Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district

The Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district is an administrative territory in Andhra Pradesh that lies among the channels and branches of the Godavari delta. The land is flat and green, shaped by waterways, paddy fields, and coconut groves that form the visible character of the area.

The administration began operating in April 2022 after the government of Andhra Pradesh decided to divide the former East Godavari district. The reorganization aimed to bring governance closer to residents and improve management across the delta region.

Telugu language maintains a strong presence in the district, with 99.41 percent of residents speaking it as their primary communication method.

The main administrative center is located in Amalapuram town and can be reached by local road connections. The administration is divided into three larger divisions, each managing several smaller units that handle local matters.

The territory carries the name of a major social reformer from the 20th century who fought for the rights of marginalized communities. His name was chosen when the division was created to honor his legacy in this region.
