Peddapalli : There is no doubt that the new Integrated District Offices Complexes (Collectorate offices) constructed in all districts across the state resemble corporate offices.

Now, adding an additional attraction to the IDOC here, the district administration is developing a museum in the lobbies of the facility. This is to help people know the history of the district with ancient equipment including tools, fossils, coins and others to be set up in the museum.
