Nagarjuna Education Society and Rayapati Venkata Ranga Rao College of Education
Before 1967, there were only three colleges in Guntur town to serve the need of higher education in Guntur district. Realising the need of education, students were coming in large number from rural areas to pursue the collegiate education in Guntur town. The three colleges that were existing in those days used to have a good demand and they could not provide opportunity for many students. Under these circumstances the philanthropists of Guntur town met on several occasions to discuss the problem. One such meeting was held on November7, 1967 on the premises of Kamma hostel, sponsored by the Kamma Vidyardhi Sahaya Sangham. Decision was taken to start an Education Society and to name it after the Saint Nagarjuna.
That is how the Nagarjuna Education Society came into existence. Many prominent citizens from all sections of the society were present at the meeting.
Some of the prominent persons are.
In this process, another meeting was held in the month of February, 1967 in Hari Hara Mahal Theatre and took a decision to start an Arts and Science College in the name of great philanthropic gaint Late Sri Jagarlamudi Kuppuswamy Chowdary. The bye-laws of the Society were drafted with a non-profit making policy with a mission to encourage higher education among the rural community. Late Sri Nannapaneni Veeraiah Chowdari took the responsibility of drafting the constitution of N.E.S. An adhoc executive was formed for the first five years.

The college was granted permission by the state Government on 6'th October, 1983, but college started functioning from January, 1984.
The original thinking was to have its own building at Perecharla in an area of 9 acres, where we have a Telugu Medium High school with state syllabus. Later the idea was changed because of distant location and for the benefit of the staff, students, parents and then requested the management of S.P.S High school to start the college on campus of the school. They were kind enough in giving their consent to locate the B .Ed college from 1984 to 1988. Due to the increase of the student's strength of S.P.S high school, they were forced to ask our management to find an alternative place for B.Ed college.
Then a decision was taken to have a separate campus on the south-west corner side of J.K.C college play ground. The foundation stone was laid by Sri Jagarlamudi Chandramouli garu. Then onwards, the college has been growing strength to strength both physically and academically, with excellent academic result and good disciplines under supervision of secretaries and correspondents, namely
