About Vanitha

Vanitha (వనిత) is GMA's dedicated women's forum, led by Krishnasri Gandham and 11 active women leaders. Vanitha provides a platform for Munnurukapu women to connect, support one another, celebrate culture, and lead within the community.

Our Four Values

Honor

Recognizing every woman's contribution to her family and community.

Support

Standing beside each other through life's challenges — across distance.

Relationship

Building lasting bonds across our diaspora — chapter to chapter, family to family.

Integrity

Leading by example in everything we do for the community.

Annual Activities

  • Mother's Day — Celebration and recognition of mothers in the community
  • Women's Day — Panel discussions, achiever recognition, and workshops
  • Bathukamma — The iconic Telangana flower festival, celebrated together
  • Matrimonial Support — Guidance and networking for families seeking alliances
  • Professional Workshops — Career, business, and financial literacy sessions

Women Who Inspire Us

Vanitha draws inspiration from great Telugu women — from historical figures like Rudrama Devi and Atukuri Molla, to contemporary leaders making a difference in politics, medicine, business, and the arts today.
