BRAOU

The University, initially known as Andhra Pradesh Open University,
was set up on 26th August 1982 through an Act of the A.P. State Legislature
(APOU Act 1982). Subsequently, the University was renamed as Dr. B.R.Ambedkar
Open University on 26 October, 1991 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The
establishment of this University, the first of its kind in India, heralded an era of
affirmative action on the part of the Government of Andhra Pradesh to provide
opportunities of higher education to all sections of society to meet the changing
individual and social needs. All the programmes offered by the University are
recognised by the University Grants Commission, New Delhi. The motto of the
University is "EDUCATION FOR ALL".
