Andhra Medical College Conferred with Administrative Excellence Award

The organisation, represented by A. Sivayya, presented the certificate to Dr PV Sudhakar, the principal of Andhra Medical College. The district collector, Sri A. Mallikarjuna, was also present at the event. He gave a welcome address and congratulated the principal and faculty for achieving high standards.

According to media persons from The New Indian Express, Dr. Sudhakar has said that the certification was given based on administrative reforms and good practices in administration and initiatives in research activities taken up by the college. He also added that they applied for the certification three months ago and representatives of the organisation conducted a confidential survey and collected data and feedback of students and staff of the college with regard to functioning of the college administration.

The team recommended the ISO certification to AMC. He also mentioned that the government hospital for mental care was given the certification four months ago.

Dr. Sudhakar hopes that the ISO certification will help the institution secure NAAC accreditation.

NAAC Accreditation is mandatory for all higher educational institutes in the country, but many institutes, like AMC, are yet to get accredited. All higher educational institutes are required to get themselves accredited by NAAC by the year 2022.
