[edit] Geography

Narsampet is located at 17° 55'0N 79° 54' 0E.It has average altitude of 221 meters. Narsampet 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 big village has grown into a small town inhabited by around 30,000 people.

The growth of Narsampet has steadily absorbed neighbouring hamlets such as Dwarakapet and Sarvapuram. 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 resulting in improvements in infrastructure particularly roads, drains and water supply. Life in the town has become more livable following the supply of fresh Pakhal water to the entire town. Interestingly Narsampet's growth in large measure is a result of migratoin of people from neighbouring villages. So the business in the town is dominated by enterprising and hardworking people of those villages. The villages comes under this mandal are Maheswaram,Raaavaram,Rajapally,Dwarakapet,Sarvapuram ....

The political violence of the area which peaked in the 1980s amd 1990s has almost disappeared. Educational levels of the area have improved over the last 10-15 years thanks to the establishment of both private and government schools and colleges. The town now boasts two private engineering collages in its vicinity.
