A.N.R. COLLEGE
Mrs. A.V.N. College was founded in 1860 as a school in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, and grew with public support, especially from local zamindars. It became a high school in 1866 and was elevated to college status in 1878 under the name Hindu College, affiliated as a second-grade college to Madras University. In 1892, landlord Ankitam Venkata Narasimha Rao donated funds, land, and a building in memory of his wife, leading to the college being renamed Mrs. A.V.N. College. The college celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 1938 and its Centenary in 1960. Administration includes a correspondent and vice-chairperson, with the Visakhapatnam district magistrate serving as chairperson per the founder's will. Academically, the college offers Primary and Secondary Schooling, Intermediate, UG (B.Sc., B.Com.), PG (M.Com.), and Diploma courses introduced in 2012. It was awarded a NAAC B++ grade in 2023. Notable alumni include Sir C. V. Raman, Alluri Sitarama Raju, and Prof. C. R. Rao.
