The Andhra Pradesh State Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Monday approved a comprehensive reorganisation of districts and a realignment of several mandals, with the revised administrative structure set to come into force from December 31.
Explaining the decisions, Revenue, Registration and Stamps Minister Anagani Satya Prasad said the Cabinet undertook detailed deliberations on restructuring across the State’s 26 districts. Changes were approved in 17 districts, involving 25 specific adjustments, while nine districts Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, Visakhapatnam, Eluru, NTR, Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu and Anantapur were left unchanged.
The decisions followed a gazette notification issued on November 27, 2025, and a month-long public consultation process. Based on the feedback received, the Cabinet approved the creation and realignment of mandals and revenue divisions where required, with the stated objective of improving administrative efficiency, coordination among departments and access to public services. As part of this exercise, Rampachodavaram Assembly constituency was organised under the newly formed Polavaram district, and Polavaram village is proposed to be upgraded as a revenue division in the future.
