The reason of visit of Dr.Kotcherlakota Lakshmi Narayana to this college has been, of course, prompted by the fact that Late Prof. Dr.Kotcherlakota Rangadhama Rao D.Sc. (Madras) D.Sc. (London) was a student, at collegiate level 1916-1919 and as well, was a most successful research scientist of this Maharaja College. Professor Dr.K.R.Rao. D.Sc. (Madras) D.Sc. (London) was a self made man(worked as demonstrator at Viziyanagarm and also in Srikakulum colleges) and has borrowed partly money to gather the optical and other Physics gadgets to complete his research work in this College the near-most city college, to Visakhapatnam Town, recognized by Madras University as research laboratory for award of its Doctoral Degrees. At the collegiate level itself Prof.K.R.Rao has earned the praises of the teachers for his uncanny abilities to set up the experiments in Physics and especially for optical investigations, probably well planned to help his ambitious research study after the acquisition of B.A (Hons) and the Post Graduate M.A degree in Physics. He got his BA degree from Mrs. A.V.N.College Visakhapatnam and his MA degree in Physics from Tiruchinopoly, Tamil Nadu. Later as planned he successfully did research work at the Maharaja College.
