Established in 1956, it acted as a major graduation place for the entire district of Khammam

Before taking the decision of establishing this college, the government said there is a lack of funds for land acquisition and building the college. Then a committee said as it is degree college for Khammam District to raise money go for auction of ornaments of Badhradri Rama which were made by Baktha Ramadasu.

Baktha Gentela Narayana Rao is a strong worshipper of Lord Sri Rama. This decision made him sorrow and said do not go for auction, I will give my 200 acres land surrounded by Wyra Road and Yellandu road to the government for building Govt. Degree College. Later the land is utilized for building District Court and its Quarters, Stadium, University PG College, Medicinal Park, etc..
