Welcome to Mariyapuram

Located just 2 km away from Geesugondamandal headquarters abutting the Warangal-Narsampet road, Mariyapuram Gram Panchayat was formed in 1995 after it was carved out of Ookal Gram Panchayat. There are a total of 248 families in the village. The residents who used to visit Gangadevipally, which gained world-wide recognition as the ideal village, also resolved to transform their village into an ideal one. As part of the efforts, the villagers constructed Individual Sanitary Latrine (ISL) in each house in 2016 and ensured their usage too.
