About Department

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The Department of Physics was established in 2001 with MPC Programme. Eventhough it was started with a part time lecturer Sri. B.Veersanjaneyulu garu, later it was effectively lead by able headship of Sri. Bh. Subrahmanyeswara Rao garu. The department is strengthened by introducing one more programme MPCS in 2005.

In order to realise these, the Department of Physics has been putting forward the best of its efforts with unified contribution from the faculty and the students. The department reputes unique with high profiled faculty with International & National awards. the pride of the department is the research background of the faculty and their memberships in various national and international organisations and also in government bodies.

The department organised a three-day orientation parogramme to NCSC guide teachers in association with Department of School Education, Krishna Dt., & APCOST in 2021. Organised National level competitions on the occasion of National Science Day -2022 with the financial support of "APCOST". International Day for the Preservation of Ozone Layer is also celebrated in Association with "APCOST and IAPT".

As a result of a continuous striving for excellence by the faculty of science departments, Physics Club (PAGE – Physics Club of Avanigadda, GDC Striving for Excellence) was established in 2021 in the college with a goal to achieve sustainable development with a greater pace. Now the department is flourished with 91 members. 25 memberships from other colleges and organisations itself indicates the extent of the PAGE. The club is working on e waste collection once in month in the neighbouring villages along with Avanigadda town. The Department celebrated energy conservation week with outreach programmes with the support of PAGE.
