Nandamuri Balakrishna greeted all and acknowledged the achievements of the NRIs who came to US, worked hard and reached greater heights in a foreign nation. He appreciated the generous support by Dallas Telugu NRIs. He talked about his mother Smt. Basvatharakam's struggle with cancer, lack of proper treatments and her demise. Balayya explained how Sri. Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao took help from various doctors and sponsors to start the Basvatharakam Cancer Institute.
