Hyderabad, July 28 (Maxim News): Telangana Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Tuesday said the proposed Telangana Television Awards should reflect the state’s identity, culture, and heritage.
He directed the Television Awards Committee to prepare the award guidelines, logo, and other proposals at the earliest.
The minister chaired a review meeting with the Television Awards Committee to discuss the framework for the state’s first television awards. MLC Shankar Naik, Film Development Corporation (FDC) Managing Director Mukunda Reddy, committee chairman, members, and senior officials attended the meeting.
During the meeting, the committee discussed the design of the awards logo, naming the awards after a distinguished personality, award categories, selection process, and the venue for the ceremony.
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said television remains one of the most popular entertainment mediums, especially among women and senior citizens. He said the awards would recognise excellence across all sections of the television industry, including artists, technicians, serials, programmes with strong social messages, and children’s productions.
The minister said he would discuss the committee’s proposal to name the awards after former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
He described P.V. Narasimha Rao as a visionary leader, a multilingual scholar, and the architect of India’s economic reforms, adding that the government is open to considering the names of such eminent personalities.
Komatireddy instructed the committee to finalise the guidelines, logo, and award names as soon as possible. He said the logo and branding should clearly represent the spirit, culture, and uniqueness of Telangana.
The minister also directed that the state’s first Television Awards be organised on a prestigious scale and stressed that the selection of award recipients should be transparent, fair, and impartial.
He asked FDC Managing Director Mukunda Reddy to take special initiative in organising the awards and prepare two or three venue options for the award ceremony.
The minister said the government would take a final decision on the Television Awards after discussing all the committee’s recommendations with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. (Maxim News)
