'''Dukkipati Nageswara Rao''' was an [[Indian independence movement]] activist from Krishna District.<ref>{{cite book | title=History Of Freedom Movement In Guntoor District 1921-47 | author=B.

Rao was sent to prison 16 times. He also met [[Mahatma Gandhi]] in his home town Peyyeru about 30 miles from his village Nandamuru during the [[Quit India Movement]] in 1942. The Government of [[Andhra Pradesh]] posthumously tried to give him 10 acres of land and a Tamra Patra (Certificate) which was given in accordance with the struggle that he fought for the freedom against the British. My late Grandmother Savithri refused to accept it and said my grandfather did it for the country and not for any monetary benefit or fiscal gain. Apart from serving in several prisons in Andhra Pradesh he also had the privilege of meeting Late Sarvepalli Radhakrishna during the independence struggle. He was also in many noteworthy prisons like Bellary Jail, Tiruchirapalli Jail, and Vellore prisons during the freedom struggle.
