Formed as the 29th State of India, Telangana came into being on the 2nd of June, 2014. The State has an
area of 1,12,077 sq. Km. and has a population of 3,50,03,674 (2011 Census). The Telangana region was part
of the Hyderabad state from 17th September 1948 to 1st November 1956, until it was merged with Andhra
State to form Andhra Pradesh.

After decades of movement for a separate State, Telangana was created by passing the AP State
Reorganization Bill in both houses of Parliament. Telangana is surrounded by Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh
in the North, Karnataka in the West and Andhra Pradesh in the South and East directions. Major cities of the
State include Hyderabad, Warangal, Nizamabad, Nalgonda, Khammam and Karimnagar.
