Rama Kumari Devi, the Rani Saheba of Jeypore, Orissa was kind enough to give her summer resort palace on the Beach Road, popularly known as “Hawa Mahal” for the college on a nominal rent. Eminent educationalists and the philanthropic public who rendered their services to the college include Smt.D.Saraswathi Devi, Justice Smt.Jagan Mohini, Sri.Kancharla Rama Chandra Rao and Sri Unnava Rama Rao etc. The college provided education at affordable cost from Intermediate level to under graduation in Arts and Commerce to the poor and middle class girls. It was only through the untiring efforts of the founder president, Sri.S.Surya Rao, the college was admitted into grant in aid as early as 1978. In 1975 the college consisted of both Intermediate and Degree students and offered only commerce and Arts courses in English and Telugu media. The college was admitted into grant in aid in 1978.
