Former Vice President of India, M Venkaiah Naidu, attended the launch of his Telugu biography, ‘Venkayya Nayakudu’, authored by senior Telugu journalist Sri Maa Sharma, in Vijayawada on Sunday.
Speaking at the event, Sharma stated that the book aims to inspire younger generations by portraying Venkaiah Naidu’s journey from modest beginnings to becoming Vice President of India.
“The very purpose of writing this book is to let the youngsters know about a great leader who steered the nation for years together. His life started from scratch, and he reached the top; he reached the position of Vice President of India. It is not an ordinary subject. It is an inspiration for the youth, rural people, and all generations together,” Sharma said.
He added that Venkaiah Naidu’s life provides numerous lessons for society. “We can learn so many things from the life of Venkaiah Naidu,” he remarked.
Venkaiah Naidu was born on July 1, 1949, in Chavatapalem, a remote village in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. His parents, Late Rangaiah Naidu and Ramanamma, were agriculturists, according to the party’s official website.
After graduating from VR College, Nellore, he earned a law degree from Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. Naidu married Usha on April 14, 1970, and has a daughter and a son.
As both a student leader and a political figure, Venkaiah Naidu gained recognition as a skilled orator who actively advocated for farmers, rural communities, and the development of underdeveloped areas.
From his college days, he showed a deep interest in supporting the common man, especially farmers and disadvantaged groups, which led to his involvement in political and social activities at a young age, according to the website.
He was motivated by the selfless sacrifice and principled politics of leaders who participated in the freedom struggle and those who opposed the emergency.
