'''Adikavi Nannaya University''' ([[IAST]]: ''Ādikavi Nannaya Viśvavidyālayamu'') is a [[State university (India)|state university]] located in [[Rajahmundry]] in [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[India]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2015-04-12/news/61066200_1_foundation-stone-east-godavari-districts | title=Adikavi Nannaya varsity to be developed to impart standard education: Srinivasa Rao | publisher=[[The Economic Times]] | date=12 April 2015 | accessdate=8 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ugc.ac.in/stateuniversitylist.aspx?id=1&Unitype=2 | title=Andhra Pradesh State University | publisher=[[University Grants Commission (India)]] | accessdate=8 August 2015}}</ref> It was established on 22 April 2006 through the Government of Andhra Pradesh Act No. 28 of 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Adikavi Nannaya University|url=https://www.aknu.edu.in/versityprofile.php|access-date=2021-01-04|website=www.aknu.edu.in}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is named after [[Nannayya]], the first attested author of a text composed in the Telugu language. The university attends to the educational needs of both Godavari districts. Currently, all seventy-four post-graduate institutes as well as the 403 degree colleges located within the aforementioned districts maintain their government-mandated university affiliation with Adikavi Nannaya University. These colleges were previously affiliated with Andhra University.<br />
<br />
The University also hosts four Constituent Colleges namely: University College of Arts and Commerce, University College of Education, University College of Engineering and University College of Science and Technology.<br />
<br />
Adikavi Nannaya University has extension campus at Kakinada and Tadepalligudem.<br />
<br />
The university initiated a program in [[Geoinformatics|Geo-Informatics]] and Petroleum Exploration, the first of its kind in Andhra Pradesh and one of the few in the country. In the second phase, keeping in view of the government policy of encouraging five-year integrated courses, the university designed and offered a new course in Mathematics and Computing, with the objective of providing trained programmes to the [[Information technology|I.T. industry]].<br />
<!--SORRY BUT SPECULATION IS NOT ALLOWED IN WIKIPEDIA, ONLY FACTS SO THE NEXT TWO PARAS CAN'T STAY...............With the encouragement of the government to introduce liberally five-year integrated programmes after 10+2 level in the universities, and with the focus of the Nannaya University to concentrate on specialized branches of study, the students of the affiliated colleges after 10+2+3 level may find it difficult to be admitted into the university. As a result the bond between the university and affiliated colleges becomes thin, with the university becoming a degree-awarding agency. To arrest this, Nannaya University contemplates a plan of action that the bond remains intact and becomes even thicker.<br />
<br />
The STPI authorities are planning an IT hub at the Adikavi Nannaya University (ANU) Campus College.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.hindu.com/2006/03/05/stories/2006030506250400.htm |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070219042452/http://www.hindu.com/2006/03/05/stories/2006030506250400.htm |url-status= dead |archive-date= 19 February 2007 |title=Andhra Pradesh/Hyderabad News: Telangana University at Nizamabad |accessdate=12 June 2011 |location=Chennai, India |work= [[The Hindu]] |date=5 March 2006}}</ref>--><br />
