Cambridge University campus in Amaravati

September 17, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:47 am IST - HYDERABAD:

Andhra Pradesh is all set to have a campus of the Cambridge University in its new capital Amaravati.

According to Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Y. Satyanarayana (Sujana) Chowdary, the university has agreed to start a not for profit organisation to begin with and the proceeds of this organisation would be utilised in the fields of education and research. The university would subsequently set up its campus in the new capital in the due course.

The development follows Mr. Chowdary’s invite to the university authorities to partner with Andhra Pradesh that has put education on the forefront. The university authorities confirmed their interest in starting operations from Andhra Pradesh during their recent visit to New Delhi.

The State government has, accordingly, decided to constitute a three-member committee to hold negotiations with the Cambridge University. The Minister said a delegation of the university was expected to visit the State soon.
