Rao, who had a review of development of Warangal during a visit to the town, said the Centre had chosen Warangal for implementation of its smart city and 'AMRUT' schemes.
Warangal has already got a health university and it would soon have a textile park, he said.
The state government would build Outer Ring Road for the city and promote tourism at the Warangal Fort and the tanks built by the Kakatiya rulers, he said.
