About Sri Puvvada Nageshwara Rao
Mamata
Educational Society was established in May 1992 by Sri Puvvada
Nageswara Rao, who is a renowned politician ,a social worker and by
dedication educationist and philanthropist of repute.
Sri
Puvvada Nageswara Rao completed his primary education in the tribal
village of Kunavaram, near Bhadrachalam in Khammam
district, attained his Bachelor's degree from Vijayawada and LL.B.
from Osmania University. He started practicing as an advocate in
Taluk Court at Bhadrachalam to provide justice and legal aid to
the outreach rural and tribal population of the Region.
The
journey started from his village Kunavaram which is
located deep in the tribal area covered in dense
forest of Khammam District reminded him of the un-hygienic
living condition, unpaved roads and lack of basic amenities. But
the unique persona of Sri Puvvada Nageshwara Rao is best illustrated in
his relentless efforts for providing free Medical Services
for the most neglected, unprivileged tribal population of
5,58,958, which is about 13.29% of the total tribal population of the
state, Andhra Pradesh
During
his professional carrier, he came across number of problems faced by
the tribal population in terms of their primary needs such as primary
health, primary education, and drinking water and decided to relinquish
his practice and joined the communist movement.
He
lost his father in his early childhood due to the lack of health care
facilities and he was witness of the suffering of tribal people due to
poor healthcare facilities and their inability to go for urban
centers due to their poor socio-economic background in Khammam
District. Hence, with the help of his likeminded colleagues, Sri
Puvvada Nageshwara Rao decided to establish the Mamata General Hospital
with prime object to provide primary, secondary and tertiary health
care facilities to the poor and outreach people of Khammam and
neighbouring districts at free of cost.
Today
the vision with which he has been the initiation to establish
Mamata General hospital has gone deep into the hearts of all
sections of people not only from khammam district
alone ,but from the neighbouring districts
Nalgonda,Krishna,Warangal and even the neighbouring states which
share the border with Khammam District.
Mamata
General Hospital has established itself as a centre of excellence
providing comprehensive care free of cost to thousands of indigent
patients.
Sri
Puvvada Nageswara Rao has been the Member of Legislative Assembly of
Andhra Pradesh representing khammam from 1989 to 1999 and represented
the Legislative Council from 1981 to 1985 and again from 2006 to 2011.
