3. ANDHRA PRADESH- INDIA’S SUNRISE STATE

3.1. General Overview

The erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated into two states, Telangana and residuary Andhra

Pradesh on 2nd June 2014. After bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh is the 8th largest state in terms of area.

The state has well-developed social, physical and industrial infrastructure and virtual connectivity. It also

has good power, airport, IT and port

infrastructure.

Andhra Pradesh is the tenth largest state

in the Country, in terms of population.

The percentage of urban population to

the total population in the State is 29.47

percent in 2011 as compared to 24.13

percent in 2001.

Andhra Pradesh’s geographical position

and rich history gives it unique strengths

which not many States in India have. These include – a long coastline of 974 kilometers, over 30

thousand temples, prime Buddhist sites spread across the State, and fertile lands drained by two mighty

rivers of the country i.e. Godavari and Krishna, hills of Deccan plateau, upcoming metropolis like

Vishakhapatnam and Vijayawada and an opportunity to create a world class capital right from scratch!

Given this vast potential of the State, the Government of AP wishes to facilitate investments in the State

by identifying areas of opportunity for both Private and Government projects which can promote and/or

support tourism in the State.

3.2. Economic profile of the State

an impressive growth rate of 10.99% in the GSDP for the year 2015-16, compared to India’s growth rate

of 7.6%.

Andhra Pradesh contributes around 4.04 per cent share to the cumulative FDI inflows of India in FY

2015-16. Rich in natural and human resources, the State is keen to leverage its strengths through

district specific growth strategies and achieve double digit growth targets. While focus will be on Coast-

led growth, manufacturing, agro-processing, pharma, development of physical infrastructure like ports,

airports and river ways are some of the key areas identified for pushing the growth significantly. Sector

specific strategies have been developed to achieve desired inclusive growth.

3.3. Development plan of the State

Andhra Pradesh, the Sunrise state, is all set to attain new heights in the coming years. Necessary policies

and implementing mechanisms have been put in place to drive and sustain the growth momentum to

achieve the vision of making the Andhra Pradesh as one of the top three high-performing States in India

by 2022 and the best state in the country by 2029.

1 On NH 5,

near

Jaggampeta

This location is equidistant from both Rajahmundry and Annavaram. Annavaram

has the iconic Satyanarayana Swamy Temple, and Rajahmundry and its

would cater to all those people travelling between Rajahmundry and Annavaram.

Jaggampeta, with its lush green fields would provide the perfect pit stop.

just on the

outskirts of

Samarlakota

This is an ideal location for building wayside amenities, on one corner you have

Kakinada, the district HQ of East Godavari Dist. and on the other Draksharamam,

a popular pilgrimage site. And to the north, we have Annavaram, a temple town.

And Samarlakota, itself, a pilgrimage site and a layover here would help the


26 | P a g e

religious tourists planning to visit all these temples.

near the

village

Dwarapudi

Dwarapudi is the host to Ayyappa Swamy temple, pilgrims who couldn’t go to

Sabarimala (Kerala) visit Dwarapudi. And on top of that this is the route for

pilgrims visiting Draksharamam from Rajahmundry; the same route takes you all

the way to Yanam (Union Territory), a tourist destination. Even Samarlakota and

Kakinada are under 50 km from this place, again making it an apt location for a

short layover.

4 On NH 214,

just outside

Amalapuram

Amalapuram has always been an iconic representative of Konaseema.

Amalapuram on all its sides is surrounded by lush green coconut and paddy fields

with many prominent temples. Farming is the main activity in this region. With

Kakinada being just 60 KM, and being on National Highway, it’s a good place to

building wayside amenities.
