History
The idea of Jubilee Hills came about in 1963. In 1967 I.A.S officer and Padma Shri award winner, Challagalla Narasimham was asked to become the President and "help proper development of the colony". He was thought to be the best person for officer, since he had planned and developed several colonies in Madras. At that point in time Jubilee Hills is not what it is today. It was a hilly terrain and resembled a jungle. Mr. C Narasimham's family happens to be the first family to have built and occupied the house in Jubilee Hills, making them the first residents. By 1980, 350 houses were built in the area.
