    Knowledge, Experience in Andhra Pradesh:


    The Andhra Pradesh reorganization act 2014 bifurcated the state of Andhra Pradesh into
    Telangana and the residuary Andhra Pradesh states. On 4 th September 2014, Mr. Nara
    Chandra Babu Naidu, Chief Minister of AP declared in the Legislative Assembly that the
    new capital of AP state would be come up between Guntur and Vijayawada. The capital city
    was named as Amaravathi on 1st April 2015. The state is seventh largest state in India
    covering an area of 162,970 km2. As per 2011 Census of India, the state is tenth largest by
    population with 49,386,799 inhabitants.

    The state has a coastline of 974 km with jurisdiction over nearly 15,000 km2 territorial
    waters, the second longest among all the states of India after Gujarat. Telangana borders it
    in the north-west, Chhattisgarh in the north, Odisha in the north-east, Karnataka in the
    west, Tamil Nadu in the south and the water body of Bay of Bengal in the east. A small
    enclave of 30 km2 of Yanam, a district of Puducherry, lies south of Kakinada in the
    Godavari delta to the east of the state.

    Andhra Pradesh is composed of two regions: Coastal Andhra, located along the Bay of
    Bengal, and Rayalaseema, in the inland southwestern part of the state. These two regions
    comprise 13 districts, with 9 in Coastal Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema.

    Majority of the people in Andhra Pradesh are Hindus while Muslims constitute a sizeable
    minority. According to the 2011 census, the major religious groups in the state are Hindus
    (90.87%), Muslims (7.32%) and Christians (1.38%). Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains & the people who
    declined to state their religion make up the remaining portion of population.

    Andhra Pradesh economy is mainly based on agriculture and livestock. Four important
    rivers of India, the Godavari, Krishna, Penna, and Thungabhadra flow through the state and
    provide irrigation. 60% of population is engaged in agriculture and related activities. Rice is
    the major food crop and staple food of the state. It is an exporter of many agricultural
    products and also known as "Rice Bowl of India". The state has three Agricultural Economic
    Zones in Chittoor district for mango pulp and vegetables, Krishna district for mangoes,
    Guntur district for chilies.

    The main source of irrigation that, four ways like, Major Irrigation (system feed canals),
    Minor Irrigation (rain fed tanks), Lift Irrigation and ground water irrigation. The
    government has taken vital role in developing the ayacut under irrigation by renovation
    and reconstruction of the projects, rain fed tanks etc., and now polavaram project is under
    construction. The pattiseema project completed in 8 months to merge the Godawari and
    Krishna river water.

    The government of Andhra Pradesh has been taken initiation for improve the irrigation
    sources like watersheds, neeru-chettu, farm pounds etc.

    I born and brought up in Prakasam District of costal Andhra. I have considerable work
    experience in different districts of Andhra Pradesh. In combined state, I have enough
    exposure in Telangana Region like Nizamabad and Medak districts. I am familiar on culture
    and tradition of different region namely Rayalseema, Telanagan and Costal Andhra.

    After bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, I got opportunity to work in different districts of


    Andhra Pradesh like Nellore, Kadapa & Krishna Districts.

    I am experienced for 17 years in different areas like project management tasks including
    monitoring & evaluation, documentation, reporting, preparing training modules,
    conducting ToTs in various fields, capacity building for institution development in micro
    finance, livelihoods promotion, public health and participatory irrigation management.

    I am self-motivated person ever, ready to improve my performance by hard work,


    commitment and willingness to learn.

    opportunities for the rural poor to meet priority social and economic needs in the six poorest
    districts of Andhra Pradesh. There are three main components. The first funds capacity
    building for new or existing self-managed community-based organizations. Specifically, it
    helps form and develop common interest groups and self-help groups, and their support
    organizations; provides information, education, and communications support including
    awareness building campaigns and demonstrations in village communities on issues affecting
    social and/or economic activities of interest to the rural poor; aids capacity building of local
    governing councils to improve micro-planning, financial management, and sensitization to
    the needs of the poor; promotes skill enhancement for participating staff and
    nongovernmental organizations; and introduces a pilot program linking local groups to
    banking institutions. The second component funds demand-driven sub-projects which will
    improve access to public social services; generate income through investments; and build
    facilities like community halls, school facilities, connector roads, and water supply and waste
    disposal systems. The third component finances a package of inter-related activities involving
    both non-formal and formal education which addresses the twin problems of child labor,
    especially girl child laborers, and high school drop-out rates
