It was the time a good number of people of Khajipalem and of surrounding villages were moved with great patriotic fervour and they tried to break the shackles of slavery of Mother India. Sri Manthena Venkata Raju was prominent among those great men. He served the mother land not only as freedom fighter but also an MLA for two terms. In honour of his inspiring personality, “Manthena Venkata Raju Seva Samithi” was established with an ideal view of starting an educational institution to provide quality education to the students of this rural area.

A College was thus established under the auspices of “Manthena Venkata Raju Seva Samithi” with large donations was given by the three greatmen of charity Sri Kusampudi Vishnu Vardhana Raju, Sri Kanumuri Venkata Raju and Sri Manthena Krishnam Raju. Therefore the college was named after them as KVR, KVR & MKR College.
