History

The institution was founded in 1860 as a school and grew with the support of the public, especially the zamindars of the time. It gained the status of a high school in 1866 with a European headmaster, Mr. E. Winckler, who became the principal in 1878 when it was elevated to the status of a college in the name Hindu College as a second-grade college affiliated to Madras University. [1]

Other principals who succeeded him were Messrs H. H. Anderson, R. S. Sheppard, W. Ramaiah, and P. T. Srinivasa Iyengar. In 1892, Ankitam Venkata Narasimha Rao, a landlord endowed the amount of Rs one lakh, an 11-acre site and a huge building, besides a building grant of ₹15,000 in memory of his wife. The college thus came to be known by her name, i.e., Mrs. A.V.N College

The college was started with a strength of 50 in 1878. In 1938, the institution celebrated its Diamond Jubilee. In 1938–39, the strength of the college was 227 and of the high school was 732.

Administration

Ms. Indrani Jagga Row, vice-chairperson, was appointed as correspondent of the college on 1 December 1993. She made a holy beginning of her activities with the consecration of Lord Shiva in the temple constructed by Shri A. V. N. Jagga Row within the college premises. In 2014, Indrani Jaggarow's son, Sri A.V. Adeep Bhanoji Row, was appointed as correspondent and Indrani Jaggarow took the role of vice chairperson again. The Visakhapatnam district magistrate holds the authority of chairperson according to the will of the founder Sri A. V. Narasinga Row.
