TIRUPATI: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) executive officer (EO) A.V. Dharma Reddy on Friday directed Sri Venkateswara Vedic University in the temple town to promote Vedic education in accordance with National Education Policy-2020 beginning from the coming academic year.
Presiding over a review meeting with Vedic university officials in the TTD Administrative Building, the EO said entire premises of the university should be given an aesthetic look which reminds people of Vedic times. There must be heritage corridors related to Vedas, Agamas, Jyothishyam and so on. Greenery must be part of the programme.
Dharma Reddy said food prepared in hostels should be as per Dittam. "The university area should reverberate with divine chants of Vedic mantras round the clock. Radio and broadcasting department of TTD should make necessary arrangements for the same," he underlined.
