Andhra Pradesh Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Cinematography, Kandula Durgesh, has urged educators to actively promote a love for the Telugu language among students, emphasizing the importance of preserving and nurturing one’s mother tongue.

Addressing a gathering at the Government Girls’ High School in Nidadavolu on the occasion of International Mother Language Day, the minister extended his greetings to Telugu-speaking people across the world and spoke about the rich heritage and greatness of the Telugu language.

Reflecting on the contributions of legendary figures, including Sri Krishnadevaraya, Minister Durgesh highlighted the remarkable journey of the Telugu language and the efforts of countless literary luminaries who have ensured its prominence over the centuries. He stressed that educators play a crucial role in passing on this legacy to the younger generation.

“It is the duty of every teacher to instill a deep appreciation for Telugu among students while also helping them understand the necessity of learning English. The two languages should complement each other in shaping well-rounded individuals,” Durgesh remarked.

Minister Durgesh reaffirmed that the coalition government of Andhra Pradesh remains dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Telugu language. Drawing parallels with Tamil Nadu, where the Tamil language has been strongly upheld, he encouraged Telugu speakers to take similar initiatives to protect and strengthen their linguistic identity.

As the Minister for Culture, he assured that he would work tirelessly to support Telugu linguistic and cultural development. “If our mother tongue disappears, our identity as a Telugu people will be lost as well. It is our collective responsibility to safeguard its future,” he asserted. The two languages should complement each other in shaping well-rounded individuals,” Durgesh remarked.
