JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH .1986 SRI KRISHNADEVARA YA UNIVERSITY, ANANTAPUR The motif given on the cover page is the Library Building representing Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur. Land of Diamonds and Great Empires, Rayalaseema, heir to a very rich and varied cultural heritage, now proudly advances to a new milestone in her progress when the new University was inaugurated on the 22nd November, 1981. True to the legacy of the golden era, the new University is named after SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA, the greatest of the Vijayanagara Rulers. The formation of Sri Krishnadevaraya University fulfils the long cherished dreams and aspirations of the students, academicians, educationists and the general public of the region. The new University originated through the establishment of a Post-Graduate Centre at Anantapur which was commissioned in 1968 with the Departments of Telugu, English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics with a strength of 60 students and 26 faculty members. It took its umbrage in the local Government Arts Col/ege, Anantapur as an affiliate to the Sri Venkateswara University. In 1971, the Post-Graduate Centle moved into its own campus at a distance of 11 Kilometers from Anantapur City on the Madras Highway in an area of 243 hectares. The campus then had just two blocks, housing Physical Sciences and Humanities with a few quarters for the staff and a hostel for the boys.

  • The Mapping of Geological Features of Narpala Mandal, Anantapur District, AP, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques ˆpradeep Kumar
    The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 The Mapping of Geological Features of Narpala Mandal, Anantapur District, AP, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques ˆPradeep Kumar. B1, Raghu Babu. K1*, Krupavathi. C1, Rajasekhar. M1, Siva Kumar Reddy. P1, Ramachandra. M1, Narayana Swamy. B1, Ravi Kumar. P1 1Department of Geology, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract - Good geological maps are essential not only for exploration and exploitation of natural resources but also for a variety of other purposes such as location of dams, tunneling, power plants, alignment of highway lines etc. even in areas where geological mapping has been done in great detail, Remote Sensing (RS) techniques have contributed information to unknown such as identification of new faults and fractures. More or less all-digital, topographic mapping and most mapping projects required the digital maps prepared by using RS and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques with geospatial database. In this paper we have prepared Geology, Geomorphology, Lineament, Lineament density, Slope and Land Use/Land Cover maps by using RS and GIS techniques. For preparing this maps various LANDSAT data and DEM data have been collected and processed by various techniques adopted and using ERDAS and GIS software’s. Keywords: Geological, Exploration, Topographic, Structural mapping, Land Use/Land Cover. 1. Introduction The most understandable usage of geological map is to indicate the nature of the near – surface bedrock. This is obviously of great importance to civil engineers recommended by the geologist to guide on the excavation of road cuttings or on the siting of bridges, to geographers studying the use of land and to companies exploring minerals.

  • PROFILE of ANANTAPUR DISTRICT the Effective Functioning of Any Institution Largely Depends on The
    PROFILE OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT The effective functioning of any institution largely depends on the socio-economic environment in which it is functioning. It is especially true in case of institutions which are functioning for the development of rural areas. Hence, an attempt is made here to present a socio­ economic profile of Anantapur district, which happens to be one of the areas of operation of DRDA under study. Profile of Anantapur District Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the pre-historic past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anantasagaram', a big tank, which means ‘Endless Ocean’. The villages of Anantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the Minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name. Anantapur is familiarly known as ‘Hande Anantapuram’. 'Hande' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Kadapa, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palegar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by 136 his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50, 000. Anantapur then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

  • 2016-17 Potential Linked Credit Plan 2016-17
    . 2016-17 Potential Linked Credit Plan 2016-17 Anantapur NATIONAL BANK FOR AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT ANDHRA PRADESH REGIONAL OFFICE, HYDERABAD Foreword The vision of Andhra Pradesh as a Sunrise State requires harnessing every bit of potential at the grassroot level through meticulous planning and putting in place a robust implementation mechanism. NABARD has been preparing the district level Potential Linked Credit Plans (PLPs) since 1989 to map the credit potential under existing as well as new activities to boost the rural economy. Over a period, and as mandated by RBI, the PLP has become precursor to the District Credit Plan. The PLP reflects availability of credit potential under different sectors of rural economy with disaggregated potential at block level. This PLP for 2016-17 has a theme of “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in Agriculture and Allied sector”. To achieve this, the share of term loans in agriculture sector needs to be in the range of 25% to 30% for sustaining growth of 4% in agriculture sector. The assessment of sector-wise potential has been made in tune with the revised Priority Sector guidelines of RBI. An attempt has been made to include exclusive chapters on Export Credit, Education Credit, Housing Sector, Renewable Energy, Social Infrastructure involving bank credit, Agriculture Infrastructure, etc. Further, due focus has been given to Area Based Scheme for the identified activities, Contingency Crop Planning, Farmer Producers’ Organizations (FPOs), etc. Besides, this document also covers availability of infrastructure and gap to be bridged, linkage support to be provided and other interventions required by the State Government for creating definitive impact to realize the potential available in the respective sector.

  • Dolomite Mineral Occurrence in Narpala Mandal in Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh, South India
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 12, DECEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Dolomite Mineral Occurrence In Narpala Mandal In Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh, South India. T.Madhu, B.Narayana swamy, U.Imran Basha, M.Rajasekhar Abstract: Dolomite is a carbonate rock that in its pure form consists essentially of a double carbonate corresponding to CaMg (CO3)2. Dolomite is applied to a carbonate rock in which at least the minimum amount of 41 percent magnesium carbonate is present. Dolomite closely resembles limestone, but close inspection shows many differences between them. Replacement of calcium in limestone by magnesium results in the recrystallization of the limestone to form dolomite. This replacement process, called dolomitization, generally tends to destroy the original or earlier texture and structure of the rock. Complete recrystallization produces a rock in which many dolomite crystals are well outlined. In general, dolomite is more even grained and less fine grained than limestone. The weathered surface of dolomite commonly is mottled and shows the outlines of dolomitic grains and generally shows the extent of dolomitization. Factors governing the kind of materials found in limestone also apply to dolomite. Dharwar Super group, peninsular gneissic Complex-II and Cuddapah Super group. Small exposures of Meta basalt representing Kadiri Schist Belt and amphibolites representing Ramagiri Schist Belt are found in south east corner and west central part of the toposheets respectively. Western part of the toposheet is covered by rocks of PGC-II and is intruded by dolerite dykes and quartz veins. Conglomerate, dolomite, quartzite and shale belonging to Cuddapah Super group is exposed successively towards east.
