The emblem of the university has a motif of the epic ‘Samudra Manthan’ or ‘churning of the ocean’ using Mount Meru as the staff and Vasuki - the king of snakes who adorns the neck of Shiva - as the rope, the Devas and the Asuras churning the milky ocean. The Dhanvatari who emerged from the kerning brought a pot of nectar which is kept in a pot above. The Dhanvantari is the medical doctor and the nectar is the medicines given by them. Its motto in Telugu ‘వైద్యో నారాయణో హరిః’ meaning ‘The Physician is a Manifestation of Lord Narayana’ is placed above the motif. THese are supported by a pair of laurels. At the bottom the nameof the university is written in Telugu and the year of its formation is written below.
