The vernacular press played a glorious role in the Indian Freedom Movement. Several newspapers both in English and the regional languages, in different parts of the country, prepared the people for the freedom struggle by instilling among them patriotic fervour, indomitable courage and the spirit of heroic self-sacrifice. In the Andhra region, among the Telugu journals, the Krishna Patrika played a prominent role in the freedom struggle. Krishna Patrika along with Andhra Patrika were two newspapers in Telugu, which were started in the early years of the 20th century and survived till the country became independent.
A unique feature of the Krishna Patrika was that it was started by a District Association. Its first issue came out on 2 February 1902, in accordance with a resolution of the Krishna District Association, passed in the year 1899.
