C.K.Junior College
Before 1944, secondary education was not in reach in Mangalagiri. To
cater the needs of student community, Sri Damarla Venkata Bhavannarayana
had taken initiative and District Local Board President Sri Pamulapati
Venkata Krishnaiah helped to start a High school here. This was a
turning point for development of education in Mangalagiri. The chief
donor Sri Chintakrindi Kanakaiah has donated Rs.26,000 on whose name the
school was started. Other main donors were Sri Pregada Anjaiah brothers
Rs.4,000, Sri Venigalla Thathaiah Rs.4,000, Sri Damarla Venkata
Bhavannarayana Rs.3,000, Sri Janjanam Ramaswamy Rs.2,000. The high
school was named after the Chief donor Sri Chintakrindi Kanakaiah. It
was registered under social organizations with the register number
18/1944.
The first organising committee of this institution formed with Sri Chintakrindi Kanakaiah (president), Sri Venigalla Thathaiah (vice-president), Sri Thadiparthi Srikantam (Secretarty and Correspondent), and Sri Pregada Balanagu, Sri Damarla Venkata Bhava Narayana, Sri Damarla Chinapullaiah, Sri Janjanam Ramaswamy, Sri Janjanam Subbaiah, Sri Venigalla Narasimham, Sri Vudatha Veeraswamy, Sri Janjanam Veeraswamy, Sri Ramanadham Mallaiah, Sri Goli Thandraiah, Sri Isunuri Kotiratnam, and Sri Damarla Rama Kantharao (Members of the Executive Committee).
On 29-8-1944, C.K.High School was inaugurated by the then Director of
Education Sir R.M.Statam. Initially, this school was running at the
present kalyana mantapam place in Old Mangalagiri. After that, they
changed to the present place. In 1947-48, the first batch of SSLC
completed their course. In 1972-73, this is upgraded to Junior College.
In 1982, a separate Girls High School was started to cater the needs of
the girl students, in the name C.K.Girls high school.
In 1977, a Degree college was started by the same management, and it was
another milestone in the educational history of Mangalagiri. To start

efforts it started without any corpus fund. It is named as Sri Venigalla

college. In 1996, B.Sc Computers course was introduced with the donation
of Sri Isumuri Venkata Thatha Rao. Recognising the same, the college
