Shaping Minds, Building Futures

Government College for Men (Autonomous), Kadapa, is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. Established in 1948, the college has been a beacon of academic excellence, moulding generations of responsible citizens through a strong emphasis on knowledge, values, and professional skills. Re-accredited by NAAC with B++ grade and recognized under UGC sections 2(f) & 12(B).

Established in 1948 as Government Arts College, the institution was renamed Government College for Men and grew into a significant centre of learning in Kadapa district. In response to the Madras State's policy of placing a college at every district headquarters, citizens of Kadapa played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life.

In November 1967 the college received recognition from the UGC under sections 2(f) and 12(B). In 2004 it received its first NAAC accreditation at B++ grade and has continued to grow in academic stature ever since.
