In a recent address, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive reform of the college curriculum. He stated that the educational framework must be realigned to meet the current demands of the industry.

Naidu highlighted that enhancing the college education system is crucial, urging for the introduction of new, demand-driven courses alongside updates to existing curricula. Such changes are necessary to strengthen the educational framework.

During a review of various departments, he pointed out the importance of improving university rankings. He specifically mentioned that Andhra University in Visakhapatnam and other institutions should strive for better positions in national rankings.

The Chief Minister also called for the Higher Education Council to take a more proactive role, with the Education Department leading the charge.
