Andhra University was constituted by the Madras Act of 1926. The 93-year-old institution is fortunate to have Sir C.R. Reddy as its founder Vice-Chancellor, as the steps taken by this visionary proved to be fruitful in the long run.

Former President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was one of its Vice-Chancellors who succeed Dr.C.R.Reddy in 1931. The University College of Arts was inaugurated on 1 st July, 1931. The inaugural courses were Telugu language and literature, History, Economics and Politics. A year later, the College of Science and Technology came into being with Honours courses in Physics and Chemistry. The University pioneered in introducing many new courses in Science, Arts, Management and Engineering in the country.

The leaders of the university always believed that excellence in higher education is the best investment for the country and engaged the services of famous educationists such as Dr. T.R. Seshadri, Dr.S.Bhagavantham, Professor Hiren Mukherjee, Professor Humayan Kabir and Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao, to mention a few who set high standards for teaching and research. Nobel Lariat C V Raman was the proud alumnus of the University and closely associated in laying research foundations in Physics. PadmavibhushanProf.C.R Rao, the renowned statistician of the world, was also the proud alumnus of the University.

Established in 1967, department of psychology and parapsychology is the only one of its kind in the country, having carved a niche for itself in the early years of its f o r m a t i o n w i t h a d i s t i n c t i v e f o c u s o n s t u d y o f parapsychology and psychology of sleep and dream. Founded by Prof.K.Ramakrishna Rao, the department was star ted when the proposal to establ ish composite department of psychology and parapsychology in Andhra University was accepted by the UGC. Subsequently, in keeping with demand of social relevance, the department

has grown to specialize in areas such as industrial psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, health psychology, social psychology and Rehabilitation Psychology in all of which doctorial research works and projects have been undertaken. The center for psychological assessment and counseling (CPAC) established in the department in 1992, o�ers its service not only to the University community but also to the general public through individual assessment and counseling, and by conducting public education workshops in mental related issues.
