S.CH.V.P.M.R. Govt. Degree College, Ganapavaram is committed to realize its vision proclaimed in the vision document (available in the college website gdcganapavaram.ac.in ). The institution is highly devoted to the cause of empowering rural students, especially girls. It is the only public-funded higher education center with UG programs within a radius of 25 kilometers. The institution is in the rural area and is surrounded by a host of traditionally agriculture and aqua-dominated villages. Most of the students are first generation learners to obtain graduation. It’s obvious that they are unable to overcome certain socio-economic and geographic conditions and pursue their dreams. Yet, it is the distinctive achievement of the college that the number of girls in the college has been on the rise for the past couple of years. Out of 398 students in the college in the 21-22 academic year, 237 are girls. This is about 60%. In the last five academic years nearly 41 girls were admitted to PG and B.Ed., and 27 were hired into Jobs, a distinctiveness that highlights the student centered teaching-learning quality of the college and the collaborative efforts of the stakeholders to achieve the vision of the college.

These statistics not only reflect the quality of education provided but also underlines the trust of the parents to send their daughters to an institution that holds discipline on priority which ensures safety and security. About 90% of the students hail from families that have a low economic background. The parents or guardians have small-scale agriculture as primary occupation or are involved as daily wages labor in various aquaculture-based activities. This forces the students to drop out and help their families’ financial status. Also most of the girl students are married amidst their course duration which distracts them from studies. Therefore, the students need to be motivated continuously in goal setting and goal realization to overcome their natural fear which poses to be the root cause of their poor participation in higher levels. The college addresses this issue by organizing a number of programs related to career guidance and personality counseling that help the students come out of their fear.
The college organizes a number of cultural, academic and sports programmes regularly and throughout the academic year. The academic programs of the institution are formed to enhance the knowledge base of the students. The college has also organized many awareness programs such as Poshan Maha, AIDs day, NSS day, Voters day etc. Also the institution celebrates all national and international days of importance. These programs have been successful in developing the personalities of the students. JAWAHAR KNOWLEDGE CENTRE (JKC) has been playing a key role in training and arranging JOB drives for the placement of final year degree students. Various Campus Interviews in Collaboration with HETERO DRUGS, V.R Enterprises, TADA, NMR Group, Guntur, ZEAL, Chennai, ALCANCE BPO, Chennai, INFOSYS, TCS, Hinduja Global Solutions(HGS), KIA MOTORS, POLARIS, RSMIP, FLIPKART, INDIGO AirLines, WIPRO, SWIGGY, APOLLO PHARMA, BHARATH FIH, ICICI, COGENT were conducted in the last five years.
Career Guidance Cell in association with JKC is making all its efforts to develop competitive spirit and social responsibilities among students. In the past five years as many as 9 MoUs at institutional level and 24 MoUs at department level have been initiated for the benefit of the students. Apart from these, the Mentor Mentee System (MMS) is institutionalized in the college. The allotted mentors (staff members) are available 24x7 to the students for academic and emotional support. Further, they take an active role in promoting the students for higher education by counseling the students and their parents where necessary.
The college also provides a platform for financial incentives to the students who excel in academics. Rudra Raju Foundation, Ganapavaram took the initiative to reward the outstanding students with weak financial backgrounds. In association with AP State Skill Development Corporation, the college has conducted job-oriented online courses for the benefit of students. Students are always encouraged to participate in various extension programs and community oriented programs under NSS, Red Ribbon Club etc. The students of our college have been involved in Blood Donation Camps, awareness programs on various social issues. These activities laid a great variation in modulating their personality and perception towards the society. Individual departments and various clubs have helped students gain various interpersonal skills. The college has organized a number of activities throughout the year in line with the Vision and Mission statement of the college. In particular, the college focuses on making a difference in the lives of the girl students who can chase their dreams with great confidence.
