Visvodaya Government Degree College was established on 16" August 1968 under Private Management as an Aided College, with the initiative taken by Sri M. Narasimha Rao, a Philanthropist and an active member of Visvodaya Educational Trust. At that time the students of this area had to rush to long distances like Chennai and Tirupati to pursue their higher education. The poor people could not afford to send their wards to distant places. Pitying the lack of facilities for higher education among poor people, the trust established Visvodaya Govt. Degree College in Venkatagiri, to provide higher education to these rural and remote area students. Sri. Y.V.Chalapathi Rao was the first principal of the college. The college was taken over by the Government of Andhra Pradesh on 26th November 1977. Ever since its establishment it has been imparting value based quality education to thousands of poor and needy students.
At the inception of the college all traditional courses in P.U.C and Degree were simultaneously introduced. Thus the dreams of rural public for higher education of their children became a reality. The Govt. of Andhra Pradesh bi- furcated the composite college and the Intermediate courses were repatriated and retained in the same campus as Govt. Jr. College since 2002. After the bifurcation, the lecturers are able to devote their time fully in imparting quality education to the students of B.A., B.Com., and B.Sc.
