Silicon Andhra over the years has developed many initiatives. Silicon Andhra, born on Aug 4, 2001, has been spreading its activities across many states in United States.

But really don't know how to establish that connection in a professional and organized fashion. Many people want to have that cultural and linguistic connection for them as well as their children. Also there were limited opportunities or platforms to celebrate the art forms like classical Kuchipudi dance, folk dances, Annamayya Keertanas, Telugu Dramas etc. But there was no systematic opportunity to learn Telugu in North America. Telugu language is spoken by about 150 million people across the world. Language plays a vital role in giving that cultural identity. Especially they want their children to connect to their family roots. The immigrants from this area would like having connection to their rich cultural and linguistic heritage. There are close 500,000 people settled in USA from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India. United States is a land of opportunity for many immigrants from all over the world.
