Dear Friends and well-wishers, It is my pleasure & proud moment to launch new Telugu organization Mana American Telugu Association ( MATA) that represents both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and assume the responsibility of first President of MATA that focuses on three core principles of Seva, Samskrithi, and Samanathvam. I am honored and humbled to serve all Telugus living in the North America regardless of their region and community. I assure you all that the organization will focus on core principles and provide opportunity to all equally. Our organization focuses on Seva and less focus on the conventions. As the President of this esteemed organization, I am here to set up MATA chapters across USA and increase the membership with the help of the community. Each one of us have a shared responsibility to be involved in whatever way we can to shape up our community to be better, relay our rich traditions to the next generation, and help each other to grow as individuals and as a community! The organization’s mission of serving the Telugu Indian-American community is achieved by organizing regional activities, meetings, and biennial theme based low budgeted conventions to celebrate Telugu culture and traditions. We are planning to establish the organization in all states and bring all Telugus to one platform where we have true representation of all communities including youth and women participation. We have launched the organization in NJ on April 14 with more than 3000 support and it is spreading across North America and India, my sincere request to each of you is to help me in spreading the word to ensure that MATA name reached to every house hold. I request all of you to come together to preserve and enrich the Telugu culture, resolve to be of help to fellow citizens when in need, and carry the Telugu flagship to the next level. Srinivas Ganagoni
