Dear TTA Family,
Warm greetings to you all!
It is a privilege to be part of the Telangana American Telugu Association (TTA) and to serve our community through this respected organization. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our Founder, Dr. Pailla Malla Reddy garu, for establishing TTA and giving all of us a strong platform to preserve our identity, promote our culture, and serve society. I also extend my respectful thanks to the Advisory Council—Chair Shri Vijayapal Reddy garu, Co-Chair Dr. Mohan Reddy Patalolla garu, and Advisory Council Members Shri Bharath Reddy Madadi garu and Shri Srinivas Anugu garu—for their continuous guidance, vision, and support.
I am also thankful to our President Mr. Naveen Reddy Mallipeddi garu and the entire leadership team for their trust and encouragement. I have always been looking for the right channel to give back to society in a meaningful way, and I am grateful that I found that opportunity through TTA—a platform where service, culture, and community growth come together with purpose.
Under this leadership, I have been honored with the opportunity to serve at the national level as the National Development Director and as a Member of the Executive Committee. My goal in this role is to expand TTA’s presence across the United States—reaching Telugu families wherever they live and keeping them connected to our Telangana Telugu culture, festivals, language, and values.
Since I am from Dallas, one of my key focus areas has been to strengthen and revive TTA’s presence in the Dallas/DFW region. With the support of our leadership and the dedication of a wonderful Dallas team, we were able to rebuild strong momentum—bringing back cultural engagement and community participation after a long gap. Over the past year, we successfully organized cultural celebrations, impactful webinars, and meaningful outreach programs that helped create a stronger connection to Telugu culture for families in the area.
Service is a major part of my personal mission. Along with cultural activities, we have actively contributed through charitable initiatives such as:
Food drives and meal packing / meal preparation for those in need
Blood donation and community volunteer efforts
Supporting community needs through consistent outreach and service programs
We also made a strong effort to engage youth and encourage healthy community bonding by organizing large sports competitions and youth-focused activities, creating platforms for participation, teamwork, and leadership.
I am grateful to have been entrusted with another important responsibility this year as the Convention Convenor for the 2026 TTA Mega Convention. This is my biggest goal for the year: to work closely with leadership, volunteers, and every TTA member to make this convention a grand success through meticulous planning, teamwork, and dedication.
Let us continue to work together—hand-in-hand—to strengthen our community, celebrate our heritage, and serve with purpose.
With warm regards,
Praveen Chintha
National Development Director & Convention Convenor, TTA
