Centre May Allocate Elite Education Institutions To Seemandhra

"Most of the highly developed educational institutions are going to the state of Telangana. The Centre should immediately grant the above said institutions and they should come into operation within a year," the representations said.

They said the existing Andhra University in Visakhapatnam should be accorded central university status as there is not a single central government-run institute in the Andhra or the Rayalaseema region.

In its October 19 meeting, the GoM had fixed November 5 as the last day for receiving suggestions on bifurcation of the state from public, including political parties and public representatives.

The panel would submit its report to the Union Cabinet before the winter session of Parliament.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde is heading the high-powered committee with Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Defence Minister A K Antony, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister M Veerappa Moily and Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh as members.

Minister of State for Personnel and Prime Minister's Office V Narayanasamy is a special invitee to the panel.
