Naidu releases biography of late Anumolu Ramakrishna pioneer in innovative systems

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu released a biography of late Anumolu Ramakrishna, a pioneer in the application of innovative systems and construction techniques in the Indian construction sector.

The biography titled 'Building a Legacy' is authored by city-based Chartered Accountant V Pattabhi Ram. Complimenting the biography, Vice President Friday said it was in many ways an acknowledgement and recognition of Ramakrishna's tremendous contribution towards finding the rightful place for the Indian construction industry in the world.

Ramakrishna, former president and Managing Director at Larsen and Toubro, was posthumously awarded Padma Bhushan in 2014.

He was instrumental in constructing several path-breaking buildings including Tirumala queue complex, Hitech city, and Nehru Indoor Stadium, a release said.

Ramakrishna was born in December 1939 and died on August 20, 2013, at Hyderabad.
