ABOUT US

Government College for Men, Kadapa, is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the Rayalaseema region of Southern Andhra Pradesh. Established in 1948, the college was originally known as Government Arts College before being renamed. It became a significant center of learning for Kadapa district. In response to the policy of the composite Madras state to establish a college in every district headquarters, the citizens of Kadapa played a crucial role in cooperating with the government to make the college a reality. Initially, the college operated from the District Board (Zilla Parishad) Buildings and moved to its permanent campus on a 50-acre site near the railway station in 1954.

Our History

The establishment of the college was facilitated by a dedicated college committee comprising notable individuals such as late Sri N. Ranga Reddy (President), a leading advocate, Sri Jagirdar Ramachandra Rao (Secretary) and Sri T.M. Seshadri (Treasurer). These individuals, along with the support of key officials like Sri Mohammed Ismail Sahib (District Educational Officer), Sri R.S. Malayappan (District Collector), and Sri B. Madhava Rao Naidu, played a vital role in securing the District Board building for the college and obtaining land for the construction of a permanent facility.

In November 1967, Government College for Men, Kadapa, received recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) under sections 2(f) and 12(B), enabling it to access government funding and enhancing its academic stature. In 2004, the college received its first accreditation from the NAAC with a B++ grade. It was reaccredited in 2013 with a B grade in its second cycle. During the third cycle in 2019, the college maintained its B-grade status. Recognizing its progress, the UGC granted the college autonomous status in 2011, which was further extended in 2021 up to 2025, allowing for greater academic flexibility and financial support.

As the college celebrated its 75th anniversary (2024), it marked a significant milestone in its journey of providing quality education to the region. The institution has earned several prestigious recognitions, including being designated as a Regional Center for Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University, an ID College, and a Nodal Resource Center (NRC) by APCCE. Additionally, the college has been recognized as a Research Center by Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa to promote research. With a rich legacy of academic distinction, community engagement, and forward-looking vision, Government College for Men, Kadapa continues to be a leading institution in higher education.
