About Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University

The name Nagarjuna University is quite significant as the great Buddhist preceptor and philosopher Acharya Nagarjuna founded a university on the banks of the River Krishna centuries ago and made it a renowned centre of learning, attracting teachers and students from distant parts of the world. The University was established by Act 43 of 1976 of the A.P. State Legislature and is governed by Act 4 of 1991, which covers six universities of the State. The present Acharya Nagarjuna University is located not far from the historic site and derives its moral and intellectual inspiration from Acharya Nagarjuna. In this context, the university was renamed Acharya Nagarjuna University through the A.P. Universities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2004. The aspirations of the southern coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh to pursue postgraduate education closer to home led to the establishment of Acharya Nagarjuna University. In 1976, Andhra University started a Postgraduate Centre in Nallapadu, Guntur District, as an extension centre to serve the educational needs of the region. It was a natural progression for this centre to grow into a full-fledged university, and thus Nagarjuna University came into existence in August 1976. 1663
