The book launch of "Aalokanam," written by Dr. Kalluru Ananda Rao, a beloved figure of Kurnool Peetham and Tadipatri Vicharana, took place on 02.07.2025 at the Thyagaraya Gana Sabha in Chikkadpally, Hyderabad. I also attended the book launch of Dr. Ananda Rao's work, Aalokanam. He seemed like an idealist to me. Born into an ordinary Dalit poor family, he worked hard to change his destiny. He is a great man who molded himself into a Telugu scholar.

Acharya Kolakaluri Enock and other dignitaries explained Dr. Kalluru Ananda Rao's life history and his great works for Telugu literature. Our Catholic Telugu son has written many essays about Telugu literature and received praise from prominent figures.
