Killa Nallagonda of the fighting
The Nizam is the district of Nalgonda who fought against the heroes, the guns, the guns, the villagers against
the heroic, pacific and aggressive actions. Nalgonda has been fighting for the sleep of the Nizam in the heart of
the movement, Nallam Mushtaqalapati is the first to fight the climax of the fighters born in Nallagonda
district.
The British rule of Ravi‟s unseen and the Nizam, Nawab was declared a liberator of the Nation, and the
violence against the Telangana people. Many people have become victims of exploitation, violence, and
illegality. Nizam has been stuck in the clutches. It was difficult for the troubles to wake up when the wings
were tied to the wings. Jagirdars, Deshmukh, Deshpande and Surdhevakmu have been scattered by the people
of Nizam. The interest was paid to the jewelery and the compounded by the crowd and peeling people.
Besides, Nizam made up of his police and made 50,000 Razakars with Kasim Razvi to leave the people. All of
them were robbed of the village villagers and continued their looting. Resistance has been sacrificed to
gunpowder. Many leaders have been prepared for armed confrontation in order to ward off such a miserable
Nizam regime. First of all, Lakshmi Narsinhareddy, Arutra Ranchandreddy, 1935, who was active in the
Andhra Congress in the Nalgonda District, had organized anti-Jagirish struggles in the 36 years. Dispute
movements were directed to pay taxes. The Nizam government was arrested under the treasonous crimes
against Bellam Kondayya, who was accused of rape against the Razakars, but many cases were filed against
Bellam Kondayya and Ranchandra Reddy Madipapri Reddy. Their struggle was inspired by the unrestrained
shackles. The Andhra Mahasabha chaired by Ravi Narayan Reddy made a revolutionary decision not to pay
the land bill. In addition, the Communists were able to enter the field and help the people. The angry Razakaris
with these resolutions shot people who did not pay taxes. Women are shattered. The Suryapet Taluk Balam
village was attacked by two Communist activists to suppress public movements. In 1946, he attacked the old
sriapapattai and killed the sarasani nursea. More than 390 farmers have been killed by police on Devaruppala,
Kamareddygudem and Puligadda Mallaradedugodendam. 64 women were trapped. Four thousand farmers
were arrested in this incident. Ravi Narayana Reddy, Baddam Ellareddy and Mukhtam Moeyunuddin of the
Communist Party called for armed struggle to end the Nizam regime in September 1947 to face these
grievances. Party mechanisms were developed into secret techniques and made strategies for fighting.
Guerrilla forces were built and attacked. Guerrilla troops have been ruled by villages. 10-12 lakh acres of land
owned by the jaggars were distributed to the public. Nizam‟s pirates were recovered and distributed to the
public. Women also called for the fight against the „Goli koduko kuduko najam cirrrota‟ under the golconda

Nalgonda District Economy INTRODUCTION The importance and significance of gross root level planning and decentralized planning at Mandal level is being increased day by day, and to prepare the decentralized planning, it is very essential to have proper data on various development indicators. Among them, estimates of Mandal Domestic Product or Mandal income are one of the core indicators. The Mandal Per Capita Income estimate helps the planners to compare among inter Mandal variations, which helps to examine the Mandal disparities and to prepare proper plans for the development of the Micro Level (i.e. Mandal Level). With gradual improvement in the availability of the basic data over the years, a comprehensive review of methodology for Mandal income has constantly been under taken with a view to update the data base.
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
Mandal Domestic Product (MDP) is defined as the sum of the economic value of all goods and services
produced or rendered within the specific geographical boundaries of the Mandal without duplication
during a specified period of time, usually a year.
ECONOMIC SECTORS In order to estimate the Mandal Domestic Product, the economy is broadly categorized into three sectors.

Mandal Income Estimates are prepared at current prices with new base year 2011-12. The Mandal Domestic Product Estimates at Current Prices are obtained by the goods and services produced during the year 2015- 16.Apart from the Agriculture Sector and Manufacturing Sector, the availability of Mandal level data in respect of other sectors is inadequate. Maiden attempt is made on pilot basis to calculate the Mandal level Domestic Product (MDP). These estimates for the year are purely provisional and will be revised as and when more reliable and firm data is available.

Animal Husbandry
INTRODUCTION
Since time immemorial Human Prosperity is linked with the livestock wealth. It has been rightly said by late U.N.Dhebar that “To think of Rural Development without Livestock Improvement is to think of Modern Industrialization without Power Stations”.
Andhra Pradesh has some of the richest livestock resources in the Country and is one of the most advanced States in Animal Husbandry activities.The Livestock play a vital role in Socio-economic and cultural life of our people.
During the year 1892, Civil Veterinary Department was established in the composite Madras State to provide Veterinary Aid to the needy farmers. Subsequently after Independence, C.V.D was renamed as Animal Husbandry Department (1948), with the main objective of treatment and prevention of diseases in livestock. Initially the emphasis was on health care only, but subsequently several schemes have been taken up for overall growth of livestock sector.
ANIMAL HEALTH NETWORK:
Over the last five decades, the animal health sector has untiringly worked to lay strong foundation of effective animal health network to facilitate animal production to take off. Since the formation of Andhra Pradesh and with the advent of five year plans, rapid strides were made in the animal health care by opening number of veterinary institutions in remote areas in the State.
In the beginning of the Ist Five Year Plan there were barely 8-10 Veterinary Institutions in each district and about 200 Institutions in the entire State providing Veterinary Aid covering about 60-70 thousand cattle units under each institution. The health care facilities have increased during the subsequent plan periods resulting in a phenomenal growth of Veterinary Institutions from 285 during 1956-57 to 5013 during 2005-06. The cattle units covered now by each graduate institution is about 10,000 and by including Rural Livestock Units the coverage goes down to 4730 each.
At present Veterinary Health cover is provided by 5013 field Veterinary Institutions comprising of 22 Veterinary Poly Clinics at District level manned by Deputy Directors as referral District hospitals providing specialized services in Gynecology, Surgery and Medicine with X-ray and inpatient facilities, 281Taluk level Veterinary Hospitals manned by Assistant Directors, 1794 Veterinary Dispensaries manned by Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and 2916 Rural Livestock Units at Village level manned by Para Vets are functioning.
There are 22 Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratories are functioning, one each at district headquarters with facilities for disease investigation, quick diagnosis and for mapping out diseases to render timely and effective control measures. These are the district referral laboratories for effective diagnosis and vaccine distribution work.

FLORIDE MONITORING
Fluorosis, a public health problem is caused by excessive intake of fluoride through drinking water
(and other sources) over a long period. It results in significant health issues like dental fluorosis, skeletal
fluorosis and non-skeletal fluorosis. Over 19 Lakh population of Nalgonda are at risk because of the high
concentration of fluoride found in ground water. About 1108 habitations were severely affected. In this
regard, the District Administration has taken severally measures to mitigate the problem of fluorosis. In this
regard, the District Fluoride Monitoring Centre [DFMC] was established in November 14, 2013 is a unique
initiative by the District Administration, Nalgonda to bring convergence and facilitate inter-departmental
10/18/2019

coordination of mitigation and prevention of fluorosis in the district through concerted efforts and integration
of resources. UNICEF has been involved in strengthening DFMC ever since its inception by extending
technical and financial support as required planning and implementing the action plans and building capacities
of functionaries.
The DFMC is a unique model and a pilot project in the entire country itself. Though about 125 districts in 22
states are affected with fluorosis problem in the country, there has never been any such Centre as DFMC
elsewhere except Nalgonda to bring forward such concerted efforts through convergence approach for
prevention and mitigation of fluorosis.As mentioned, DFMC has had quite a consistent impact since its
inception.
Places of Interest
Pachala Someswar Temple
Pachala Someshwara Alayam
The ancient temple looks very casual from the outside, but once you step in the architecture tells you the actual
story. The temple has 70 pillars with intricate carvings depicting stories of Vishnu and Shiva. Main shrine is
dedicated to Shiva who is in the form of Linga made out of Green Onyx stone, hence the name Pachhala
Someswara. There is huge beautifully carved Nandi who seems to come to life any moment. There is an
archaeological museum on the site and many ruins around. The temple architecture is worth the visit.
There are three famous and historic temples which are located in Panagal town. These are Pachala Someswara
Swamy Temple, Lord Venkateswara Temple and Chaya Someswara Temple. Among these Pachala
Someswara Temple is of great significance from architectural and sculptural point of view. Panagal is located
nearly 4 km from the district headquarters of Nalgonda and is well accessible by road.
The ground plan of Pachala Someswara temple is markedly different from other shrines in Telangana. It has
four shrines and these shrines are arranged three on the western side while there is only one on the eastern side
with a common and large rectangular mandapam. The historic temple represents the rich legacy of Panagal
region in Nalgonda district with its finest sculptural works.

Locals throng the temple during festival occasions From the inscriptional evidence found at Panagal and
architectural style of the temple it is dated back to 11th-12th Century AD. The other ruins located close by and
the sculptures are highlights of this temple which shows the glory of ancient dynasties which ruled the region,
and their patronage towards religion
Sri Meenakshi Agasteswara Swamy Temple
This temple is located at the confluence of River Krishna and Musi (Muchikunda) at Wadapally village.
Wadapally was earlier known as Wazeerabad. This is situated at a distance of 25 km from Miryalaguda and 70
Km from Nalgonda and 170 km from Hyderabad. The nearest Railway station is Vishnupuri (6km) between
Bibinagar- Nadikudi Railway stations. This is an ancient Siva Temple with a huge Siva Lingam of 6000 years
old. The Lingam was installed by sage Agasthya. Siva and Maa Parvathi are worshipped here as
Agastheeshwara and Meenakshi. The Temple was built in 12 th century by Kakatiya rulers. It attracts large
number of devotees in karteeka month and on Shivaratri days.
SPECIALITY:
There is a crevice at the top of Siva Linga. This is always with full of water and even on removal it maintains
the same level. There is no logical explanation for this phenomenon as the temple is located at a height of
about 120 metres from the river water level. Priests show this phenomenon also explains sthala purana as
under
STHALA PURANA:
For thousands of years the Temple remained in dense forest. Once a hunter was chaging a bird and the bird hid
behind the Siva Linga to save its life. Lord Siva appeared before the hunter and asked him not to kill the bird
and offered him to take his brain and the hunter inserted his fingures on the head of the Linga for the purpose
and in the process the crevice was caused.
The Temple opens at 6:30 am and closes by 7.30 pm. In between also closed for a few hours from noon.

Telangana region is the home of the incredible Rachakonda Fort. The fort stands as a glorious demonstration of the Vemula rulers and their power. The fort is currently in ruins. However, this epitome of the marveling medieval Hindu art and culture still attracts scores of people. Another striking feature of this temple is that it perfectly adheres to the principles of Vasthu Shastra, which influences most of the Hindu architectures.
Rachakonda Fort
The Velama rulers, the kings who built this small but very strong Rachakonda fort, had established their throttlehold over the Telangana region after the Kakatiyas and before the Bahamani era.
The fort is built in two floors. The fort displays a breath taking view of the entire city, when you stand at the fort‟s South East corner. The entrance of the Rachakonda fort serves as an outstanding example of monolith pillars. The uniqueness of this fort lies in its construction; it has been built without using any mortar in cyclopean masonry. The fort is also adored with beams and lintels with enthralling rock cut walls. Each and every inch of this fort provides plenty of fodder to feed the high appetite of history lovers.
Rachkonda Fort
The history of the Rachakonda fort is intricately woven with the history of the velama rulers. According to the legend, the Velama rulers were wrapped in pride and believed that they were invincible. This increasing pride made them impose several carnages on their people. Women were humiliated the most, and one such woman, cursed the rulers of facing failure in their objectives and then turned herself in to a stone. It is believed that this curse brought their downfall. The stone figure is still found in the fort premises.
