It is located in the heart of Guntur City.

Excellent resource persons are available in Guntur, which is an education hub in Andhra Pradesh having good number of Universities, Medical, Engineering, Agricultural, Law and Degree colleges.

There is an immense need to protect this historical monument, the “Desha Bhakta Bhavan” which is having 100 years of history and located in the Heart of Guntur City providing a walking distance for any need of the trainees who stay here and having good connectivity to bus/train/flight. The present market value of the building is more than Rs.10 crores. It can be developed to meet all the present day requirements of the 21st century e-classroom as it has enough space for the construction of a multi – storied building. Hence I humbly request you to protect this memory of our history by developing this building by sanctioning state of the art equipment and taking up the construction of an additional building to meet the needs of present day teachers. It serves as a great gesture of combining the tradition with modernity.
