The Department of English came into being at the inception of our College in 1962. It started with two members on the faculty.
Mr. M.G. Narasimha Murthy was the first Head of the department, the other member of the department being Mr. V. Chandramouli. With
the increase in student strength, recruitments took place over a period of time and the number of teachers on the faculty increased to eleven.

Changes in the Syllabus and Efforts for Implementation
The Department has been holding aloft the banner of excellence for the past forty-four years. The Department is
fully geared to face the new academic challenges posed with the advent of the modified curriculum.
The Globalization phenomenon has tremendously increased the job potential. But the stress is now on the enhancement of soft skills, communication skills and neutralization of accent, if the job potential is to be fully tapped. The A.P. State Government has risen to the occasion and thoroughly revamped the Degree English Syllabus, in consultation with A.P.S.C.H.E. The new syllabus is named the “Modified Curriculum”
The stress on the traditional syllabus comprising literature and grammar has been reduced by fifty percent and Spoken English and Communication Skills have been given importance, accounting for fifty percent marks in the university examinations.
