About College


"Nuzvid", the capital seat of the famous zamindars of the illustrious Appa Rao family, has been a centre of great cultural and literary activity. Many a scholar and a poet had been recipient of annual gratuity and honour from them, who besides being poets themselves are patrons of learning and arts. 

Sri Raja Rangaiah Appa Rao, Raja Saheb of Vuyyuru, had cherished the noble idea of starting a College at Nuzvid, nearly century and half. He even made a mention of it in his will and set apart Veleru Village as a source of income for the proposed College. Subsequently, in 1936, Sri Raja Venkatadri Appa Rao Bahadur, in consequence to fulfill his father's will had established S.R.R. College at Vijayawada as there was not even one, in that fast growing town, which, in those days had been known as cultural sahara. Nuzvid had at that time, only a few high schools in and around. 

As days rolled by, nearly 25 high schools came up within 20 miles radius of Nuzvid. As a result of which, a need for a College At Nuzvid was felt by one and all in and around. 

Sri M.R. Appa Rao Bahadur, M.A., M.L.A. and under his guidance Sri Y.Madhavacharyulu worked hard it was due to unceasing and untiring efforts of both of these gentlemen there came into existence the College. 

Naming it, 'Dharma Appa Rao College' was inaugurated on 27-7-1966 in the buildings situated in the fort which Sri Sobhandri AppaRao Bahadur, Raja of Yalamarru, donated in memory of his late son V.K.N. Appa Rao. A little later, Sri M.V.R. AppaRao, Raja Saheb, Zamindar of Meerjapuram and his sons Sri M.V.N. Appa Rao Bahadur, Sri M.V.M.G. Appa Rao Bahadur were also pleased to donate the adjoining buildings with a large heart, to the college. 

Manyasri P.V.G. Raju, Minister for Cultural affairs, Government of Andhra Pradesh and Pro-Chancellor of Andhra University was kind enough to inaugurate the College. The College began to function from 27-7-1966 with the kind blessings of great personages like Avatar Mehar Baba and Swamy Gnananda, honourary Prof. of Nuclear Physics, Andhra University.
