Andhra University (A.U) Campus

Andhra University personalities have added new dimensions of glory to Vizianagaram. The Pusapatis of Vizianagaram, the Ravus of Bobbili, Varicharlas of Kurupam, the Satrucharlas of Merangi and the aristocrats of salur were all the exalted Luminaries and multi-facial personalities. Their patronage of Art and Literature is highly laudable. The battle of Bobbili and the battle of Padmanabham are unforgettable and make the area the land of pride and valour. Past and rich cultural heritage made Vizianagaram the cultural capital of Andhra Pradesh. It acquired a separate statehood in 1979. The Raja Saheb Dr. P.V.G. Raju who inherits the socialistic fervor and the spirit of religious tolerance from his ancestors, renounced his Zamindari with out taking any compensation and their fort is now entirely became the citadel of education which houses on of the oldest colleges. 

Andhra University is not just one of the oldest educational institutions in the country, but is also the first to be conceived as a residential and teaching-cum-affiliating University, mainly devoted to postgraduate teaching and research. The mission of Andhra University is to leverage global knowledge networks to help India and International Community in developing human resources capable of leading creative developments by upholding intellectual traditions and human values. Keeping in pace with the global needs and challenges under the leadership and guidance of successive Vice-chancellors, the University offers several new Courses of relevance and Contemporary significance. The Andhra University has always subjected itself for continuous self-evaluation for maintaining standards and to reach set targets.
