Birth


Rao was born in Mukkamala, East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh on 7 July 1900[2] to Kala Lakshminarayana and Kala Lakshmi Somidevi.



Education


Rao had his primary education at his native place Mukkamala and secondary education at Middle School, Pulletikurru and Board High School, Amalapuram. He joined intermediate class in Maharajah's College, Vizianagaram. He passed Intermediate and joined B.A. in the same college during the academic year 1919–20. But he was sent out of college as he happened to be ring-leader of anti-British feelings in the college. Thereupon he joined senior B.A. class at Noble College, Machilipatnam. Those were the days of non-cooperation movement. When Mahatma Gandhi gave a call for boycott of the law courts, educational institutions and legislative bodies, Kala Venkata Rao who was bubbling with patriotic enthusiasm responded to this call; gave up his studies and jumped into the fray.



Marriage


Rao married Rajeswaramma, the daughter of Duvvuri Venkateswarulu, then the village munsiff of Mukkamala, on 20 April 1914. His father-in-law was a great patriot, philanthropist and gentleman.



Politics


Rao was a freedom fighter and joined the Indian National Congress. He held cabinet ministries during tenures of Omandur Ramaswamy Reddiar and Kumaraswamy Raja. He was also a member of Indian Constituent Assembly elected from Madras Presidency. He was member of 7-member Partition Committee which was set up on 7 December 1949 by then Madras Government for the formation of Andhra State out of Madras State. The committee was set up under the Chairmanship of Kumaraswamy Raja, the then Chief Minister of Madras Presidency, wherein Andhra was represented by other members along with him such as Tanguturi Prakasam, Bezawada Gopala Reddy and Neelam Sanjiva Reddy.


Rao died on 28 March 1959 in Hyderabad from cardiac arrest while he was recovering from influenza. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha, M. A. Ayyangar, while paying homage to Rao called him "one of the stalwart statesmen of Andhra Pradesh".[1]
