INTRODUCTION Amravathi is the riverfront capital city of Andhra Pradesh. It is located on the southern banks of the Krishna river in Guntur district,16.5730° N, 80.3575° E within the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region spread over an area of 217.23 km2 Amaravati, is situated in Guntur district, was once the seat of power of Satavahana rulers. Apart from the historical and cultural importance, the city is also centrally located. A report in The Indian Express notes that it is "easily accessible from north and south, coastal districts and the Rayalaseema region".

OBJECTIVE 1. To collect details about various constructions started by the government of Andhra Pradesh. 2. Come up with a map showing locations of construction materials 3. To study and evaluate the properties of construction materials around the capital
