Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy today conveyed his wishes to Telugu people all over the world on the eve of ‘Telugu Language Day’.

The birth anniversary of late Gidugu Ramamurthy, who campaigned for simplifying Telugu, is celebrated as the ‘Telugu Language Day’ (August 29) every year.

Observing that his government initiated various steps for the promotion of Telugu, an official release quoted Reddy as saying that the ‘4th World Telugu Meet’ will be held in Tirupati in December this year.

After the Centre recognised Telugu as a classical language, the government is making efforts to set up the Telugu literature centre in Hyderabad, which has hitherto been functioning at Mysore.
