SGS COLLEGE

The S.G.S. College Committee started S.G.S. College on 1st August 1968 with the noble aim of imparting the benefits of higher education to the poor and down-trodden sections of the society in and around Jaggayyapet in this backward area of West Krishna of Krishna District. It is situated 77 kms. away from Vijayawada on NH 65 (9) towards Hyderabad. Jaggayyapet with its rural surroundings is a historically prominent place, for it was a Buddhist Centre of learning and culture in the past. The College was started to meet the educational needs of this area with B.A, B.Com and P.U.C (Pre-University Course) courses with an initial strength of 105 students. The long-cherished dream of founding a college in this backward area was realized with the generous donation of land of about 15acres by a philanthrophic agriculturist of the village of BALUSUPADU, Sri Gentela Ranga Rao. In order to show the gratitude to the principal donor, the committee named the college after his wife, SRIMATHI GENTELA..
