Acharya Nagarjuna University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences History The name, Nagarjuna University is quite significant in that the great Buddhist preceptor and Philosopher Acharya Nagarjuna founded a University on the banks of river Krishna some centuries ago and made it a great centre of learning, attracting a large number of teachers and students form distant parts of the world. The University was established by Act 43 of 1976 of A.P. State Legislature and Governed by Act 4 of 1991 covering 6 Universities of the State. The present Acharya Nagarjuna University is not very far from the haloed spot, as it derives its moral and intellectual sustenance from Acharya Nagarjuna in which context the University has been renamed Acharya Nagarjuna University through the A.P. Universities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2004, promulgated by the Governor of Andhra Pradesh. The aspirations of the southern coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh to pursue Post-Graduate education nearer their homes resulted in the establishment of Acharya Nagarjuna University. In 1976, Andhra University started a Post-Graduate Centre in Nallapadu, Guntur Dt., Andhra Pradesh, as an Extension Center to cater to the needs of higher education of the people of this region. It is in the fitness of things that a University should grow from this Center to fulfill the desire of the people of this belt. Accordingly, Nagarjuna University came into being in August 1976. INTRODUCTION Acharya Nagarjuna University has completed three decades of its existence. It was inaugurated on 11th September, 1976 by the former President of India, Sri Fakruddin Ali Ahmed. There have been many problems, difficulties and teething problems in its onward march. In the course of the last 30 years, the University has successfully overcome most of the initial problems and is moving forward with determination, enthusiasm and hope. From the corridors of a local polytechnic college in Nallapadu to the imposing buildings in Nagarjuna nagar, the road was very long. Sacrifice, service and commitment marked the growth of Acharya Nagarjuna University. ACADEMIC PROGRESS Acharya Nagarjuna University, an affiliating University established in 1976, started with only 10 post-graduate courses in the University College. Since then, it has achieved tremendous progress through quantitative expansion and qualitative improvements on various academic fronts. This has been possible by the efforts of its dedicated faculty, an efficient team of supporting staff and high quality student input. The Acharya Nagarjuna University at present offers post-graduate education in 47 courses (39 on the University campus, 4 at University PG Campus at Nuzvid and 5 at University PG Campus at Ongole) besides Post-graduate courses in affiliated colleges. DEVELOPMENT OF POST-GRADUATE CENTRES The University has two post-graduate centers one at Nuzvid, Krishna District and the other at Ongole, Prakasam District. For the Post-Graduate Centre at Nuzvid. Affiliated Colleges University has got over 450 affiliated colleges in Krishna, Guntur and Prakasam Districts. Details of the colleges Acharya Nagajuna University since then has grown into a large University with 39 Academic Departments, including several self-financed courses, which started operating since 1992. Its jurisdiction was extended to three districts now having over 450 affiliated colleges offering Under-Graduate, Post-Graduate, Engineering, Education, Law, Pharmacy and Oriental Languages courses. Now it has 39 Post-graduate teaching-cum-research courses on the campus, while 71 affiliated colleges offered P.G. courses. The University runs two P.G. centers-one at Ongole (a fully self-financed center) and another at Nuzvid (aided). The University has been continuously achieving progress during these 30 years, in terms of introducing new subjects in the University College. For instance, two new P.G. courses, in Hindi, and Tourism & Travel management were introduced last year. New courses were started from the academic year: B.P. Ed. and M.P. Ed in the department of Physical Education, while M.B.A. in Health Administration, M. Ed in the department of Education and M.Sc. in Medical Technology are jointly awarded by A.N.U. and N.T.R. University of Health Sciences. Five year Integrated M.B.A., Programme in International Finance is started. This University has also pioneered the introduction of self-financed courses in the country, which is in conformity with the thinking of the national education policy makers such as the University Grants Commission. The University is making concerted efforts towards resource mobilization on different fronts. The policy of the University is to encourage the University College and the affiliated colleges to introduce job-oriented courses at the Degree and Post-Graduate levels. Academic autonomy was extended to four of the colleges as per the directions of the University Grants Commission, New Delhi. The University has ensured that, while there is a need for quantitative improvement with the increasing demand for higher education, from the community at large, the quality of education offered at various levels is also maintained at a high level. The University has been striving to maintain high academic standards in consonance with quantitative increase in the number of students being enrolled every year. Teaching and Research are the two eyes and twin goals of the faculty in the University College. The research programmes carried out in the various Departments cover both fundamental and applied areas. The academic Departments seek to find a reasonable and useful balance between the world of knowledge and its use and application in a more concrete and realizable form. The research programmes and course content focus on these issues and attempt to find solutions, so that feedback obtained by such an interaction could be used to bridge the gap between learning and its utility value. The Humanities and Social Sciences Departments in the Campus have been engaged in the task of studying the many socio-economic problems. Besides general areas, the research projects also cover a study of the problems of women, the oppressed classes of the society (both social and economic) and the problems of governance. The interaction between the funding agencies and their beneficiaries and the managerial problems in industries form other research pre-occupations of the University. The need for providing legal advice to the needy is winning the attention of the researchers. The Science Departments are engaged in carrying out work related to the growing scientific knowledge in solving the problems of society, like the study of pollution hazards and their prevention during development by isolating and characterizing the active principles from both floral and microbial sources; finding alternative energy sources, development of new varieties and hybrids in chilies, computer applications and software development augmenting and preserving fuel supplies and other bio-mass sources, defense research, exploring non-conventional energy sources, aquaculture development, liquid crystals preparation and study of their physical properties, microbiology and psychopathology, etc., all of which have a bearing on the day-to-day problems of society. Knowledge is thus not merely an end in itself but also a means to serve the society which funds the educational institutions and this practical side has not been ignored by the University. Emphasis on research, especially with a strong socio-economic bias has also made the University initiate schemes and projects of practical utility.  

Acharya Prafulla Chandra College Acharya Prafulla Chandra college began its journey in 1960 underneath the leadership these days Sri Haripada Biswas, a social activist. it had been so an awfully humble, troubled and hasty starting. the first aim was to produce opportunities for pedagogy to students of exile families settled in New Barrackpore colony.

Akkineni Nageswara Rao College,Andhra Pradesh The Akkineni Nageswara Rao college is the result of the munificence and zeal for higher education of the people of Gudivada taluk and of the neighbouring taluks in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, situated in a rich agricultural area midway between Vijayawada and Machilipatnam, well connected by road, rail and canal with the leading towns and villages in the district. Gudivada has always been a center of great cultural and political activity and its citizens have played a prominent part in the life of the nation generally and in particular of Andhra Pradesh. In the education sphere too, need for a seat of higher learning was felt, and to meet this need a strong committee of local leaders was formed early in 1950, and an appeal for funds was made in the name of the following as members:

• Sri. Pravataneni Venkataratnam, (President)
• Sri. Kaza Venkataramaiah, (Secretary)
• Sri. Vemulapalli Ramabrahmam, (Joint Secretary)
• Sri. Uppalapati Veerabhadra Rao, (Treasurer)
• Sri. Vadde Sobhanadri, (Member)
• Sri. Lingam Venkata Krishnaiah, (Member)
• Sri. Upadrasta Papanna Sastri, (Member)

The College Organising Committee sought and obtained permission from Andhra University and the college was formally inaugurated under the name "The Gudivada College" by Prof. V.S.Krishna, the then Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University on 6th July 1950. The college was temporarily located in a fine building on the main road. The Secretary of the Organising Committee Sri Kaza Venkataramaiah became the Correspondent of the college and Sri A.F. Thyagaraju, M.A.(London) was deputed by the Vice-Chancellor, Andhra University, to be the First Principal. Through out the fifties new courses, combinations and sections were opened and in July 1958 the Three Year Degree courses were started in the college in conformity with the national pattern of collegiate education. In 1958 philanthropic people of Pedaparupudi and Bhushanagulla donated 15 acres of land and Rs.1.00 lakh for construction of permanent buildings to which a sum of Rs.1.00 lakh was added by Dr. Akkineni Nageswara Rao and his admirers. As a result of his generous donation and interest in education the college was named after him from April 1959. Sri Yerneni Venkateswara Rao, a philanthropist of Mudinepalli donated a sum of Rs.60,000 to construct a spacious auditorium in memory of his father Yerneni Chalamaiah. The college shifted to its present location in July 1959. Sri A.F.Thyagaraju, our founder Principal, after having laid firm foundation for academic excellence, left the college on July 16, 1966 and Dr. Y.Venkateswara Rao, M.Sc., Ph.D., took over as Principal. He took up the challenging task of construction of R.C.C. buildings with the active involvement and cooperation of three popular local doctors, A.V. Raghavaiah, T.L. Perumallu and P.L.Narasimha Rao, and handsome donations from the public and matching grants from the University Grants Commission. It is perhaps not out of place to say that even the academic and administration foundation of the college were laid under the leadership of Dr. Y.Venkateswara Rao who as Principal, had rendered yeoman service for the all round development of this college. The successive Principals followed the footsteps of the first two Principals of the college in maintaining the same standards of excellence.

HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION

Andhra Christian College had its beginnings in the first Anglo – Vernacular school, which was already established in district collector’s compound and handed over in 1842 to Fr. Heyer who came to Guntur and established the American Evangelical Lutheran Mission in the same year. This school was supported by subscriptions from English friends of Missionary education then living in Guntur. Owing to financial and other difficulties due to civil war in America, the school was closed in 1863. And it was reopened in the year 1873, when it was re – organized by Dr. L.L. Uhl. From this time the school increased in number, service and influence. In September 1885, with Dr. L.B. Wolf as the Principal, the school was affiliated to the Madras University as a Second Grade College, known as the American Evangelical Lutheran Mission (A.E.L.M.) College. Through the efforts of Dr. Uhl and by the generous gifts of Mr. Arthur Watt and other friends in the United States, funds were secured with which the Watt’s Memorial Building was built. This building was first occupied in 1893.In 1907 Dr. Wolf retired from service in India and Dr. Uhl again assumed charge continuing as Principal until 1913 when he was succeeded by Dr. J. Roy Strock.
