Civil Service Aspirants Club Story
Academy of Civil Services was originally known as Civil Services Aspirants Club which is the brain child of Shri Mahesh Bhagwat, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Rachakonda, who himself was a Civil Engineering Graduate from University of Pune. Shri Mahesh Bhagwat, IPS was a Chief Guest for an Orientation programme conducted by the college for the fresh batch of engineering students in September 2017. In his address as Chief Guest, he wanted Sreenidhi to establish a Civil Services Aspirants Club in the college for the benefit of students and to get attracted to consider Civil Services as a very good option. This suggestion given by him was immediately accepted by Shri Jawahar Mahi who is a member of the Managing Committee of the College and wanted the college officials to immediately form the club. He himself being a Civil Servant in Indian Revenue Services (IRS) and hence he assured the parents that this club will be established and he would give lectures to the Aspirants. Using his contacts he promised that he will invite other Civil Servants and also invite to teach some subjects as well. Dr.K.T. Mahhe, Chairman of SNIST immediately directed the college authorities to provide a place and other facilities.
