VELAMA ASSOCIATION

Updated: Velama Association forum is here. Click Go and share your feelings there.



Guys,
As suggested by many of us, A full pledged VELAMA ASSOCIATION GROUP is to be started soon in all places of the world.

Velama Associations that come under these are:
1. Andhra Pradesh VELAMA ASSOCIATION
2. US Velama Association
3. UK Velama Association
4. Chennai Velama Association
5. and subdivisions in various cities, like hyderabad, Vizag, Vijayawada etc.
I want you to come up with ideas that make VELAMA ORGANISATIONS successfull.
These are the suggestions i got earlier through mails.
1. It should be adveertised. so need advertisements all over the newspapers and TVs like TV9.
2. It should make people to find a helping hand. Suppose, you are a student and going to US to do your MS or MBA, You need a helping hand in US to suggest you. so this can be done through a forum.
3. staff List to be prepared for every association with voluntary leaders.
Discussions ahead:
Please tell me who among you can take our association formations. i.e., who among you can take the lead of the associations. please specify ur valuable suggestion and information in details.
Urs,
Ganesh Velama

  10. I have got a doubt about surnames.

    Dharmana is a surname associated with Velamas. But one of my friends who has a reddy at the end of his name has dharmana as his surname. HOw can this be possible?

    One possible explanation could be that the reddys and velamas were one sect before dividing into two.

    Does anyone know the exact history of surname Dharmana?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Probability is dharmana might have originated from dharmanna.most of the sir names origin villages, popular persons of that era.

  23. Dear Suresh,

    you sounded off right that there are educated lot & intellectuals in our community, but the problem is that most of them dont take pride in their caste as they fear of getting labeled as casteists, whereas with other castes its not the case, take for eg. kammas, kapus, etc. etc. event the lowest caste hold pride for what he is, unfortunately, with us its not the case. however, its a great job on your side to organize the meet, hope it paves way for future meets worldwide.

  28. Dear Anonymous, your dream has already come true. The Chief Minister of TN is already a Tamil-speaking Velama(Isai Vellala). Many Ministers in TN (e.g., Ponmudi, Anbarasan, Anbazhagan) belong to the Tamil-speaking Rai(Mudaliar) community.

  29. Hi Guys,
    Gud Job on protecting the tradition here is another addition to that lets protect the sanctity of the forum and also let's be more practical in thinking..Let us provide our support to The OC Association of AP who are fighting for RESERVATIONS to POOR OC's/EBC's(Eg:Brahmin's,Reddy's.Velama's,Kamma's,Vyshya's,Raju's..Etc)...Let's strive to get our share in Education,job's ...being an OC/FC is not a Crime/is not by Choice...so let's fight for the same.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hi Vinay,
    As you have suggested, we need to have active leadership for our community who can meet on regular basis to discuss about the community. The community leader ship should discuss about every current topics and how each and every event impact our community. We cannot be just spectators to what is happening in out state. From my knowledge, those communities who are playing key role in current events are benefitting a lot. They are constantly lobbying for their share in every field i.e. politics, irrigation, education and government contracts. If we need to move forward, we need to do the same in order to get our due share in every possible. I did not see any one getting Rajya Sabha seat from our community for long time. After Sri Beela Suryanarayana term expired as AU Vice-Chancellor, I don’t know if there is any other VC belongs to our community. Not only these positions, our community needs to have access to multi crore governments contracts and loans so that we can see more people from our community as industrialists and business leaders. At present in AP politics, people with money are calling the all the shots and power of money will only increase in our state.
    Not only political power, we need to create better irrigation and educational opportunities to the villages/neighborhoods where our community is concentrated. If we can increase per capita income for our families, it will enable to the families to provide better educational opportunities for their kids.
    We need to develop supporting systems for our community so that if anyone in need for financial help or advice for higher education or job guidanance, the community should come forward to help.
    Thanks
