Silicon Andhra

Silicon Andhra had always been supportive of the social causes I’m involved with. Greatly impressed by the enthusiasm, selflessness and compassion of the Silicon Andhra team. The Leaders and team never hesitated to conceive, execute and complete any projects that involved helping the global good, be it hospital, schools, University. I feel so privileged to be part of the Organization.

Their team, programs and execution is awesome. The leadership has visionary and executed projects like any corporate company.

My kids learnt telugu well and they are communicating with their grand parents without any hesitation because of the SiliconAndhra Manabadi. They have such a nice curriculum which we can’t find anywhere else. Overall It was a great experience ������������

Silicon andhra is a connected organization providing telugu culture out of India. It is such a privelage to be a part of this community! Silicon andhra has great initiatives such as Manabadi, Sampada, UofSA etc which cultivates language and culture for busy souls abroad. SIliconandhra strives hard to ensure tangible benefits (accreditation) while learning language and arts for next generations.
Giving back to the community not just in US but back in homeland ( Kuchipudi, India) by providing medical services to the needy with Sanjeevani hospital, helping rural woman with self pride initiative and so on.
My best wishes to Siliconandhra team for a successful journey.

Silicon Andhra is shining light on culture to an extent that every kid benefits from learning with innovative thoughts of accreditation and HS credits. Great opportunity for expatriates to find home away from home and show the roots of mother tongue to kids.
Apart from this SA organizes numerous activities on culture to brings us all together. Wish them a great success.

I joined this organization a little while ago as a volunteer for the FLYH fundraising club for the Sanjeevani hospital and it has been a great experience. The team has been so welcoming and informative, and I know that the money that we raise will go to a good cause.

It is a wonderful organization with great people behind it. It has people working with a positive and open mindedness. Everything everyone does in this organization has helped and served many people wholeheartedly. Very fortunate to be part of this organization.

Siliconandhra is a wonderful organization & i am proud to be volunteer at such a prestigious organization. All the very best for all the future endeavors !!

I enjoy volunteer at Silicon Andhra. I am a teacher at Manabadi, this year teaching Prasunam.

Away from home and away from culture. But Manabadi make sure you are close to Telugu language and culture as we make our kids learn language and we dive ourself into past thru the all the beautiful stories and poems that we learnt as a child. And our kids do the same.

Excellent organization
in helping people in different ways.

Silicon Andhra is a wonderful organization to provide the great services to Telugu community in USA. This non profitable organization has a mission to spread our culture and the main motivation is to promote Telugu language to the younger generation as much as possible. I feel proud that I am a part of this organization to serve somethings to the kids in Manabadi. As a teacher, I love to work with the kids to teach the course curriculum.
Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi Pisupati

Silicon Andhra is doing very good job to promote TELUGU language for the younger generations. The main aim of this non profitable organization is to create the cultural identity in the youth especially and also providing a good healthcare in the rural areas of India (Kuchipudi village,Krishna District,AP). My both of the sons are the students of Silicon Andhra ManabaDi and I feel proud that my wife is also contributing(teaching) in ManabaDi to support my TELUGU community.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi Kumar Pisupati.

This organization is very useful and helpful for kids in foreign countries.

Siliconandhra is a great nonprofit organization which promotes Telugu language, culture and various art forms. I’ve been associated with the organization for over 5 years. The organization has initiated various projects like Sampada, Annamayya, FYLH Sanjeevani, TCF which I’ve been a part of proudly. Best wishes for future initiatives.

SiliconAndhra is one of the prestigious non-profit organization which promotes and raise awareness of Indian culture and tradition among the Telugu speaking people of United States of America.
One of the key objectives of Silicon Andhra is to educate the kids and youth born in US about the rich cultural ,art, music, dance, language, poetry, traditions and family values. The organization has sprouted many other pillars like ManaBadi, SAMPADA, University of SiliconAndhra, PalukuBadi and many more.

Thanks
Kiran Duddagi

Silicon Andhra is the greatest place to maintain the Telugu Culture and Language among Telugu speaking people of the USA, this is a non-profit organization represents the aspirations of Telugu people in several authentic traditional ways.
I like the most important thing is learning & teaching the Telugu language for the children through ManaBadi school which is the most important foundation for retaining mother tongue heritage for the next generations,
I'm fortunate and privileged to be part of ManaBadi volunteer and coordinating events with the association of children and parents.

Thanks

SiliconAndhra has been doing incredible service to mankind in promoting culture, education, and art throughout the world ! Their relentless efforts of helping the mankind, empowering young adults to raise funds for humanitarian causes, providing a common worldwide forum for education and certification in language and performing arts are greatly appreciated and recognized by several communities and organizations worldwide. The fact that they won 9 Guinness book of world records is an epitome of their quality and excellence in charity and humanitarianism. So many young hearts are turning into future leaders through this organization !

Good organization that helps kids learn their mother tongue through a systematic and methodical approach.

Manabadi is a non profit organization with great values. Kids come to school with great interest and I see a lot of progress in the kids. A lot of kids started speaking Telugu. The school not only teaches values but also the importance of the mother tongue. I recommend Manabadi to my friends and family. The school also encourages the Manabadi Graduates to volunteer as assistant teachers(Bala Guruvulu) again. I feel privileged to be a volunteer teacher.

They help our children to learn our language with a whole lot of volunteers. It is not just conversation but also how to read and write. Language is most important to pass on culture and values to our next generations.

Best place to nurture our kids and pass on the rich cultural heritage of telugu states

A very dedicated organization to spread the culture and language. The team is always there to help and spread positivity among youngsters and clearly showing the endless possibilities how language connects people and use of the extra skill in day to day life. In this global world bring communities together is one of the biggest achievement of this organization.

Thanks to Manabadi for hosting this Manabadi Telugu classes in America, and giving an opportunity for kids to learn Telugu. Appreciate the great service for a great cause.

Thanks
Murthy

Great opportunity for the volunteers for the future generations

Silicon Andhra is a great non-profit organization with a great cause of teaching mother tongue to kids and adults internationally. It has initiated many other programs to spread and preserve Indian and Telugu culture for future generations! I have been associated with this organization as a volunteer for past 10 years.

SiliconAndhra is a great global not for profit organization in promoting Indian languages, culture, arts in various forms and community development for all levels of ages.

Some of the projects that me and my family are associated with are: MANABADI (Results oriented Telugu Language Teaching with prescribed curriculum and standards in place), SAMPADA (Various Art forms Certification Courses for all levels), ANNAMAYYA (Promoting compositions written by great Poet Annamayya), TCF (Festival to bring back community together by way of show casing various art forms in one platform), SANJIVANI (Building hospital for rural areas where in need).

Me and my family are very glad to work with such a wonderful principled organization and supporting team.

Very well organized way of service to culture and language very proud to be part of silicon Andhra family

Excellent program! thank you for the initiative and reviving Telugu language. So happy to see young kids learning Telugu!!

Indian kids who are Born and brought up in US had no knowledge on local language which their parents speak at home. Through this university now my kids are able to well communicate with family members back in India and also are also able to read and write Telugu language which is proud feeling for parents

Teaching Telugu is a privilege through silicon andhra manabadi.

My name is Kanyakumari Peruri, I am a parent, teacher, location coordinator and South regional coordinator for NJ. I am very proud to be a part of Silicon Andhra.

Sorry to tell this but I want you to know my regrets on this class. My daughter was studying from her 5 yr old in Manabadi. But there was no any good response for the efforts of my daughter, my husband and myself.

We are basically a Chennai based Telugu speaking family so we don't know the script. She has not missed even a single class in these 4 years. But the result is nothing. I have so much importance to mother tongue and was very eager that she would write and speak at least the basic.
Having volunteer teachers for all the concerns only reason is that they are also parents like you, they cannot put anything more than this.

Two hours she use to be in the class. She is such a good student to her teachers. In the sense of proper attention is given my daughter is great performer.

After 1st 2 yrs after reaching pravesam they did not concentrate on her. Just they easily told she had to repeat pravesam. If the teacher and center coordinator had put some efforts and then told this I would have felt ok. But the whole year they kept quite and at the end of the year they are telling your daughter performance is not sufficient.

She had 100% attendence. I even requested them that I am ready to pay additionally for any tuition or extra classes. They appointed a 8th grade student to teacher. It was of no use.
Again it waste of time. For everything I supported them.

Finally daughter gained nothing from this class of 4 yrs paying $1200.

Only happiness is the annual recital.
She use to sing some Telugu rhymes,
all because I made her practice at home.

This teaching and syllabus is not fit for parents like me who don't know the script.
Basically they are happy with kids who clear the exams not about the struggling kids and parents like me.
I am sure this would be the case in all the centers, my case is Fremont south.

I am sure they put lots of efforts but
Nothing was useful to me.

Amazing organization can wonders and did many. I was involved almost day one, my life tied to SiliconAndhra. I always feel I could completely dedicate for the organization.

Great achievement is recent inauguration of Hospital in rural India serving 100K+ poor and lower middle class citizens of India. It was great journey and kudos to entire organization.

Back in US continues efforts to connect the community through culture and arts. University of SiliconAndhra is icon which is growing day by day offering many courses.

I can write all my day about SiliconAndhra however from bottom of my heart I feel this is the best organization to get Top Rate.

గత ఆరేళ్ళ నుండి సిలికానాంధ్ర కార్యక్రమాలను గమనించిన అనుభవం తో నా అభిప్రాయాలను తెలియజేస్తున్నాను.
ముఖ్యంగా చిన్న పిల్లలకు తెలుగులో చదవడం , మాట్లాడం మరియు వ్రాయడం నేర్చుకోవడం వలన మనబడి ద్వారా మాతృభాషను గుర్తుంచుకొని విదేశంలో వున్నా స్వదేశంలో ఉన్నా మనే భావన తో ఉండడం ఎంతో అభినందనీయం, ఆదిమాకెంతో గర్వకారణం.

Silicon Andhra is an organization which is for ever committed for creating/providing basic facilities to the people of rural areas in the fields of Art, Infrastructure, Health Care, Education etc.

Kuchipudi village in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, India is provided with Cement Concrete Roads, Renovation of Schools, Drinking Water Taps & Lavatories for individual homes, Parks LED Street Lights etc. I personally witnessed the happiness of villagers as they are leading a much better life than before. And people of village always express their gratitude to Silicon Andhra for this.

Recently commissioned Sanjivani Multi-Specialty Hospital in the village not only takes care of medical needs of the people of village but also the needs of people of many villages around it as well. This is a fabulous gesture on the part of Silicon Andhra. This hospital would save thousands lives as there is no multi-specialty hospital nearby.

The relentless services being rendered by Silicon Andhra towards basic needs of society is phenomenal. Commitment of Management and Volunteers towards this is awesome.

Our kids enjoy learning telugu, as it makes easy to communicate with us and our parents. We encourage SiliconAndhra to coming up with more programs like Manabadi.

It has been a blessing to send my kid to the language classes they offer. My kid not only developed interest but also able to talk to grandparents in our language

SiliconAndhra has been the back bone of Telugu (a south Indian language) with respect to language, culture, literature and heritage. They have done tremendous work in this language and have propagated and preserved our language not only in America but also in other countries outside of India. They achieve this by regularly conducting cultural events that depict Indian Language, Culture, Literature and heritage and will also make kids part of it, so they are motivated to learn and keep in tough with this rich language.

They have established Telugu school called "Manabadi" to enable kids who were born and brought up in countries outside India to learn Telugu Language and keep in touch with their cultural roots. In most of the centers and school districts, this study also accounts for foreign language credits for high school students.

They have also established the first University for Indian Studies outside of India called "University of Silicon Andhra" and have been offering amazing courses in Indian arts and languages and have been running the university successfully for 2 years.

They also have a program named "Sampada", which quantifies an Indian fine art learned by a student from any guru by conducting junior and senior level certification exams.
For all the above academics there is a curriculum set by reputed universities and stalwarts in the field of study.

Only few organizations can boast of some ordinary people coming together on common purpose and accomplishing extraordinary results, that too without any personal or commercial gains!
SiliconAndhra and it’s team are so motivated to make a difference in the world that they are not only doing amazing things by themselves but are being a superb motivation and role model for many others to follow. Proud to be associated with a great organization with a common purpose and vision!

An organization that is promoting the great Telugu language by teaching them to the future generation, i.e. kids, in various countries of the world.

I've two girls(level 2 & 4) in Manabadi school. I love the concept of my kids learning mother tongue inspite of us being far from motherland. The volunteers in the organization are so enthusiastic and very passionate to teach kids . My kids enjoy the classes and learn at the same time. I recommend the classes to anyone who want their kids to learn the Telugu language.

A great organization which is working to spread the greatness & beauty of the Telugu language across the globe
Very honest & friendly organization

SiliconAndhra is a nonprofit organization that I am proud to be a part of. SiliconAndhra’s efforts in the past have helped hundreds of thousands of people in rural villages in South India and they are still going to continue helping these people in need. SiliconAndhra has built bus stations, public restrooms and toilets in households that didn’t have them, paved roads for better travel and transportation of goods, and their most recent project was building a $5 million multi-specialty hospital that would provide quality healthcare to 156 villages in India. I joined SiliconAndhra’s nationwide initiative, Future Young Leaders for Humanity, which was comprised of youth leaders across the U.S. that raised money in their states to donate for the creation of this hospital, and I successfully raised approx. $10,000 for he buildin of this hospital. The hospital just recently opened on Oct. 18th, and it is now helping thousands of poverty stricken villagers receive healthcare that wasn’t provided before. SiliconAndhra plans to continue providing the necessary amenities and institutions for better living in places that are in need and have skyrocketing poverty levels.

With its relentless pursuit of quality and excellence in promoting culture, community development, and providing humanitarian services, SiliconAndhra achieved greater heights in whatever project/program it has taken up. It inspired adults, youth, kids from all around the world to be part of a global family that not only serves mankind but also produces next gen leaders !

I am very glad to work with such an wonderful and supporting team....It is a blessing to be a part of silicon andhra ....

One of leading Nonprofits in world making a difference in the lives of thousands of people with the noble pursuit to support traditional arts and languages..

The only not for profit started by Telugu community in USA that is stick to its ideals of promoting Indian art and culture in our form without any deviation. Their commitment is ultimate. Their recent projects Manabadi. SAMPADA, Sanjivini hospital are one of its kind initiatives done by any not for Profit organisations. Undoubtedly they are doing a great service.

Nothing in life gives me the satisfaction than serving community through this organization

Silicon Andhra has been doing really great job in all aspects. It has adopted a historic village and totally changed the image of the village. Now it has undertaken a construction of Hospital that caters to more than 100 villages around Sanjivani. I have been very scared to make donations all through to any non profit organisations because our hard earned money is not going to the right people. But once I closely involved and observed the activities and progress, every dollar is being wisely and correctly spend and is reaching to the needy the way it should. Just can't express how grateful we all are to this organisation !!

Silicon Andhra is growing a lot every year and offering more services to poor people in Rural India by adopting villages, improving the infrastructure, providing rehabilitation and building hospitals to provide healthcare.

I was approached by eminent collegues of Indian classical music to work as a faculty member with Silicon Andhra. Though i was a little tentative at the beginning, I realised quite fast, that this was a group of people whose dedication to the cause of propagation and education in core areas of Indian heritage-learning such as live performing arts traditions and literature is far beyond what I had imagined or come across in my experience as an academic. This is a team that long term vision. They dreams big, and at the same time have the technical capability and resources to bring those dreams into reality. They are willing to take one step at a time, and move towards a larger goal progressively. The head of Silicon Andhra, Mr. Anand Kuchibhotla, has inspired a number of people in the community to take up the mission of SIlicon Andhra as their own, and contribute immensely to the cause. The team of Silicon Andhra, works not as a work-team, but more as a family and they take their responsibility to the students, families and staff members very seriously.

With a vision, leadership to carry forward that vision with efficiency and effiectiveness, resources to execute it, and a community rallying behind and willing to contribute their mite, SIlicon Andhra is sure to make waves in the near future.

I am very happy to say that my daughter is very lucky to be part of Manabadi. She learnt a lot of vocabulary and very good in writing and speaking.

Thanks to Manabadi team and Silicon Andhra to start this kind of nonprofit organization and providing Telugu literacy to the NRI kids.

Silicon Andhra has been a big part of our life. It's a great organization to keep our mother tongue Telugu and Telugu culture alive in our next generation. It provides various opportunities to showcase our children's talents in singing, dancing, poem recital etc. It is a great platform for our children to witness legendary performances in various fields of fine arts.

Silicon Andhra is a great Non Profit Organization and a role model for other non profits.
I was associated with Silicon Andhra activities since 2007, when I was the President of Telugu Association of Greater Chicago, another non profit organization. Since then I am involved in their major activities like Mana Badi, International Kuchipudi Dance festival etc,.
Their recent project of a 200 bed hospital at Kuchipudi Village in India is a role model.
I visited the KuchipudiVillage during Feb 2016 during my visit to India. I am amazed to see the progress in the Village after Silicon Andhra adopted it.
This organization far exceeds all the expectations of the well wishers and Donors, and challenges other non profits.
I wish the volunteers and Leadership all the best.

It has been a pleasure to be part of SiliconAndhra for the last 15 years. Organizations come and go, several of them struggle to last long for various reasons. But, with SiliconAndhra, I haven't seen any one having any ulterior motive, but sincerely working towards the core principles of promoting, keeping alive the culture both in time (for future generations) and space (all over the world), doing good to the community by taking up unsurmountable projects where there is such need, and succeeding. The leadership has awe inspiring vision that keeps broadening every day. It is a great place to be where learning never stops and provides opportunities/avenues to make world a better place. It is an all-embracing organization and has a close-knit family environment despite being spread across wide area.

Excellent way of learning Telugu .
Curriculum and teaching is good.

I have been associated with this non profit organization since past 5 years. All the volunteers in this organization are very dedicated. The organization works on great ethics and moral values.
We have been promoting all cultural values and Indian language Telugu effortlessly.
The organization has taught more than 6000 kids not only the language but also moral values by way of poems, stories etc.
The syllabus is also one of the kind in a very structured way.
The organization also works effortlessly for Indian classical dances and music.
The Kuchipudi village has been
Reformed with toilets, roads and hospital.
In my view no other organization does service with so much dedication as Siliconandhra.

SiliconAndhra is a great non profit organization spear heading change through selfless volunteering to maintain and continue the rich cultural heritage of ancient India for the benefit of the current and future generations.
It is a also a leader in spreading the love for Telugu language (Silicon Andhra Manabadi) through classroom teaching and cultural activities engagements through out the year. This is achieved through volunteers stepping up and providing selfless services to maintain very high standards. This has resulted in the program receiving several accreditations mainly WASC and high school credit for foreign language in several school districts through the United States.
Admire the vision and mission for this organization

They are good nonprofit organization working towards preserving traditional cultural art forms and building charitable institutions.

I have been associated with SiliconAndhra since its's inception. the leadership vision and execution through volunteers is great. This global organization has done so many valuable events which brought cultural awareness and thousands of families came together and treat each other as extended family.
Silicon Andhra always strives to pass on the cultural and linguistic legacy to next generation.
With minimal budget and amazing quality, Silicon Andhra has made it's mark.

SiliconAndhra is one of the best and most committed non profit organization i have ever worked on. Initial objective was to promote Telugu culture, language, art and literature, however it evolved as global organization serving entire Telugu community across the world. I am so proud and honored to be part of the family helping community across world.
In addition to multiple cultural events and teaching Telugu to many students across globe SiliconAndhra worked on developing Kuchipudi village and also building super specialty hospital which will be serving many villages across Machilipatnam district in Andhra Pradesh, India. Leaders like Anand Kuchibhatla, Raju Chamarthi, Dilip Kondiparti, and Deenababu kondubhotla dedicated their life leaving their professional life's for the development of people and Telugu Culture. Again I am so proud to be part of the family and i wish many joins the team.

Needs the professionalism among the group. It's run at the whims and fancies of few and has limited itself to those pockets.

There should be a transperent and unbiased audit process enabled in such NGOs when they reach higher donations plus expenditure.

Accountability is missing from top and volunteer bleed during their contributions.

I am associated with Siliconandhra since 2015 as a volunteer. It taught me how to give back to the community. I love and enjoy working for this amazing organization. The organization serves to uplift the Telugu language, our culture and tradition. Manabadi designed to teach Telugu language to children all over the world. Siliconandhra is also giving back to our country India through initiatives likes Jayaho Kuchipudi bringing education, roads, hospitals and modern facilities to the village that gifted to the world the dance art form Kichipudi. Proud to be a part of this amazing organization.

SiliconAndhra, synonymous for an extended family that helps upkeep Telugu culture, traditions and literature across the world, is the breath and heartbeat of many like me. I was introduced to the organization in 2001 by none other than Sri Anand Kuchibhotla and another dear friend, Sarala Nichanamatlu.

The many who took part in the first cultural event held by the organization were mesmerized, smitten and quickly embraced SiliconAndhra. It was just the beginning to a great journey of multiple successful initiatives that quenched the quest of many telugu and fine arts lovers across the globe. The passion of the leaders, volunteers and telugu community is what led to its quick success.

SiliconAndhra’s many initiatives impact the young positively in connecting with our roots, introducing them to learn and appreciate our literature, art and tradition. ManaBadi, Kuchipudi Sammelanams, Lakshagalarchana, University of SiliconAndhra, SAMPADA introduce, teach and enhance language, art and culture while, “Jayaho Kuchipudi”, Sanjivini lead one to give back to community and improve quality of life.

I love and I am proud to be part of this global family and forever wish the best.

SiliconAndhra is an amazing organization which has greater initiatives in preserving language, culture and heritage. Not only initiatives about preserving culture it has adopted Kuchipudi village and doing an amazing job in transforming the entire village. I am amazed by the initiatives of the organization. I am proud to be a volunteer in one it's initiatives of teaching Telugu language. I am proud to be a part of SiliconAndhra.

Silicon andhra is doing great work in promoting telugu language and culture so it's preserved for future generations. really appreciate of what they are doing...Please keep doing great work !

Modern era's universal mantra has been "Out with the old and in with the new". This phrase works well for many life situations but shouldn't be used for our culture and traditions. Embracing new technology shouldn't mean that we forget our rich 2500 years old cultural heritage.
I feel happy that Silicon Andhra is striving to perpetuate the Telugu culture, literature and values. From Kuchipudi dance conventions to showcase our dance to starting an university to facilitate learning telugu language, music and dance. Silicon Andhra is spearheading many initiatives.
I am very proud of their initiative "Jaiho Kuchipudi" . This project helped in development of basic infrasturcture, schools in Kuchipudi village. The organization is working towards development of a multi-specialty hospital which would serve Kuchipudi and 70 other neighboring villages. My kudos to Silicon Andhra and best wishes for all of their future endeavors.

I have been very fortunate to be associated to siliconandhra for the past 10years. We have learned so much about our culture, music , dance etc.
Siliconandhra is multi faceted they have
1. Manabadi where they teach Telugu ( a South Indian language) read, write & speak.
2. They have a university which is the first ever to be in USA where they are teaching Carnatic music & Kuchipudi , bharatanatyam dance forms.
3. They do have many literary & cultural events going on through the year where we get to experience they granduear of our Telugu culture.

Silicon Andhra does exemplary yeoman's service to Telugu speaking diaspora. They are very effective in propagating Telugu language and in doing so are building great bridges between the future and past generations and narrowing the language barriers between them!

I have been a member of SiliconAndhra since it's formation. The organization's goal is to introduce to the current and future generations very unique treasures of Indian culture and heritage such as, Padya Natakam (1000+ years old Drama art form), Annamacharya day (birthday of great composer from 1400s) and International Kuchipudi conventions (Dance art form from 10th century), to name a few. One of the greatest initiatives that I have been part of from Day 1 is "Manabadi", that is designed to teach Telugu language to children all over the world.
Silicon Andhra is also Giving back to our country India through initiatives like "Jayaho Kuchipudi", bringing education, roads, hospitals and modern facilities to the village that gifted to the world the dance art form Kuchipudi.

SiliconAndhra proves nothing is impossible if we put our minds and hearts to work for good and Noble causes. Proud to be a part of this amazing organization.

Wonderfully designed program that teaches our nativity and language. Excellent team leaders , Thank you for the selfless great works to which the generations now and future would greatly benefit. Inspired to be more engaged in this noble cause !!!

SiliconAndhra is my family's home away from home. It is an organization that breaks the stereotypes of an ethnic-cultural organization. Over the past 16 years ago, it has become a living, breathing biosphere encompassing members from almost 5 continents facilitating the spirit of giving and spreading the richness of the Indian culture. I am proud to volunteer as a Telugu teacher in California since 2007. My day job is in the field of education where I am blessed to work with students in elementary, middle, and high school from diverse cultures. This past school year, 2016-2017, is the first year that the California Department of Education (CDE) recognized students with a proficiency in a language other than English with a State Seal of Biliteracy. With the CDE considering adding this seal as one of the College & Career Readiness Indicators, the importance of learning a language other than English cannot be over-emphasized. SiliconAndhra's Manabadi program fills the void with not only teaching the language but enriching it at a more granular level with Samskrithosavams (cultural festivals), Natakothsavam (drama festival), Palukubadi (summer spoken language camp), Maatalaata (game show in Telugu), and Balanandam (radio show by kids).
An organization with great vision and much needed for preparing our students for the diverse workplace.

SiliconAndhra has been promoting Telugu literature ,tradition and culture for the kids who born and raised outside of India. So far, it has taught Telugu language to more than 27000 kids in the last 10 years.

Kuchipudi is a centuries old art form of India and SIlicon Andhra has organized 5 International conventions by breaking its own Guinness record every time. This has created livelihood for so many Dance Gurus, costume designers,Makeup artists. With this inspiration, SiliconAndhra is working towards transforming Kuchipudi village where centuries old art form was born into a heritage village. In last 24 months, SiliconAndhra laid cement roads, LED lamps, ISL(Individual Septic Latrines) for each house in that village. SiliconAndhra is currently taken up a Mega Project of building an hospital called ' Sanjivini" in Kuchipudi village with an investment of $5 million dollars. Once this charity hopsital is completed, it's going to serve the healthcare needs for about 150 villages. I have been playing an active role in this organization for more than 10 years and am very fortunate and blessed that I got an opportunity to serve humankind by volunteering for this organization.

My family's association with Silicon Andhra dates back to 2002. My sincere thanks to one of our relatives who forced us to attend the flagship annual event that was happening at that time.
I should say our horizons broadened & in no time we had become part of this Extended family, Silicon Andhra.

Silicon Andhra to me is a synonym for spreading Telugu language, culture & tradition, even to the most unreachable. It has always amazed me to think of how this organization expanded by leaps & bounds in a matter of few years. I salute all the leaders & the volunteers (the supportive pillars of this organization) for their immense passion, total dedication & tireless efforts perpetually focused towards bringing nothing but success to the organization. There are umpteen number of projects taken up by Silicon Andhra. To name a few Manabadi, Annamacharya Jayanthi Utsavam, Jayaho Kuchupudi, Sanjivani, SAMPADA & many more projects that spread not only Telugu literature & culture but also the Indian Music & Dance to the nooks & corners of the world.

Me & my family are so proud & privileged to be part of this phenomenal organization Silicon Andhra. Wishing Silicon Andhra many more feathers in its cap for the upcoming years to continue to preserve & perpetuate the Indian arts & culture.

An organization with a clear objective serving the Telugu region is perfectly SILICON ANDHRA

Imagine thousands of kids studying their mother tongue,Telugu, thousands of miles away from their native place and completing a complete course/certificate designed by a university. Not just that but many other "Give back" to the society purely through volunteers and parents who are whole heartedly dedicated to a greater cause...it is Silicon Andhra. Kudos to every single person who has been making this possible and wish and prey that it continues to flourish in the times to come!

Silicon Andhra is doing a great service to Telugu Language and Culture and Tradition.
Its main aim to preserve the culture and pass it on to future generations for the families living in foreign countries.
They are also running a telugu school called "Manabadi" in which they teach, learn and speak telugu language for children.
They also conduct cultural programs on Telugu culture, Kuchipudi dance and music and thier events were recorded in Guiness Book.
I have been associated with this program from past couple of years and they are very organized, professional.

I have been with the organization from 2005. Silicon Andhra is the best way of passing our culture to the next generation even though we live far away from our mother land. Manabadi is the initiative started in 2007 to teach our mother tongue "Telugu" with around 100 kids. Now, students are spread across the globe to learn the language. I had the pleasure of teaching in Manabadi for 4 years. I also have the pleasure of volunteering in multiple other initiatives like "Annamayya Jayanthi Utsavam", "Kuchipudi convention", "University of SiliconAndhra" etc. Silicon Andhra adopted Kuchipudi village in Andhra Pradesh and working towards building a multi specialty hospital which serves 50 villages around Kuchipudi. I am very proud to be part of Silicon Andhra.

Excellent in service ...organised in protecting culture superb in promoting mother tongue...over all dedication to service and humanity

SiliconAndhra provides a great platform for bringing Telugu Culture to NRI's by focusing on Language, Dance, Art and Music. Being a volunteer with ManaBadi, I had an opportunity to meet and interact with highly passionate people who have been dedicatedly working since years. All their hardwork shall help taking forward this legacy to future generations. Me and my family are proud to be associated with this organization.

Hi Everyone,
My birth place is Kuchipudi and I am 42 years of age right now. There are many politicians or great people from my village and none of them have taken any initiatives to develop my village or close to it. In case anyone plan any activity that is just for their personal benefit.
But Silicon Andhra adopted my village couple of years back and the way developments happening is a wonder. There are many developments happening like roads, bus stand, swatch Bharath (cleaning process), lakes protection etc. and many more.
Not only just benefit of Kuchipudi Silicon Andhra though broadly for the benefit of closest 10 Mandal (approx. 5 lack) people benefit with the support of AP government acquired a land to start constructing Sanjeevani Hospital is a biggest great initiative. I heard that not only Indian/ Indian origin doctors there many foreign doctors coming forward for doing voluntary service for the hospital need. This is really amazing.
Apart from International development Silicon Andhra helping Indian families residing abroad for their Kids to be close our regional language and culture. Manabadi is one of such initiatives and I proudly say my family is Manabadi family because me and my wife doing voluntary teacher service as well as my both kids going to Manabadi learning my native language as well as my culture (embedded in the course of it). Kids/ Parents may feel what the benefit of learning other than just knowing is. One of the great achievements by Silicon Andhra is to bringing school accredited score for kids by learning language at Manabadi. When kids join college in US, accredited scores play a vital role. That way not only encouraging kids towards learning their own mother tongue in directly helping them to get admission in college.
Silicon Andhra also planned big support of Indian culture development in music and dance. That great initiative program named as SAMPADA (Silicon Andhra Music, Performing Arts & Dance Academy) which is dual benefit program for teachers as well as Kids. Teachers who set up on their own can associate with Silicon Andhra for theirs to get proper academic recognition (University Credits).
I feel proud to be associated with such a great nonprofit organization Silicon Andhra.

It gives me great pleasure to talk about SiliconAndhra and its accomplishments. Me and my family were very fortunate to have been introduced to SiliconAndhra 14 years ago by a dear family friend. My journey with SilicoAndhra as a volunteer, artist, event organizer, fund-raiser and evangelist has been one of the most satisfying rides of my life.

True to its mission, SiliconAndhra's ever-passionate leadership team and volunteer force has made significant contributions to Telugu Arts, Literature, Culture and Tradition. SilionAndhra originated in Silcon Valley, California and joins the list of many other successful start-ups sharing the philosophy of
"Start Local....Go Global" !

SiliconAndhra's initiatives like Kuchipudi Sammelanam, Annamacharya Sankeerthanothsavam, ManaBadi, Jayaho Kuchipudi, Sanjivani, etc. are making a significant positive impact on communities local and global in areas of Arts, Literature, Culture and Tradition.

I wish SiliconAndhra the best of the best successful years and decades ahead....!

I have been with the organization from the day of its in inception. Organization is very sincere and true to its values. The focus is on creating a platform to empower the current generation with the values , tradition and culture. A huge effort is put together by small teams to make sure the next generation will carry on the traditions and culture from our ancestors. It is not easy to take on this task since the activities taken on are based on values and not for sake of popularity . The organization is making sure the values from ages back become the main stream of the youth today which is commendable. The strive to provide a platform without loosing the values required for youth today in achieving their goals is to be admired and applauded.

This organization has grown leaps and bounds since it has started 15+years ago. The work that this organization does for telugu language, arts, culture and heritage is beyond words. The effort these people make to imbibe the cultural roots in the children born and brought up in foreign countries is commendable.

They started off with cultural events showing the greatness of telugu culture and heritage, then they started a telugu school, then national and international Kuchipudi conventions, national and international vaggeyakara conventions and now they started the first university in foriegn soil to teach Indian art forms.

This is an amazing growth and I'm proud of them. Keep up the good work.

Truly blessed to be part of this world-class organization that actually operates like a global family (Vasudhaika Kutumbam). I have been involved since inception as a life member, volunteer, artist, contributor, organizer, donor and evangelist and enjoy every single moment of my interaction with the organization and the leadership team. Silicon Andhra is dedicated to the promotion and perpetuation of Indian arts, culture and languages.

Starting with highly creative events bringing out the best of Indian art forms and culture, the organization has recently launched 'University of Silicon Andhra' to teach Indian art forms to students around the world. It is the first accredited university outside India that is focusing on Indian arts, which makes Silicon Andhra very unique and visionary, that is keeping the next 100-200 years and future generations in perspective.

The team's sincerity, discipline, professionalism, leadership, passion, creativity and vision make it greatest among the greatest non-profits in the world. The organization's initiatives like ManaBadi (School to teach Telugu Language), SAMPADA (Certification for Indian art forms from US Dept of Education), Special Fonts, Jayaho Kuchipudi (Transforming an entire village through education, hygiene, healthcare and infrastructure projects), Sanjivani (Hospital to serve the most needy) are just a few examples of the organization's vision and flawless execution. The lasting impact and value being created by Silicon Andhra will live in the hearts and minds of millions of people for many decades to come.

Silicon Andhra is a non-profit organization that promotes traditional, cultural and literary values and aspects of the Telugu diaspora - the Telugu-speaking Andhra people are spread all across the world. By some estimates, the language is spoken or understood by almost 120 million people in the world.
Ever since its inception over 14 years ago, Silicon Andhra has undertaken a zealous mission to preserve, propagate and enrich the rich cultural heritage of Telugu people. Some of their most significant and high-impact endeavors are: promoting the native Kuchipudi Dance art form into Andhra Pradesh so much so, it has today been ingrained into the public psyche; ditto, about a fifteenth century music composer Annamacharya - Silicon Andhra's efforts in etching the saint-composer's copious contributions in public memory are laudable; their school (Mana Badi , or Our School) started by Silicon Andhra has now grown into a Global phenomenon, spreading into 38 countries and 5500 students, imparting a very structured, sequential learning regimen to students learning Telugu language and all its nuances. These are, but a few of their many achievements.
I think Silicon Andhra's contributions are far too many to enumerate, their impact far too great to quantify and their longevity far too important to ignore. Silicon Andhra, as an organization and a traditional familial group of volunteers with imbibed core values has already stood the test of time and will definitely deliver on its many 'unreal' and 'improbable' promises for years to come.

SiliconAndhra is a non-profit organization to promote Telugu culture and language. This is the only cultural organization which has thousands of volunteers around the globe working towards the same cause. Manabadi which means "our school" is one of SiliconAndhra's initiative to Telugu language is the most successful program. It is great pleasure to be part of this organization.

SiliconAndhra is a global organization, which has thousands of volunteers working hard to preserve the Telugu culture, art forms and language. Some of the great achievements SiliconAndhra are Guinness records set for kuchipudi dance and Annamacharya lyrics, conducting Telugu language classes every week all over the globe and adopting a poor village to transform into a smart village.

Above all, every event you attend feels like a family event. Great job SiliconAndhra. Hoping to see many more great initiatives from SiliconAndhra.

Silicon Andhra always strives to sustain and propagate cultural values and traditions. This plays a very important role in helping kids of our generation understand their roots and carry them forward. As a volunteer I have always seen Silicon Andhra treat all its members and volunteers as family and always strive to grow exponentially and make a difference in the society.

One of the most dedicated non profits focused on not diluting their goals and values. Making unbelievable strides, being globally recognized and having exponential growth. Outdoing themselves with any tasks they take and setting them miles apart from the norms of a cultural org.

Siliconandhra is a great organization because it is bringing world community together for one great cause " Passing the culture and language to the next generation kids".

Silicon Andhra is an organization that strives to preserve and promote Telugu Language and Telugu Art forms. It is one Organization that really focuses on good values being passed on to our younger generations. Silicon Andhra is one of the very few organizations that I know that leads the younger generation by example by always keeping to its promises.

SiliconAndhra is an organization that strives to preserve and perpetuate telugu culture by passing on the values to our youth who are the torch bearers for the future generation. Every event or initiative that they engage not only nurtures talent but also teaches great values of life.

Great Job SIliconAndhra and proud to be a part of it.

This Origanisation has recently adopted the Kuchipudi village where this art form is born, and doing a phenomenal job in transforming the village totally. This can't be achieved by just one person but with support of great team and supportors. But this can't either be done by just team and supporters if there is no good leader. We have seen a great leader who can stake his time and life for the cause. hat's off to Silicon Andhra for great work !!
