Referring to the wealth of Telugu’s language, he saam, “every aspect of our lives, including our clothes, food habits, festivals, customs and work are reflected by literature.” He said, “Protecting and preserving Telugu and other Indian languages will enable our cultural sustenance and provide guidance to future generations to map the right path.” Naidu expressed happiness for basic education given in Koya through Telugu scripts in 920 schools in eight Andhra Pradesh districts and praised the government and education department officials for this initiative.
He suggested to achieve proficiency in a person’s mother tongue before learning another language and urged parents to take steps in this matter.
