In a technologically growing world theresians should not lag behind in contributing our share towards its progress .One should visualize the future on time , think daringly and turn it into reality through study training ,enterprise and resource in well equipped Department of Physics where in you have the exposure to execute projects. The running strategy is to provide the right mix of skills .It is with vision and foresight the pioneering Principal started the Department of Physics in 1956 under the able leadership of Ms M.V.A. Mangatayaru. She served the department for 37 years. In 1993 Dr.P.Subbalaksmi who joined in 1974 took over the reigns of the department and has successfully run the department for 16 years .During 2003 M.Sc Physics course affiliated to Andhra University was started keeping in view the demand for this discipline having a promising career.

At present Dr.A.Nirmala Jyothsna who joined the department in 1987 is the Head of the department of U.G & P.G. Physics. In 1989 the Department of Electronics has been started. The department in collaboration with MICROLINK Information Technolgies, Vijayawada took initiative to train the students in PCB Designing, Embedded Systems & IOT through which students developed skills to do many live projects. From 2016, the department collaborated with NRSC, ISRO, Hyderabad& trained the students in Geo-tagging & Bhuvan Panchayat& the students have taken up many live projects which are reflected in Bhuvan Geo portal. In January 2019, our college has become the Network institute of outreach program of IIRS, ISRO, Dehradun& the department took incharge of training the students in various online certificate courses offered by ISRO under the coordination of Dr. A. Nirmala Jyothsna, Head of the Department of Physics & Electronics. The department has started Atmospheric Physics Research lab & also GIS lab during 2019 under RUSA 2.0.
The goal of the department is to foster a friendly and stimulating learning environment in which students are motivated to reach high standards, to acquire real insight into Physics & Electronics and to become self-confident, committed and adaptable graduates.
