D.A. needed for State employees

The Central Government has announced a four per cent dearness allowance (D.A.) and dearness relief (D.R.) to its employees and pensioners respectively. Despite several requests, there is no such announcement from the State Government so far. In view of spiralling prices of essential commodities, the employees and pensioners have been facing much hardship.

Fieldwork for languages

Two Universities in the State - Andhra University and Acharya Nagarjuna University - have done a good experiment by introducing fieldwork in English for students at graduation level.

I suggest that the academies of languages like Telugu and Urdu can also introduce similar methods for the benefit of students, as language is the medium to exchange ideas.

Do not forget Telugu

It is sad to note that many Telugu people cannot speak one single complete sentence without using an English word. It seems that nowadays people have ignored the core value of their mother tongue.No doubt, English is an international language and one should study it and lay a foundation for their career. But, they should not forget Telugu.
