Gottipolu Rajarami Reddy, a senior professor of zoology at Sri Venkateswara University, has been appointed the new Vice-Chancellor of Vikrama Simhapuri University (VSU), Nellore.
SVU Vice-Chancellor N. Prabhakara Rao handed over the order copy received from the State government along with the relieving order to Prof. Rajarami Reddy, who will formally take charge at Nellore on Friday. In fact, Prof. Reddy hails from Nellore district.
In an informal chat after receiving the order copy, Prof. Reddy said he would strive to bring fame to the varsity and live up to the expectations of the government. Prof. Rao hoped that the appointment of Prof. Reddy, a scientist of international repute, would augur well for the nascent VSU in overcoming teething troubles.
