This recognition stands as a tribute not only to his literary brilliance but also to his lifelong dedication to education, values, and human transformation.
Born in the humble village of Chityal in Telangana and shaped by the challenges of poverty, loss, and social adversity, Dr. Rao’s life is a compelling testament to how perseverance, purpose, and inner strength can illuminate even the most difficult paths. His memoir captures more than events—it captures the evolution of character, conviction, and compassion.
Through this nomination, the TRI Literary Awards honors a life that has touched thousands of young minds, inspired generations of educators, and enriched the literary and academic landscape.
About the Book: RESILIENCE – A Teacher’s Journey
Resilience is not just an autobiography—it is a powerful narrative of transformation that spans over six decades of personal evolution and public service. Dr. Rao masterfully recounts his journey from a simple rural childhood to becoming a celebrated teacher, education coordinator, reformer, writer, and mentor.
Shaped by the silent sacrifices of his mother, the deep love of a departed soulmate, and the unwavering guidance of great teachers, his life story mirrors the very essence of resilience. Each chapter reflects a turning point: overcoming personal hardships, embracing the path of service, empowering rural communities, and transforming education through Saraswati Vidya Peetham (Vidya Bharathi).
The memoir beautifully weaves emotional sincerity with educational insight, offering readers a rare blend of simplicity, depth, and timeless wisdom.
