We have been writing letters in vain,” Chairperson of the Andhra Pradesh Telugu Academy N. Lakshmi Parvathi said. “Andhra Pradesh has not inherited much in terms of immovable properties, but we have nearly ₹300 crore funds. Though the petitioners are working in the regional centres of the Academy in the residual Andhra Pradesh, their salaries are paid by the Telangana government. The Andhra Pradesh Telugu Academy currently has about 60 staff members. There’s a lot to be done, but for all that, we need adequate staff and funds,” said Ms. Parvathi.
