VISAKHAPATNAM: By drafting all the documents related to district administration in Telugu language, one could assist the enhancement of usage of the language, opined Andhra Pradesh Official Language Committee chairman ABK Prasad.

Speaking at an awareness meet on Telugu language here on Wednesday, Prasad said the awareness meet was being conducted 40 years after the language committee was established, which was quite harmful for the development of the language.

It is high time that Andhraites should think about the development of their mother tongue.

Nizamabad district has achieved the status of using Telugu language in day-to-day office work and has got good results as well, he said and added that Telugu language should become the official language in true sense in the entire State. It was the responsibility of the officials to communicate with people in their language, Prasad said.
