Hyderabad Chapter, a Central Pillar of PRSI

Hyderabad Chapter, formed in 1972-73, is one among the premier chapters founded initially for promotion of public relations as a profession in the country and continued to be one of the most active chapters with several achievements to its credit. This chapter won national Awards on different occasions and many of its Chairmen got not only the awards of “Best Chapter Chairman” conferred by PRSI but also National and International recognition on various fronts.

Apart from hosting Two All India Public Relations Conferences (1988 & 2000), one International Seminar and one southern Regional Conference (2001), Hyderabad Chapter of PRSI has a unique history of organizing State-level conferences called “Andhra Pradesh Public Relations Conferences” – a model worth emulation by other chapters in the country.

This is attributed to the presence of PR Legend, Dr CV Narasimha Reddi, past National President (1985-87) National Council and past Chairman (1979-82 & 1988-89), in Hyderabad. He is the driving force and perennial source of energy for Hyderabad Chapter. With his guidance, N L Narasimha Rao, another name to be reckoned with in Public Relations profession, who held chairman’s post for three terms, this Chapter has initiated and organized the following nine conferences.
