Ganivada is an old village in Lakkavarapu Kota Mandal of Vizianagarm district. Originiting c. 1860, the village is known for its vast mango orchards. ==Overview== Ganivada is an old village, with a high literacy rate; this village has produced about 25 school teachers, a few physicians, engineers, professors, M.B.A.s, M.Com.s, B.Sc.s and so on. In similar villages which were usually inhabited by farmers, this level of education was conspicuous by its absence. Notably, at a time when there was very poor literacy, this village produced a diploma civil engineer, late Sri Gedela Ramunaidu and also an MBBS physician, Dr.B.C.Suryanarayana(expired), a noted, philanthropic doctor who is yet fondly remembered in this and surrounding villages. These two individuals who received professional education became examples for rural youths who would usually drop out from primary schools but saw that education was an important way to achieve success in life. Sri Chokkakula Krishnam Naidu was the Sarpanch of this villages for several terms; he died on 12-12-09. Who are born in this village have built Rama Kovela ( a prayer home for the Hindu god, Ram) at the center of the village, Ram Bazana, a form of prayer-singing specific to Telugu culture, is conducted regularly in this temple. Now, a church also has come up in this village, signifying the changing spiritual ways of the village community. Christianity is now embraced by all communities. This village is known well in the neighboring districts particularly because one Padmashali family dispenses an Ayurvedic preparation for treating acute anaemia (Pandu Rogam)((テルグ語:పాండు రోగం )). Velamas are a dominant community in this village followed by Padmashalis. The village was built about 150 years ago and the first inhabitants are Gedelas, Pasalas and Meesalas. The once-major crop - peanuts- is replaced by mango groves. Rice is grown mostly for subsistence.This village is now connected to Vizag-Araku road by a black-top road from Malliveedu to Ravipalli Gate passing through Ganivada and Nidighattu. Rain and ground water are the only source of water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ganivada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
