Zamindari[edit]
RK Pet (along with Valkanampudi) was under the Zamindari of the Karlapati family headed by the Zamindarini Karlapati Shayamalambha Devi. The Karlapati family migrated from the Jaggiahpeta Village and settled down in the Madras province in the early 19th century and formed the "Apparao Gardens" in Madras. Karlapati Apparao, son of Zamindarini Karlapati Shayamalambha Devi and Karlapati Satyanarayana, headed many companies in Madras and Hyderabad which includes the Shyamala Industries Corporation, Subhodaya Publications which used to publish famous news papers such as "The Indian Republic", "Praja Patrika". The Subhodaya Publications used to be in the MountRoad, where the present V.S.T Motors and K.C.P Sugars stand today. The Shyamala Industries Corporation, with the head office in Hyderabad, used to have multiple companies under it which includes the TANA Shoe Factory, An Earthen Vase manufacturing company.
