The Higher Education Department of Andhra Pradesh has taken up various initiatives in the fields of faculty development, R&D and innovation, employability and entrepreneurship, e-learning, smart campuses, international rankings, CSR funding for higher education etc.
To provide impetus to these initiatives, the Government intends to engage highly competent candidates as Summer Fellows for six-eight weeks.
