The academic community and activists from Rayalaseema perceive that there is an attempt being made to shift the Telugu and Sanskrit Akademi, originally sanctioned to be headquartered at Tirupati, to Vijayawada or its vicinity, citing administrative convenience, said Rayalaseema Intellectual Forum president M. Purushotham Reddy, on Tuesday.
Mr. Reddy found fault with the Akademi authorities for renting premises in Vijayawada to house the institute’s chairperson’s office and godown, which he feared could leave the Tirupati headquarters merely on paper.
