As the students of Geo-Engineering Department, we took the responsibility to celebrate earth day festival in association with our department day, GEOLATRY. We have been celebrating this for the past two years with a new theme every year. Last year, we conducted a rally on 22nd April as a part of Geolatry 2011, commemorating the "Earth Day". This year, we are conducting a conference - YOUNGISH on 21-22 Mar, 2012, commemorating the "World Forestry Day" and "World Water Day". As GIS is young and active discipline and also as this event kindles young minds through interactive sessions, we addressed this event as 'YounGISh'.

The Government of Composite Madras State sanctioned the present Engineering College at Visakhapatnam in 1946 even though the seeds of Technological education were sown when Sugar Technology was started in the year 1933. 

In 1946, initially the College was located at Cocanada, now called as Kakinada. After the separation of Andhra State in 1953, the Department of Engineering with Mechanical, Civil and Electrical Engineering sections was started as a part of Andhra University. In 1960 it was shifted to a 167 acre land now called the North campus of Andhra University.
