A clear plan built on four commitments — culture, youth, community partnership, and a modern, transparent organization — carried into the presidency in 2027 and the decade beyond.
Protect and expand the festivals that define us — Bathukamma, Bonalu, Telangana Mela, and sacred events like Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Kalyanam — so our traditions stay vibrant for every generation.
Grow the Youth Council, mentorship, and the PVSA volunteer pathway — and add scholarships — so young members see DTC as theirs, not their parents'.
Build active relationships with temples, civic bodies, corporate sponsors, and sister associations — giving our community a stronger, more unified voice in Michigan.
Run DTC with the transparency and efficiency of a well-led organization — clear finances, easy membership, and communication that reaches every family.
A phased plan — because lasting change is built step by step, not promised all at once.
Listen, stabilize, and modernize the basics.
Build the programs the community has asked for.
Extend DTC's voice across the region and back home.
Leave DTC stronger than we found it.
No president succeeds alone. Shashi's approach is built on partnership — with the DTC board and executive team, with local temples and priests, with corporate sponsors and civic bodies, and above all with the members themselves.
He commits to open meetings, honest reporting, and a leadership style where every member feels heard and every volunteer feels valued. The goal is not a bigger role for the president — it is a bigger, stronger, more united community.
This vision belongs to the whole community. Share your ideas, volunteer your time, or simply reach out.
