About Andhra Kesari University
Andhra Kesari University is a significant educational institution in the country, founded as the first residential and teaching-cum-affiliating university primarily focused on post-graduate teaching and research.
It holds a special place in the hearts of the people of the state, as it was established after a prolonged and collective struggle by the Telugu elite for a university in the educationally deprived northern Circars and Ceded districts of the former Madras Presidency.
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a former President of India, served as one of the Vice-Chancellors of the University after succeeding Dr. C. R. Reddy in 1931. The University College of Arts was established on July 1, 1931, and began offering courses in Telugu language and literature, History, Economics, and Politics.
Andhra Kesari University Achievement
The following year, the College of Science and Technology was founded, offering Honours courses in Physics and Chemistry. The University was a pioneer in introducing numerous new courses in Science, Arts, Management, and Engineering throughout the country.
The leaders at the university have always believed that investing in higher education is the best way to achieve excellence for the country.
To set high standards for teaching and research, they enlisted the services of renowned educationists like Dr. S. Bhagavantham, Professor Humayan Kabir, Dr. T.R. Seshadri, Professor Hiren Mukherjee, and Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao, among others.
The university has produced many accomplished alumni, including Nobel Laureate C V Raman and Padmavibhushan Prof. C R Rao, who were instrumental in laying the foundations for research in physics and statistics, respectively.
Under the guidance of successive vice-chancellors, the university has been quick to respond to global challenges and is currently offering a range of new courses that are relevant and contemporary.
