President Ram Nath Kovind will attend the World Telugu Conference, a five-day event conducted by the Telangana government to celebrate Telugu language, literature and culture

President Ram Nath Kovind will land in Hyderabad on Tuesday to attend the valedictory session of the World Telugu Conference in the city. The five-day event is being conducted by the Telangana government for the first time since its bifurcation from Andhra Pradesh in 2014 to celebrate Telugu language, literature and culture after it was accorded the classical language status last year.

Kovind will also pay his respects at the statue of Lord Buddha at Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad before returning to Delhi on 20 December. He will, however, return to the city on 24 February to spend four days at the Rashtrapati Nilayam at Bollarum in Secunderabad as part of the President’s customary winter sojourn in the city.
