History
the name dronachalam is shortened to dhone . according to history of dronachalam the tutor 'dronacharya'(a character in mahabharatha) has done meditation on the hill, where temple,masjid n church are present at one place The former name of Dhone was Dronachalam. Dhone is one of the biggest municipality in Kurnool district.Even though the limestone available in it is Andhra Pradesh's first grade ranked than that of Piduguralla, its operation has been stopped which should be answered by the politicians of this place.There was a Chief Minister from this place namely Kotla Vijayabhaskar Reddy. Even two ministers had been elected from Dhone and one more Chief minister is Damodara Sanjeevaih....... he is former Congress president.
When considering transportation, Dhone is well connected to the nearby cities like Kurnool &Anantapur as well as towns like Nandyal & Gooty through the roadway and railway. Concerned to railways it is the one and only one junction in the Kurnool district. As it is a junction, there are two railway gates in the middle of the town which are not even 50–60 meters apart. Because of this, the traffic here is more frustrating for the people living here. A flyover had been on the newspapers from the past, but not in existence.
The specialty of Dhone in Kurnool district is that it is the only junction in this district and also presence of a Hanuman temple, a Masjid, a Church on a single hill and also 'A' grade limestone available here.
Regarding the railways we have trains connecting to Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai metropolitans. We also have trains to Kurnool town, Guntur & Vijayawada via Nandyal town & Gooty in Anantapur district. Amravati super fast & Prasanthi express connects this to Vijayawada on one side & Bangalore on other side. There is also a train which connects to Chennai (Chennai- Egmore Express)
