Telangana Social Welfare Residential Degree College for Women

The Telangana Social Welfare Residential Degree College for Women operates under the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS), a body that organizes around 1,000 Social Welfare Residential Schools across Telangana state under the Government of Telangana, India. This society was founded in 1984 by the then Chief Minister of united Andhra Pradesh, N. T. Rama Rao, with the goal of providing quality education to poor Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Other Backward Caste students through residential schooling. At present, the society oversees 267 institutions, including residential schools, junior colleges, and degree colleges, all equipped with good infrastructure aimed at the all-round development of students. Following the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the original Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society was split into separate entities for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Leadership figures associated with TGSWREIS include Dr. Repalle Shiva Praveen Kumar IPS, Sri. Ronald Rose IAS, and Dr. E. Naveen Nicolas IAS, the latter being an alumnus of the institution. The broader mission of these institutions is rooted in social reform efforts led by figures like S. R. Sankaran, who championed education and empowerment for Dalit and marginalized communities in India.
