[8][9][10][11] Tekur Subrahmanyam was born on 9 August 1900 at Uravakona in Ananthapur District of then Madras Presidency (now in Andhra Pradesh).

When the country attained independence on 15 August 1947 the then Madras Government authorized Tekur to hoist National flag at Sambamoorhy maidan in Ballari at the stroke of midnight amidst intense jubilation.

Tekur brought Urn containing ashes of Gandhiji after his assassination in 1948 for immersion at Hampi in sacred Tunga Bhadra River.

He also endorsed Tekur’ views he wrote "I entirely agree with you that frequent attempts to upset the Congress ministries are not desirable unless some basic principles are involved."

When his close friend Lal Bahadur Sastri became PM in 1965 Tekur was invited to join Union Cabinet as Minister.

He strongly pleaded for establishing a steel plant in public sector in Ballari-Hospet region.

When his term as MP came to an end in 1967 he received a personal letter from then PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi- "We shall  miss you in the new Lok Sabha but I sincerely hope your advice and guidance  will continue to  be available to me".

Former President Venkataraman in a message said "Quiet and unostentatious  by disposition, Tekur was a model legislator, he spoke briefly and effectively.

Tekur ‘s life serves as a role model for succeeding generations of public and political workers".

Mr.C.Subrmaniam  another close associate of Tekur –former Union Agriculture Minister and former Governor of Maharastra  says "I had the pleasure of knowing him when I was in Madras and later in Lok Sabha between 1962–1967 as MP.
