Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar will formally appoint Rao as a National Icon of the EC on Thursday. Rao`s portrayal as a principled government clerk who is determined to conduct a free-and-fair election in the Naxal-affected areas of Chhattisgarh, overcoming the cynicism and apathy of a security officer, won accolades.
