Institute of Technology and Management, popularly known as GITAM, was founded
in 1980 by an inspired group of eminent intellectuals and industrialists of
Andhra Pradesh led by Dr. M. V. V. S. Murthi, former Member of Parliament and
popular philanthropist.
The vision of
MAHATMA, the Father of the Nation was to see India as a socially and
economically resurgent country and he looked upon education as an important
means to achieve this goal. Gandhiji’s view of education was not narrow or
sectarian. He envisaged universities as institutions of higher learning that
transcend all linguistic, racial and other barriers. GITAM is committed to
imbibe his values and abide by his philosophy.
