Andhra Pradesh Launches Educational Initiatives
In Andhra Pradesh, two important things happened for education.
First, a new center called the Mandali Venkata Krishna Rao International Telugu Centre was opened at a university in Rajamahendravaram.
This center has places for music, dance, and exams.
Important people like the local MLA and the university's vice-chancellor were there for the opening.
The MLA said it's great that the center is named after someone who worked hard for the Telugu language.
The vice-chancellor said the university needs a lot of money to build new buildings and improve the campus.
They plan to ask for more money to build things like a library, museum, and more.
They also want to use more of the land they have to build bigger buildings.
Second, the construction of Dr Abdul Haq Urdu University near Orvakal in Kurnool was restarted.
A state minister, TG Bharath, said that if his party had been in power earlier, the university would have been completed by now.
He also said that the previous government delayed many important projects.
He is happy that the university construction is starting again because it will help students and the minority community.
He also talked about how Andhra Pradesh is getting a lot of investment, especially in Kurnool.
The Mandali Venkata Krishna Rao International Telugu Centre was inaugurated at the Sri Potti Sriramulu Telugu University campus in Rajamahendravaram.
The center includes facilities for music, dance, and examinations.
Rs 75 lakh has been sanctioned for developing internal roads in the university campus.
The vice-chancellor stated that Rs 100 crore is needed for the comprehensive development of the Telugu University.
Proposals have been sent for Rs 9.40 crore for the 2025–26 financial year and Rs 2.20 crore for constructing temporary sheds in the next financial year.
