Andhra University (a prominent public research institution in Visakhapatnam, on India's southeastern coast) is marking its centenary year with sweeping plans for modernisation, including expansion into quantum computing. Vice-Chancellor G.P. Raja Sekhar unveiled a draft vision document on April 26, 2025, as the university launched a year-long programme of centenary activities leading up to its official 100th foundation day on April 26, 2026. The milestone is being used as a catalyst to reposition the institution within India's increasingly competitive higher education landscape, with reforms spanning academics, infrastructure, and community outreach.
