Konaseema district, (officially Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district) is a district in Konaseema region of Andhra Pradesh in India. It is situated between the tributaries of the Godavari River in the Coastal Andhra. It was carved out of East Godavari district on 4 April 2022 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. Amalapuram is the district headquarters and the largest city in this district. The district shares boundaries with West Godavari, East Godavari and Kakinada districts.

Geography

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district is situated in the delta of the Godavari River. The land in this region is considered highly fertile, and its economy is primarily based on agriculture,[3] especially with a focus on rice and coconut cultivation.[4] Mangrove forests are present in the northeast of the district.[5] Apart from the Ramachandrapuram revenue division, the district lies between the two branches of the Godavari River. The Godavari divides into two components, namely Gautami and Vasishtha,[6] forming an island which is called Konaseema.[7]

This district is surrounded to the north by East Godavari district, south by the Bay of Bengal, east by Kakinada district and west by West Godavari district.[8]

History

On 26 January 2022 the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet made a significant decision to create 13 new districts, and among them, the proposal for the Konaseema district was approved.[9][10] On 4 April 2022 the chief minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy virtually inaugurated all 13 new districts, officially establishing Konaseema district.[11][12] However, on 18 May 2022, the government initiated discussions about renaming Konaseema district in honour of B. R. Ambedkar, leading to violent protests on 24 May 2022, during which protesters set ablaze the home of transport minister Pinipe Viswarup.[13][14] Subsequently, on 24 June 2022, the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet endorsed the gazette notification issued on May 18, officially approving the renaming of the district.[15][16][17] Finally, on 2 August 2022, Konaseema district was officially renamed to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district. The change took effect on that date, as announced in the gazette notification by the Governor of Andhra Pradesh.

The notification stated:

the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, in the interests of public, after having published proposals in that regard as required under sub-section (5) of Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Districts (formation) Act, 1974 (Act No.7 of 1974), and having taken into consideration the objections and suggestions received thereon all persons in the areas concerned and likely to be affected thereby, do hereby notify to change the existing name of the Konaseema district as Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district[18]

Culture

Prabhala Teerdham festival in Konaseema

The region has a diverse folk culture with their regional gods. In the heart of the Godavari Delta, Konaseema is one of the only two regions in India, apart from Kerala, where a large community still practices traditional Shrauta rituals. These traditions have largely fallen out of use in the rest of India, making it a favoured destination for scholars seeking to understand ancient Vedic culture.[29] Most of the Dalits, like in most of Coastal Andhra, are Christians - both Catholic and Protestant.[30]

Sankranti is observed as the major festival in the Konaseema region. The people of Konaseema commemorate the 400-year-old tradition of 'Prabhala Teertham' on Kanuma, the third day of the Sankranti festival.[31] This unique celebration is set to gain national attention as a tableau representing the Konaseema festival will feature in the Republic Day parade in New Delhi on January 26.[32]

Tourism

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district boasts numerous tourist attractions, including the picturesque Antarvedi, Chirra Yanam, and Odalarevu beaches.[33][34][35] A notable 2nd-century CE Buddhist archaeological site can be found in Adurru village.[36] Additionally, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation operates resorts in Dindi, providing tourists with the opportunity to indulge in the scenic beauty of the Konaseema backwaters.[37]

Among the district's religious landmarks, Sri Vighneswara Swamy Devasthanam in Ainavilli,[38] Lord Venkateshwara Temple in Appanapalli,[39] Lakshmi Narasimha Temple in Antarvedi,[40] and Bhimeswara Swamy Temple in Draksharamam[41] are renowned for their cultural and historical significance.

Transportation

Road

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district has efficient connectivity through state and national highways, namely NH216, NH216A, and NH216E, which diverge from NH16 and pass through the region.[42][43] Furthermore, APSRTC has bus depots in Amalapuram, Ravulapalem, and Ramachandrapuram,[44] operating bus services to villages within the district and connecting to various towns and cities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[45]

Railway

The district is currently served by four railway stations. Dwarapudi railway station and Kesavaram railway station on the Howrah-Chennai main line, and Kotipalli railway station and Ramachandrapuram railway station[46] on the Kakinada - Kotipalli line. Additionally, the Kakinada - Kotipalli - Narsapur railway line is currently under construction, including the development of a bridge over the Godavari river.[47] Upon completion, this railway line will include a stop at the district headquarters, Amalapuram railway station, enhancing connectivity in the region.[48][49] Among the major railway stations in proximity to the district are Rajahmundry railway station and Narasapur railway station.

Air

The district lacks airport, with the closest domestic options being Rajahmundry Airport at a distance of 75.5 kilometres (46.9 mi) and Vijayawada Airport at 170 kilometres (110 mi) from the district headquarters, Amalapuram. For international travel, the nearest airports are Visakhapatnam Airport, situated 219 kilometres (136 mi) away, and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, located 474 kilometres (295 mi) away.[50][51]
