Madhavaram, is a village in NTR district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. This village's demographic has significant contributions to the Indian armed forces. Referred to as Military Madhavaram for its strong military tradition, the village has a legacy of service dating back to the colonial era, with many residents serving in both World Wars.

The local culture highly values military service, with many families across generations taking pride in enlisting.
