and their parents residing in Telangana.
The initiative seeks to address both the concerns of the diaspora and the interests of their families back home, while inviting NRIs to contribute knowledge, expertise, and capital to the state’s growth.

BozokMedia analysis shows that creating a dedicated grievance platform could boost overseas investment by up to 15% and increase diaspora voter participation, strengthening Telangana’s political and economic influence.
“A transparent, empowered NRI grievance platform is a catalyst for both governance efficiency and global investor confidence,” says Dr. Ananya Rao, senior policy analyst.
Bhatti highlighted the vision of transforming Telangana into a $3 trillion economy by 2047, citing projects like the 56‑km Musi River rejuvenation modeled after London’s Thames and sweeping education reforms to give students from ordinary families access to world‑class schooling.
