<h2>'any language which is not implemented in the administrative transactions and as a medium of teaching will not last long'.</h2>

<p class="gmail-body"> Telugu Bhasha Parirakshana Samakhya founder convenor
Velchala Kondal Rao has appealed to the Government not to go the whole
hog in the implementation of KG to PG in English medium and slow down in
the execution in the interest of promotion of Telugu language.</p><p class="gmail-body">Expressing
a serious concern over the survival of the mother tongue in the wake of
the Government policies meant to promote education in English, he said
that any language which is not implemented in the administrative
transactions and as a medium of teaching will not last long.</p><p class="gmail-body">In
his opening remarks at the round table conference on the need for
protecting Telugu language here on Thursday, he said that the Samakhya
(federation) was a voluntary organisation and collecting the public
opinion on Telugu language policy. It was also making efforts in
bringing to the notice of the Government all aspects of its
implementation in different fields.</p><p class="gmail-body">The
federation was not against the implementation of the KG to PG education
in English medium, but the octogenarian freedom fighter cum
educationist said the samakhya had conducted debates in Warangal,
Karimnagar and Mahabubnagar districts on the subject and would hold a
similar one here on September 7.</p><p class="gmail-body">Programme
coordinator K. Yadagiri said that Advisor to Government of Telangana
K.V. Ramana Chary, Press Academy Chairman Allam Narayana, MP K. Kavitha
and TSPSC Member M. Rajender will participate in the debate. Among those
who would deliver lectures on different topics included Chukka Ramaiah,
S. Lakshmana Moorthy, Ampasaiah Naveen, Kaluva Malliah, C. Mrunalini,
Juvvadi Raghunatha Rao, and K. Ratnakar.</p><p class="gmail-body">Former
Registrar of Telangana University R. Limbadri said that the onslaught on
Telugu language had begun in the wake of globalisation in the 1990s. It
lost its sheen as the middle class parents with the desire to see their
children in top jobs started sending them to convent schools, he said.</p><p class="gmail-body"><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents.
