Participating as chief guest in the inaugural programme of a two day seminar on ‘Water Resources Management in Coastal Regions ‘ organized here on Thursday by National Institute of Hydrology, Kakinada , Prof Kumar said that JNTU Kakinada would like to chalk out an action plan for the same with the active participation of the student community.
