The A. V. Education Society is one of the oldest and pioneering educational societies in the erstwhile Nizams State of Hyderabad. This society was established in the year 1944 (Reg.No.7/52) with an objective to extend educational opportunities to backward sections of the region, which were deprived of basic education during the rule of the Nizam. Stalwarts and philanthropists like Sri Raja Bahadur Venkatrama Reddy Sri Suravaram Pratap Reddy, Sri Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy (Former Deputy Chief Minister), Sri Madapati Hanumantha Rao and Sri J.V. Narsing Rao (Former Deputy Chief Minister) who took part in the Freedom Struggle, Womens Education Movement, Library Movement and Press Movement were instrumental in founding this great educational society. It was the dream of the founding fathers to start educational institutions that would impart education in the mother tongue i.e., education in Telugu became a reality with the establishment of Andhra Vidyalaya High School, the first Telugu medium school in the erstwhile Nizams Dominion.
