1973 - ZPH School

Mr. Bonthu Gopala Reddy (MLA) has worked hard and got ZPH School for Munnangi. This has been a great help for students of Munnangi. Before that students have to walk more than 2 KM to Vallabhapuram from 8th grade onwards. Very few people used to travel that far and girls did not use to go at all. After this school was built, most of the students started studying up to 10th grade. This has been very helpful to our neighboring villages Pidaparru and Danthuluru also.
