ABP Network is set to host the second edition of the Southern Rising Summit 2024 on October 25 in Hyderabad, with Telangana’s first Congress Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy opening the session. This year’s summit, titled “Coming of Age: Identity, Inspiration, Impact”, will bring together prominent voices from politics, culture and industry from the South, who are changemakers, leaders of opinion and visionaries. The Southern Rising Summit 2024 will celebrate South India’s remarkable journey and its role in shaping political will, cultural innovation and economic growth across India.

The first session, titled ‘From the Shadows – Growing Up to Adulthood’, will see Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy speaking about the rise of India’s youngest state over the years. Considered the architect of the Congress’s rise to power in Telangana, formed in 2014, Revanth Reddy will also speak about his party in the state.

The 2024 summit in Hyderabad – a city symbolizing ambition and aspiration – will bring together key players in South India’s transformative journey. The second edition of the Southern Rising Summit promises to delve deeper into the innovative governance models that have made South India a leader in education and health, and explore how the region’s contributions in India’s future continue to grow.

South India, home to almost 20% of India’s population, has long been at the forefront of the country’s development. Contributing 31% to the country’s GDP, this figure is expected to rise to 35% by 2030, highlighting the region’s central role in India’s economic landscape.

In recent years, a reaffirmation of regional identities, two newly elected state governments and the emergence of a new political balance at the Center have paved the way for a reinvigorated South India, which continues to set benchmarks in governance , social cohesion and cultural dynamism.

The stalwart list of speakers this year includes Union Minister for Civil Aviation Shri Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, former All England Men Singles champion and Padma Bhushan Award winner Pullela Gopichand, director and screenwriter Chidambaram S Poduval, along with actors Gautami Tadimalla, Sai Durgha Tej and Raashii Khanna. .
