pinnacle of his career as its Chief of Bureau and Deputy Editor. In his half century long career, he wrote and reported on a vast variety of public issues: politics,administration, economy, science and technology, wildlife, tourism etc. He was a ringside witness to major political and social convulsions and Nature’s fury.

The same qualities won him the helm of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Press Gallery Committee for ten years and a place on the A.P. Government Press Accreditation Committee.
Kesava Rao is now a freelancer who has authored or edited two biographies, a
coffee table book and an appraisal of forestry programmes in Andhra Pradesh
