More than anything else Veeravasaram is the birth place of late Sri Maddala Ramakrishnamma whose philanthropy had no boundaries. The entire mandal owes a great deal which has largely benefited from his far sighted vision. Being a scholar himself and a man with lot of faith in god, and as a person who had born with golden spoon in mouth, he contributed all the properties he had inherited from his father for the purpose of developing the village as a hub of educational institutions. This had resulted in the formation of an educational trust named after him the '''MRK Educational Trust''' and this trust is running a Polytechnic named after him, a Degree College named after his parents. All this happened in the year 1980 itself. He had donated his residence called Indira Marutha Mahal, now the seat of the Degree College. It was built in around 1947, the year India achieved independence. Much prior to starting these institutions, he contributed heavily for the development of a High School, which was built by Dutch long long ago and was later named MRK PH School. He was only responsible for developing the complex of temples where the chief deity is Sri Veerabhadreswara, when the complex was in a dilapidated condition in early 50's (when the area was a part of the Madras Composite State). Veeravasaram, the name itself was derived from the chief deity only.

There is a centuries '''old inscription''' on a Nandi in Sri Veereswara, Visweswara, Subrahmanyeswara, Kanakadurga and Venu Gopalaswamy Temples Complex. So far many attempts are made by archeologists to understand the script, results are not known yet. A temple in which the chief deity is Seetaramaswamy is also there with a tall gopuram. The sanctum sanctorum is just a replica of Bhadrachalam idols.
