About This Cause
Telugu Association of the Jacksonville Area (TAJA) is a registered non profit organization formed in 2002 in Jacksonville, FL to promote cultural, literary, humanitarian activities, and enhance intercultural understanding between the Telugu and other local communities. In January 2002, several Telugu people met to celebrate Sankranti Festival; during that time the idea of starting a local Telugu Association was proposed. Interested people forward their opinions via email, encouraged and communicated actively. After 3 or 4 public meetings, it was established that there is a need for an association that can serve the Telugu community and subscribes to democratic principles. During Ugadi 2002 celebrations the idea was proposed to attended public with a detailed presentation. It was accepted by the public and an association was immediately formed and members for the executive committee were elected according to the proposed presentation. Executive members initiated and formed a committee to draft the by-laws and constitution which were reviewed among the committee, also extended executive committee and requested the members to join in the review.
