G.Pulla Reddy Engineering College (Autonomous), the pride of Kurnool town is the brainchild of late Sri G. Pulla Reddy (10-01-1921 to 09-05-2007), the renowned philanthropist and humanist. His love for education and care for his native district manifested themselves in the form of this college. Though started after the capitation fee era, the college had no teething troubles. Under Sri. With G.Pulla Reddy’s pragmatic guidance the college has made steady progress and has become a premier institute of technical education. Though the college is second to none in physical infrastructure and human resources, it is primarily known for its discipline and value system.

Sri G.Pulla Reddy belonged to the school of thought and practice that believes that “virtue is its own reward” and this ideal formed the basis for all activities on the campus. His uncompromising insistence on quality in education made GPREC the benchmark for technical education. Though Sri. G.Pulla Reddy subsequently established several educational institutions of repute, GPREC has remained his “first love” and is the flagship organization of all of them.
