Seemandhra

Seemandhra refers to the region in Andhra Pradesh that remained part of the state after the separation of Telangana in 2014. It encompasses the coastal and riverine districts, including cities like Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. The term is often used to distinguish this area from Telangana, which became a separate state. Seemandhra people are Telugu-speaking and primarily engaged in agriculture, industry, and services. The split was driven by regional, political, and economic factors, leading to ongoing discussions about development, resource sharing, and identity within the residual Andhra Pradesh state.
