In the current financial year, the allocation on capital spending was Rs 35.88 crore, which the Education Ministry had agreed to enhance to Rs 105 crore before March-end. The first phase of the project outlay for the university campus was Rs 350 crore and Rs 361 crore for the second phase.
The Andhra Pradesh University Vice-Chancellor S A Kori has announced that the AP United Citizens Forum, Anantapur, has supported the demand of the Central University of Andhra Pradesh for the release of adequate funds for building a campus of its own after the demand for the Union Budget estimates showed only Rs 56.66 crore for the next financial year.
During the press conference which was attended by the students of the University and the forum general secretary AG Rajmohan, after a brief demonstration, they wanted the Centre to increase the allocation to at least Rs 200 crore for the upcoming financial year. They said to take up the building construction forthwith and to ensure proper accommodation for the staff and students, a large amount of money was essential.
Kori told that for the current financial year the allocation on capital spending was Rs 35.88 crore, which the Education Ministry had now agreed to enhance to Rs 105 crore before March-end. The first phase of the project outlay for the university campus was Rs 350 crore and Rs 361 crore for the second phase.
“We are in talks with the ministry officials and the final figure for the next financial year has not been arrived at,” he added.
Kori further said that he expects that the government will provide good amount for the next financial year too to take up the construction work.
“The university needs 49 teaching and 51 non-teaching staff as per the University Grants Commission norms and recruitment process would be started once the ministry approval was received,” he added.
