In its 41 years of existence, our college has earned a reputation as an esteemed institution. From its humble beginnings with just two undergraduate courses - BA and B. Com - it has evolved and flourished. Recognizing the evolving needs of students, the college now offers a diverse range of eight meticulously designed graduate courses and one Post graduation course.

Throughout its journey, the college has remained committed to providing quality education and shaping the future of aspiring individuals.

At the core of our college's mission lies a profound commitment to providing quality education to our students. Our student body primarily consists of individuals from rural areas and marginalized communities, many of whom are first-generation learners. Recognizing the transformative power of education, our institution embraces the responsibility of shaping their lives and dedicated to providing an optimal learning environment supported by robust physical and human resources.

Even though the college is situated in rural area, our college stands out for its remarkable facilities that surpass those of nearby institutions. We take great pride in offering our students an array of amenities designed to enhance their learning experience.

Our campus has a vast playground with a 400-meter running track, two volleyball courts, and a well-equipped gymnasium. These facilities provide our students with ample opportunities for physical fitness and sportsmanship, promoting a holistic approach to education.

In addition to our outstanding sports facilities, we have also invested in modern infrastructure to support academic excellence. Our digital classrooms are equipped with advanced technology, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment. Students benefit from state-of-the-art laboratories that facilitate practical learning experiences, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations.

Keeping pace with the latest advancements, we have embraced ICT-based teaching methods to meet the standards set by educational authorities. By integrating technology into our teaching practices, we aim to enhance the quality of education and provide students with a comprehensive and future-ready learning experience.

In addition to our outstanding infrastructure, we place great importance on fostering the holistic development of our students by encouraging their active involvement in a range of community-oriented programs. To achieve this, we have established the National Service Scheme (NSS) and the Red Ribbon Club (RRC) within our institution. These initiatives not only encourage our students to actively participate within the confines of our institution but also serve to enhance the lives of individuals in our community.

The NSS unit-1 and 2 of our institution have accomplished commendable work by planting saplings, which have now transformed the institution into a beautiful green belt, providing a pleasant and refreshing ambiance.

The NSS program officer has completed a comprehensive training program on Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) under UNISEF participating project held at M.R Autonomous College in Vizianagaram. This training equipped the officer with the necessary knowledge and skills on behavioural changes, COVID-19, Child Marriages, Nutrition, Immunization, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) to effectively manage and mitigate the risks and impact of an outbreak, As a result, the program officer will actively engage with relevant communities, ensuring their adherence to public health guidelines and addressing any barriers to their implementation.

After the completion of the training program, the Programme Officer assumed the responsibility of organizing an awareness campaign at the college. The primary objective of this campaign was to educate the faculty members and NSS volunteers about the goals and objectives of Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE). Encouraged by their training, the volunteers continued their efforts to raise awareness among the community at the village level, actively contributing towards the central objective of RCCE.

The dedicated volunteers of the NSS have actively participated in a range of programs, including clean and green initiatives, both within the institute and through special camps organized at the village level. Their involvement has been instrumental in fostering a cleaner and greener environment, benefiting both the institution and the surrounding communities.

In a successful collaboration with the Department of Zoology, the NSS Unit of our institution took the initiative to conduct an Identification of Blood Grouping Programme. This program aimed to raise awareness and provide valuable knowledge regarding blood grouping among the residents of Saluru Municipality and DugdaSagaram Village. The NSS volunteers worked diligently to organize and execute the program, which involved conducting blood grouping tests for individuals in these communities.

The NSS volunteers and college students have displayed great enthusiasm and dedication in their collaboration with the Red Ribbon Club (RRC). Together, they actively participated in blood donation camps and engaged in various activities organized by the RRC. These blood donation camps provided an opportunity for individuals to contribute to the noble cause of saving lives by donating blood. Additionally, they actively engaged in other activities organized by the RRC, such as awareness campaigns, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives aimed at spreading awareness about HIV/AIDS and promoting healthy lifestyle practices. Through their involvement with the RRC, the NSS volunteers and college students demonstrated their commitment to serving the community and making a difference in the lives of others.

Through collaboration with various departments within the institution, the NSS conducted an awareness campaign focused on environmental protection. This initiative aimed to educate individuals about the significance of water conservation strategies such as water harvesting, raise awareness about the necessity of ecological balance, and highlight the disadvantages of plastic usage. The campaign took place on the occasion of World Environment Day, both within the institution and at the community level, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and promoting a greener future.

At our institution, we firmly believe in the transformative potential of a comprehensive infrastructure that significantly enhances our students' overall educational experience. Moreover, we extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries, aiming to enrich the lives of individuals in our community through active community engagement.
