About Karvetinagaram

Karvetinagaram is a village and a Mandal headquarter in Chittoor district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in

India. It is a place with some historical prominence. It is, for years, a socially and economically backward

area.

The nearest railway station is Puttur (11 kilometres (6.8 mi) distant) in Andhra Pradesh. Some express trains

stop here. Frequent buses run from Puttur to Chittoor via Karvetinagar or from Pallipattu (8 kilometres

(5.0 mi)) in Tamil Nadu. The nearest international airport is at Chennai (115 km), and Renigunta (Tirupati)

(45 km) away.

History of Karvetinagaram

Karvetinagaram was a former zamindar, most prominent during the Vijayanagara Empire. The Bommaraju

family trace their origins back to an ancestor who migrated from the Pithapuram area of the Godavari

Delta in the 8th or 9th century. One ancestor obtained the favor of the Eastern Chalukya king Vimala

Aditya, and Saluva Narasa was appointed the chief of the country around Tirupati, where he founded his

capital called Narayanavanam.

The rulers later built their new capital, Nagaram, here by clearing the forest. Narasa was granted

permission by his patron to use the royal seal and boar-signet of the Chalukyas, a proud distinction still

kept up.

At one point Saluva Venkatapati was deposed by the Cholas, but Saluva Bhima recovered their territory.

Saluva Narsimha assisted a Keralan king named Kirti Varman and assumed independence, ruling for 36

years. Saluva Bhujanga was defeated and became a feudal of Western Chalukya king Someswara and was

taken prisoner to Kalyan, where he died. Subsequent descendants recovered the estate, and in 1230 AD a

part of the estate was taken over by Raja Raja Chola the second, of the Chola dynasty.

During the next four generations, as the power of the Cholas declined, the fortunes of the Karvetinagar

family rose, the family became feudatories of Vijayanagar, and had marriage alliances with the Saluva and

loyalties to the Aravidu dynasty over the next two hundred years. Around the 16th century the family

changed their name to the current Bommaraju, retaining Saluva as a title.

After Bommaraju, prominent among their dynasty are Raja Kumara Venkataperumal Raja Shadur, last ruler

of the erstwhile zamindar of Karvetinagar in 1940. After his death his brother Raja Kumara Kumaraswamy

Raja was confirmed with the rajah title and became the First M.L.A of Puttur. He donated Lashmi Mahal

Palace for use as a Government High School, at present a junior college and degree college located in the

same palace premises. He died without issue in 1952.

After his death his co-brother Raja Kumara Srinivasa Varma Son Raja Kumara Venkataperumal Raju, alias

Raja Kumara Janardhana Varma, was confirmed raja by the then presidency of the Madras Government. As

a holder of the rajah title he was honoured by the temple's management of constructed karvetinagar

rajahas, like Tiruttani and Narayanavanam, Appalaya gunta temples etc. during his lifetime.

He died in the 2008. He has two sons, Raja Kumara Bramha Raja Varma (alias Srikanth Varma) and Raja

Kumara Harsha Vardhana Varma, at present residing at Karvetinagaram.

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

As per National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) guidelines every accredited institution

should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance

measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC becomes a part of the institution's

system and works towards realization of the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance.

The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in

the overall performance of institutions.

placement and arranging job drives periodically for providing job opportunity at their doorstep.
