NOBLE COLLEGE, MACHILIPATNAM

NOBLE COLLEGE

Noble College is one of the oldest Institutions in India started by Christian Missionaries. It began as school founded in 1843 by Rev.Robert Turlington Noble, who was sent by Church Missionary Society in England for Education and Evangelistic work.

In 1864 it was raised to the College grade, affiliated to Madras University. It flourished as the Leading College in South India until 1938.

Lindsay Commission (1938) suggested that Noble College, Machilipatnam and Andhra Christian College, Guntur should be merged and a united College be started at Vijayawada. Accordingly, Noble College was closed in 1938, but the proposed College at Vijayawada did not materialize.
