Puttaparthi

CONFIDENCE: marked medium because the 2011 population carried here is published only by Wikipedia; the town is below the 1-lakh threshold of the official Census 2011 provisional cities table, and no official per-town census page could be retrieved. The civic status itself IS official (CDMA ULB directory). POPULATION CONFLICT: the Sri Sathya Sai district article's town table gives 68,657 (2011), while the Puttaparthi town article's infobox gives 56,789 (2011 census). Both are recorded; the district-table figure is carried in the population field. Cross-checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttaparthi . CIVIC-STATUS CONFLICT: the official CDMA ULB directory lists PUTTAPARTHI with grade 'NP' (Nagar Panchayat), and the Sri Sathya Sai district Wikipedia article's prose also groups Puttaparthi among the Nagar Panchayats, but the same article's town table labels it 'Municipality'. Urban local body merged with its mandal-headquarters record. Civic status per the official CDMA ULB directory (listed as 'PUTTAPARTHI', grade code 'NP' = Nagar Panchayat). Wikipedia's district article states 'Municipality'. 2011 population 68,657 is as published by Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district); no live official census URL for this town could be retrieved, so the population figure is medium-confidence even though the civic status is official. Revenue division: Puttaparthi. The mandal name is from the official district portal; the grouping into revenue divisions is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district, because the official portal's mandal table is not explicitly grouped by division. Division assignment is therefore medium-confidence. Official portal https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/revenue-divisions/ lists 5 revenue divisions (Puttaparthi, Penukonda, Kadiri, Dharmavaram, Madakasira). Madakasira revenue division was formed on 31 December 2025 per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district. SOURCE CONFLICT on counts: the same portal's https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/mandal/ prose says 'Sri Satyasai District Consists of 29 Mandals' yet its own table numbers 32 mandals, and https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/demography/ reports 29 revenue mandals and only 3 revenue divisions. This dataset carries the 32 mandals tabulated on the official portal. Institutions here come from the 1905 Madras District Gazetteer and the 1961 District Census Handbook unless stated otherwise.
