TTD Chairman urges Union Minister to upgrade Vedic Varsity

Tirupati, Dec 10 : Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman Y. V. Subba Reddy has appealed to the Union Minister for Education Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to upgrade SV Vedic University as a central varsity.
In his representation to Pokhriyal, Reddy said on Wednesday that the Vedic Varsity established in 2006 was recognised by the UGC as a state university under 2F category.
Besides establishing the varsity with the noble ambition of propagating vedic studies for posterity, TTD has also set up vedic pathashalas (schools).
It provides financial assistance to over 80 such vedic schools across the country.
Considering the yeoman services TTD has been rendering over the past 14 years, Reddy requested the Minister to accord 12 B recognition to the varsity to upgrade it into a central university, on the lines of the status given to three other Sanskrit universities in the country.
He said the university is offering degree and doctoral courses in various segments of vedic sciences.
