Government of Andhra Pradesh has bowed to the demand of Agriculture students who were on indefinite strike from more than a month, demanding withdrawal of controversial Government Order 64.
Agriculture Minister Somireddy ChandraMohan Reddy said that the G.O. 64 was abolished taking into considering the serious apprehensions raised by Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University students.
It may be recalled that G.O. 64 deleted the words “accredited by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research” from G.O.16. Students have been protesting that this G.O. 64 will ultimately regularise the services of the ineligible graduates in senior positions. As per G.O. 16 agriculture graduates have to be accredited by Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan extending his support to the ANGRAU students, said that the controversial G O by allowing fake degree holders will ruin the farmers and economy.
