Hyderabad, Dec.12 (Maxim News): People Must Take Pride Speaking Their Mother Tongue | Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu, today called for proactive and concerted efforts to increase the number of translations of literary classics in various Indian languages. In this regard, he suggested leveraging technological advancements in translation to make the rich heritage of regional Indian literature accessible to people in their own mother tongue.
In particular, Naidu praised the efforts of institutions such as Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University (PTSU) in translating classics such as ‘Amuktamalyada’ by Krishnadevaraya into other Indian languages. He called for more such efforts from similar universities to preserve and promote the use of different languages in India.
Addressing the Foundation Day celebrations of the Telugu University, the Vice President lauded the university’s commitment to preserve Telugu language, literature and history through various research initiatives. He paid tributes to the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, late N.T. Rama Rao, who took the initiative to establish the university. He also appreciated the efforts of the Telangana state government and the Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao in developing the university and furthering the cause of Telugu language and culture.
People Must Take Pride
`Noting that globalisation has had a widespread impact, the Vice President stressed that it must be ensured that the youth must not lose touch with their cultural heritage. Noting the importance of language in forming one’s identity and boosting self-confidence in the youth, Naidu said people must take pride in speaking in their mother tongue.

In this regard, Naidu called upon the universities to undertake advanced research in languages and improve the scientific and technical terminology in Indian languages in order to facilitate their wider reach and use in academia.
On this occasion, the Vice President presented awards to Dr. Kurella Vittalacharya, poet and critic and Kalakrishna, Kuchipudi dance proponent.
