== History ==
Kakatiya Medical College was founded in 1959 by the Warangal Regional Medical Education society with the active support of the [[Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh]], [[Neelam Sanjiva Reddy]], the Director of Medical Services of A.P. and the Warangal District Collector Mohsin Bin Shabbir (whose picture adorns the main entrance of the medical school with quote 'The Earth sometimes bears gems and here is one') to provide medical education for students of the Telangana region of the state.
The college was inaugurated on 23 July 1959 by the P. Karmarkar, Minister of Health, Government of India. It was originally in a building donated by the Pingale family at Waddepally and it moved into the makeshift building constructed at the permanent site in November 1961.

{{convert|152.17|acre|km2}} of land was acquired for the medical college in [[Warangal]] and the permanent building of the college was constructed at an estimated cost of about Rs. 47 [[lakhs]]. [[Indira Gandhi]], the then [[Prime Minister of India]], inaugurated the permanent campus in 1966.
 
The temporary sheds which were constructed earlier at cost of Rs.10.70 Lakhs in 1961 had been remodeled to the boys' hostel. A permanent building for the girls' hostel was constructed and inaugurated by Sri J. Chokka Rao, Chairman A.P Regional Committee in 1970. A hostel for boys was inaugurated by Sri. H.C. Sarin I.C.S then advisor to Governor A.P. on 20 July 1973.
 
An impressive auditorium with an open-air stage was constructed at cost of Rs. 4 Lakhs behind the college with cinematographic equipment, accommodates 500 students.
 
The [[Andhra Pradesh Housing Board|AP Housing Board]] constructed staff quarters with a guest house on the college campus. On either side of the college building, there are two buildings with a cloak room, canteen, Andhra Bank, Post Office and Engineering Department. In addition R.M.E.S has constructed O.P. Block, T.B. Block, Lecture Hall, Clinical lab, and Mortuary in the premises of [[Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital]], Warangal.
 
The A.P Government took over the college from R.M.E.S. in February 1977. In the same year the college affiliation was transferred to [[Kakatiya University]] from [[Osmania University]]. And since 1 March 1997 the college was affiliated with N.T.R University of Health Sciences, and after Telangana formation now ''[[Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences]]'', [[Warangal]].
 
The postgraduate courses were started in 1972 and the college is conducting postgraduate courses in all department. The status the college owes entirely to the great architect with broad future vision of late Prof. T. Lakshminarayana, the principal of the college (1960–1965).
