Nizamabad : Collectors to be feted for making Telugu official

Nizamabad first in the State in implementing Telugu as official language
  • YSR to felicitate three Collectors at function on Feb.21
  • 177 offices in Nizamabad district implementing Telugu
  • English typewriters are being replaced in every office
NIZAMABAD: The Andhra Pradesh Official Languages Commission on the occasion of the International Mother Tongue Day, on February 21, will honour three district Collectors, D.V. Raidu (Nizamabad), Y.V. Anuradha (Anantapur) and Anil Kumar Singhal (the then East Godavari Collector and now Visakhapatnam Collector) for effectively implementing Telugu as the official language.

Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy will felicitate them at a function -- "Bhasha Mahotsavam" -- to be held at Lalitha Kalatoranam in Hyderabad, according to an official release.

Nizamabad district stood first in the State in the implementation of Telugu as the official language as the administration had taken several steps for it. As many as 177 offices in the district have been implementing it strictly and all signboards and rubber stamps of the officials have been made in Telugu.

Strict measures

Sending of files in Telugu language have been made compulsory. If any file is received in English at the Collector's office explanation is being called for and even charge memos are being issued.

English typewriters are being replaced in every office. As a result, till date Telugu is used 98 per cent in official transactions at village level, at mandal level it is 96 per cent and at district level it is 80.55 per cent. At district level it was 28 per cent in 2004 and 74 per cent in 2005.

The Official Language Commission member, Kaluva Mallaiah during his recent visit to the district has appreciated the district Collector for taking a special interest and making significant efforts for implementing Telugu as the official language in the district.
