Post-Independence

In 1979, part of the district was split to help form Vizianagaram district. Visakhapatnam District is currently a part of the Red Corridor.

Geography

Visakhapatnam district occupies an area of approximately 11,200 square kilometres (4,300 sq mi), comparatively equivalent to Canada's Cape Breton Island.

Economy

Visakhapatnam district is the central hub for industry and education in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Visakhapatnam district hosts the "Vizag Steel plant". To acquire this plant a huge mass movement arose, using the slogan "visakha ukku andhrula Hakku", (meaning - Steel for Vizag is the right of Andhraites; ukku - steel and hakku - right), which finally got the steel plant to the city.

Household indicators

In 2007–2008 the International Institute for Population Sciences interviewed 1233 households in 30 villages across the district. They found that 82.1% had access to electricity, 73.9% had drinking water, 42.6% toilet facilities, and 43.8% lived in a pucca (permanent) home. 22.6% of girls wed before the legal age of 18 and 73.8% of interviewees carried a BPL card.
