In the year 1975, away from the
ceaseless bustle of the trading yards, the incessant
passage of trains through this junction to every part of
the country and the majestic gush of the Krishna waters
through the spillways of the Prakasam barrage, some of
the best minds were in conclave in Vijayawada. Each of
them represented an acme of achievement in his chosen
field, as diverse as, medicine, engineering, accounting,
jurisprudence, industry and business. |

They were all the sons of the soil. It was
not just the origins and the professional excellence, that was
common to them. Each of them experienced the travails and
hardships of traveling great distances and strange lands in
pursuit of his education. They were in conclave to chart the
course of action for providing the educational awareness of
the highest standards at Vijayawada itself to meet the needs
of the region, devoid of a single post-graduate or
professional institution at that time. And thus was born the
‘Academy of General and Technical Education’, later renamed as
‘Siddhartha
Academy of General and Technical Education’, on the
suggestion of Sri Avula Sambasiva Rao, the former Chief
Justice of High Court of Andhra Pradesh. The Academy in
fulfilment of its mission, started the following institutions
