KAPRA: Written by                        Nutakki Raghavendra Rao. Date:15th Feb 2009

Kapra is Presently Known as Municipal ZONE Of The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.which is transformed from a small village to Kapra gram panchaayathi to Kapra municipaality ,to Mazor Municipality and after merger in to GREATER HYDERABAD MUNICIPAL CORPORATION,it has become KAPRA ZONE Of GREATER  HYDERABAD MUNICIPAL CORPORATION.

Primary Education and Employment was a dream,for locals before 1968.Now All educational instituets exists. No Industry or employment resource was there before 1968. Now four or five Big industries who are able to cater 4000 to 5000 employment,in each and  catering to similar streangth of employment in theire ancilleries. Apart from this, near about five numbers of small scale industrial estates have grown with in the surrounds and paved a path to industrial revolution. which caused mazor migrations, and forced in construction of housing colonies, shops buisiness development training centers, schools colleges, engineering colleges, scince and arts n commers colleges,super marckets,all leading Financial banks with theire branches,food centers with international brands., hotels, chaat centers. Big police station,fuel stations.with big municipal parks,Cinema halls, other entertainment centers, and also with beutiful municipal office. In 1977, A few (finger countable )two wheeler motor bicks incluiding of auther'sone ,and finger countable cars .And now we can see those countless Cars and zaaming roads.Economy growth has gone up.Roads widened,Drainge, drinking water fecilities and other eminities were provided but still 55% of the people has to get benefits of the eminities like protected drinking water  sanitation etc.Government hospetal,play areas and library, are  not established so far.

In between the years 1968 to1972, when this auther visited several times this village , this was A so small  with 500 to 600 population ,with 100 to 120 families .with vast barren lands ,except used for cattle feed.This village sarrounded by similar small villages with in one to two kilometer distance to each other.Main resource of income was milk wending to nearest city of HYDERABAD in ANDHRA PRADESH,  INDIA.

youth in those years were occupied with buisy schedule of ,caring cattle,producing milk ,looking after the farming agriculture in small way with rare avavailabilty of well water.In those periods there were no single tea buncks. there was very very difficult to find a retail grosery shop.

Natives were innocent, decent, and hard working in nature.Theire previous generations went through harrasements by then agents of muslin rulers.

THE NAME KAPPRA HAS COME TO THIS VILLAGE through ..THE DOOM SHAPED BLACKISH HILL of single granite rock ....the black layer formed through years of atmospherical changes ,So people call it blackishness as  KAPPU/kappe/  kappera and the hill has become after that as kappera gutta.

Here it is important to us to discus about MOULA ALI While narating the story of Kapra.: A  village is still there at the south side of the foot hill,by the name MOULA ALI. And a port still exists, in ruined shape.Which was originally used as reidence for Navaab's regional incharge/representative. NIZAAM's Elephent forces and horse forces were,trained and taken care  here. The port is now under destoyed condition. If governament show some intrest, still the ruins can be protected as archialogical manuments and this place can be a historical visiting place and also become a revenew generater to the governament .A Maask is existing above the hill top. Beutifil staire case with carved granite slabs,was constructed by then rulers. There are contraversial feelings about all constructions around Moula Ali.

Some older persons says that originally this area was built by Kaakateeya Kingdum, and there was a Lord Shiva Temle on the hill top,which was destroyed and mask was built over the place.We have to search for the evidances. A great old structure in proper usable  shape  is ,(detailes not known)  still existing in between Moula Ali and Kushaayguda under a private ownership and position with old morble florings with art finishings.Governament should purchase and protect this as manument.

Arround Moula Ali and Kapra there are astonishing ,beutiful rock forms /huge boulders, arranged by the nature itself, in defferent shapes. Governament or Rock societies are not taking any care to protect those as natural manuments.

Kapra is having an hidden and un exploured history which must be bring to light by historians or athorities or by valentary organisations like Wikepedia.Originally Moula Ali and Kapra was together and also a  single area at the time of navab"s Rule, but presently Moula Ali is under MALKAJIGIRI MUNICIPAL CARPORATION,AND KAPRA IS IN KAPRA MUNCIPAL CORPORATION.
