JKC College - JKCC Guntur - Guntur (Andhra Pradesh)

The Nagarjuna Education Society was formed in 1967 by some educationanists,philanthropists and elders who realised the need for another college in Guntur,as the existing colleges in the city could not cope with the growing demand for higher education among the people of the city and its neighbourhood. Actuated by a sense of moral responsibility towards the younger generation,the Nagarjuna Education Society decided to start a college named after the celebrated philanthropist and patron of learning Sri Jagarlamudi Kuppuswamy Choudary.The college was inaugurated by the late Buddiraju RamaChandra Rao,M.A.,L.T.,a veteran educationist and the first principal of the Hindu college,Guntur,under the Presidentship of Prof.K.Satchidananda Murthy,M.A.,Ph.D.,Ex-Vice-Chancellor,Sri Venkateswara University,Tirupathi.It is the ardent desire of the Nagarjuna Education Society that this college shall not be a replica of other colleges but establish an individual distinction by kindling the spark of idealism.The inspiring name of Nagarjuna whose Ancient University attracted seekers from different parts of the world and the hallowed memory of the late Jagarlamudi Kuppuswamy Choudary who rendered signal service in the spread of education in the district indicate the direction in which the college desires to progress. At present, the college is having both conventional and self-finance courses. It is a composite college having Intermediate, Degree and PG courses. The College has two libraries: one for Degree students and another for Post Graduate students. All the Laboratories are fully equipped with the latest instruments and guided by well trained faculty. The College should develop into a Mini University with the introduction of more and more courses relevant to the market demand. All the students should spend some of their time for N.C.C., N.S.S, Sports or some special service which would not only be useful to the college but also for the society. The staff members should devote their services extensively to the College. They have to identify themselves with the College. We have to acheive 80 to 90% of pass percentage in all Classes. It should be ranked as a premier institution in India.
