History
[edit]The establishment of CTUAP by the central government was required under the thirteenth schedule to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.[1]
In 2015 the university has been allotted 525 acres of land in Relli Village, Vizianagaram district by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.[2] The union cabinet has sanctioned ₹834 crore (US$100 million) for the construction of the university, out of which ₹420 crore (US$50 million) were sanctioned for the first phase of construction.[3] The Andhra University campus in Kondakarakam village, Vizianagaram district has been identified as transit campus to begin the academic and administrative activities for the academic year 2019–20 and the CTUAP will be moved to its own building in Relli village upon completion of its own buildings.[4] Andhra University was assigned the position of mentor university.[2]
In 2019 the university was officially established, through the Central Universities (Amendment) Act, 2019.[5] In August 2020, T.V. Kattimani was appointed the first vice-chancellor of the university.[6]
As of January 2021[update], the final location of the university has not been finalised.[7] A parcel of land that was identified in Kuntinavalasa in Mentada mandal was found satisfactory by the officials who visited it,[7] although this is not the only location proposed, and other locations are considered at Pachipenta mandal, at Chinnamedapalli in Mentada mandal and at Marrivalasa in Dattirajeru mandal.[8]
