Oklahoma Telugu Association/Sangham (OTA/OTS) is an organization that was formed in 1990 to bring the families and people of Telugu origin living in Oklahoma together. OTA/OTS was formed to serve the various needs of telugu people and provide a platform for their diverse activities such as cultural, educational, literary, social, and charitable events among its members and the local communities.

OTA/OTS until now in 2005, has always been a voluntary organization that was initiated in a humble manner by a small group of families in the Oklahoma City Metro area and has been steadily growing then. With a small current strength, the numbers anticipated to increase rapidly in the coming years. We strive to preserve, maintain, and perpetuate the cultural heritage of the people of Telugu origin in Oklahoma.

To assist and propagate cultural, educational, social, economic, and community affairs of the people of Telugu origin in Oklahoma.

Traditionally, each year OTA/OTS celebrated/conducted a few main selected events only such as Ugadi(Telugu New Year's Day) and Sankranthi, thus even though being a relatively small group, maintained a superior quality throughout.

This has benefited the community in several ways such as enhancing cohesiveness and unity, preserving the cultural heritage, enabling all specially the burgeoning children and youth maintain their Telugu and Indian identity.

The OTA/OTS organization is committed to work hard and united, grow by leaps and bounds, do its very best in serving its goals and set an ideal example for others to follow. The OTA/OTS ninaadam "Samaikhya Telugu Bharatheeya Velugu" speaks for itself.
