Q. What is your vision for SRM University AP? What made you set it up?
A. Our vision for SRM University AP is to be a globally-recognised institution that provides quality education and fosters innovation, research, and entrepreneurship and where students get a unique learning experience in their chosen field that would best serve society.
With the rich legacy of SRM IST, we wanted to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can excel academically and develop essential skills for their personal and professional growth.
What led to the establishment SRM University AP was the desire to bridge the gap between industry requirements and the skills imparted by traditional academic institutions.
Q. Why did you choose Amravati for it?
A. The decision was based on several factors. Firstly, Amravati is strategically located and well-connected, making it accessible to students from various parts of the country. During the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh [into AP and Telangana] in 2014, the AP state government had an interesting vision and development plans for AP which was well aligned with our institute's vision as well.
Additionally, the region has a rich cultural heritage and excellent growth prospects. Amravati has a growing ecosystem of industries and businesses, providing ample opportunities for internships, industry collaborations, and job placements.
