Makkuva mandal

Makkuva mandal is an administrative division in Parvathipuram Manyam district that encompasses multiple villages with rural settlements and agricultural areas. The region forms a key administrative unit within Andhra Pradesh responsible for local governance and public services.

This area was previously part of Vizianagaram district until administrative reorganization led to its incorporation into the newly formed Parvathipuram Manyam district in 2022. The change reshaped the administrative boundaries and governance structure of the region.

Telugu speakers make up the majority of the population, while Sora and Kuvi languages continue to be spoken by smaller communities, reflecting the area's linguistic diversity.

The mandal administration is based in Makkuva town, where main government offices are located and local services are provided. Visitors should be prepared for rural conditions including limited public transport and basic infrastructure in the villages.

The area has a notably higher proportion of women compared to men, a demographic characteristic that stands out from typical rural patterns found elsewhere. This gender distribution reflects distinctive population dynamics within the mandal.
