Dr Jayapradamba degree college was started to embody the values of knowledge, integrity, discipline and service that Dr Kasaraneni jayapradamba and her famous husband, Dr K Sadasiva Rao upheld throughout their lives. Dr Jayapradamba was a lady with high ideals and humanitarian values. Known simply as ‘Doctoramma garu’, she was both a beacon of hope and a role model for many women in her time.

After her death, her family members and close associates set up a Trust in her name and started the degree college to give opportunity to students to gain qualifications and skills to enable them to be confident and self sufficient. Hailing from a small village Kalavapamula in Krishna District, she was the first woman to have completed a high school education from her village. Her aspirations to become a doctor were supported by her parents and grandmother who were progressive beyond their times.

Only women from rich families were able to go to college those days, let alone do Medical course.
