<p>The
stage is being set for the forthcoming World Telugu Conference. All
preparatory works are on in full swing with no hiccups thanks to the
coordinated efforts from all government departments concerned. There is a
total support from the government in all aspects. This would remain a
cherished memory forever and ever. It is no exaggeration to say that the
World Telugu Conference will leave an indelible mark on Hyderabad.</p>
<p>Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, a connoisseur of literature,
presided over an important meeting that was held at Pragati Bhavan on
November 20, 2017 which was attended by over 60 Telugu scholars having a
firm grip over the language, literature and other genres from across
the State. The participants, each having mastery over the subject, threw
light on the proposed conference. The way the CM raised certain issues
and topics that should form part of the conference is simply exemplary.
The Chief Minister responded on each and every view expressed.</p>
<h3><strong>The views expressed by the participant scholars are:</strong></h3>

<p><em><strong>Professor Gopi…</strong></em>. “Let the WTC not just be limited to mere literature but should include a gamut of language-culture-literary combination”.</p>
<p><em><strong>Ravva Srihari….</strong></em> “There needs to be a
discussion in the conference on the exclusive aspects of language, words
and related issues that are available only in Telangana and nowhere
else. Since it is only in Telugu language in which literature pertaining
to different genres appeared for the first time, there must be
discussion on this aspect. Programmes should be organised on universally
acclaimed commentators like Mallinathudu. The yeoman service by our
former princely states in Telangana must be explained in the
conference”.</p>
<p><em><strong>Bhoomayya….</strong></em> “There shall be a programme on
the Dwipada style of poetical form which was attempted successfully for
the first time by the great poet Palkurki Somanadhudu and wrote books”.</p>

to be well documented for reference to future generations”.</p>
<p><em><strong>Kovela Suprasannaa Charya……</strong> </em>“There shall be
a library to be developed exclusively for preserving every book written
and published by Telangana writers. The 14-year Telangana struggle for
separate statehood shall be brought out in the form of a book. There
shall be a souvenir on martyrs. Unwritten literature of Telangana being
passed on from generation to generation should be brought to limelight.
Every literary aspect connected to women as well as cultural aspects
should find a place in the WTC. There has to be a program exclusively
for Telangana women poets”.</p>
<p><em><strong>Tirumala Srinivasa Charya……</strong> </em>“All those who
did extensive research on Telangana literature and language must be
recognized in the conference. Literary works of Telangana writers should
be made available at low price during conference. The Great Prabhandha
literary works of writers like Vanamamalai Varada Charyulu should be
published on this occasion. Name boards in Telugu should be written for
Hyderabad streets”.</p>

preference to Telangana and for persons from Telangana. The basis for
writing the history of Telangana shall be discussed in the meetings”.</p>

literary and cultural personalities. A photo exhibition need to be
