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.

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.
*The views expressed by the participant scholars are:* Professor Gopi.

*Professor Gopi…*. “Let the WTC not just be limited to mere literature but
should include a gamut of language-culture-literary combination”.

*Ravva Srihari….* “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”.

*Bhoomayya….* “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”.
Sujata Reddy.

*Sujata Reddy….* “Different styles of art works must be displayed”.

*Malladi Rajender…… *“There needs to be discussion on literature related to
legal matters”.

*B Ramulu……* “Telangana’s food culture shall be exhibited and should become
part of the conference. Families in toto and as a whole shall be enabled to
participate in this great festival”.

*GS Varadachary……* “Telangana government commemorating the WTC shall come
out with a Language Policy Document”.

*Professor Chinamallayya……* “After completion of Intermediate,
opportunities must be provided for language training in Telugu”.
Velchala Kondal Rao……. “There shall be discussion on translation process”.

*Ampasayya Naveen…….* “With the help and involvement of experts in the
field monographs are to be got prepared on various literary genres of
Telangana. The entire proceedings of WTC are to be well documented for
reference to future generations”.

*Kovela Suprasannaa Charya…… *“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”.

*Tirumala Srinivasa Charya…… *“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”.
Ammangi Venugopal.

*Jayaraj…… *“The conference shall depict the symbols of literary-cultural
festivals. The Telangana food varieties shall be made available. The
Telangana song should find a prominent place in the conference”.

*Ammangi Venugopal…… *“There shall be short films on famous Telangana
temples like Yadadri and Vemulawada. System of issuing gazette
notifications and GOs in Telugu shall be introduced”.
Anisetti Rajita.

*Anisetti Rajita……* “It should appear that the conference is held against
the background of Telangana-Decani culture.

Prominence shall be given to songs that spearheaded the Telangana movement.
Let there be separate programmes depicting language styles of different
districts”.
Varala Anand.

*Varala Anand……* “Cine artists from Telangana state who produced meaningful
and message oriented pictures without any commercial considerations shall
figure in deliberations. In due course a film institute to be established
involving the cine artists from Telangana who reached the pinnacle in the
field”.

*Kandikonda…… *“The cine lyric writers shall be properly recognised as part
of conference. A musical night with Telangana cine lyric writers shall be
organized”.

*Narayana Reddy…… *“There shall be absolute preference to Telangana and for
persons from Telangana. The basis for writing the history of Telangana
shall be discussed in the meetings”.

*Sangisetti Srinivas……* “There need to be “Telanganaism”. Streets should be
named after the great Telangana literary and cultural personalities. A
photo exhibition need to be organized highlighting various facets of the
first and next Telangana agitation. Auditoria shall be named after
Taramati, Baradari and Tanisha. The Telugu literature of the days of Qutab
Shahi and Asafjahi should get its due recognition”.

*Gorati Venkanna……* “Let us respect our neighbouring Telugu brethren”

*Juluri Gowrishankar……*” Due publicity to be accorded to the lyric written
by Raavella Venkat Ramaiah”.

*Mahender……* “The colloquial Dialect of Telangana shall be publicised”.

literature”.
