Students Visit Historical Site to Learn About Kakatiya Empire
Faculty and students from Government Degree & PG College (Arts and Commerce) in Nagarkurnool recently went on a historical field trip to Nandi Vaddeman (Vardhamanapuram). The college is located on Sripuram Road, and the visit aimed to teach students about the region’s rich history.
During the trip, students learned about the history of the Kakatiya Empire and the significance of Vardhamanapuram. The area has several ancient temples, some dating back to the Kakatiya period. The name “Nandi Vaddeman” is believed to come from the presence of Nandi, the sacred vehicle of Lord Shiva. One of the most famous temples in the area is the Shani temple.
After learning about the historical background, the students visited the Shani temple, where they offered prayers and explored the temple premises. This visit helped them understand more about history, culture, and traditions.
College Principal Y. Krishnaiah explained that field trips like this not only increase students’ knowledge of history but also contribute to their spiritual growth.
The trip was attended by Vice Principal Dr. Dharma and faculty members Satish, Dr. Ravinder, Dr. Chandrasekhar, Sudhakar, Naresh, and Dr. Rathlavath Krishna. The students actively participated in the visit and found it both educational and enjoyable.
