The College is the second oldest women’s college in the city of Hyderabad. The College owes its existence to the foresight of Sri. Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy, Kotwal of the erstwhile Hyderabad State, who believed that modern education is the most appropriate vehicle for emancipation and advancement of women. His vision was translated to reality by the untiring efforts of Sri Burgula Ramakrishna Rao, the first Chief Minister of erstwhile Hyderabad State, Shri Madapati Hanumantha Rao, former Mayor of Hyderabad and Chairman of the Legislative Council A.P, and Shri K.V. Ranga Reddy, former Deputy Chief Minister of A.P, who were the pioneers in propagating women education in the State. This legacy of noble service to women education has been continued by successive managements comprising of Judges, Professors and other people of eminence in the field of education. The College had the rare privilege of welcoming Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who laid the foundation stone on 3rd January 1954; Dr. S. Radha Krishnan, former President of India, who inaugurated the College building on 6th January 1955; and Smt. Indira Gandhi, former Prime Minister, who inaugurated the Hostel Building on 28th July 1965. The visit of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India, on 5th August 2005 to address the students on the eve of ‘Golden Jubilee Celebrations’ is yet another landmark in the history of the College. The College is recognized by UGC under 2(f) and 12(b); affiliated to Osmania University; conferred Autonomous status by UGC since 1989; selected by UGC as a ‘College with Potential for Excellence (CPE)’since 2010; accredited with “A” Grade by National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) from 2007 to 2017;and was awarded B++ grade in 2018 in the changed accreditation procedure of NAAC.
