Geography

Kothaguda is located at 18° 55'0N 75° 54' 0E. It has an average altitude of 225 meters. Kothaguda is a historical place. Before Independence, the administrative unit of Narsampet was officially known as Pakhal Taluka because of its proximity to the area's lifeline - the Pakhal lake, largest lake in the region built by the Kakatiya rulers. Over the years the village has grown into a small town inhabited by around 30,000 people.

The growth of Kothaguda has steadily absorbed neighbouring hamlets such as Mylaram and Gandhinagar. The town's growth has received a big boost around ten years ago in the form of a large public investment to develop it as a model town which resulted in improvements in infrastructure, particularly roads, drains and water supply. Life in the town has become more livable following the inclusion of fresh Pakhal water to the entire village. Interestingly, the village has grown primarily due to the migration into the town from nearby villages. The businesses in the town are dominated by these migrants who propspered as they moved into the town. The villages comes under this mandal are Kothapally, Mylaram, Gunjedu, Burgu Gumpu, Polaram ....
