Dear IAGB Members, Friends, and Well-Wishers,
As we welcome 2026, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyful, healthy, and prosperous New Year to you and your families. May this year bring renewed hope, meaningful connections, and continued pride in our shared heritage.
The past year has been filled with memorable moments for our community, including celebrations, collaborations, and collective achievements that reflect the strength and unity of the Greater Boston Indian-American community. I am deeply grateful for your continued support, participation, and trust in IAGB’s mission.
As we step into the new year, I am excited to invite you to one of our most cherished annual traditions, IAGB’s Republic Day Celebration on January 24th at Burlington High School. This flagship event brings together cultural performances, community engagement, and a shared sense of national pride. I encourage you to join us as we honor India’s democratic spirit and celebrate our vibrant community.

Description, History, and Mission: Incorporated in 1984, TAGB is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to uniting and serving the Telugu-speaking community across New England—covering Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut. Our core mission is to preserve and celebrate Telugu language and culture, strengthen community connections, and promote intercultural understanding through cultural, educational, and humanitarian initiatives. - Organization Summary: For over four decades, TAGB has served as a cultural anchor for the Telugu diaspora in New England, fostering a sense of home and heritage. We take immense pride in our flagship celebrations, including our grand Ugadi festival in April and our vibrant Dasara/Diwali events. Central to our mission is “Telugu Vakili,” an initiative that integrates various Telugu teaching organizations into our events to ensure the language thrives in the next generation. Beyond performances, we enrich our community through traditional poem and mono-action competitions, while providing a platform for our youth to host events in their native language. Through collaboration with local U.S. communities and fellow Indian organizations, TAGB continues to build lasting cultural and social bridges between India and the United States.
