Message
I deem it a privilege to present the 39th Annual Report of the Acharya Nagarjuna
University on behalf the Executive Council. Over the decades, the University has
manifested much progress in pursuit of excellence in teaching and research. The
year in retrospect has been satisfying and eventful. I wish to bring to the notice of
the stakeholders that the University continues to offer enhanced access to higher
education in this state. Many teachers were granted major research projects by
prestigious funding agencies while Research Scholars have distinguished themselves
by securing Post Doctoral Fellowships and also Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowships.
The students have successfully completed their courses as per the prescribed
Academic calendar and, I am sure, are in pursuit of their chosen vocations and
professions.
The contents of the Annual Report reveal the vision, mission and objectives of
the university. It also reflects the administrative and academic initiatives taken up
by the university in the past years. I congratulate the team involved in bringing out
this comprehensive annual report. I am sure that the report will stand testimony to
the contribution of Acharya Nagarjuna University to the cause of higher education.
