I have already introduced you to chittoor NRIs an association formed under the aegis of Telugu Association of North America. We have followed their second anniversary celebrations in USA, Where stalwarts from chittoor were felicitated.
Chittoor NRIs have been doing a commendable service to NRIs from our district. They have been supporting the Women, Children, Employees who were in distress in their needful hour. When Northern Virginia University was busted, the first organisation to come to the rescue of students was Chittoor NRIs. This effort was lauded by parents of other states too, who were really worried till they knew that some one is going to take care.
In order to prevent such untowardly incidents, students from chittoor district can register themselves at www.chittoornris.org and can make sure they are helped when the need arises.
Isn't it heart warming that some one out there are ready to offer help when we are far off from our home town and caring people. Yes, this is the confidence which Chittoor NRIs are striving to create.
Now on occasion of celebrating the 100 years of chittoor district they have been promoting the greatness of district all over the world and are trying to bring out a video journal/documentary on 100 years of chittoor.
Here is the video prepared on 30 years of our history.........
Now i request you all to send your feedback, interesting photos, videos etc etc and trivia from your home towns to chittoornris, so that they can be added to the video planned. Please send your feed back to Mr Sunil @ pantrasunil@gmail.com.

Be it middle class, working class or the Privileged, traditional way of indian family investment always remained gold.
Let it be marriage, birthday or any other function, gold in affordable amounts is stand fast rule in every family. Once the control on gold import was removed in 1990s, the amount of gold purchase per family increased manifold
People use it as an family investment option for generation to come. Believe me, gold has yielded 28-30% value appreciation annually in the past 4 years. Compare it with savings account interest of 3.5% and FD interest 7 to 9%.
Now coming to our Chittoor, we have an advantage of getting gold at chennai prices which is a min 200 Rs less than AP price. Gold buisiness has picked up in chittoor in past 3 years. There are around 70 small and big goldshops in chittoor which do buisiness of 30-40 lakhs on an average day and touch 1 crore during festival and marriage seasons.
A general shift from traditional goldsmiths shops to corporate hallmarked gold showrooms is happening. This started with Chandana ramesh and Joyalukkas. Local showrooms like OVC, are also ramping up to catchup the trend.
As of today Joyalukkas is the largest showroom with widest collection. Lets see what follows
