Dr Ponguru Narayana was born in 1957 at Nellore. His father was Mr. P. Subbaramaiah. It could be said that he is a man with the Midas touch. Though he hails from humble beginnings, there has been no looking back for him and whatever he touched turned gold. He graduated and honored with Gold Medal in Statistics in 1977 and took a postgraduate degree in the same discipline in 1979 from S. V. University, Tirupathi. All through his student life, he had been basking in the sunshine of glory and popularity because of his dynamic leadership qualities, intellectual prowess, sweetness of temper and oratorical talents. He is the founder of the Narayana Educational Institutions. The Educational Institutions administered by him have reputation of securing State top Rankers in Competitive Examinations for Engineering and Medical courses. Under his able guidance the following institutions are approved by the respective statutory authorities and were successfully managed by Narayana Educational Society.
He is a multifaceted personality with the sole aim of providing high-tech health care facilities to the people of Nellore and its environs. It is his endeavor to provide the most modern medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing, yoga & naturopathy education and establish Medical Institutions and teaching hospitals, which will be upgraded to the Deemed University status.
The biography of Dr. P. Narayana will be incomplete without a mention of his charitable disposition and generous attitude. Meritorious and economically backward students in the college and schools are awarded financial support for their study. What makes Dr. P. Narayana unique is, the missionary zeal with which he takes up an enterprise of common cause and remains undeterred against all odds. The greater the odd, the greater is his resolve to surmount them.
