The Government of  Andhra  Pradesh,  in  the late seventies, realizing  the popular  demand for  enhancement of facilities  for engineering education, adopted a far reaching and progressive policy of encouraging philanthropic organizations to establish and manage  technical institutions without straining  the already meager financial resources of the state. As a consequence  of such a policy decision, Kakatiya  Institute of Technology and Science, popularly known  as KITS, was established at Warangal in  the academic year 1980-81. The institute over a period of  two  decades and more,  had substantially improved its infrastructural facilities, attracted academicians of proven competence onto its faculty placed its products in reputed organizations all over India and all over the World and gained recognition amongst academic circles.
