On March 8, 2014, the U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad hosted a American Town Hall for U.S. citizens in the area. About 200 people attended the event, which featured presentations by a variety of officials. Speakers included the Consul General of Hyderabad; the Minister Counselor for Consular Affairs in India; the Hyderabad Consular Chief; the American Citizens Services Chief; and the head Security Officer. Topics included voting, taxes, security, emergency preparedness, and the warden system. The U.S.-India Education Fund was on hand to discuss education in the United States. Children who attended participated in quiz games and drew pictures to represent what the U.S. means to them. The event was an enjoyable opportunity for the U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad staff to interact with the U.S. citizen population of the district.
