The Andhra Pradesh government has dissolved the governing bodies (Executive Councils) of 18 state universities, removing all nominated members appointed under Clause-2 during the previous government’s tenure. The Higher Education Department issued the orders as part of an administrative restructuring of the state’s higher education institutions.
The government clarified that ex-officio members serving under Clause-1 will continue in their roles without any changes. The move is aimed at reorganising university governance and introducing fresh administrative oversight across the institutions.
