Raja Bahadur Venkata Rama Reddy Women’s College was established in 1954 by Hyderabad Mahila Vidhya Sangham (HMVS) — a non-profit educational society with a vision to empower women through quality education. The College is the second oldest women’s college in the city of Hyderabad. The College owes its existence to the foresight of Sri.

His vision was translated to reality by the untiring efforts of Sri Burgula Ramakrishna Rao, the first Chief Minister of erstwhile Hyderabad State, Shri Madapati Hanumantha Rao, former Mayor of Hyderabad and Chairman of the Legislative Council A.P, and Shri K.V. Ranga Reddy, former Deputy Chief Minister of A.P, who were the pioneers in propagating women education in the State.
