Gayatri Vidya Parishad, a premier
Registered Educational Society in the east
coast of India, started its activities from
28.9.1988. This Trust is managed by eminent
educationists, philanthropists, and
technocrats. One of the major aims of the
Trust is “To promote, establish, maintain
and assist in maintaining educational and
other institutions with a view to impart
education in all branches in general and
advanced technology, management, education,
and science in particular, and thus to
facilitate securing gainful employment to
the youth of the country”.
Towards the fulfillment of this aim the
Gayatri Vidya Parishad started a Degree
College in 1989 with a number of
restructured courses in Computer Science
Electronics, and Management. In 1992, the
Parishad has also started a Junior College
and introduced Vocational Courses in
Computers and Automobile Engineering. In
1993, the Parishad started offering
instruction in Post-Graduate course M.B.A.
and in 1994 M.C.A. is also added. A step
further towards developing Technical
Education, the Parishad started an
Engineering College in 1996 with four
branches, and now it has seven branches. In
2008, the Parishad has recently started a
separate Engineering College for Women with
four branches.
The Parishad is organizing all the
activities as self-financing institutes. A
Clause under Funds from the Constitutions of
the Parishad reads as follows: “The funds of
the Institute shall be spent only for the
attainment of the objectives of the
Institute and no portion thereof shall be
paid, transferred or diverted directly or
indirectly to any of its members in any
manner whatsoever……”. All the assets of
these institutions belong to a trust namely
“Gayatri Vidya Parishad”. The Parishad wants
to serve the community and join with similar
institutions. A Clause from the Objectives
of the Parishad states as follows: “To
organise and maintain contacts, to secure
affiliation, and to collaborate on a
reciprocal basis with similar institutions
in India and other countries”.
In view of its good track
record the college has been selected by the
government of Andhra Pradesh to be the
implementing agency for setting up the

institute for advanced training supported by
the Governmnet of Andhra Pradesh and German
