His heart beats for Telugu
HYDERABAD: The next time an official file in English comes back to any Government department in Nizamabad district it would certainly have a stamp marked in Telugu.
"File sent back because not written in Telugu" is the stamp marked on all files sent to the Collector in English. By doing so Collector D. V. Raidu has set in motion a movement to promote Telugu in the day-to-day functioning of Government departments.
"I will not hesitate to send back any file if it is sent in English", Mr. Raidu firmly said after receiving the State-level award for effective implementation of Telugu in official use from Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
Trendsetter
The firm remarks on the file have given enough indication to Government employees working in various departments that the Collector is serious about the implementation of Telugu in official use. It is not surprising that more than 177 offices in the district started strictly enforcing use of Telugu.
Visitors to Government offices in the district are greeted with a signboard in Telugu.
The rubber stamp on files and other correspondence also reflects the use of the rich language. Explanation is sought from officials if they are not using Telugu in their correspondence.
Mr. Raidu told The Hindu that implementation of Telugu at village level was 98 per cent while it was 96 per cent in mandals. From 28 per cent in the district headquarters in 2004 today 80.55 per cent of the work was being done in Telugu.

So, President Bush has chosen all those areas carefully and in Hyderabad, he will be looking to kick-start a partnership in agriculture sector, something the Left parties have already started protesting against.
President Bush is expected to announce $50 million or more and India too will pump in as much to inject life and advance research in the stagnant sector.
Also, the two sides will look into how biotechnology and nanotechnology can help Indian agriculture, with the US lending a helping hand in water management.
* 'The nuclear deal was India's idea'
Bush will also visit the Indian School of Business, which has forged academic associations with three of the worlds leading business schools - Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School and London Business School. Here, he will meet young entrepreneurs, young economists, and IT and biotech experts.
The last engagement for the President in Hyderabad will be of great interest to the Telugu biddas living in US. He is expected to announce the opening of a US Consulate in Hyderabad.
Two pieces of outstanding statistics have forced the US administration to request the President to make this announcement. A survey conducted a couple of years ago had found that 30 per cent of the Indian IT workforce in the US were from Andhra. And, in the last 20 years, the largest number of US visa seekers have been from the state. They are forced to travel to Chennai, New Delhi or Mumbai for visa interviews.
