Civic Engagement

As the current President of the Osmania Graduates’ Association (OGA), Prof. Tirumala Vangipuram Gopala Chary leads an organization that has played a pivotal role in the educational, social, and economic upliftment of Telangana for over nine decades. Founded in 1932 by visionary graduates of Osmania University during a period of socio-political unrest under Nizam’s rule, OGA has grown into a dynamic force for educational development in the region. In collaboration with its sister organization, the Exhibition Society, OGA has established an extensive network of institutions—including high schools, postgraduate colleges, polytechnics, ITIs, and an engineering college—currently serving over 30,000 students. Flagship institutions such as Sarojini Naidu Vanita Maha Vidyalaya, Kasturba Gandhi College, Sardar Patel College, and Lal Bahadur College stand as enduring symbols of OGA’s commitment to inclusive, accessible, and quality education.

Prof. Chary’s leadership is driven by a deep belief in education as the foundation for sustainable social change. He is especially committed to continuing OGA’s legacy of innovation—from initiating IAS coaching in the 1950s to establishing teacher education and vocational training centers in rural Telangana. As President, he prioritizes women’s education, rural outreach, and institutional excellence. For Prof. Chary, leading OGA is both a privilege and a profound responsibility—to preserve its values, broaden its impact, and ensure its continued service to future generations.
