GTA USA Board meeting held in Detroit to work with Telangana Govt. & NGOs to launch projects in healthcare, education, employment, immigration & business. 10,000+ members & volunteers enlisted, presence in 50+ countries, goal to touch 100.
The inaugural Board meeting of the Global Telangana Association (GTA) of U.S.A. held in Detroit decided to work with both the Telangana Government and NGOs to launch projects in healthcare, education, employment, immigration and business sectors in the Telangana State.
The Board discussed a variety of issues and initiatives concerning the Telangana community and decided to rope in Telangana communities across the world for the new initiatives to be taken up in Telangana. The GTA executive committee, Board of Trustees and over 100 delegates from all over the U.S.A. attended the brainstorming sessions.
GTA U.S.A. president Praveen Kesireddy said GTA is fast gaining popularity and memberships and there are already 10,000 plus members and volunteers enlisted into the new organisation and the figure would go up with Telangana communities in South America, Africa, Europe and Australia being roped in to strengthen the organisation.
GTA chairman, Vishweshwar Kalvala said GTA, after its formal inception in 2022 in India and the U.S.A., has a presence in 50-plus countries already now while the goal is to touch 100 within the term of the present Board. The global chapters will work with GTA units at the district level in India in order to achieve the desired results.
Mr. Praveen Kesireddy said a GTA Worldwide convention is being planned either in the July-August or December time frame next year. Later, in the evening, GTA Detroit entertained the gathering of more than 700 people from all parts of the U.S.A. with ‘Telangana Dhoom Dhaam’ — a colourful cultural extravaganza.
The performances by the Cultural Team — singers Abhigna Yanaganti, Spoorthi Jithender, Pravallika Neerati, Sristi Chilla, Anjani Krishna Prasad, Srinivas Durgam & Jaligama brothers — Praveen and Krishna Prasad, dance performances by local kids from Zahara group, and mimicry by Vikas Vulli were spellbinding.
The cultural coordination team comprising Suma Kalvala, Sushma Padukone, and Shirisha Reddy conducted the evening’s proceedings with great precision.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
