Amaravati is a proposed and planned capital city of Andhra Pradesh, India.[6] It has been allotted space to be built on the southern banks of the Krishna river in Guntur district, within the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region.[7] It is being built on a 217 sq km riverfront designed to have 51% of green spaces and 10% of water bodies.[1][8] In 2019, with only state government allocated budget of ₹500 crore, the Amravati project has substantially slowed down with no deadline in sight.[9] The word "Amaravati" derives from the historical Amaravathi village, the ancient capital of the Satavahana dynasty.[10] The foundation stone was laid at Uddandarayunipalem area by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 13th Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Nara Chandrababu Naidu on 22 October 2015.[11] The metropolitan area of Guntur and Vijayawada and the area of City Tenali are the major conurbations of Amaravati.[12]

Amaravati is being constructed to serve as the new capital city of Andhra Pradesh, after Telangana was split off as a separate state in 2014. The former capital city, Hyderabad, is now located inside Telangana. A new capital city had to be either assigned or constructed on the remaining territory of Andhra Pradesh and Amaravati was finally chosen as that.

As of October 2016, the majority of departments and officials of the Andhra Pradesh State Government are now functioning from interim facilities located in the Velagapudi area of Amaravati, with only a skeleton staff remaining behind in Hyderabad.[13] Since April 2016, the office of the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh started its operations from Velagapudi. The Andhra Pradesh Legislature remained in Hyderabad until March 2017, when it relocated to newly constructed interim legislative buildings in Velagapudi.[14]

Etymology

The word Amaravati translates as 'the place for immortals'. It was formerly called Dhanyakataka ('where Shakyamuni Buddha taught the Heart Essence form of the Kalachakra Dharma to the Shambala kings').[10][15]

History

The present capital area has its own historical significance of having recorded its first ever legislation 2,200 years ago.[16] The present-day capital region includes the ancient Amaravati. The area has been ruled by the Mauryas, Satavahanas, Ikshvakus, Vishnukundina, Pallavas, Cholas, Kakatiyas, Delhi Sultanate, Musunuri Nayaks, Bahmani Sultanate, Vijayanagara Empire, Sultanate of Golconda and Mughal Empire successively before the founding of the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1724. It was ceded to France in 1750 but was captured by the British in 1759. Guntur returned to the Nizamate in 1768 but was ceded to Britain again in 1788. It was briefly occupied by Hyder Ali. It was then ruled by Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu. It was part of Madras Presidency during the British colonial period.

As per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, Hyderabad became the capital of the then newly formed state of Telangana, post bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. However, Hyderabad would remain as the joint capital of both states for a period of time not exceeding ten years. Hence, Amaravati is being built to serve as the capital of Andhra Pradesh.[17]

The foundation for the city was laid at Uddandarayunipalem on 22 October 2015. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi; the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nara Chandrababu Naidu; the Vice President of India and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha Muppavarapu Venkaiah Naidu; then Governor E. S. L. Narasimhan; the Japanese minister for economy trade and industry, Yosuke Takagi; and the Singaporean Minister for Trade and Industry, S. Iswaran, laid the foundation for the city.[11][18]

Vision

The 13th chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Nara Chandrababu Naidu stated that his vision was to see Amaravati as the happiest city in the world.[19] Among the innovative features on the drawing board are navigation canals[20] around the city and connecting an island in the river Krishna and moreover government has envisaged an investment needed[21] of USD 2–4 billion for the development of the greenfield capital city[22]

Amaravati, being built on a 217 sq km open field in Guntur district, is being designed to have 51% of green spaces and 10% of water bodies, with a plan to house some of the most iconic buildings there. The city is being modelled on Singapore, with the masterplan being prepared by two Singapore government-appointed consultants. Other international consultants and architects will then be roped in to give it an international flavour.[23]

Geography

The city is being built in Guntur district, on the banks of the Krishna River. The city will be 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-west of Vijayawada, 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Guntur, 70 kilometres (43 mi) south-east of Tenali surrounding the Coromandel Coast of Coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh, India.[24]
