ABOUT VSU
Vikrama Simhapuri University came into being fulfilling the long cherished dream of the people of the Nellore district, re-christened Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore district since 2008 by act no. 29 of 2008 enacted by the legislature of state of Andhra Pradesh and published in Andhra Pradesh gazette on 24th sept 2008.
The name Vikrama Simhapuri derives itself from literature and inscription of 12th century A.D. which mentions the places Vikrama Simhapuri. This name is linked to an early pallava ruler simha Vishnu (575-600 A.D.) though the inscriptions either of simha Vishnu or of the latter period did not refer to simhapuri inspite of the fact that Nellore remained a part of the early pallava territory of pre and post simha Vishnu period.
