History of the College

The S.V.L.N.S Government Degree College, Bheemunipatnam, established in 1984, has provided higher education to students in the underprivileged area of Visakhapatnam. Situated on the scenic sea-shore, the college takes pride in its logo, which features the idol of Sri Varaha Lakshmi Nrusimha Swamy, with the profound words 'aachaaryah poorva roopam – antevaasyuttara roopam' derived from the taitteriyopanishad.

In its early years, the college offered two undergraduate programs, namely, B.A (Arts) and B.Com (Commerce). Recognizing the need to foster scientific education, in 2009, the college introduced a new program, B.Sc (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry), opening doors for students inclined towards the field of science. Subsequently, in response to the growing demands of students, another science program, B.Sc (Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry), was launched in 2013.

The commitment to academic excellence and holistic development bore fruit when the college was accredited with a respectable B Grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 2016. This recognition served as a testament to the quality of education and overall progress achieved by the institution.
