In a significant step to honour the legacy of revolutionary balladeer Gaddar, the Telangana government has sanctioned ₹3 crore to the Gaddar Foundation to carry forward the ideas and aspirations of the late balladeer, who played a pivotal role in the Telangana movement and cultural renaissance.
The decision follows an assurance given by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy during last year's Gaddar Jayanti celebrations. The Chief Minister ensured the release of funds through the Department of Language and Culture, which issued the formal orders sanctioning the amount.
Gaddar Foundation will be recognised as an official partner in organising the Gaddar Jayanti celebrations every year on January 31. It will be a partner in planning and executing various programmes in memory of Gaddar on that day. This move is seen as a tribute to Gaddar's unwavering commitment to people's rights and his influence on people through his fiery songs and activism.
