II. Background of the college with Vision, Mission and Objectives

K.G.R.L College is located in Bhimavaram, a place hailed as ‘Second Bardoli’ by

Mahatma Gandhi, a place where several thousands of freedom fighters participated in
the ‘Salt Satyagraha’ launched by Mahatma in the year 1930. The college enjoys a
unique setting in the green fields. Its calm and serene atmosphere inspires the light of
knowledge. It occupies a sprawling campus of 18 acres dotted with more than 25
buildings.
The Bhimavaram Education Society was established in July, 1975 with a view to
extend more education facilities to the people in and around Bhimavaram by
establishing different educational institutions. As a response to the aspirations and
enthusiasm of the people in general and the Bhimavaram Education Society in
particular, Sri Kotikalapudi Govinda Rao came forward and offered munificent
donation for the establishment of K.G.R.L Degree College.
The college was inaugurated on 20th August, 1975 by Sri M. R. Apparao, the then
vice chancellor of Andhra University. Sri Mandali Venkata Krishna Rao, the then
Eduction Minister of Govt. Of Andhra Pradesh, was the Chief Guest.
Our Vision : To educate and mould younger generation as true citizens
Our Mission : To submit enlightened and patriotic youth to our society
Our Goal : To provide a platform for social transformation and to ensure
social productivity among the youth.
