Financial assistance to the artists' welfare trust established by Susheela. Hyderabad, Chikkadpally, Trinet News, October 6: Former Chairman of Police Housing Corporation Koleti Damodar stated that the Telangana Government is sanctioning a cash amount of fifty lakh rupees to the trust established by legendary singer P. Susheela for the welfare of artists.
A felicitation event for Padma Vibhushan awardee Dr. P. Susheela was held amidst the joy and enthusiasm of singers at the main stage of Sri Thyagaraja Ganasabha, organized by Aadarsh Foundation and RR Foundation with the patronage of the Department of Language and Culture. Participating as the chief guest, Koleti Damodar spoke and said that Susheela is the wealth of the Telugu race, and requested that both Telugu state governments preserve her songs so they can be passed on to future generations.
Presiding over the event, former Chief Commissioner of the Right to Information Act P. Vijaya Babu said that the seven musical notes resonate in Susheela's singing. He noted that it was special for singer Aamani to attend her programs sixteen times out of sheer admiration.
Speaking on the occasion, Susheela stated that aged music artists have no other livelihood, which is why she started the trust for them. However, since the trust was on the verge of closure due to lack of financial resources, she thanked the government for providing financial assistance through Aamani's efforts to reopen it.
Kusuma Bhogaraju, B.S.V.V.S. Murthy, Venkatesh Gupta and others participated on the stage. Aamani, Chandra Teja Mallela, Vasundhara, Manasa, Hanumantha Rao and others sang Susheela's popular songs, and Susheela shared her views and congratulated them.
