Complete Directory of Sub-District Administrative Divisions
About Mandals in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh has 801 mandals (also known as tehsils, mandals, or subdivisions in other parts of India) spread across 27 districts. These administrative divisions form the crucial sub-district tier in India's multi-level governance structure, sitting between districts at the top and development blocks/villages at the grassroots level.
Each mandal in Andhra Pradesh is headed by a Tahsildar (also called Mandal Officer or Tehsildar), a key revenue officer who holds significant administrative and quasi-judicial powers within the jurisdiction. The Tahsildar is responsible for land revenue collection, maintaining land records and property documentation, issuing essential government certificates, conducting local elections, implementing welfare schemes, and serving as a first-level magistrate for minor disputes. Citizens frequently visit mandal offices for income certificates, caste certificates, residence certificates, property mutations, and other critical documentation needs.
Understanding the mandal structure of Andhra Pradesh is essential for accessing government services, finding local administrative offices, and understanding the regional administrative geography. This directory provides comprehensive information about all 801 mandals organized by district, making it easy to navigate to specific administrative divisions.
