The Ethnicity of Andhra Pradesh represents a variety of communities that are living in the state harmoniously for decades. Tribes of Telegu origin primarily don the rural landscape of the place. Being the fifth largest populated region of India, Andhra Pradesh is a land of dynamic Ethnic groups.

Communal riots and other external elements of disruption that can adversely affect the otherwise calm structure of Andhra Pradesh’s society are carefully prevented from reaching the contours of the state. Even if there is a slight hint of any religious or sect-wise disturbance, the governing bodies of the place, along with the enthusiastic support of the local population, efficiently erases the prospective possibilities of the same. Such is the effect of brotherhood between the Ethnicities of the state that a new comer to the place can also easily fathom the depth of the harmony of the residing people.
To improve and encourage the minority Ethnic groups, the Government of Andhra Pradesh is taking concrete measures through building infrastructural facilities and social awareness programmes. Some of the private Non governmental Organizations are also playing a significant role in bringing the less privileged Ethnic faction to the forefront of socio-economic development.
Inspite of being inhabited by such a wide gamut of Ethnicities, the state of Andhra Pradesh still boasts of a peaceful co-existence of all caste and communities.
