STATEM ENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

According to Section 2 of the Andhra Pradesh Official

Language Act, 1966, (Act No.9 of 1966) enforced wilh
effect from the 26th January, 1967, Telugu shall be the
Oficial L,anguage of the State of Andhra Pradesh. Under
section 7, the State Government may from time to time
direct the usc of Telugu or any other language or languages,
in addition to the Telugu language in the interest of persons
speaking such languages, in such areas and for such official
purposes ofthe Stateand for such period as may be specified.
In order fo adopt a liberal approach in respect of Urdu
speaking minority, the Government have declared Urdu as
the second Official Language in eight districts viz.,
Hydetabad, Kurnool, Cuddapah, Nizamabad, Ananthapur,
Rangareddy, Medak and Guntur where the population of
Urdu speaking people is more than 10% of the total
population as per 1981 census under article 345 .of the
Constitution of India by suitably amending the said Act.

According to G.O.Ms.No. 3 7 1 , G . A . (O.L.1.)

Department, dated 28-6- 1988, Urdu Language may be used
for various purposes mentioned therein. In order to provide
more facilities to the Urdu speaking population, it has been
proposed to extend the faciIity to use urdu for OffTciaI
purposes in five more districtsviz., Chittoor, Mahabubnagar,
Adilabad, Warangal and Nellore Districts jn the State.

To achieve the above objective it has been decided to

amend section 2 of !he Andhra Pradesh Oficial Language
Act, 1966 suitably.
This Bill seeks to give effect to the abwe decision.
