Vijayawada: Naandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi, who served as the chairperson of the Telugu Academy during YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s tenure, has faced significant changes under the Chandrababu Naidu government. Appointed as chairperson of the Telugu Academy by the Jagan administration, she was also honored with the title of ‘Honorary Professor’ by Andhra University.
Following the transfer of power in the state, actions are being taken against leaders and officials who played key roles in YS Jagan’s regime. In line with this, Andhra University has issued a crucial statement regarding Lakshmi Parvathi. The university’s registrar, N Kishore Babu, announced on Thursday that her ‘Honorary Professor’ status has been revoked. He clarified that Lakshmi Parvathi had not received any salary from the university thus far.
When Lakshmi Parvathi assumed the chairmanship of the Telugu Academy, she was tasked with providing guidance to university researchers. However, she has now been relieved of these duties. The university’s registrar further revealed that the research scholars who were under her guidance have been reassigned to another professor within the Telugu department.
