Admission Notices

    Kandukuri Veeresalingam was born to Punnamma and Subbarayadu on 16th of April 1848 at Rajahmundry. He lost his father at the age of four. In spite of several hardships and hurdles, Veeresalingam progressed in life showing unmatched courage, hard work and dedication. He married Rajyalakshmi in 1861. He started his career as a headmaster in a school at Korangi near Dowleshwaram. Later he joined the Government College Rajahmundry as a Telugu Pandit. He later joined the Presidency College as the head of the department of Telugu and worked there till 1904.

    He started a magazine entitled “Vivekavardhini” and used it educate people against social evils. Veresalingam was inspired by the founder of “Brahmasamaj” Sri Raja Ram mohan Roy’s philosophy and became his follower. He joined the “Ekeswaradhana” movement and established prayer halls in Rajahmundry, Bangalore and Madras. Pained by the deplorable situation of child widows, Veeresalingam advocated widow remarriage. In spite of facing heavy odds and opposition from various sections of the society, he performed the first widow remarriage on 11th December 1881.

    He started widows home, an orphanage and schools and colleges. He started “Hitakarinisamaj” to take care and administer all these establishments. He influenced the starting of a girls’ high school in 1874 at Dowleshwaram. In 1881 he personally started a girls’ high school in Innispet, Rajahmundry in 1907. It later came to be known as Hitakarini High School. The principal patron and donor for the construction of the school building, the Maharaja of Pithapuram, rechristened it as Veeresalingam Theistic High School.

    Veeresalingam wrote several satires and books that included “The History of poets”, an autobiography, a book on Natural science, a translated drama and many more. Most of them are the first amongst their genre in Telugu. The then government bestowed him with the title “Rao Bahadur”.

    Smt Rajayalakshmi stood by his a devout and dedicated wife in all his endeavors to eliminate social evils. Smt Rajyalakshmi breathed her last on 12th August 1910 and Sri Veeresalingam left for physical body on 27th May 1919. The institutions started by him are still flourishing and growing to this day. Every one of us should strive sincerely to carry forward the principles and philosophy of Sri Veeresalingam.
