Narasimha Pays Back The ‘Debt’ To His Motherland

Over 4 decades ago, Kamidi Narasimha Reddy, a native of Dammannapet of Wardhannapet Mandal in the district, left the village in search of a career.

He began his journey as a civil contractor. He founded the KNR Constructions Limited Company and reached new heights. He settled down in the State capital, but his heart always longed for his native village and wanted to contribute his mite for the development of the village.

Recently the government announced the ‘Palle Pragathi’ program for the development of the villages, and CM K Chandrashekar Rao called upon businessmen, contractors, NRIs and other philanthropists to come forward and chip in for the development of their respective villages. Inspired by the program, Narasimha Reddy decided to pay back the ‘debt’ to his motherland.

He won the hearts of the people through several development works, and now he is called ‘Srimanthudu’ of the village. He donated Rs 25 crores and has taken up developmental works such as laying of CC roads, constructed toilets, BT roads, and additional classrooms, digging up of a well for drinking water and the purchase of RO plants for the school.

Meanwhile, Narasimha Reddy, on Monday, met MA&UD Minister Rama Rao at the latter’s residence in Hyderabad along with Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Wardhannapet MLA Aruri Ramesh and donated a cheque worth Rs 1.50 crore for the development of Community Health Centre, Wardhannapet that is located 6 km away from Dammannapet village. Speaking on the occasion, KT Rama Rao appreciated Narasimha Reddy and tweeted, complimenting him after they met.
