Narasimha Rao for his contributions to the country.
Mahesh Bigala said that the centenary is celebrated in 50 different countries according to the instructions of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and PVNR Committee. We have decided to install statues of Narasimha Rao in the USA, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Mauritius.

All programmes were participated by PV family members.
