K T Rama Rao, Minister, IT, Industries, MA & UD, Telangana, launched the first AIF (American India Foundation) India Chapter in Hyderabad, along with philanthropists, patrons, and industry leaders gathered, to make greater headway in the state, positively impacting those on the margins.
The Hyderabad Chapter is a voluntary body comprised of prominent and respected individuals with proven leadership abilities in business and philanthropy who come together to represent AIF and assist in the development of strong and sustainable partnerships in the state.
AIF has been working across 10 districts in Telangana for several years under its flagship education and livelihood programs, reaching out to low-income and vulnerable communities, with the continuous support and encouragement of the government, corporates, and civil society organisations.
By bringing in deeper engagements and large-scale projects, the Chapter will leverage AIF’s solutions to social inequity and poverty and galvanize the state’s outreach and impact.
Congratulating AIF and the cohort on this philanthropic congregation, K T Rama Rao, Minister, Information Technology, Industries & Commerce, Municipal Administration & Urban Development, Telangana said, “American India Foundation is building a lasting bridge between the United States and India through high-impact interventions in education, livelihoods, public health, and leadership development, with a particular emphasis on empowering girls and women to achieve gender equity. It’s a matter of great satisfaction that AIF has decided to set up its first Chapter in Hyderabad. The Government of Telangana will be glad to partner with AIF.”
