The media mogul passed away at Hyderabad’s Star Hospital while receiving medical care. At 3:45 a.m., he passed away. As the head of the Ramoji Group, he was in charge of a wide range of properties, including the world-famous Ramoji Film City, the biggest film production complex in the world. The people of Pedaparupudi, a village in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna District, were saddened by the death of their loved one, Cherukuri Ramoji Rao, a business magnate who founded the Eenadu company, Ramoji Film City, and numerous other companies.
Ramoji Rao: Early Life
Ramoji Rao was born into a modest farming family and raised in a village. Over the course of his 87-year career as an industrialist and social activist, he made numerous contributions to society, the media, culture, agriculture, and many other fields. These qualities allowed him to rise to an accomplished position. His parents are Mr. Venkata Subba Rao and Ms. Venkata Subbamma. He was born on November 16, 1936.
According to Garapati Baburao, a member of the Ramoji Foundation and the previous sarpanch of Pedaparupudi, Mr. Rao adopted their hamlet and spent about ₹20 crore through the Foundation. Additional projects projected to cost ₹20 crore are also being considered for the village’s development and well-being.
Mr. Baburao said, “Ramoji Rao rebuilt the school in which he studied. Apart from the elementary school, his contributions to the village included the construction of MPP School building with digital classroom facilities, a veterinary hospital, an overhead water tank, free water tap connections to more than 700 houses of poor people, a building for a cooperative bank, the beautification of a water pond with fencing, a walking track around the pond and many others.”
Mr. Ramoji Rao’s Contribution To His Village’s Development
The former sarpanch went on to say that Mr. Rao had approved numerous additional projects for the village’s overall development, at an estimated cost of an additional ₹20 crore. He clarified that he had given his approval to a proposal to build an underground drainage system. In addition, Mr. Rao bought 1.5 acres of property on which the villagers had a compound wall built.
Mr. Baburao continued by saying that Mr. Rao had bought the land once more to give it to the locals after selling all of his possessions in the hamlet. He claimed that all of the people had anticipated that the village would grow and prosper quickly following the state-level government shift brought about by these general elections, but they had given up hope following Mr. Rao’s untimely death.
The Hamlet
The hamlet has greatly benefited from Mr. Rao, according to P. Prasad, another member of the Ramoji Foundation, as well as other villagers like Chappidi Kishore.
They claimed that Mr. Rao brought all of the village’s inhabitants to Hyderabad Ramoji Film City before adopting the community, where they spent the whole day talking about the village’s requirements. They added that Mr. Rao even built toilets for the underprivileged and backed the village’s streetlight replacement.
The villagers came together in the village and gave Mr. Rao their condolences in an expression of thanks. They recalled how Mr. Rao, who was born into a typical agricultural family, went on to become a powerful figure in the corporate world and stated that he would always be an inspiration to them.
