The civil district of Guntur was created in 1904. On 13th February 1940 the Holy See (pope in Rome) erected the indigenous Diocese of Guntur co-extensive with the then civil District of Guntur. The diocese of Guntur registered the society as “The Diocese of Guntur society” under certificate of Registrations of Societies Act 1860 (Act No. XXI of 1860) on twenty eight day of October one thousand nine hundred and forty. The Diocese of Guntur is unique in its importance in the whole of Andhra for its century’s Old Catholic Christians, for the numerous Priestly and Religious Vocations, for the generosity and enterprising nature of the people etc.
Vision
Globalization is a phenomenon growing all over the world, making its power felt also in India in all spheres of life. Globalization has entered the education field, consequently the greatest threat being faced by Higher Education in India today is what may be described as the “marketisation of education”. The immediate consequences of the process of marketisation of education in India are the exclusion of the poor, the promotion of a culture of consumerism and neglect of humanities and social services. Government support to Higher Education is declining and private investment is on the increase with sole motive being profit rather than service or social relevance. Keeping in mind the present day need and growth in the field of Higher Education the Diocese of Guntur Society has started MBA, MCA Post graduate Colleges along with Engineering and B.Pharmacy professional colleges respectively. The intention and vision of the society to take up the cause of higher education especially in the field of professional courses is to equip the students with necessary skills, knowledge and leadership qualities. Thus education envisaged by the society not only aims at the academic excellence but also at awakening in the minds of the young people a sense of commitment to the society and willingness to share with it, benefits of the education they have received. In other words formation of a person is as important as academic excellence.
