Music director Mani Sharma will hold a concert at the convention, which ends on July 2. About 50 people from India, particularly from Andhra Pradesh, will participate in the meet. Known officially as the Ninth American Telugu Association (ATA) Conference and Youth Convention, it is the first time such a major gathering is being held in the Los Angeles region. Literary contests, music and dance programmes, seminars on health and family issues and other group discussions of interest to the second-generation Indian-Americans will take place at the convention. "Many of our programmes are geared towards encouraging local American Telugu talent, and are intended to propagate the language and culture among our people here," convention publicity and public relations wing head Krishna Kanth Kotagiri told a news agency in a telephone interview from California. Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi, Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker K R Suresh Reddy and Pradesh Congress Committee President K Keshava Rao will be among the dignitaries attending the convention in which about 5,000 will take part. "About 3,500 have already registered themselves and we do expect about 2,000 more," Mr Kotarigi said, adding 'authentic' Andhra cuisine will be served to the participants.
