ANDHRA CULTURAL ASSOCIATION, KOCHI

Andhra Cultural Association, Kochi

The Association is the oldest of its kind in Kerala, with other two at Trivandrum and Calicut.
The Association had its humble beginnings in 1958 with a band of six people meeting in festive occasions at one of their residences by rotation.
The Association was registered on Telugu New Year day, the 4 April 1973 under Trivancore-Cochin Literary Cultural Scientific Literary & Charitable Societies Act 1955.
The constitution was amended in 1983, which facilitated any Indian Citizen to join the Association, with its clear objectives of fostering the Andhra Culture. 
The Association has celebrated its Silver Jubilee in Jun 1983 by organizing three days cultural Programs. 
It has organized many dance dramas and presented the cultural elite of the Andhra Pradesh to the public of Cochin on multiple occasions over the last five decades.
The Association has worked in harmony with other cultural Organizations such as Kerala Fine Arts Society, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, and Chavara Cultural Center in the Cochin City over these five decades. This has facilitated the Organization to grow with its cultural activities in the absence of its own building till 1994.
