The Chief Minister stated that Ramamurthy contributed significantly to human development by increasing literacy through language skills.
Former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu also paid rich tributes to Ramamurthy. He greeted Telugu people all over the world on Telugu Language Day, which marks the birth anniversary of the first Indian linguist and the Telugu luminary, Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy.
“I pay tribute to the memory of Gidugu Ramamurthy, who started a movement to write books in Telugu colloquial language and brought literature closer to the common man. He believed that the language of instruction should be the mother tongue for promoting literacy,” Naidu said.
The TDP president said that inspired by Gidugu Ramamurthy’s ideals, TDP laid the foundation for the promotion and preservation of the Telugu language through various measures ranging from establishment of Telugu University to introduction of Telugu in the administration. He requested all to work together for preservation of the Telugu language. Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan said that it is the responsibility of everyone to protect the Telugu language. He said Gidugu Ramamurthy made Telugu language accessible to all by liberalising the language. He expressed concern over poor patronage to Telugu language in our state.
