Our Founder

It was the early thirties when the entire nation was amidst a political upheaval when the freedom movement in Andhra found a great champion in Sri Kasinadhuni Nageswara Rao Pantulu - a rare combination of a journalist, nationalist, politician, a staunch supporter of the khaddar movement, and an enthusiastic pioneer in the library movement. His life-long commitment in such diverse fields earned him the honorific prefix “Desoddharaka” (uplifter of masses), conferred on him by the people of Andhra Pradesh as a mark of their appreciation of his services and the social title of Kalaprapurna (Doctor of Literature).


Sri Nageswara Rao’s trust with Ayurveda began in 1885 in Madras (Presently known as Chennai). During his stay here, he studied many books on Ayurveda. Combining his knowledge with the experience he had gained from working in a medical shop in Calcutta, he prepared some medicines for headaches and other pains, and thus the legendary Amrutanjan balm was born. Popularised mainly through songs and poems, Amrutanjan balm became very popular in a short period of time.
