Objectives and Mission
Mission
The mission of the All India Devangar (Telugu) Samooga Nala Sangam, Adyar Branch, is to uplift and empower the Telugu-speaking Devangar community through social welfare initiatives, educational support, and cultural preservation. The branch is dedicated to fostering unity and cooperation among community members while improving their social, economic, and educational well-being. It aims to provide resources and opportunities for all members, especially the underprivileged, to thrive in a rapidly changing society.
Vision
The vision of the Adyar Branch is to create a self-sustained, empowered, and culturally enriched Devangar community that is united, resilient, and progressive. The branch aspires to be a leading force in ensuring that the Devangar community not only preserves its rich heritage but also adapts to modern challenges, achieving economic prosperity, educational advancement, and social harmony for all its members.
The primary objective of the Samooga Nala Sangam has always been to safeguard the cultural identity and interests of the Devangar community while promoting social and economic development. Some of the key objectives include:
The organization focuses on improving the standard of living of Devangar families, particularly through welfare schemes for education, healthcare, and employment.
The Sangam has been deeply invested in promoting education among Devangar youth, recognizing that access to education is key to social mobility. Scholarships, mentorship programs, and financial assistance have been critical aspects of this mission.
The Sangam plays an important role in preserving the cultural traditions, festivals, and historical values of the Devangar community. Special efforts are made to pass down the community’s unique customs and language to future generations.
While originally known for their weaving skills, many Devangars have diversified into other trades and professions. The Sangam works to provide networking opportunities, job placements, and entrepreneurial support to community members seeking to establish themselves in various fields.
As a key organization for Telugu-speaking Devangars, the Samooga Nala Sangam strives to promote unity within the community, encouraging collaboration and cohesion among members from different regions.
