AMCOSA
Andhra Medical College Old Student's Association (AMCOSA) was formed by the efforts of Prof. P. Brahmayya Sastry and Dr. C. Vyaghreswarudu. The first AMCOSA day was celebrated on 28 January 1967, which was inaugurated by Lt.Col. Dr. M. V. Ramana Murthy, who was the last Surgeon General of the combined Madras Province.
According to the drafted constitution, the aims of AMCOSA were to gradually bring all the old students of the college under one roof, to promote fraternity and fellowship, to promote good will for its multifaceted development, to propagate the achievements of the teachers and alumni of the college as an inspiration to the younger generation and to come together once a year, to greet each other and relive the student days.
The first goal was to build an office for the association and to provide accommodation to the alma mater during their visit to Visakhapatnam. The government allotted 4000 square yards of land in the premises of Alapati Doctors Quarters on a lease of 99 years (vide G.O.Ms.No.2187H/ dt.3.12.1970). The foundation stone for the AMCOSA Golden Jubilee Guest House was laid on 23 March 1971 by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri Kasu Brahmananda Reddy.
