The Telangana Movement had much positive achievements to its credit:

• In the villages controlled by the guerrillas, vethi and forced labour disappeared.

• Agricultural wages were raised.

• Illegally seized lands were restored.

• Steps were taken to fix ceilings and redistribute lands. Measures were taken to improve irrigation and fight cholera.

• An improvement in the condition of women was witnessed.

• The autocratic-feudal regime of India’s biggest princely state was shaken up, clearing the way for the formation of Andhra Pradesh on linguistic lines and realising another aim of the national movement in this region.
