Hyderabad: Konda Laxman Bapuji was elected President of the Nizam State Padmasali Mahasabha (NSPM) in 1945. In the Nizam State, Padmasali Mahasabha conference held at Sircilla of Karimnagar district on May 4-6, 1945. He declared a three-pronged strategy for social, cultural, economic and educational development of the community.
Bapuji also opened Padmasali Hostel in Rajamohallah in Hyderabad by purchasing a building in 1300 square meters. He purchased the building paying several thousands of rupees with the help of GS Pantulu, Barrenkula Ramachandrayya, and Chilka Mallayya of Sholapur. Several students who pursued higher education staying in this hostel in 1940s were successful in studies and life by getting selected for top-level jobs.
Hostels for Padmasali students were built in Karimnagar, Nizamabad, and Warangal after the construction of Padmasali Bhavan and hostel in Hyderabad. Subsequently Padmasali Seva Samaj, schools, cooperative housing societies, choultries (sathram), marriage function halls (kalyana mandapam) were established in several places for the welfare of the community.
Munnuru Kapu:
Munnuru Kapu social movement started between 1920 and 1930. Bojjam Narasimhulu, Tunga Sattaiah, and Erram Satyanarayana played an important role in building awareness on issues related to social, economic, education, and employment aspects and unite the community in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. They may be described as the trio of Kapu leadership. Initially, Munnuru Kapu Sangam was started in Aliabad in 1922 and later in Secunderabad.
Bojjam Narasimhulu played key role in the social movement of Munnuru Kapus and is recognised as the father of the Munnuru Kapu Movement. He also worked extensively for uniting backward classes on a broad framework in Hyderabad State.
Munnuru Kapu Mahasabha held in 1935, in Hyderabad, may be mentioned as the beginning of the struggle for social, economic and educational development of the community. Because of Bojjam Narasimhulus involvement, the Nizam State Munnuru Kapu’s second conference, held in 1936, had participants from not only several districts of Hyderabad State but also from Bombay, Raichur, and Chanda.
These conferences focused on issues faced by the community in the areas of agriculture, economy, and education. Since Munnuru Kapu’s main occupation was agriculture, their demands to the government included starting agricultural cooperative societies with State support, providing credit facilities to the farmers, and supply of quality seed.
Caste elders decided to promote education by starting hostels and providing scholarships for students of poor families of the community, since literacy rate was very low in Kapu caste.
