Bifurcation blues continue to haunt institutions, corporations and centres that await division of assets and liabilities in Andhra Pradesh even eight years after the division of the erstwhile composite State.
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University and Potti Sriramulu Telugu University are among the institutions bearing the brunt of the delay. The Ambedkar university management in Hyderabad receives ₹16.36 crore from Andhra Pradesh, which includes a grant of around ₹4.51 crore, fee paid by the students of A.P. to the tune of ₹11.6 crore and around ₹90 lakh collected towards entrance fee. Every year, around 30,000 students from A.P. enrol in the university through the entrance exam.
