Intur

Intur and Amruthalur were first ruled by the Katragadda Zamindars, especially under Rao Saheb Katragadda Pedda Achaiah Garu (1848-1890). Later his eldest son Katragadda Sriramulu Garu (1873-1906) ruled. After him his only son Katragadda Varadarajulu Garu (1896-1960) ruled until the abolition of the Zamindar system. Katragadda Varadarajulu Garu built a school on his own land in Intur and Amruthalur mandal. Mahatma Gandhi visited this school, which was later renamed as Katragadda Zilla Parishad High School under government control. He himself built water wells for the welfare of the people. He donated his land for cremation grounds in the surrounding areas of Intur, Rambhotlapallem and Tummalapallem, as there were no crematoriums in those areas. On the advice of his relative Jagarlamudi Kuppuswami Chowdary, in 1933, Katragadda Varadarajulu leased 35 acres of land to Vinayashram for 99 years.
