Telangana is a region of the state of Andhra Pradesh, which is due to become a separate state on 2 June 2014. Before Indian Independence it was part of Hyderabad State (Medak and Warangal divisions) which was ruled by the Nizams. The region is bordered by the states of Maharashtra to the north and north-west, Karnataka to the west, Chhattisgarh to the north-east and Odisha to the east. The Telangana region has an area of 114,840 square kilometres (44,340 sq mi), and a population of 35,286,757 (2011 census) which was 41.6% of the population of Andhra Pradesh.[2]
Telangana comprises 10 districts: Hyderabad, Adilabad, Khammam, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Rangareddy, and Warangal. The main rivers are the Godavari, Krishna, Manjira and Musi, which flow through the region from west to east. Telangana's five largest cities are Hyderabad, Warangal, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, and Khammam.
On 30 July 2013, the ruling Indian National Congress party resolved to request the Central government to form a separate state of Telangana, as the 29th state of India. The city of Hyderabad would serve as the joint capital of Telangana and the remainder of Andhra Pradesh for such period not exceeding ten years.[3][4][5][6] On 3 October 2013, the Union Cabinet approved the division of the existing state of Andhra Pradesh.[7]

On 5 December 2013, Cabinet approved the Telangana draft bill prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM). The bill was then submitted to Parliament for a vote by both houses.[8] On 18 February 2014 the 15th Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament) passed a resolution to create the state of Telangana,[9] followed by the Rajya Sabha (upper house) on 20 February 2014.[10] President Pranab Mukherjee gave assent to the bill on 1 March 2014 and Gazette notification to this effect was published on this day.[3] On 4 March 2014 the Government of India declared that 2 June would be the Telangana Formation Day.[
