Welcome to the Australian Telangana State Association.
Australian Telangana State Association previously known as the Australian Telangana Forum. Established in 2006 initially worked along with US-based Telangana Development Forum with an objective to promote Telangana culture in Sydney and in Australia and support to separate statehood for Telangana in India.
Our association was founded by few enthusiastic, dedicated and service-oriented members of the community who strongly believed that separate state for Telangana is inevitable and in 2006 our founder members celebrated Bathukamma festival along with Telangana liberation day by signing a petition to President, Prime Minister and Lower and Upper house of Indian parliament to respect people’s desire who are waiting for to see separate Telangana 60 long years. Since 2006 members of the association supported and worked with several political and non -political committees including Telangana Join Action Committee till the historic decision of statehood was announced. Members of Telangana decent of Australia felt proud of this lifetime desire that allowed self-rule by Telangana people in Telangana state.
Our commitment to promoting Telangana culture in Sydney and in Australia was commendable; ever since we started the Bathukamma festival in 2006 we got massive support from local communities and gave us the inspiration to reach out to other states in Australia and to New Zealand and supported them on Telangana cultural events. Australian Telangana State Association actively work with local communities and participate in the Clean Up Australia event and also saved several lives through regular blood donation camps. We conduct health and wealth seminars to make sure members of the community health and wealth are intact.
We support and encourage new immigrants and students to involve and participants by encouraging them to join the association and exposing them to wider communities.
Australian Telangana State Association invited and felicitated several artists writers and poets who contributed to the Telugu and Telangana communities. We also organize several “Meet & Greet” Social catch-ups from visitors from India who contributed to communities.
Australian Telangana State Association has grown year after year due to the dedication and continued support of many families and volunteers for the past 10 years. The annual and life members have been growing continuously. The current executive committee takes pride in representing the 10th anniversary of the association and wishes to contribute Australian Telangana State Association objectives and raise the bar in helping the communities.
