DEPARTMENT OF Telugu
With the initiative of the then Hon'ble Chief Minister, Sri Burugula Rama Krishna Rao and under the auspices of Nagarjuna Educational Committee headed by the then Collector of Nalgonda, this college, under the name of an omniscient Acharya Nagarjuna, Nagarjuna Govt. College came into being in 1956. The history of the department of Telugu begins with the same year. Since then the department has been playing its spontaneous role in the onward march of the institution.
With the main thrust on Telugu literature, the B.A., course along with other optional subjects i.e.' Eco.. and Pol.Sc. was introduced in 1958.Since then its un interrupted continuance as an optional subject for over a half century, deserves a special mention. This course is considered as essential qualification for teachers teaching Telugu in schools in A.P.
Great masters like Dr. Dhoolipala Sree Rama murty, Prof.Sampath kumaracharya and Prof. M.Veerabhadraiah worked in this department in the previous decades. They were men of intrinsic worth gifted with creative imagination. They held the prestige of the dept aloft and earned a state level recognition for the department. They ennobled many a lives out of clay with an ease peculiar only to them. The legacy continues even today.
The DOT and its members Sri Shivaramasharma, Dr.S Narayana Reddy, Sri A.Pradeep Reddy, and Sri B.Ramaseshaiah worked collectively and moved earth and heaven to bring M.A.,(Telugu) Post Graduate course to the college, in the academic year 2005-2006. Their efforts bore fruit and a number of students, who were literature-lovers, opted it. The P.G. course has been continuing since then, attracting students of this region. Students of Telugu bagged the O.U. Gold Medal and one second Rank during these years. Scores of students passed UGC NET/JRF, SLET and took up research activity.
The N.G. College turned autonomous in 2007-2008, after achieving the NAAC B++ grade. The DOT rose to the occasion and introduced new modules of Learning in the Telugu Subject, to further the interest of students in their mother tongue.
They are many among the alumni of this college from the department, who emerged as successful literary celebrities as scholars, writers, critics and teachers in A.P. Telugu as second language and as literature (optional) taught here enabled some to choose it as one of the main subjects in competitive examinations, contributed to their glorious success and later to claim prestigious administrative positions at the national level.
