===Spiritual Formator===
In 1976,<ref name="Souvenir"/> Krupa Rao became a Spiritual Formator at the [[Protestant]] [[Baptist Theological Seminary]], [[Kakinada]] where aspirants enroll to discern their avocation towards priesthood. Rao, together with his other companions, [[The Reverend|The Rev.]] G. Novahu Raju and [[The Reverend|The Rev.]] C. L. Johnson used to spiritually guide and mentor the aspirants. Later, Rao also led the seminary as Principal<ref name="Kenneth"/> succeeding [[Gordon Dewolfe Barss]]. During Rao's tenure, he also took up the role of a Vocation Promoter guiding youth towards Priesthood enabling them not only to take up propadeutic courses and being their Spiritual Confessor but also enabling the aspirants to turn their ministerial calling into a perpetual profession and continue their spiritual studies at the [[Protestant]] Regional Theologiate in [[Hyderabad]] in which the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] is a participating member.

===Ministerial===
====Andhra Christian Theological College====
Krupa Rao, as a member of the Seminary Council of the [[Baptist Theological Seminary]], [[Kakinada]], represented the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] Society on the Board of Governors of the near-[[ecumenical]] [[Andhra Christian Theological College]], a [[Protestant]] Regional Theologiate situated in [[Secunderabad]] which had a four-member representation on the faculty from the [[CBCNC]] during that period, namely, K. David,<ref>''[[Indian Journal of Theology]]'', Volume 18, 2-3, 1969, p.196.[https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/ijt/18-2-3_191.pdf]</ref> G. Babu Rao,<ref name="Wilson">[[H. S. Wilson]] (Edited), ''The Church on the Move: Essays in honour of [[Victor Premasagar]]'', Christian Literature Society, [[Madras]], 1988, p.vi.

Jeremiah.<ref>[[Roger E. Hedlund]], ''Quest for Identity: India's Churches of Indigenous Origin: the "Little Tradition" in Indian Christianity'', ISPCK/MIIS, New Delhi/Madras, 2000, p.102. [https://books.google.com/books?id=W3sGM-wp1msC&lpg=PA102&ots=SHS2hXNfci&dq=d.j.jeremiah%20andhra%20christian%20theological%20college&pg=PA102#v=onepage&q=d.j.jeremiah%20andhra%20christian%20theological%20college&f=false]</ref> In the course of time, Krupa Rao became the Chairperson<ref name="Souvenir"/> of the Board during 1990-1992 where he held a name for himself and was able to steer clear of controversies much like his Spiritual Confessor, [[A. B. Masilamani]].

In 1990 during the rotation of Principalship from [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches]] Society to the [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church]] Society, Krupa Rao played a notable role. It was the [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches]] Society which held the Principalship from 1986 through 1990 on a 4-year rotation basis and was then supposed to pass it on to the [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church]] Society but lack of ''[[quorum]]'' at the Board of Governors meeting of the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]], [[Hyderabad]] made the decision to prolong. As the day progressed, Krupa Rao, as Chairperson of the Board of Governors together with Governor [[Ryder Devapriam]] ensured that efforts were made to maintain a proper ''[[quorum]]'' resulting in holding of the Board of Governors meeting which then resolved to pass on the 4-year cycle of Principalship to the [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church]] Society. [[Suppogu Joseph]] was the outgoing Principal while [[M. Victor Paul]] was the Principal-designate during 1990. Incidentally, both [[Suppogu Joseph]] and [[M. Victor Paul]] happened to tutor Krupa Rao during his upgrading studies at [[Andhra Christian Theological College]] at its erstwhile campus at [[Rajahmundry]].

====Bible Society of India====
As a Branch Secretary of the [[Bible Society of India Andhra Pradesh Auxiliary]], Krupa Rao was instrumental in taking forward the Bible cause. In 1977, Krupa Rao became a member of the [[Bible Society of India Andhra Pradesh Auxiliary]] Committee and later became a member of the Executive Committee<ref name="Souvenir"/> of the [[Bible Society of India]] Central Office in [[Bangalore]]. During Krupa Rao's stint at the Bible Society, he worked closely with his companion [[Lella Prakasam]], then Auxiliary Secretary stationed at the Bible House, [[Secunderabad]] who also happened to hail from the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]].
