Our Presence

Azim Premji Foundation is present in only one district of Telangana – Sangareddy. The focus of work in Sangareddy is Early Childhood Education. Prior to this the Foundation was largely focused on education research in Andhra Pradesh through the APRESt study. The research study was intended to understand the relative impact of input-based and incentive-based education policies on student learning outcomes using the methodology of a randomized evaluation.

About the State

Telangana acquired its identity as the Telugu-speaking region of the princely state of Hyderabad, ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad joining the Union of India in 1948. In 1956, the Hyderabad state was dissolved as part of the linguistic reorganisation of states and Telangana was merged with former Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh. Following a movement for separation, it was awarded separate statehood on 2 June 2014.

Telangana has a population of 35.2 million with the people of the state predominantly residing in rural areas (61.12%) and the rest (38.88%) in urban areas.

According to the 2011 census, Telangana's literacy rate is 66.46%. Male literacy and female literacy are 74.95% and 57.92% respectively. The composite Education Development Index (EDI), ranks Telangana at 24th position, with a value of 0.585.

Approximately, only 6% of all teachers hold a Diploma in teacher training, and 2% hold a B.El.Ed degree.
