In June 1966, Baba was at Anantapur, the biggest town of the District and its official capital, 60 miles from Prasanthi Nilayam, at the invitation by the high school for girls. The plight of the girls who had to go to distant places for higher education and also the kind of the education for which they were spending much time and money, affected Him. He resolved upon another step in his task of Dharmasthapana; for women have been the custodians of Dharma since millennia; the cradle is the first school for the children of man. He announced that there would be a women's college in Anantapur soon. He resolved upon making Anantapur the focal point of the Educational Revolution that will consummate the Revival of Sanathana Dharma for the lasting benefit of the human family.

The Women's College was inaugurated on 22nd July 1968. Very few colleges are inaugurated under such distinguished auspices or with the promise of such triumphant careers for the alumni. Few have on the opening day itself such an imposing array of equipment, furniture and books and above all, a band of teachers with enthusiasm and academic efficiency.
