The Department of Mathematics was born along with the inception of the college in July 1951, with
Sri.G.P.Ramesam as its founder Head of the department .Intermediate courses were offered in
beginning and on subsequent elevation of status of the college to degree level, mathematics was
offered in degree as one of the subject combinations.
There were three posts of lecturers in the
department initially and the number has risen to 12 on consequent opening of new combinations and
increase in work load.
The Department of Physics was established in July 1951, initially offering a two-year intermediate course. Subsequently,
a one-year Pre-University Course (PUC) and three-year degree courses were introduced in 1953. In 1969, in accordance with
government regulations, a two-year intermediate course following the 10+2+3 pattern was introduced. In 1986, to promote
job-oriented courses, Electronics was introduced as an optional subject alongside Physics and Mathematics, initially with
a sanctioned strength of 12 students. Over time, the number of seats was increased to 30.
The founder head of the department sri P.V. Somayajulu served the institution for only one year (1951-1952).
then sri D. Upendra Rao took over charge as HOD..
During his tenure of nearly three decades (1952-1982), he played a pivotal role in the all-round development of the department.
He showed keen interest in acquiring a lot of teaching aids and laboratory equipment for the department under UGC and special fees
grants. The department owes a lot to him for the services he rendered. Today, we have fully equipped laboratories.
During the tenure of the former HOD, Sri K. Subba Rao, saw the department being annexed with Electronics and Computer courses.
However, they were later delinked, leading to the establishment of a separate Department of Electronics and Computer Science (UG)
under the UASF Courses banner. In the year 2006, the management made a decision to remerge Electronics into the Department of Physics.
Since then, our department became the "Department of Physics & Electronics."
The department organized the prestigious two-day National Seminar on "Nano Materials and Technology" on January 9th and 10th,
2010, with financial assistance from the UGC. Delegates from all over the country attended the seminar. Currently, there are
5 unaided staff members in the department.
The Department of Computer Science was established in the year 1988 with the objective of introducing computer science at the under graduate level for the students of Konaseema area with Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science (M.P.Cs) as optional subjects. The department was started with 30 students. As the Computer Science is an optional subject, it was attached to the Department of Physics till the year 2002. Subsequently the dept. was separated and was given independent status. Former Head of the Departments are:
| S.No | Name | Date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sri M.Aruna Kumar | from 2002 to 2004 |
| 2 | Sri Lt. B.V.R.N Ramarao | from 2004 to 2005 |

Consequently we introduced M.E.Cs (Mathematics, Electronics, computer science) and M.S.Cs (Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science) and one more section for M.P.Cs, At present the Department has nearly 275 students and two Air conditioned laboratories with 2400 sq.ft with 47 systems and two LCD projectors with Internet Connection. Many of Our old students are Working as Software Engineers, Team Leaders in different Software Companies, Banks, LIC and other Govt. organizations throughout the Globe.
The Department of Chemistry was established in the year 1951, ever since the S.K.B.R.College was established, with two year Intermediate Course to impart the knowledge of chemistry among the students. Later, one year Pre-University Course and subsequently three year Degree courses were introduced in combination with various subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Botany and Zoology.
The department has well equipped laboratories for both Intermediate and Degree courses. At present there are three teaching staff members in the department.
Zoology is the study of animal life, which is one of the main branches of biology. The study reveals the evolution of life on Earth, the habits and habitats of animals, and the interactions of animals with one another and also with their environment.
The zoology department started its journey as the department of biology in 1953 with one english medium section in b.z.c. under the able leadership of sri. g. v. s. prakasha rao, the founder head of the department. the botany and zoology were bifurcated as separate departments in 1954. one telugu medium section was started in the academic year 1971-72, and the strength of the faculty increased to nine. the department has been offering zoology for b.sc. at the undergraduate level since the days of its inception. the department strives for academic excellence in teaching and research in zoology and allied subjects. the students of this department have a good placement record across the globe.
Over the years, new faculty and courses have been regularly introduced which kept the department forerunner in teaching
and research in Zoology. Situated in coastal region of East Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh state, we are in easy reach of
diverse habitats including the marine habitat of Bay of Bengal, freshwater and estuarine habitats of Godavari river systems
which provide a potential area for aquaculture activities. Thus excellent opportunities exist in this area to work in Fisheries
and Aquaculture. As the aquaculture practices were started and increasing rapidly in the surrounding areas, there is a need of Fisheries graduates.
Hence our management opened B.Sc., Fisheries with Botany and Zoology combination in 1986 and produced several Fisheries
graduates. The Department has the credit of having excellent, well established museum and the peer team of NAAC recognized it as
the best museum during their visit to our college in 2006. The Department of Zoology is recognized for its outstanding research
contributions to the field of aquaculture at national and international level. It has strong base in teaching, research and
consultancy services. Some of the members in the present faculty have received advanced training in research areas related to
aquaculture and established active research collaborations with international scientists besides industries and other research
institutes in India.
The Department has been functioning since 1954 with a set of dedicated, well qualified, experienced and energetic members with a
thirst for teaching and research. A number of technical seminars and training programmes in aquaculture are conducted by the
faculty along with MPEDA, Aqua feed companies and university institutes for the development of aqua industry. It may be more
appropriate to mention here that the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh has identified our institution as a resource centre in Aquaculture.
Accordingly Dr.P.Saibaba of Zoology Dept. was selected by Govt. of A.P as a member in three member Aquaculture Expert Committee
and sent to Punjab for the development of aquaculture in Punjab state on the request of Hon’ble Chief Minister of Punjab
Shri.Prakash Singh Badalji during August 2014. The Expert Committee submitted a report with necessary suggestions for the
development of aquaculture to the Govt. of Punjab state.
Sri.T.Sehagiri Rao who joined the department 1959 in addition to his teaching, he did reach work on Palynology of different plants.UGC and our college management are magnanimous in providing equipment like research microscopes, micorphotographic equipment, microtomes ,binoculars, Camera Lucida etc., for his research work. He published several papers in various journals. Sri.M.V.Satyanarayana Rao, who joined the department in 1962 wrote a book on “Plant Physiology and Bio-Chemistry” which brought him good reputation.
Botany Department which is going to celebrate Golden Jubilee as separate department has got its roots in Bio-logy department at the budding stage.P.U.C. with Biology was started in our college in 1954. BSc with Botany, Zoology and Chemistry combination has been started in 1958 under the able guidance of Major . P.Gopala Rao.He steered the Botany Department for more than three decades with dedication and devotion.He worked hard for the uplift of the department along with other staff members.
The area covered under Bio-Technology is very vast and the techniques involved are highly divergent. Bio-Technology
is making marked contributions in Human Health and Medicines, Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry,
Environment and Biocontrol, Crimes and parentage disputes. Our department with nearly five decades of history wishes
to provide the students of Konaseema modern trends in Botany by introducing Under graduate course with Botany
Chemistry and Bio-Technology combinations in 2001 –2002 academic year.
Miss A.Anuradha, Lecturer in Botany handled the Bio-Technology classes in the initial stages as she had
Biotechnology as a special paper in her M.Sc course. Later our management recruited Miss A.Andal who did M.Sc
Bio-Technology as faculty member. Separate laboratory was established for Bio-Technology students with modern
equipment. nbsp;Sri.M.V.Satyanarayana Rao, who joined the department in 1962 wrote a book on “Plant Physiology
and Bio-Chemistry” which brought him good reputation.
Since 1973 the History Department of our College has been a Jewel to the Crown. The Department takes credit for its
success in creating a brilliant and glorious academic record and also developing healthy academic atmosphere in the
College in tune with latest needs. The Department is active on academic front and public examinations, results are
