Dewan Bhadur Padma Rao Mudaliar Degree and PG College for Women has started its journey in 1982. The emblem depicts vision and mission of the institution.

The emblem is the combination of four symbols and three words. The four symbols, designed in four panels each, represent the vision of the institution, whereas the words carry out its mission. The three words are DEVOTION,
DISCIPLINE and DILIGENCE, implying to remain devoted in imparting discipline and values, and to practice, diligence in every step. The four symbols that define the vision are – SUN AND LOTUS; BOOKS; A BANYAN TREE; A SCRIPTURE. Lotus is associated with beauty, purity, spirituality and eternity; SUN is the archetypal epitome of power and vigor. From time immemorial TREE symbolizes fertility and knowledge. The huge banyan tree is an attribute of the legendary Bodhi Tree, which not only inculcates knowledge, but also propagates a sound human character. BOOKS and SCRIPTURE are an integral part of academics and this institution is not any exception. The scripture inscribed on the emblem says that, Knowledge Grows To Wisdom—the universal truth pertaining
to every civilization in every age.
