History

[edit]

At the time ofIndependence the present dayAndhra Pradesh was a part of theMadras State. The Telugu speaking dominant regions Kostaandhra and Rayalaseema were separated from Madras State to formAndhra State in 1953.[1]

As Andhra State, it consists of 11 districts, which areAnantapur,Chittoor,East Godavari,Guntur,Kadapa,Krishna,Kurnool,Nellore,Srikakulam,Visakhapatnam andWest Godavari.[2][3]

As a result of the 1956States Reorganisation Act, the state's boundaries were re-organized following linguistic lines. On 1 November 1956, the Andhra State and theTelangana region of theHyderabad State were merged to form the Andhra Pradesh which is retrospectively referred to asUnited Andhra Pradesh.

As united Andhra Pradesh, it consisted of 21 districts, with 10 districts of Telangana region.[citation needed] In the year 1959,Bhadrachalam andNuguru Venkatapuram taluks ofEast Godavari district, which are on the other side of theGodavari River, were merged intoKhammam district on grounds of geographical contiguity and administrative viability. SimilarlyAswaraopeta part ofWest Godavari District was added to Khammam district andMunagala taluk belonging toKrishna district was added toNalgonda district in the same year.[4]

The number of districts became 23 with the formation ofPrakasam district from the parts of Guntur, Nellore and Kurnool districts in 1970 andVizianagaram district from parts of Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts in 1979.

After the bifurcation of the United Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the Andhra region now known asAndhra Pradesh was left with 13 districts but was given several tribal-dominated mandals from the Khammam district of theTelangana as part of thePolavaram project. These mandals were added to the East Godavari and West Godavari district's respectively.[5][6][7][8]

On 26 January 2022, theGovernment of Andhra Pradesh proposed 13 new districts by issuing a draft notification under the Andhra Pradesh Districts (Formation) Act, 1974, Section 3(5).[9][10] After taking the objections and suggestions received from the public into consideration, the government has published the final notification on 3 April 2022. With effect from 4 April 2022 the newly formed districts came into effect as specified in the schedule.[11][12][13] At present there are 26 districts spread across 3 cultural regions:Uttaraandhra,Kostaandhra andRayalaseema.
