Progressive Fronts
The University is admitted under Section 22 of the UGC by which it is empowered to award degress. The University was conferred affiliated colleges by the A.P Higher Education. Former Vice-Chancellor G.Rajarami Reddy focused on recruitment to attain University Grants Commission (India) 12 B Status to empower the University with central funds. There was baseless criticism on the recruitment of 19 Teaching Faculty members in December 2013, which was backlashed by the student organizations. Facing challenge from the several organizations aggrieved on filling vacant non-teaching positions with the incumbent employees who have been working with the University since inception, there were several agitations to which the then V-C gave clarifications on the fairness of the non-teaching recruitment. Unrelenting, there was an attack on the University Office, which was openly resented and led to a protest marching by the members of faculty of the University along with the non-teaching staff condemning the vandalism and riot as a shame to democracy and fairness. A new web domain simhapuriuniv.ac.in was inaugurated in 2011. On recognising the misuse of the old website simhapuriuniv.org, a complaint was lodged with the cybercrime department to inquire into it.
