About Founder
Late Smt. K.H.S. Jagadamba
Her most enduring and nationally significant contribution, however, lay in her determined efforts to restore due recognition to Sri Pingali Venkaiah Garu, the patriot associated with the evolution of the Indian National Flag. Moved by the conviction that such a towering national figure had not received the place he deserved in public memory, she undertook a sustained mission of research, advocacy, and public education. Through the Trust, she dedicated herself to preserving and promoting his legacy by organising commemorative events, patriotic programmes, essay and quiz competitions, cultural activities, awareness campaigns, and educational initiatives aimed especially at the younger generation. Her work was not merely about honouring the past; it was about nurturing national pride, civic responsibility, and a deeper understanding of India’s heritage. Her persistent efforts played an important role in bringing wider public attention to Sri Pingali Venkaiah Garu’s contribution, including the release of a commemorative postage stamp in 2009 in his honour.
