Architect of SPW, she launched Home Science course
Recognition for K. Rajeswari Murthy, the architect of Sri Padmavathi Women’s College (SPW) in Tirupati and who championed the cause of women’s education, remains a far cry till date.
Dr. Murthy’s accomplishment as the founder principal of the college that stands today as a symbol of women’s empowerment is significant.
Dr. Murthy, who completes 100 years on December 10 this year and now settled in New York, was born in 1921 at Peddapuram and pursued education despite several odds. She had taken over the reins of SPW College as its founder principal in 1954 after it was established by the TTD management in 1952.
