Andhra Pradesh came into existence in its present form in 1956 as a result of the demand of the Andhras for a separate state. Although it is primarily agricultural, the state has some mining activity and a significant amount of industry.

Andhra Pradesh came into being on 1 October 1953.
Explanation:
- The Congress leaders' decision not to divide the country on linguistic lines disappointed Kannada speakers, Malayalam speakers and Marathi speakers.
- They were all eager for their respective kingdoms.
- The Telugu-speaking districts of the Madras Presidency saw the strongest protests.
- In October 1952, a veteran Gandhian named Potti Sriramulu went on a hunger strike demanding the formation of an Andhra state to protect the interests of Telugu-speaking people.
- The fast continued and with this the process of strike and bandh started. Meanwhile, Potti Sriramulu died.
- This incident has intensified the situation. The protest now became widespread and intense. This forced the central government to make a demand.
- The new state of Andhra Pradesh came into existence on 1 October 1953.
