Rajugudem is a small village located adjacent to a dam called "Lanka Sagar.[1]" It falls under the Mandal Parishad of Vemsoor in the Indian State of Telangana.
History
The village was originally located in Paturu, but it was relocated to its current location in 1964 during the construction of the Lanka Sagar Dam, which was built to provide water for drinking and irrigation for local villagers. As a result of the construction of the dam, the old settlement in Paturu was submerged, causing damage to the village and surrounding farmland. Compensation has been paid to those affected by the flooding.
Administration
The village is administrated by the Panchayat Raj system. Due to its sparse population, officials combined Rajugudem with the neighboring villages, Yerraguntapadu and Kotha Chowdavaram (Tanda), to form one Panchayath.
The Panchayat elections for this constituency were conducted on 23 July 2018.[2]
