The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Committee on Public Undertakings, headed by Chairman Kuna Ravikumar, held a review meeting of various institutions in Kadapa district on Friday, where several instances of financial indiscipline and lack of accountability came to light.
Accompanied by Collector Sridhar Cherukuri and panel members including MLC Bhumireddy Ramagopal Reddy, Tadikonda MLA Sravan Kumar, Pamarru MLA Kumar Raja Varla, MLC Isaac Basha, Joint Collector Aditi Singh and Assistant Secretary Naga Muneiah, Mr. Ravikumar reviewed the functioning and progress of Yogi Vemana University, YSR Architecture and Fine Arts University, Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (IIIT Idupulapaya), Rayalaseema Thermal Power Station (RTPS), Kadapa Steel Corporation, Pulivendula Area Development Authority (PADA), AP Tourism, and the Andhra Pradesh Centre for Advanced Research in Livestock (APCARL).
The panel found that many institutions had violated rules, skipped mandatory approval procedures, and failed to maintain essential documentation. Mr. Ravikumar questioned how the administrators of such prestigious institutions could overlook repeated instances of mismanagement and allow audit objections to accumulate without taking corrective action
