Subject: Urgent Attention Required: Leadership and Faculty Issues at RGUKT Srikakulam
Respected Sir (@naralokesh),
I would like to bring to your kind attention the current administrative and academic challenges being faced at RGUKT Srikakulam.
The Directors appointed during the previous government have already submitted their resignations more than a year ago, and those resignations have also been officially accepted recently. However, new directors have not yet been appointed, resulting in operational stagnation and lack of leadership. This has significantly impacted the functioning and decision-making at the university.
Moreover, the higher education structure within RGUKT is facing a serious crisis, with nearly 98% of the teaching positions occupied by contract Assistant Professors. This disproportionate reliance on temporary faculty is undermining the quality, consistency, and long-term development of both teaching and research activities.
The entire RGUKT system, especially at the Srikakulam campus, is struggling to function effectively in the absence of stable leadership and a robust faculty framework.
I humbly request your urgent intervention to:
1. Appoint full-time Directors to all RGUKT campuses, especially Srikakulam.
2. Review and restructure faculty recruitment policies, reducing over-dependence on contract positions.
3. Restore the academic and administrative integrity of RGUKT to ensure quality education and governance.
This is a critical opportunity to rectify long-standing gaps and to strengthen the RGUKT model in line with its original vision of delivering world-class education to rural and underprivileged youth.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ravi Gedela
