Sri Ranganayaka Swamy temple is located in Srirangapur Village of Srirangapur Mandal at a distance of 23 Kms from District headquarters and was built in the 18th century. According to legend, Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagar ruler, went to Srirangam and was enthralled by the Sri Ranganayakaswamy Temple there. He desired to construct a Ranganayakaswamy temple in his kingdom. Later, Ranganayaka (Lord Vishnu) appeared in dream and told the king that his idol was lying in the kingdom and an eagle will direct him to that place. The succeeding day, Krishnadevaraya followed the eagle and found the Lord’s idol between Kothakota and Kanvayapally mountains. The king constructed the Sri Ranganayakaswamy Temple near Ratna Pushkarini Lake and is a classic example of Vijayanagar architecture. 2. Wanaparthy turned into ruled with the aid of a feudal ruler, Rameshwar Rao II, who was a vassal of the Nizam of Hyderabad. Wanaparthy became one of the 14 important Zamindari segments in Telangana in Post-Independent India. Raja died on 22 November 1922. As his successor, Krishna Dev was a minor, his property was controlled by the Court as his ward Krishna Dev died earlier than attaining maturity and the crown surpassed directly to his son Rameshwar Rao III. Soon after India abolished all regal titles Wanaparthy Samsthanam or Raja of Wanaparthy changed into a vassal of Nizam

of Hyderabad. He controlled the feudatory of Wanaparthy. Wanaparthy Rajagari Bungalow was donated to the polytechnic college which is the first ever Polytechnic College in Telangana which was inaugurated by the Hon’ble First Prime Minister of India Pandit Sri Jawahar Lal Nehru on the auspicious day of Vijayadasami ie., on 11th October, 1959 and the most important place to visit.

3.Agriculture Introduction Agriculture is the backbone of the Wanaparthy and plays a pivotal role in the economy of the District and boosting the performance of this sector is vital for inclusive growth. Sustainable growth in Agriculture continues to be the core agenda of the Government and occupies centre stage in state economy embodying three thrust areas viz., (i) to promote inclusive growth, (ii) to enhance rural incomes, and (iii) to sustain food security. The Government of Telangana has undertaken several initiatives to boost the sector’s growth, increase farmers income and improve farmers welfare. To achieve these objectives, the Government has implemented policy initiatives such as the flagship Kaleswaram Project and Mission Kakatiya to improve the irrigation infrastructure, the supply of 24X7 free power to farmers, investment support to farmers under Rythu Bandhu scheme, access to inputs, markets & credit, and provisioning of life insurance to make farmers under the Rythu Bima scheme. Rythu Vedikas Rythu Vedikas are the first of its kind in India where a platform is being created for the farmers to motivate and stabilize the farmers in attaining the higher returns and making the farmers “Rythe Raju”. Rythu Vedikas will help in mobilising the farmers to organise themselves into groups for attaining their ultimate objective of getting the remunerative prices, better marketing facilities, higher productivity and ultimately making the agriculture profitable. The Government has sanctioned 71 Rythu Vedikas and completed with the estimated cost of Rs 15.62 Crs in the district.
