INTRODUCTION

Mahararajah’s college (Autonomous), the glorious institution established in 1879 by

Sri Poosapati Vijayarama Gajapathi Maharajh of Vizianagaram has indeed come a long way

in its ceaseless march over a period of one and a half centuries and the milestones reached

have lost count. Started as a middle-school for the spread of education in 1857, the institution

was upgraded to high-school in 1869. It has made rapid strides and was again upgraded to a

second grade college in the year 1879. Since its inception the college has got a reputation as a

Maharaja Alak Narayan Society of Arts and Sciences ( MANSAS) the symbol of

selfless service and enlightenment was founded by Dr. P.V.G.Raju, Raja Saheb of

Vizianagaram and he had donated large extent of his landed property to MANSAS for the

cause of education. MANSAS was registered as an Endowment trust in 1958 with an

objective to make higher education accessible to common man. The MANSAS trust presently

services in several disciplines like Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Arts, Commerce,

Education Training (B.Ed.), Law, Management and Engineering, catering to the needs of

students from L.K.G. to Post Graduation.
