It is named after CR Rao, statistician, as it was built on his suggestion. The government funded institute intends to improve teaching methods and to encourage basic research in mathematical and social sciences. S.B. Rao was the first director and Allam Appa Rao is the current director.

It has received 10 million rupees in grants from the State Government and individual donors and is seeking a further 50 million rupees from the DST.[3]
