CHIEF Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu urged the Telugu diaspora to invest in the development of their homeland, emphasizing their responsibility to thrive in their Karmabhumi (land of work) while giving back to their Janmabhumi (birthplace).

On the first day of his five-day visit, Naidu addressed the Telugu diaspora at One World International School after receiving an enthusiastic welcome from attendees hailing from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

The event, which opened with 'Maa Telugu Thalli Ki' (State Anthem), reflected Telugu pride and showcased Andhra Pradesh's global aspirations. Naidu praised the success of Telugus in over 120 countries and cited Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella as an example of their global leadership. He noted that Telugus in some countries have higher per capita incomes than locals.

Urging the estimated 40,000 Telugus in Singapore to support Andhra Pradesh's growth, Naidu reminded them that their achievements were built on the foundation of the State's public education and infrastructure.
