As a student, spending most of his student hood days in Hostels, Sri K.V.Vishnu Raju was a kind of introvert and shy, but a disciplined student. Then during his stay at Delhi, he started participating in extracurricular activities that helped him to come out of the shell. But his actual confidence levels shot up only after going aboard.

Sri K.V. Vishnu Raju was greatly influenced by his grandfather and imbibed the qualities of simplicity, hard work, will power, patience and kindness from his grandfather who is supposed to have moulded his character as guide and philosopher.

After Dr. B.V. Raju, Sri K.V. Vishnu Raju had to shoulder the responsibilities to run the college and the industries. His hyperactive nature is providing him with all the energy required for the purpose. One can witness "the most incredible display of stamina" in him. He believes that it is inactivity, but not activity that wears down the body and spirit. Sri. K.V. Vishnu Raju is not a very easy man to work with, because he expects the other to put in as much effort as he himself would. When it comes to expenditure for the welfare of his students and employees, he is extremely considerate and very liberal. He takes utmost care to provide all the basic amenities.Yet, he discourages spending without purpose.

Sri K.V. Vishnu Raju carries the vision of his grand father. Presently he is working towards starting a school and a medical college, and towards updating all the present colleges and industries. He is also full of plans for the upliftment of economically backward people of the society.
