It was later merged with the Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University in 1985 and renamed as the International Telugu Centre.

The Institute has three departments - the Department of Society and Culture; the Department of Languages, Literature and Translation; and the Department of Publications.

gollark: Then how would they know they're too hot to hold?
gollark: Presumably gloves, but then they'd use them on everything to not get burned.
gollark: If it's too hot to hold, how do dragonkeepers actually pick them up?
gollark: Split up the space to search and have each core do a bit in parallel, I don't see the problem.
