  Pingali Venkayya (August 2, 1878 - July 4, 1963), freedom fighter and designer of the Indian National Flag 


 Pingali Venkayya was born to Hanumantraayudu and Venkataratnamma in the village of Bhatlapenumarru in the present Mova Zone near Machilipatnam in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh.  Venkaiah has been a very active student since childhood.  He received his primary education at Challapalli and at the Hindu High School in Machilipatnam.  After completing his high school education he went to Colombo to do senior Cambridge


National flag bearer Pingali Venkaiah trained in Bombay and went to Africa.  Palgo returned from the Boer War and toured Arabia and Afghanistan.  From 1911-44 he worked as a lecturer at Port National College.  He did his geophysical research and obtained a diploma from the Presidency College, Madras.  He lived in Nellore from 1924 to 1944 and did research on mica.  He wrote a book on the process of turning coal into diamonds called ‘Motherstone’.  In 1916 he authored a book, A National Flag for India.  About 30 types of flags are displayed in this book.  The tricolor flag was designed by Gandhiji at the Bejwada All India Congress Mahasabha in 1921.  According to Gandhi's reference, a spinning wheel was added to it.  After independence, Ashoka Chakra was added in place of the carousel at the suggestion of Nehru.  Gandhiji pays special tribute to Pingali Venkayyagari in Young India, April 13, 1936 


Financial hardships in old age surround him.  He had to live a life of poverty by building a hut on land given by the government in Vijayawada Chittinagar for serving in the military.  He never expected any position.  But it is unfortunate that the government does not recognize his selfless service.  They have built a nation of our own.  Those governments respect national flag makers in other countries.  Governments provide the facilities they need for free.  It is unfortunate that our government does not recognize Venkaiah.

 Telugus have never taken the lead in honoring themselves

  Revealing his last wish before he passed away {Comment "My final stage is approaching. Cover the tricolor flag on my physical body after I die. After reaching the cemetery take that flag and tie it to the birch tree there. This is my final wish" 


 Dhanyajeevi Pingali Venkayya is memorable till the national flag flies.  His Excellency Pingali Venkayya lived a modest, selfless life.  At a time when people were forgetting him, the Andhra Pradesh government erected a bronze statue of him on the Tank Bund in Hyderabad and made his visit public
