Sri Venkateswara Agricultural College

An agricultural college was established in 1961 and the farm itself occupied 202 acres. In fact today this very farm constitutes the Main Research Station of the university. Such were the humble beginnings that the university, as it stands today, is a tribute to the visionaries who founded it and those who nurtured it over the past several decades.

It is a matter of immense pleasure and privilege to be part of an esteemed alma mater Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University in the capacity of Vice-Chancellor. Under dynamic leadership of predecessor Vice-Chancellors of ANGRAU, the state of Andhra Pradesh has witnessed quantum leap in the food productivity and production through agro-climate based, location specific research strategies of multi-faceted crops covering cereals, pulses, oilseeds, major and minor millets.
