Kshatriya Institutions

Dantuluri Narayana Raju College was established in 1945, before Indian Independence, and was an offshoot of the National movement and renaissance thinking. Being agrarian, the Godavari region had been kept out of the higher academic activities in the pre-Independence period. Sri Dantuluri Narayana Raju, a freedom fighter, an activist and a visionary wanted to provide the uneducated rural masses with the hither to unthinkable and unreachable source for their overall development and welfare i.e. higher education. That visionary, with the help of limited number of committed lieutenants and Philanthropists, strived hard with a missionary zeal and realised the establishment of a college at Bhimavaram, Known as West Godavari Bhimavaram (W.G.B) College in 1945. In 1964 it was re named as Dantuluri Narayana raju (D.N.R) College in memory of its founder. The introduction of post graduate courses in 1971 is a milestone in the history of the college. The infrastructure available in the colldge became an impetus for starting an Engineering College in 1980. In view of the outstanding academic excellence maintained by the college since its inception, the college was conferred autonomy in the year 1987, by the University grants commission. It is a matter of great pride that D.N.R.College has grown from strength to strength, achieved tremendous Progress, and won the laurels of one and all under the most efficient and benign guidance of D.N.R.College Management since its inception.

Gangaraju is a visionary. As an industrialist, Dr. Gangaraju realized that there is no symbiosis between the academic institution and the industry. An amateur technologist is almost at bay when he enters the industry the first time, because what he has learned in the classroom has very little relevance to his responsibilities and functions in the industry. The industry also finds it burdensome to train him to its needs. Often the theoretical knowledge of the young graduate is very high, but he lacks even the minimum practical skills. Dr. Gangaraju knows that a properly trained technologist with a strong practical bias is an asset to the industry and only such an industry can flourish and prosper. It is with this idea that Dr. Gangaraju with the support of an accomplished and experienced team of committed and dedicated professional experts launched our flagship, Gokaraju Rangaraju Educational Society. Its main objective is to promote technological, medical and management educational institutions for the overall benefit of the country in general, and the state in particular. Against this background, Gokaraju Rangaraju Institute of Engineering and Technology was established in 1997 with the required infrastructure and great expectations. The faculty and other resource persons have been chosen with great care since they constitute the very means of successfully realizing the avowed objectives. Shri Gokaraju Gangaraju Garu The year 2003 witnessed the addition of another technical institution, Gokaraju Rangaraju College of Pharmacy, with a view to grooming pharmacy graduates with very sound empirical knowledge and practical skills so that these young graduates can find immediate employment in the industry. Hence the focus now is on the infrastructure facilities in this College so that it may attain internationally acceptable standards. To facilitate this the Laboratories have been provided with equipment better than those recommended by AICTE and PCI. It is envisioned that post-graduate courses and research programmes of highest quality could be made available to our young aspiring students. Plans have been initiated to enhance and expand our educational vision to other faculties as well, and to make this Educational Society a Deemed University. This is the fond dream of our President, a statesman with vision, a pioneer in education and industry, and an astute steward of men and matters.
