Summary of Villages
North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, which includes the districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and parts of Visakhapatnam, faces developmental challenges due to a combination of historical, geographical, economic, and social factors.

Geographical Challenges
- Its coastal location makes the region prone to natural disasters such as cyclones and floods, which disrupt livelihoods and deter investment.
- The hilly and tribal areas, particularly in the interior parts of the region, suffer from remoteness and lack of development.
