Report of the Andhra University Enquiry Commission

Abstract

From Introduction: During the last about three years or more, persistent imputations have been made against the administration of the Andhra University. Almost a campaign has been carried on in a section of the press against the alleged maladministration of the University. The Vice- Chancellor, Dr. A. L. Narayan, came in for special criticism in the several articles published in the press. The matter was repeatedly raised on the floor of the Andhra Pradesh Legislature by several members. The Syndicate of the Andhra University set up a committee to examine into the truth and validity of the allegatioins levelled against the University administration. After deliberations extending over a period of several months, the Syndicate Committee made an ad interim report. But this did not abate the criticism to any extent. On the contrary, the critics became more vociferous and persistent. The Government, therefore, considered it expedient in the interests of the University to cause an enquiry to be made in respect of the matters connected with the University. A notification under Section 8 (1) of the Andhra University Act was issued by the Government for this purpose.
