Law varsity likely at Sabbavaram

VISAKHAPATNAM: The Cabinet, at a meeting to be held on June 30, will formally give its consent to the establishment of a law university in the city. All efforts are being made to ensure functioning of the university during this academic year.
This was stated by Commercial Taxes Minister Konathala Ramakrishna and Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education K.C. Reddy at different press conferences on Saturday.
The government’s plan was to set up a high-standard law university here on the lines of NALSAR Law University and it would have two centres, one each at Nizamabad and Kadapa. The law university, the name of which would be decided later, would come up on a 300-acre plot near the proposed central university at Sabbavaram. The central university had already been allotted 700 acres in a 1,300-acre site. In addition to the law university, plans were also being made to establish a management institution by allotting 200-250 acres to it.
Mr. Ramakrishna said the law university would be run by the State government and the modalities would be worked out soon.
