New Delhi (India), August 17: Telangana Kala Parishath. Founded by the Social Activist RajaRao Pagidipalli in the year 2016, a beacon of cultural enlightenment emerged on the horizon –this non-governmental organization (NGO) embarked on a remarkable journey with a singular aim: to champion and propagate the rich tapestry of Indian culture, with a special focus on the Telangana culture and tradition. What began as a humble cultural organization swiftly transformed into a dynamic social service force, reflecting the unwavering commitment of Telangana Kala Parishath to their cause.
The mantra of Telangana Kala Parishath was to illuminate the path of global harmony through the celebration and preservation of cultural heritage. Numerous cultural events and campaigns bore testament to this noble objective. A resplendent example was set in March 2017 when the NGO celebrated a monumental event, the Telangana Ugadhi Celebrations. This gala featured a multitude of cultural luminaries spanning diverse artistic domains, who graced the Chamber of Commerce Building in Khammam with their mesmerizing performances. The event’s significance was underscored by the felicitation of around 150 artists from various corners of Telangana by the esteemed local MLA, Shri Puvvada Ajay Kumar. A record-breaking achievement, this event earned a place in the annals of the Cultural Book of Records India. The commitment to promoting peace through cultural expressions remained unwavering. In September 2017, the Telangana Dasara Samburalu campaign unfolded, spanning a week of vibrant cultural manifestations. This noble initiative was inaugurated by notable figures like Ex Minister Shri Thummala Nageshwara Rao, then MP Shri Ponguleti Shrinivasa Reddy, and MLA Shri Puvvada Ajay Kumar. The campaign culminated in a captivating valedictory ceremony at Bhakta Ramdas Kalakshetram, attended by cultural emissaries from diverse states. Notably, this campaign earned the accolades of dignitaries like the Vice-President of India, Shri Venkaia Nayudu, and even resonated on the international stage, receiving commendations from Then Prime Minister of UK, Theresa May’s Office, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the United Nations.
The trajectory of Telangana Kala Parishath was marked by dynamic evolution. In January 2018, the organization celebrated the Sankranthi Sandhadi, a three-day extravaganza encompassing the display of a grand national flag, a film festival, rangoli competitions, and a dazzling array of cultural performances. The poets’ gatherings, meticulously organized by the NGO, served as platforms for raising voices against pressing social issues. This momentum continued with the Telangana Ugadhi Vedukalu in March 2019 at Hyderabad’s Ravindhra Bharathi, showcasing the organization’s enduring dedication. Yet, Telangana Kala Parishath was not confined to cultural realms alone. The organization demonstrated its commitment to societal well-being through its noble initiatives. In the wake of the Kerala floods, the Telangana Kala Jathara unfolded, providing moral support to the afflicted region. This endeavor resonated profoundly, even receiving the recognition and commendation of Chief Minister Shri Pinarayi Viajayn. The remarkable services of Telangana Kala Parishath merited an invitation to the esteemed Rashtrapati Bhavan by then President of India, Shri Ramnath Kovind, on 22 December 2019 in his visit to Telangana.
