Welcome to JNTUA

T
he College of Engineering, Anantapur was started at Guindy, Madras in 1946 and
shifted to Anantapur in 1948. The college was initially affiliated to Madras
University during 1946-1955 and to Sri Venkateshwara University, Tirupati during
1955-1972. In 1972, by an Act of State Legislature, JNT University was established at
Hyderabad and the College of Engineering, Anantapur went into the fold of JNTU. Later in the
year 2008, by an Act of AP State Legislature, JNTU was trifurcated into three independent
universities viz., JNTU Hyderabad, JNTU Kakinada and JNTU Anantapur. JNTU College of
Engineering, Anantapur became a constituent college of JNTUA and was renamed as JNTUA
College of Engineering, Anantapur. The JNTUA College of Engineering, Pulivendula,
established in the year 2006 and Oil Technology Research Institute (OTRI), Anantapur,
established in the year 1948 also became constituent units of JNTUA. A new constituent
college - JNTUA College of Engineering, Kalikiri established in 2013 also came under the fold
of JNTUA. The OTRI was later renamed as Oil Technology and Pharmaceutical Research
Institute (OTPRI), in 2016. In addition to the above four constituent colleges, the JNTUA has
98 Engineering Colleges, 33 Pharmacy Colleges and 29 stand-alone MBA/MCA colleges
affiliated to it. Since its inception, JNTUA is committed to develop and nurture technological
education and intends to produce technical manpower of high quality, comparable to the best

ABOUT INDEPENDENCE DAY:

Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August of every year. It was the day when we
got independence from the Britishers after fighting for many years. Britishers ruled India over
200 years. The British landed in India in Surat on Aug 24th 1609. After many years of struggle
for the freedom, we got our independence on Aug 15th 1947. Great freedom fighters like
Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose and many more
had fought vigorously and finally succeeded in getting the freedom. Many national movements
had taken place at the time freedom struggle. Many great leaders had sacrificed their lives in
order to get freedom and independence.

ABOUT EVENT:

We celebrate Independence Day on every year Aug 15th, on this day the event started at
8:00AM. The event was started by hoisting the National Flag by the chief guest of the day
“Prof. G. Ranga Janardhana Vice-Chancellor”. Later the event was proceeded by the March
Fast by the students of JNTUA and by the candidates of NCC. After the march fast, hon’ble
Vice-Chancellor made an address to the students. Later prize distribution was made to the

Victor Mills
Victor Mills (March 28, 1897 – November 1, 1997) was an American chemical engineer for
the Procter & Gamble company. He is most credited for the creation of modern disposable
diapers and the Pampers brand, production improvements for Ivory soap and Duncan
Hines cake mix, and the production concept for Pringles. Within P&G he is regarded as the
most productive technologist in the company's history. Therefore, when the company formed
an honorary society for their engineers, it was named the Victor Mills Society.

Mills was born in Milford, Nebraska, to a family of farmers, preachers and mule-team drivers.
He served in the United States Navy during World War I, aboard the battleship Missouri. He
worked his way up from the black gang to being a welder. At the end of the war, he took
discharge at Honolulu, Hawaii and lived as a beachcomber and welder on the island
of Molokai. There he met his future wife, Grace Riggs, a missionary from Eddyville, Iowa; she
insisted that he return to the mainland and get an education. He graduated from the University
of Washington in 1926 with a degree in chemical engineering.

CAREER:

He was hired by Procter & Gamble right out of

college and moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio,
headquarters of the company. His first major
innovation was converting soap production from a
batch process—basically cooking in large
cauldrons—to a continuous stream operation, which
cut production time for Ivory soap from seven days
to just a few hours.

He then applied ideas from soap chemistry to

improve the production of cake mixes and peanut
butter, among other products. During World War
II he was involved with the production of synthetic
rubber with Waldo Semon, the inventor of vinyl,
who was his mentor at the University of Washington in the early 1920s.
After the war, Mills headed up the Exploratory Development Department of P&G, responsible
for finding new lines of product for the company. In that capacity, he conceived and led the
development of Pampers during the 1950s. It was the world's first widely marketed disposable
diaper, and currently P&G's largest brand by sales revenue. His last project was to oversee the
development of Pringles. This potato snack is made using a slurry of potatoes, flour and
flavourings which is pressed and dried into its distinctive shape: the process owes a lot to Mills'
earlier work producing soap flakes.

OXYGEN:

oxygen (O), nonmetallic chemical element of Group 16 (VIa, or the oxygen group) of
the periodic table. Oxygen is a colorless, odourless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms,
being taken up by animals, which convert it to carbon dioxide; plants, in turn, utilize carbon
dioxide as a source of carbon and return the oxygen to the atmosphere.

Oxygen forms compounds by reaction with practically any other element, as well as by
reactions that displace elements from their combinations with each other; in many cases, these
processes are accompanied by the evolution of heat and light and in such cases are called
combustions. Its most important compound is water.

History:
Oxygen was discovered about 1772 by a Swedish chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who
obtained it by heating potassium nitrate, mercuric oxide, and many other substances. An
English chemist, Joseph Priestley, independently discovered oxygen in 1774 by the thermal
decomposition of mercuric oxide and published his findings the same year, three years before
Scheele published. In 1775–80, French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, with remarkable
insight, interpreted the role of oxygen in respiration as well as combustion, discarding
the phlogiston theory, which had been accepted up to that time; he noted its tendency to form
acids by combining with many different substances and accordingly named the
element oxygen (oxygène) from the Greek words for “acid former.”
