The University is sincerely attempting to emerge as one of the premier academic institutions in the country. The observations of the Rationalization Committee that visited our University under the Chairmanship of Prof. Ananda Krishnan, recently have been very positive and they assured us a very fair deal for Kakatiya University.
On academic front, the impression of all academicians and intellectuals who visited our University on different assignments has been excellent and the number and quality of the seminars, symposia, workshops and refresher courses conducted by all the departments vouchsafe the same. We will further strengthen our academic programs, teaching learning process, attendance in the class rooms, facilities in the laboratories in future.
The Kakatiya University does not mean that the campus colleges and the colleges in Warangal, but all of its colleges in four districts of its jurisdiction. We shall focus our attention for the all-round development of all the colleges and the students of theses colleges are provided with the same amenities and academic environment.
The academic soundness of an educational institution is reflected in a well-equipped library. We have been over the years strengthening the library by purchasing textbooks, reference books and subscribing national and international journals in all disciplines. In 2004, we made e-journals available to our students, scholars and teachers. Further, we have initiated action to develop campus networking. There are plans to extend the facility to all colleges in Warangal and we have already provided dial-up network facility to all colleges outside Warangal. The University Library caters to the needs of 350 teachers, 650 research scholars and 1803 students with a collection of over 1.18 lakh books, 255 Indian and foreign journals, 25400 back volumes and 2000 theses/dissertations. The library works for 12 hours from 8.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. Apart from this, the readers from Khammam, Karimnagar, Warangal and Adilabad Districts also use KU Library as a reference library.
The Directorate of Students Welfare Centre (SWC) has undertaken student welfare activities aimed at developing overall personality of students. SWC could train some of our students to bag state and national awards. The Directorate brings out a newsletter entitled 'MAS'.
The Placement Cell is helping students in procuring several jobs in leading companies and organisations. It has organized industrial visits and campus interviews inviting well-known institutions of Insurance, IT, Banking, Communications, Women Service Societies, NGOs, Pharmaceutical Industry, Public sectors in Mining and Engineering, etc. ATM facility is provided by State Bank of Hyderabad, KU Branch for the benefit of all.

More than 33,000 students pursuing their studies in various educational institutions have enrolled themselves as volunteers in NSS. The awareness programmes organized by the NSS Volunteers has brought awareness about the Environment, Sanitation, Afforestation, General and Community health among the Rural folk of Northern Telangana districts.
The Kakatiya University is located in the historical town of Warangal was the erstwhile seat of the Kakatiya rulers and is an important town in north Telengana Region. The University has completed 29 years of its existence and is now marching towards academic excellence under the dynamic leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. V Gopal Reddy.
The University also promotes individual and collective research by the faculty and the scholars. The students of the University have the distinction of becoming active part of the HR of the corporate world. The University is committed to meet the augmented demand in the expansion of specialized courses form time to time, and is striving hard to provide appreciable scholastic activities to the increased number of students.
Since its establishment in 1976 several steps were taken for the overall development of the infrastructure facilities in order to cater to the requirements of faculty, staff, students and research scholars. The vast area of 650 acres of land is being used effectively and efficiently for the developmental activities from the available sources and funds from the UGC, State Government and other sources. The various departments on the campus are well accommodated in different buildings of their own with lawns. They have well-ventilated classrooms with audio-video facilities, seminar halls, computer labs, and faculty rooms. The laboratories in the science departments are equipped with the state of the art equipment to facilitate advanced research.
The faculties of all the departments, with 248 teaching staff and 622 non-teaching staff, are committed to excellence in respective subjects. They have excelled in imparting quality education and also represented their respective departments in many National and International Seminars and brought laurels to the University for their excellent research.
In spite of its vast development academically, it has been the long cherished dream of the University to have a centralized AUDITORIUM of its own on the campus that could accommodate about 1200 persons.
‘Inter-University National Youth Festival’ sponsored by Association of Indian Universities was hosted successfully by the University in February 2003.
The departments of the University and other offices like, Placement Cell, Kakatiya Adhyayana Kendram, Students Welfare Center, Women’s Study Center and Minority Center are actively organizing regular Seminars, Symposia, Interactions and other Programs that are of Local, State and National level and a need for a centralized auditorium is strongly felt.
A well-planned auditorium has been designed and developed by the University Engineers. The estimations of the same are standing at Rs. 2.91 crores. As the university has a limited budget of its own that can hardly cater to the academic needs, we are approaching state and central governments through MLA and MPs for the construction of a full-pledged Auditorium on the University Campus

Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the building programme of the University by Late Smt Indira Gandhi, the then Hon'ble Prime Minister of India on June 23, 1966.
The University was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on November 7th 1996 in honour and memory of an outstanding Parliamentarian Acharya N.G. Ranga, who rendered remarkable selfless service for the cause of farmers and is regarded as an outstanding educationist, kisan leader and freedom fighter.
The importance of the application of Science and Technology for Agricultural development was realized as early as in the beginning of this century. Among the several commissions appointed for suggesting steps to streamline agriculture development, the Royal Commission (1926) emphasized the need for a strong research base for agricultural development. Subsequently, the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Commission (1949) on University Educationled to the establishment of Rural Universities for the overall development of agriculture and rural life in the country. Later, the Government of India constituted the First Joint Indo-American Team (1955) that studied the status and future needs of agricultural education in the country. The report of this.
commission laid the foundation for all the subsequent developments with regard to agricultural education in India. However, for want of specific recommendations, the Government of India appointed the Second Joint Indo-American Team (1960) headed by Dr. M. S. Randhawa, the then Vice-President of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The team submitted its report in 1960, which recommended specifically the establishment of Farm Universities and spelt out the basic objectives of these Universities as.
Institutional Autonomy
Inclusion of Agriculture
Veterinary/ Animal Husbandry and Home Science
Integration of Teaching, Research and Extension
Later, the report of the Second National Education Commission (1964-66), headed by Dr. D.S. Kothari, Chairman of the University Grants Commission stressed the need for establishing at least one Agricultural University in each Indian State. As a result, the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established on June 12, 1964 at Hyderabad. Shri. O. Pulla Reddi, I.C.S. (Retired) was the first Vice-Chancellor of the University.
In accordance with provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University Act, 1963, some of the Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Science were transferred from the Universities to which they had been affiliated to the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University during June, 1964. These are: Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Science, Hyderabad (established in 1961, affiliated to Osmania University), Agricultural College, Bapatala (established in 1945, affiliated to Andhra University), Sri Venkateswara Agricultural College, Tirupati (established in 1961, affiliated to Sri Venkateswara University) and Andhra Veterinary College, Tiruapti (established in 1961, also affiliated to Sri Venkateswara University). In addition, 41 Agricultural Research Stations, functioning under the Department of Agriculture and four Research Stations of the animal Husbandry Department were transferred to the University in July, 1966 and May, 1967, respectively.
The University was formally inaugurated on March 20, 1965 by late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon'ble Prime Minister of India. Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the University's building programme by Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Hon'ble Prime Minister of India on June 23, 1966.
A life size bronze statue of Acharya N.G. Ranga was unveiled by His Excellency Dr.C.Ranagarajan, the Governor of Andhra Pradesh on 7th November, 1998 at the main campus of the University.

Acharya Nagarjuna, the profounder of the Madhyamika Buddhism is one of the greatest philosophers India has ever produced. The Buddhists of China, Japan and Tibet rever him to be the Second Buddha, who once again set in the motion the wheel of Dharma. He endowed with metaphysical profundity and logical acumen has reaffirmed the basic ideas of Buddhism, apart from providing reinterpretation, clarification and amplification of new concepts of Buddhism. He focused on the fundamental problems of human existence, human aspiration and human actions. He found solutions to them through intuition and reflective thought. He applied and practiced these solutions and his doctrine and experience become a norm to motivate rational and sensitive minds of different generation in different countries with varied cultural environment. Hanayama Shinsho recognizing Nagarjuna's contribution has opined that ‘he may well be called the progenitor of Mahayana thought'.
The Madhyamika-karika testifies to the historicity to their author Nagarjuna, the great Buddhist philosopher, who extolled the path of Prajnaparamita. He wrote the Karika in order to expound the basic teaching of the Prajnaparamita-sutras. The recent archaeological discoveries at Amaravati corroborate to certain extent the broad facts about Nagarjuna's life on which his traditional biographies agree. He was born in a Brahmin family in Andhradesa at Vedali. Based on the Chinese author Tao-an (A.D.568) and Kumarjivas' account and his date for Buddha' nirvana and other material of a Japanese Scholar Hakaju concluded that Nagarjuna lived about 113-213 A.D. The fact being his friendship with a Satavahana King Gautamiputra Satakarni (130-150 A.D.) and his having spent the latter part of his career in the monastery built for him by this king at Bhramaragiri (Sriparvata). The Manjuasrimulakalpa and Tibetan sources contend that Nagarjuna had the Amaravati stupa renovated, enclosed and ornamented with the assistance of this King. Dhanyakataka and Sriparvata were the Centers of his activity. Rajatarangini of 11 th century treats him as a contemporary of Kanishka.
The Vision of the University is to generate and disseminate knowledge through a harmonious blend of ancient and modern wisdom, and to serve the society by developing in students heightened intellectual, cultural, ethical, and humane sensitivities; to foster a scientific temper, and to promote professional and technological expertise. Central to this vision is a commitment to regional and national development in consonance with our culture, heritage, and environment.
