brief information about vizag
pronunciation? (also Viśākhapaanamu, shortened and anglicized: Vizag or
Vizagapatnam or waltair) is a port city in the Indian state of Andhra
Pradesh(C oastal Andhra Pradesh). It is located on the eastern shore of
India, nestled among the hills of the Eastern Ghats and facing the Bay of
Bengal to the east. The city is about 650km northeast of Hyderabad. The
city is the administrative headquarters of Visakhapatnam District.
Alternatively, it sometimes goes by its now mostly defunct colonial British
name, Waltair. During the colonial era, the city had at its hub the Waltair
railway station, and that part of the city still goes by the name of Waltair. It
is also popularly referred to as "Vizag", a shortening of its full name. It is
sometimes also referred to as the "C ity of Destiny".[citation needed]
The city is home to several state owned heavy industries, and has one of
the country's largest ports and its oldest shipyard. It has the only natural
harbour on the eastern coast of India.
Andhra University, a prominent seat of education in Andhra Pradesh, is
located here.
Vizag is primarily an industrial city, apart from being a tourist destination.

and Borra caves, the 11th-century Simhachalam temple and ancient
Buddhist sites spread across the area, the development of IT sector is

Asia, at Rama Krishna Beach.
Visakhapatnam is also the headquarters of the Eastern Naval C ommand of
the Indian Navy.
This region, formerly part of the great Kalinga empire that stretched up to
the river Godavari, has also been mentioned in Hindu and Buddhist texts
from the 5th and 6th centuries BC E, as well as by Sanskrit grammarians

Local legend says that an Andhra king (9-11th century) on his way to
Benares rested there. So enchanted was he with the sheer beauty of the
place that he ordered a temple to be built in honour of his family deity, Area
Visakha. Archaeological sources, however, reveal that the temple was - Elevation
possibly built between the 11th and 12th centuries by the C hola king,
Kulottunga C hola I. A shipping merchant, Sankarayya C hetty, built one of
the mandapams, or pillared halls, of the temple. Although it no longer Time zone
exists (it may have been washed away about a hundred years ago by a
cyclonic storm), elderly residents of Vizag talk of visits to the ancient
shrine by their grandparents. Noted author Ganapatiraju Atchutarama Raju Population (2001)
contradicted this [1].

The City/Town
From being a tiny fishing village in the nineteenth century, Vizag has grown
into an industrial hub. In the 1970s and the 1980s the city grew rapidly
with a lot of investment in the state-owned Hindustan Shipyard Limited,
Vizag Steel and other major industries. Economic liberalization in the 1990s
brought a modest growth to the city but not as much as it did to the state
capital, Hyderabad. The urban sprawl that characterizes other major cities
has yet to be seen in Vizag.
It has a small airport and daily flights from Hyderabad and Mumbai. With
the entry of two new budget airlines, Air Sahara and Air Deccan operating
there along with the state-owned airline Indian, there has been a modest
increase in frequency of the flights. Vizag Airport has recently received

increase in frequency of the flights. Vizag Airport has recently received
permission to operate night flights, and is in the process of constructing a
new runway 10,000 feet long to accommodate international flights and
larger aircraft.
There has been a rise in the real estate (realestate) prices, mainly
attributed to the Telangana movement for a separate Telangana state;
some speculate on Vizag becoming the next capital. Recently various
software companies such as Encore India, Satyam C omputers and TC S
have announced their plans for starting development centers in Vizag,
which has also contributed to the rise in real estate prises. Inflows from
NRIs from Vizag has further added to this rise.
Educational Facilities
Visakhapatnam is also considered as one of the main centres of education
in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is the home of the renowned Andhra
University (established in 1926). Prof S. Radhakrishnan, before he became
the President of India, worked as the Vice C hancellor of this university
between 1931 to 1936. The university and its affiliated colleges provide
high quality and affordable education to thousands of students not only
from the northern region of Andhra Pradesh but of the entire state. Post

the fishing industry and handles a large percentage of India's seafood
exports.

of the city.

December, 2004 Tsunami, although the tsunami did wash the stock of
some fish warehouses out to sea.
Vizag was recently expanded into Greater Visakha, incorporating the steel
plant and previous areas on the outskirts, such as Gajuwaka and
Madhurawada, into the city limits. This also increased Vizag's population by
approximately 500,000 people.
