A.G. & S.G. Siddhartha Arts & Science Degree College, Vuyyuru was established in 1975 by the Adusumilli Gopalakrishnaiah Technological Association on the request of many farmers of the area growing sugarcane with the support of local philanthropists and sugarcane growers of the area. Subsequently, "Velagapudi Ramakrishna and Sugarcane Growers Educational and Welfare Society” was formed to obtain financial support to the institution. The KCP Management which was looking after the institution found it difficult to support it any longer because their attention was confined to industries and hence they approached Siddhartha Academy of General & Technical Education, Vijayawada, a well known Society that started and has been running more than a dozen educational institutions eversince the year 1975 to take over the Degree and Junior Colleges into their fold through a process of amalgamation of their Society with Siddhartha Academy. Accordingly, the institution has come to be managed by Siddhartha Academy with effect from May 2001. The college is located in an independent campus of more than 13 acres in the centre of the town in ideal surroundings.
