Viswa Hindi Parishad (VHP) national president Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, while hailing the overall A.P. Budget, has sought an increase of ₹50 crore in the Budget for Andhra University (AU) for 2026-27.
In a statement on Sunday (February 15, 2026), Mr. Lakshmi Prasad said that although there was a hike in the Budget for Andhra University by ₹10 crore compared to the 2025-26 Budget, the allocation this year was ₹26.27 crore less than that of 2024-25. Since this is the centenary year of Andhra University, he felt that allocating an additional ₹50 crore in the Budget would benefit the university.
Andhra University was allocated ₹389.34 crore, this year, which is ₹10 crore more than last year. In 2024-25, AU was allocated ₹417.25 crore. Mr. Lakshmi Prasad reiterated his plea to the State Government for increasing the Budget for AU by ₹50 crore this year.
