taluk of Anantapur district now.

The main source of income is through agricultural activities by cultivating crops such as Rice, Groundnuts, Sunflower, Raagi, Chilli, Flowers, Cucumber, Oil seeds, Mulberry, Maiz etc.

The education system is particularly good in Agali mandal. It boasts of talented young and dynamic people ranging from Teachers, Lecturers, Engineers, Doctors, Scientists etc.

However, the drawback is that the mandal is the remote part of Andhra Pradesh, which is being neglected by the development authorities. The water, road, electrical, irrigation, primary and higher education systems need drastic development.

The popular sports are cricket, volleyball, kabaddi, kho-kho, badminton, gilli-danda, swimming etc. Essentially there are no well-established facilities to practice the games, but the young people keep busy by themselves with the available play-grounds amidst of wandering people.

Hope: A strong and dynamic leader from the mandal participating in at least taluk level affairs can boost all the developments.
