1.4.3 Proportion of literates in total population of SCs & STs :
13
The number of literates excluding the population in age group of 0-6 years in the respective total population of SCs
and STs has been worked out and presented in Table 1.8. It reveals that literate SCs and STs are 32.6% and 25.8%
in the district as against 53.5% and 37.0% in the state, respectively. There is, therefore, a dire necessity to sensitize
SCs in general and STs in particular about the importance of education.

1.4.4 Graduates: Table 1.9 highlights the information on no. of graduates and above (Post-graduates and doctorates).
It is interesting to note that the percentage share of this group of educated over state level has registered higher in
rural area of this district (3.96%) than compared to urban (1.62%). However, the percentage of the district graduates
to Andhra Pradesh total graduates is 2.39%.

Medical and Health Facilities

The number of villages having primary health centers (PHCs) is very low to the extent of 86 out of 1550 total villages in
the district (Table 1.10 and Fig. 7). The number of government hospitals is very low in the district, which ranged
between 2.8% (Homoepathy hospitals) and 10.71% (Unani hospitals) of the state. Table 1.10 (a) gives a glance of
mandal-wise medical facilities. The strength of doctors per lakh population in all government hospitals in the district is
only 8 while the number of beds is 30.5 (Table 1.11). More emphasis is to be given to increase the number of beds
and doctors in the district to ameliorate the condition of health of the people in the district.

The irrigated area under total foodgrain crops has registered higher to the extent of 59.9% in total food and non-food
crops in the district followed by non-food crops (31.6%) and total oilseed (28.8%) crops (Table 1.23).
1.8 Livestock and Veterinary Services
The district livestock population is 50.3 lakhs accounting for over 10 percent of the state (482.2 lakhs). In the total
livestock population in the state, the district population of cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goat constitute 7,29,125
(7.74%), 3,54,424 (3.29%), 33,89,701 (16.13%) and 5,08,362 (7.91%), respectively (Table 1.24). Rural livestock units
26
established in the district also represents similar share (about 10%) in the state’s total units (Table 1.25). Table 1.25
and Figs. 12 & 13 show that the availability of Veterinary hospitals and dispensaries in the district is very low which
accounts for 4 and 5 per cent of the state, respectively implying that the district is unable to cater to the needs of
veterinary services of the farming community.

1.9.1 Roads: All the inhabited villages in the district have road facility of which 28% have no bus stop facility (Table –
1.26). Mandal level picture of infrastructural facilities is shown in Table 1.26 (a). In this district, Panchayati Raj roads
have occupied a lion’s share (73%) of total length of roads among various channels of roads followed by P.W.D. (R &
B) (26%) and National High Ways (over 1%). Similar situation is observed in the entire state also. That is, Panchayati
Raj roads have occupied the first position in the entire state in covering the longer length (Table 1.27).

The percentage of black top and cement concrete roads in the district to the state level was 4.8 and 2.8, respectively.
1.9.2 Telecommunication: Access to telecommunications in the rural area of the district is very poor. Only 5% of the villages
are having post office facility (Table 1.28). The availability of telephone exchanges, number of public telephones, and number of
telephone connections in the district is 5.24, 3.14 and 2.88% of the state, respectively, while the most disheartening feature is
that the access to telegraphic offices is meager (less than 1%).

1.9.3 Per capita utility of electricity: It is seen from the table 1.29 that the per capita utility/consumption of electricity of
different sectors viz, domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors taken together in the district during 2005-06 was 558.40 KWH as
against 604. This district has ranked sixth position in the state with regard to per capita utility of electricity of domestic, agricultural
and industrial sectors, which is due to the higher consumption of electricity in agricultural sector (about 340 KWH) as against the
state average of about 166 KWH. However, the per capita consumption of electricity of domestic and industrial sectors was very
low as compared to the state (Table –1.29).

Banking facilities
One hundred and ninety two scheduled banks are functioning in the district accounting for 3 percent of the state total. CreditDeposit ratio (C.D ratio) of the district was worked out to be 0.80 as against 0.87 of the state level (Table – 1.30). There is need
to enhance the deposits in the district by increasing the level of income.

1.11 Education
1.11.1 Primary Schools: The number of students per school (91) in the district is more than the state average (87), while the
student – teacher ratio (S/T) is 35 in the district as against 32 in the state (Table 1.31). This indicates that one teacher teaches 35
students in the district, which is nothing but a drudgery on the part of a teacher even when compared to state average. The
strength of teachers is needed to be doubled for effective and efficient teaching to promote quality education among the students.
1.11.2 Upper Primary Schools: The situation is similar in case of upper primary schools in the district. As such, the number of
students per school in the district is as high as 205 as against the state average of 183 while student-teacher ratio in the district is
34 as against the state average of 30.
1.11.3 High Schools: The situation is opposite in case of high schools, higher secondary schools, deaf and dumb schools, school
for blind (special schools) and oriental schools as they registered lower S/T. ratio in the district (32,18,12,9 and 24 in the serial
order) than the state as a whole (34,26,14,12 and 29).
A detailed (mandal-wise) account of educational facilities in terms of number of villages having primary schools, upper primary
schools, high schools and junior colleges is shown in Table 1.31 (a). The data reveal that there is an urgent need to increase
32
number of schools, more so of primary to bring more education to the children and also junior colleges to reduce the hardships of
students to travel long distances to reach institutions.

6.0 OUTCOME
Mahabubnagar district has been identified as one of the backward districts of Andhra Pradesh State by the
Planning Commission and the Ministry of Panchayat Raj, Government of India. Education, drinking water, health and
sanitation are found to be the major priority sectors that need immediate attention. Govt. of India has planned to
revive and invest on priority sectors for the development of the district with BRGF funds. CRIDA as a Technical
Support Institute (TSI) has been assigned to assist the district authorities for Development of Comprehensive District
Plan and the likely outcomes (Sector-wise) are outlined below:
1. Education
Literacy rate and Student-Teacher (S/T) ratio is likely to improve through improved infrastructure in remote areas of the
district by tapping BRGF funds and funds from other schemes like SSA.
2. Health / Sanitation
Health deterioration can be curbed through reviving the sanitation works such as repairs of side drains, etc., that are likely
to be met from BRGF funds, as this has been identified as priority sector.
3. Women and Child Welfare
Minimum basic facilities are being extended in Anganwadi centers by
utilizing BRGF funds from ZP share and funds from other schemes.
4. Drinking Water
The investment made from BRGF funds will improve access to safe drinking water and prevent health hazards.
5. Roads
A major share has been allocated under roads (rural & urban plan) and this will improve the connectivity and will likely to
impact the economy of the district positively.
6. Animal Husbandry
The needs of the veterinary services of the farming community are likely to be fulfilled through BRGF funds and through
other schemes being operated in the districts.
