With less than a month to go, Telangana is gearing up to host the , with the expectation that a major chunk will be covered through sponsorships. How is that going?
The response has been overwhelming. We have more sponsors than we need, it’s actually reached a point where we’re having to politely say no. Corporates, hospitals, major industry players, everyone wants to be associated with this event. So yes, no concerns at all on the sponsorship front.
Can you give us a sense of the security arrangements from the time the contestants land at RGIA till their departure?
A senior additional director general (ADG)-level police officer is leading the security planning in collaboration with us. In addition, the Miss World organisation has its own security detail. We’ll have mentors and liaison officers, mostly young women well-versed in Telangana’s culture and history, who’ll accompany each contestant. They will manage communication, help with logistics, and ensure contestants are comfortable and cared for. On the ground, the police will oversee physical security. Green corridors will be created for contestant movements, and nothing will be left to chance.
Where will the contestants be staying?
For obvious reasons, we’re not disclosing the exact location yet. But rest assured, it will be a hotel known for top-tier safety, prior experience with high-profile events, and robust security protocols, including CCTV coverage and surveillance. We’ve assessed multiple factors before locking it in.
Yes, we’re watching the weather closely, and we’re as concerned as anyone else. Most events are scheduled for the evenings, post-sunset, to avoid the heat. Programmes have been kept crisp. We’re also advising contestants on staying hydrated and dressing appropriately. Medical teams and partner hospitals will be on standby at all venues.
