Mancherial is a city and headquarters of the Mancherial district of the Indian state of Telangana. It is both the district and administrative headquarters of Mancherial mandal in the Mancherial revenue division.[10] It is located on the north banks of the Godavari River.[11][12] It is located about 244 kilometres (152 mi) from the state capital, Hyderabad, 84 kilometres (52 mi) from Karimnagar, 138 kilometres (86 mi) from Nirmal and 155 kilometres (96 mi) from Adilabad.

## History

[edit]

Historically, it was part of Adilabad District, but now it is a separate district by itself. It was, until as recently as less than a hundred years ago, rich in forest resources and many small scale & large scale industries but was of little economic and political importance.[13] Gonds mainly depended on farming for their livelihoods.[14] After the Singareni Collieries Company coal mines were established in the region, it became industrialised. During the 1970s, an Industrial training institute was opened there.[15]
