About Mandals in Krishna District
Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh is divided into 25 mandals (also known as tehsils, mandals, or subdivisions in different parts of India). These sub-district administrative divisions collectively cover approximately 697 villages and form the critical link between the district administration and grassroots communities.
Each mandal in Krishna District is headed by a Tahsildar (also called Mandal Officer or Revenue Officer), who serves as the primary administrative authority at the sub-district level. The Tahsildar and their team are responsible for maintaining land records and property documentation, collecting land revenue and property taxes, issuing essential government certificates (income, caste, residence, nativity), processing property mutations and transfers, implementing government welfare schemes, conducting local elections and census operations, and serving as first-level magistrate for minor legal matters. The mandal office (Taluk/Tehsil/Mandal office) is where citizens interact most frequently with the government for day-to-day administrative needs.
Understanding the mandal structure of Krishna District is essential for accessing local government services, identifying correct administrative jurisdictions, and navigating the bureaucratic system effectively. Below you'll find a complete list of all 25 mandals in Krishna District with their village coverage.
