The Chief Minister addressed the vice chancellors with a call to restore trust and credibility in the State’s universities, expressing concern over the declining reputation of these institutions. “The reputation of our universities has diminished in recent years,” he said. “It’s time to rebuild and enhance their reliability.”
The Chief Minister has asked the newly appointed vice chancellors to prepare a report on the Status of the performance of the universities first and then take necessary steps for the makeover institutions.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister gave certain instructions to Vice Chancellors. They have been asked to work hard to instill trust in the universities. The CM expressed concern that universities are losing their reputation for some time now and needed to enhance their reliability.
Systems have been collapsed in the universities, Revanth Reddy said, asking the VCs to conduct a comprehensive study on the present condition of universities and take action accordingly. Hire consultancies, if required, and prepare a report on the functioning of the universities, the CM said.
Stating that new vice chancellors have been appointed without any influence, the Chief Minister said that the government has selected the Vice chancellors purely on the basis of merit and social equations.

The vice chancellors have been given liberty to perform and the government will always support those who do excellent job. “The universities should be revamped 100 per cent. Students used to remember the vice chancellors for years in the past. Now, the situation is not the same”, Revanth Reddy said, instructing the university authorities to pay special attention to drugs and ganja trafficking in universities and keep a vigil on students by counseling them.
