The historic Guntur Medical College is gearing up to celebrate its Platinum Jubilee this year.
Established in 1946 thanks to the efforts of Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu, the GMC is the second oldest college in the State.
Land for the college was donated by Achanta Rukminnamma Lakshmipathi and the foundation stone for the college was laid on December 13, 1953. Then Chief Minister Bejawada Gopala Reddy laid the foundation stone for the administrative block in 1955.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
