Andhra Pradesh to have a world class university in Kadapa: Orissa should have one in Rourkela
May 5th, 2008
Update 1: It looks like my assumption below that the university at Kadapa is a state one was wrong. As per Times of India, the AP government just decided to change the venue of the world class central university from Vizag to Kadapa.
Update 2: Later reports mention that the AP government did not ask the center before making the Kadapa announcement and the central govt. may not agree to shift the location from Vizag to Kadapa.
Initial post:
Following is an excerpt from newpostindia.com.
The meeting also decided to set up a world-class university in Kadapa, the home district of the chief minister, for which the government will allot 700 acres of land.
In this regard, one may note that the central government had announced that it will establish a world class central university in Vizag. I assume the Andhra Pradesh Government is talking about a different university (state funded) for Kadapa.
The Orissa government should follow Andhra’s example and besides the central govt. funded world class university in Bhubaneswar and another central university in KBK, the Orissa government should establish a world class university in Rourkela via state funds or PPP.

Kadapa is around 400 kms from Hyderabad with a population of approx 2 lakh, but the kind of importance given to the city is an example worth emulating. Rourkela is quite bigger than Kadapa and it deserves a general university, world class or not doesn’t matter. Given some importance the city can become an alternate growth center of Orissa. But, shockingly the population of Rourkela is stabilising with a decadal growth of around 16%, much less than 55% for Bhubaneswar, 45% for Berhampur and 35% for Cuttack. Infact, Kadapa has an airport, which is a dream for cities of its standard in our state.

kadapa is not capable of having a world class university with a total population of 2 lakhs….this doesnt seem to be right on the part of cheif minister to provide site in kadapa leaving out vizag a much more bigger city in andhra……
