The impact of the just-concluded 4th World Telugu Conference was such that there were immediate outcomes. Telugu associations in different countries came out with announcements to extend their part of service. The London Telugu Association has pledged to take all the necessary steps to protect the tomb of C. P. Brown, British officer who worked in Andhra and did yeoman service to Telugu language by authoring and publishing the first English-to-Telugu and Telugu-to-English dictionaries. The association’s representatives K. Chandrakanth and K. Mallesh, said they were undertaking various activities for Telugus in the UK.

The Malaysian delegation, on the other hand, announced that it would conduct a meeting of the World Federation of Telugu Associations in their country on April 12 and 13 next. They said their children pursuing education in Telugu were handicapped with lack of trained teachers and non-availability of textbooks.
