About
Andhra University was established in 1926 by the Madras University Act to
serve the entire linguistic region of Andhra as a residential teaching-cumaffiliating multi-disciplinary university. The institution has Sir C.R. Reddy as its
founder Vice-Chancellor and Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as the second ViceChancellor. A sprawling campus of 425 acres dotted with 215 buildings, vast
open spaces, a brilliant ecosystem with its rich biodiversity and magnificent
Kailasa Hill as the backdrop with mystic blue of the Bay of Bengal in its front
constitute a unique environment in a city such as Visakhapatnam.
