Suravaram Prathapa Reddy Telugu University is one of the few language Universities in India. It was established on 2nd December 1985, through an Act of legislation in the assembly of Andhra Pradesh. Prior to establishment of Telugu University, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has established ‘Telugu Vignana Peetham’ with the confluence of six institutions, namely Sahitya akademi, Sangita Nataka akademi, Nritya akademi, Lalitakala akademi, Telugu Bhasha Samithi and Antarjatiya Telugu Kendram, already working for the propagation and preservation of Telugu language, literature, history, culture and arts. This Vignana Peetham was merged with the Telugu University after its establishment. The University Grants Commission, through its letter no. D.O.
