Damarla Thyagaraju & Komala Education Foundation Inc. launched its second Gnan Kendram (Library) in Mangalagiri, AP, India, on February 14, 2024. This is a proud moment for Dr. Damarla, as Mangalagiri happens to be his birthplace. Since the land value there is prohibitively high, buying and building a library in Mangalagir was prohibitively expensive, so Thyagaraju and Komala carved out part of their house to start a library there.

            The library at Mangalagiri was opened by the prominent writer and lawyer Mr. Madiraju Govardhana Rao. Some of Mangalagiri's prominent members attended the inaugural function. Speakers at the inauguration included journalists, scientists, doctors, young entrepreneurs, and dynamic business administrators.
