UoH-nominated Lead Knowledge Institute for Telangana

University of Hyderabad (UoH) has been nominated as the Leading Knowledge Institute for the Telangana government under NITI Aayog’s State Support Mission, “an umbrella initiative designed to provide structured, institutionalized support to States and Union Territories.”

UoH said in a statement that the nomination was forwarded by the State Planning Office. Under the initiative, UoH is expected to contribute to the State government through domain expertise, data analysis, research support, policy design, implementation assistance and capacity building in preparation for Vision@2047 or Viksit Bharat.

Expressing pride and thanking the Planning Department for restoring confidence in UoH, Vice-Chancellor-in-charge J. Anuradha said the initiative provides an excellent opportunity for faculty and researchers to translate academic knowledge into actionable policy support and public impact. He called on faculty members across schools and departments to contribute and collaborate in making the partnership a model of university-government interaction.

“I am confident that with the active participation of the R&D Cell and relevant academic units coordinating this mission, the university will make a strong and meaningful contribution to evidence-based governance, institutional strengthening and inclusive development,” he said.
