Visakhapatnam Pincodes

Visakhapatnam district, previously called Vizagapatam district, is one of the six districts in the Uttarandhra region of Andhra Pradesh, India. The district’s main center is Visakhapatnam, and it is one of the twenty-six districts in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It shares its borders with Vizianagaram district to the north and east, South Anakapalli district to the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal to the south.

History:

Back when India was under British rule, Visakhapatnam became a district in 1802. It was a part of the Madras Presidency at that time. Then, in 1950, Srikakulam district was created by taking a piece of the original Visakhapatnam district. And later, in 1979, another part of the district was separated to form Vizianagaram district. Right now, Visakhapatnam district is included in the Red corridor area.

On April 3, 2022, the Government of Andhra Pradesh made some changes. They split the district into three new ones: Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, and Alluri Sitharama Raju districts. Because of this, Vizag became the only district in Andhra Pradesh with 90% of its population living in urban areas.

Demographics:  

As per the 2011 census, Visakhapatnam district had a population of 4,290,589 people. This puts it at the 44th position in India among a total of 640 districts, and it’s the 4th most populous district in the state. The district has a population density of 384 people living in each square kilometer. In terms of gender, there are 1003 females for every 1000 males, and the literacy rate stands at 67.7%.

During the 2011 census, most of the people in Vizag spoke Telugu as their first language, making up 92.93% of the population. Urdu was spoken by 2.47%, and Hindi by 1.96%.

However, since the last decade, many people from outside Andhra Pradesh have moved to Vizag for work. Because of this, the language mix in the city has changed quite a bit. You can now see signs in places like busy markets written in languages like Odia, Bengali, and Hindi.

Administrative Divisions:

The district is organized into 2 main parts called revenue divisions: Bheemunipatnam and Visakhapatnam. These divisions are then divided into a total of 11 smaller areas known as mandals. Each of these mandals is overseen by a sub-collector.
