Y.V.S. Chowdhary's mother Ratnakumari passes away

Y.V.S. Chowdary's mother, Y.V.S. Chowdary, passed away at 8.31 pm yesterday. She was 88 years old. Y.V.S. shared an emotional note while sharing the news of his mother's death.

'Our elders often used to say to the uneducated – “If you cut your stomach, you won't get a single letter, why do you work?” But the woman power that showed an alternative to that saying is Akshara Satyam – Y.V.S. Chowdary.

With the modest monthly income of Y.V.S. Narayana Rao, a lorry driver, he managed to raise three children, provide nutritious food, clothes, rent a house, education, and medical care, and also allocated a separate budget for showing movies, temple visits, preparing festive dishes, storing vegetables, and family celebrations, and led a normal life.

She has no schooling or education in financial calculations. Yet she has emerged as a financial expert who knows the value of every rupee. She has made the family not just a housewife but a perfect manager.

She is an ideal person who wakes up early in the morning and dedicates herself to raising her children with the discipline of doing everything herself, without the help of a maid. Ratnakumari garu's lifestyle, budget calculations, and valuable decisions - are things that cannot be taught in any school,' Y.V.S. said in his note.
