The Cabinet today approved setting up of a Central University in Andhra Pradesh, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said here today.
"Very happy that #Cabinet approves Central Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2018 to set up Central University of #AndhraPradesh. This will result in more facilities for Andhra Pradesh in higher education.
"In a historic first, Central University of #AndhraPradesh will start academic session on 5th August, 2018. Earlier the practice was different - First the cabinet will take decision, then the bill will be passed in parliament. That meant loss of atleast one year," Javadekar said in a series of tweets.
The Human Resource Development Minister further said,"To save on time @narendramodi govt. created a different rule formed a society and started the college immediately under the mentor-ship of Hyderabad Central University. This is unique and Andhra People will celebrate.
