State government releases White Paper on educational institutions in AP

Amaravati: In an embarrassing situation to the central government and BJP leaders, the State government released White Paper on establishment of eleven educational institutions assured under AP Reorganization Act, on Friday.

Srinivasa Rao further explained that 5 institutions have been functioning from temporary campuses since 2015-16, 2 institutions have been functioning at temporary campuses from 2016-17 and another two from 2018-19 in temporary campuses. The central government still did not start Tribal University.
