Message from Dr.V L Indira Dutt, President, WTF
Dr. V. L. INDIRA DUTT
Greetings to the Telugu community!
Wherever we may find ourselves, it is essential that we proudly uphold our mother tongue and celebrate our heritage. Let us boldly declare our Telugu identity to the world, irrespective of our location or profession. Regardless of where we reside, let us always converse in Telugu with our fellow Telugu speakers, thereby preserving our rich culture and traditions.
Celebrating Telugu Heritage Globally
Welcome to the World Telugu Federation (WTF)!
Established in 1992, the World Telugu Federation (WTF), also known as ‘PRAPANCHA TELUGU SAMAKHYA’ in Telugu, is a global organization dedicated to uniting and celebrating the Telugu diaspora.
The Need:
Telugu, a language with a rich literary heritage and ancient traditions, deserves to be cherished not just as a communication tool but as a cornerstone of Telugu identity. Telugu People are spread across the world occupying high positions showing their knowledge, intelligence and talents in different fields. The need of the hour is to network and forge new alliances and to work together with the people who have settled in various countries for the development of our motherland.
World Telugu Federation was inaugurated in America way back to 1992 by the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Hon’ble Sri N. T. Ramarao, along with likeminded people who wanted to preserve Telugu language and culture. The theme of World Telugu Federation (WTF) is “Unity is Strength”. The purpose of WTF is to promote Telugu literature, arts and culture, development of our motherland and to unite various Telugu cultural organisations from various places with friendship and affection among everyone.
The WTF has a rich history of organizing international conferences, establishing a permanent office, and awarding scholarships. Under the leadership of dedicated presidents, the organization has grown significantly, affiliating with many Telugu associations across the globe.
Driven by the vision of prominent Telugu figures, the WTF aims to
• To assimilate, integrate, promote, and perpetuate the cultural heritage, arts, language, and literature of the Telugu world and consciousness.
• To bring under one umbrella of the World Telugu Federation, the various Telugu Federations and Associations formed in various parts of the country and around the world.
• To organise periodical seminars and meets on Telugu culture, fine arts, literature, education, science, and technology in various regions and countries.
