CUAP CELEBRATES INDIPENDENCE DAY WITH FERVOR, VC ANNOUNCES NEW COURSES
Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of Central University of Andhra Pradesh hoisted the national flag at Jnana Seema in Janthuluru to mark the 80th Independence Day celebrations in the campus. Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Kori said, the University has started three new programmes – MSc programmes in Chemistry, Genomic Sciences, and MCA with students responding by competing to enroll for these courses from all over India. He said the last year also saw considerable emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, research, and emerging areas of knowledge.
“Programmes covering artificial intelligence, financial awareness, research methodology, data analysis, academic writing, and other contemporary themes offered students and scholars opportunities to develop new skills and engage with evolving academic and professional contexts. The University’s academic environment was further enriched through faculty development programmes, research-related workshops, and participation in conferences and other scholarly activities”, Said Prof. Kori in his address to the students, teaching and non-teaching staff who were present on the occasion.
This year, CUAP celebrated a momentous achievement by hosting its first convocation ceremony on 1 July. The event was graced by the presence of the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, Visitor of the University, as the Chief Guest. Her visit added a distinguished significance to the occasion, marking a new chapter in the university’s journey and honouring the accomplishments of its graduates. Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu delivered the Convocation Address and unveiled the Commemorative Plaque.
The Hon’ble Vice Chancellor said, “In this context, my appeal to the young minds is: Make sure that engaging with social media reels does not overshadow your traditional textbooks, as it is important to prioritize comprehensive learning. Additionally, be mindful of how algorithms can sometimes influence your educational experience, potentially overshadowing the valuable insights and guidance provided by your teachers.
Prof Kori inaugurated two portals: CUAP E-Campus Portal (student.cuap.in) and Student Health & Wellbeing Portal (health.cuap.in). The university is taking significant steps towards creating a digitally enabled, student-friendly campus through the CUAP E-Campus Portal and the Student Health & Wellbeing Portal. These platforms are designed to simplify essential services, improve access to information, and support students' academic, administrative, and personal wellbeing needs.
Skill development cell in collaboration with Jan Sikshan Sansthan - Ananthapuramu conducted tailoring training for 51 women as an outreach women empowerment programme for nearby villagers. Those certificates from National Skill Development Council (NSDC) were distributed today.
