Founding of RGUKT
The idea to create RGUKT germinated in April 2007, at a meeting between Prof. D.Raj Reddy and Prof. K.C. Reddy who then took the idea to the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Dr. Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy. Dr. YSR by then was not happy with the opportunities available to the rural youth and wanted to start a University modeled on IIIT to exclusively concentrate on rural youth in imparting technology-oriented higher education for bettering their employment potential. A Task Force was created under the Chairmanship of Prof. K.C. Reddy, the then chairman of APSCHE which recommended establishing a technological University to benefit rural youth.
In March of 2008, the AP Government created RGUKT with three campuses through an Act of the Legislature as a full-fledged university which would initially admit approximately the top 1% of the rural students into the three residential campuses located at RK Valley, Basara, and Nuzvid. The first batch of about 6,500 tenth class graduates was admitted into the six-year integrated B.Tech program in August of 2008. The initial selection was based on the 'Mandal Best' model wherein students securing the top marks in the SSC examination in every Mandal were selected. Prof. Raj Reddy as the founding Chancellor of the University for a decade guided the educational philosophy of the University and also molded the academic journey to maintain not only its uniqueness but create a significant impact on the quality of outcome and the student employment profile that later transformed their lives.
