Telangana, entering into the 10th year of its formation on June 2, may have made remarkable progress in several performance indicators like power and agriculture, but bifurcation issues such as division of assets and liabilities with neighbouring Andhra Pradesh have remained unresolved so far.
While sharing of river waters continues to be a contentious issue, stalemate over the division of institutions – 91 under Schedule IX and 162 under Schedule X in addition to 12 others which were not mentioned in the AP Reorganisation Act – continues as the two States interpret the provisions of the Act in their own way.
These institutions involve a fixed value of an estimated ₹1.42 lakh crore and this includes the value of headquarter assets of Schedule IX institutions pegged at ₹24,018.53 crore and that of Schedule X institutions at ₹34,642.77 crore while the value of 12 other institutions is estimated at ₹1,759 crore.
