Telugu Association of North America (TANA) president Mohan Nannapaneni on Saturday said the association would adopt 100 villages in the State.
The association has been spending more than Rs. 10 crore every year for various development programmes in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It organised 17 health camps in the two States from December 2014 to January this year. “We want to partner with the AP government for the skill development programme.
Towards this initiative, we want to play a crucial role in bridging the gap between industries in the United States and AP government, and discussions are already on with several companies,” Mr. Nannapaneni said. The 20{+t}{+h}TANA National Conference will be organised from July 2 to 4 at Detroit, and industrialists from as many as 20 countries are expected to participate. “We have invited US President Barack Obama, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhara Rao and 600 other dignitaries from the country for the conference,” Mr. Nannapaneni added.
Thanking Mr. Naidu for recognising the good work done by TANA, he said the association would strive to promote Telugu language and culture.
