LIST OF ILLU ST R A T IO N S
Front Cover: tem p le a t DITCHPALLY
The fine temple at Ditchpally, 10 miles south-east of Nizamabad
has a picturesque situation, as it is built on an eminence at the foot of
which splash the waters of a large tank. The temple is enclosed by a
strong masonary wall which has bastions at the 4 corners and a gate-way
facing the north. The plan of the building comprises a porch with
doors towards north, east and west, a mandapa and a sanctuary. An
open pradakshina patha is arranged around the sanctuary somewhat in
an unusual manner. The temple is dedicated to Vishnuvite worship
and images of different Gods of this cult are depicted. This temple
on stylistic grounds belongs to Kakatiya period and is assignable to
Circa 13th Century A. D.

INTRODUCTION.
This is the Seventeenth Administration Report of the State of Andhra,
and the 14th since the formation of Andhra Pradesh on 1-11-1956. In
a report such as this, it is virtually impossible to do justice to every facet
of administration, but we have made efforts to make the report as compre­
hensive as possible, and to this end a number of new items have been
included which will show the activities in a clearer perspective. As far
as possible, statistical data have been presented in the form of diagrams
and tables which are generally more effective. For the first time a map
of the South Central Railway has been included. It is hoped that these
alterations and additions will enhance the value of the report as a true
chronicle of Andhra Pradesh.
The year 1969-70 was one of national significance because it wit­
nessed the birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi which was celebrated with
appropriate enthusiasm in Andhra Pradesh as in other parts of the country.
Through his dedication to humanity as a whole and India in particular,
Gandhiji has made himself an unforgettable and gigantic figure, loved
by his f^riends and respected by all, even his enemies. His laudable motto
was “ Let us not forget that humanism is the highest form of religion and
the best way to worship God is to serve mankind,” and as our President
Sri \ . V. Giri, said ; “ He preached what he practised and practised what
he preached, and there was no contradiction or conflict.” During his
visits to Andhra, Mahatma Gandhi was very impressed with our State.
He said, “ Andhra Desh is full of vigour. I could see no fleshless bones.
The people are strong, powerful, insistent, generous and loving. They
have faith in the future of their own Province and India.” Would that
we could live upto his expectations of us.
The keystone of progress is education. During the year 1969-70
a number of significant changes took place in the field of Education.
The 2 year Intermediate Course was introduced as existed in the past.
The existing one year P.U.C. and the 2 year Intermediate Course were
run concurrently, with no one-year P.U.C. course from 1970-71. All
the existing Higher Secondary and Multi-Purpose Schools in the State
which were not approved for conversion into Junior Colleges, were con­
verted into High Schools. Government have issued orders introducing the
Telugu medium in the Junior College course commencing from 1969-70.
In view of the recurring droughts in parts of Andhra Pradesh it is
small wonder that the Budget for the year under report placed great em­
phasis on irrigation. The total outlay proposed for 1969-70 for major
and medium irrigation schemes was Rs. 947 lakhs, and for minor irriga­
tion a sum of Rs. 241 lakhs was allotted to create an additional irrigation
potential of 61,000 acres. This includes Rs. 31 lakhs for Minor Irriga­
tion Works under the Spccial Telangana Development Schemes. The
efficacy of these irrigation schemes is vital, affecting as they do the agri­
cultural progress of the State. During 1968-69 there were several set
backs on the agricultural front. The failure of the monsoon in the first
three months of the Agricultural Year (1968-69) alfectcd the Kharif sowings
and transplantation of paddy in large parts of the State. Then came the
