Dear  Friends of Telangana,
 
Hope you all are aware of the ‘Essay Writing Competitions’ activity which is in progress. I wish to remind you that essay writing competitions was initiated last year with the support from you and other friends and groups which has been big success and is now growing into a large scale activity to engage you and students of Telangana in serious reflection and study of our conditions.  I request your support to this activity again to strengthen the efforts in enslisting participation of around 3000 to 5000 students in each district in this activity.
 
This is to instill a sense of pride about our culture and heritage and to also promote interest in understanding of issues and situation in regard to our Telangana. It has a few cash prizes for the best essays and the certificates to encourage participation of the students.
 
It is going to be a big event this year. The activities are gradually becoming widespread and there are increasing number of volunteers and members taking part in building the awareness on Telangana among our younger generation. This year we plan to take up the essay writing competitions to the university level too in addition to school and college levels like in the previous year on themes in Telugu, English and Urdu languages. Locally it is also held in Hindi in Adilabad and also some students of Warangal are writing in braille. 
 
There are teams of volunteers and Convenors for each district to coordinate and organise the competitions, select the best essays for the prizes and also organise the prize distribution programmes and talks on this occasion. The activity is initiated and media in districts has also covered it significantly. The essay competitions conclude by end of the month. Final programme of prize distribution and talks will be held on 17 September on the occasion of Telangana Vimochana Dinotsavam.  
 
We need your support in the form of
• financial support either individually or on behalf of the Telangana focused groups you are associated with to your own district or in general 
• informing your friends and contacts in Telangana districts about the activity
We need Rs 2.4 lakh for the Essay Writing Competitions that include prize amount, functions/ meetings in all ten districts, pamphlets and stationery, communications and publication of a book comprising the best essays and special articles written by experts on the select themes.
 
All contributors will be acknowledged in the prize distribution functions as well as for the book. Back cover of the book will have details of the sponsors. Contributions,  large or small amounts, are requested as in some district the need may be more than others. 
  
We have initiated the activity with the hope that it will be supported by all well wishers. We are also trying to mobilise the resources partly from friends and supporters in the districts. This also helps us build and enlist support base from large number of individuals and groups.
 
Kindly speak to our friends and enlist their support to the activity. Please make your invaluable contribution in favour of Telangana Utsav Committee, A/c No 1111 2011 0003 47 Oriental Bank of Commerce.
