Visakhapatnam: Andhra University Vice-Chancellor Prof G Nageswara Rao called upon teachers, research scholars and non-teaching staff to rededicate themselves to revive the past glory of the 92-year-old academic institution.Paying rich tributes to the great Vice-Chancellors Sir C R Reddy and Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who had laid strong academic and research foundation, to mark the Andhra University Foundation Day here on Wednesday, Prof Nageswara Rao said that public universities were facing severe fund crunch and unhealthy competition from the private funded universities.
