B. N. College, Nidubrolu 1 Preface Pamulapati Butchi Naidu College was founded in 1951 by Sri. Pamulapati Butchi Naidu with a missionary zeal of providing higher education to the rural people of the surrounding Nidubrolu and Ponnur of Guntur District. The munificent donation of Sri. Pamaulapati Butchi Naidu and the line of office bearers till date have groomed the organization. The college has grown from strength to strength in fulfilling the vision during the 64 years of its existence. Having withstood many testing times, it has reached the present stage of offering undergraduate programmes in B.A., B.Com. and B.Sc. affiliated to Acharya Nagarjuna University. Rising to the occasion the President of the Governing Body, Capt. N. Ankappa Choudary and the Secretary & Correspondent Sri. N. Anna Rao encouraged the undertaking of NAAC Assessment in 2007. The first cycle Assessment was done on 28th and 29th March 2007. The first accreditation of our institution was an actualization of our strengths and challenges lying ahead with an explorative approach and validation by the NAAC at ‘B’ grade. The contemporary times are riddled with the challenges of privatization while the conventional education is juxtaposed with the professional education in providing employment opportunities. The ban in granting permission to fill up the vacant superannuated posts seems to foster further challenges. Poised in the challenging times and located in a faraway place from the hustle and bustle, the college is making all-out efforts to accomplish its goal by inducting technology in its implementation of mission. The institution is invigorated by the first cycle of accreditation in reorienting itself in pursuit of excellence. The Management, Faculty, Non-Teaching staff and students offer for the second cycle of assessment, which will serve as a cardinal principle in the service of the stake holders, society and the nation at large.

B. N. College, Nidubrolu 5 Brief History of the College Pamulapati Butchi Naidu College, Nidubrolu, owes its genesis to the inspiration provided by Prof. N.G. Ranga to his nephew, Sri. Pamulapati Butchi Naidu and his devoted spouse Smt. Venkata Subbamma. The idea of founding a college in Nidubrolu, a typical rural area, was crystallized when Sri. Pamulapati Butchi Naidu was exposed to the Folk Schools in Holland and Denmark in 1947, where Prof. N. G. Ranga and Sri P.B.Naidu attended the International Peasants’Conference. The Folk Schools modelled after the vision of the Danish Peasants educationist Grunt Wig served the village or simple peasant environment. Sri. P. B. Naidu having been impressed by the system expressed his wish to start one such institution in Niduborlu to provide similar opportunities to rural youth to gain education, scientific temper and cultural equipment. This experience provided the necessary impetus for the starting of college in Nidubrolu. Sri. P.B. Naidu came out in 1950 with a donation of Rs. 1.5 lakhs to start a college. The Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University, Dr. V.S. Krishna blessed the initiative of P.B.Naidu. The college came into being on 6th July 1951. Besides the Chief Donor there are many who contributed liberally to the inception of the college. The other prominent donors like, Sri. P.Prasada Rao, the founder President, and Sri. N.Venkata Subba Rao, founder Secretary &Correspondent , who donated Rs.20,000 and Rs.25,000 respectively. Smt. Kolli Mangamma donated 7 acres and 22 cents in memory of her husband Sri. Kolli Kotaiah. Pamulapati Butchi Naidu College, was only an Intermediate College in 1951. In 1955 it was upgraded to Degree College, and was affiliated to Andhra University . In 1986 the college came into the fold of Acharya Nagarjuna University as an affiliated college offering undergraduate courses in B.A., B.Com. and B.Sc. Self-study Report, Cycle-2, P. B. N. College, Nidubrolu 6 Executive Summary Pamulapati Butchi Naidu College has achieved a unique place among the rural colleges of Andhra Pradesh. Since its inception in 1951, it has been striving hard to reach the place of eminence by fulfilling its mission of disseminating higher education to the poor people in the surrounding places of Nidubrolu. Having accomplished the primary goal, it is poised to train the students who hail from the rural areas and groom them into knowledgeable and socially responsible citizens. In the college’s trail of six decades of service, it has evolved into an ideal centre for the education of young learners especially first generation learners drawn from the peasant families in the rural surroundings of Nidubrolu. The institution has 17 Departments offering 3 undergraduate programmes with 10 combinations. The departments of History, Political Science, Economics, Commerce, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Botany and Zoology offer instruction in both media (Telugu and English). The restructured courses with Computer Science, Electronics, Statistics have only mainstream English instruction. The faculty strength that includes both permanent and part-time stands at 36. The supporting and non-teaching staff constitute predominantly permanent staff members numbering 27. The student strength at undergraduate level for the academic year is 450. Education, particularly higher education, of present time is predominantly an area of private education institutions where the fee structure is not within the reach of common people. In the era of corporatization of education, the college offers education at an affordable fee. This aspect makes it accessible to the rural students who are miles away from the premier and expensive centers of learning. The college extends scholarships to all the eligible students of SC, ST, BC and Minority students. There are scholarships and endowments from the philanthropic souls. Self-study Report, Cycle-2, P.
