Gandhi Institute of Technology & Management came into effect in the year 1980. GITAM was the plan of a bunch of scholars and people from different industries of AP. Overall it was a team effort. From where the institute name has derived? The name is self-explanatory. In�honor�of Mahatma Gandhi & the sacrifices he made for the country, GITAM planned to go with his name. GITAM is a big-time fan of him and his teachings. As a result, GITAM has taken the plunge and made Gandhi�s values its priority. Values that can lead a sinless life ahead are what he always wanted.�
