With the impetus in the growth of Information Technology and Management industry in the last
three five year plans, it has become imperative to shift emphasis on traditional graduation
courses to Science, Commerce and Computer education from the conventional areas of
graduation to the fast developing areas of electronics, communication, computer science,
Management and information technology.
An estimate of the manpower requirements in the
emerging areas has shown that there is a substantial gap between the supply and demand, with
the demand far exceeding the supply. Having visualized this, to provide Quality education UG to
the people of Rayalaseema area of the Kadapa district“Nagarjuna Educational Social Cultural
Organization (NESCO)” was constituted and registered as an educational society at Kadapa in
1993. The NESCO aims at providing higher and quality Education which will provide
knowledge as well as employment to the women students in the above mentioned district. To
achieve its much cherished mission, the Organization under the leadership of Sri B.Ramakrishna
Reddy, a visionary and pioneering personality in the Rayalaseema area, established “Nagarjuna
Degree College for Women” on 1993-94.
It was affiliated to S.V.University; Tirupathi till 2010 and after establishment of Yogi Vemana
University at Kadapa, the college is presently permanently affiliated to Yogi Vemana University,
Kadapa. The college had started with an initial intake of 50 Degree Women students comprising
four groups in Science, Arts, Computer Applications and Commerce. Gradually, the sanctioned
intake increased to 450 at UG level in 2015- 2016, with over Four courses in sciences, B.Sc,
B.Com, BA and BCA at UG level and Two programmes at PG Level.
