Medhavi Foundation to Set Up Global Skills University in Vizag

The Medhavi Foundation, the promoter of the established Medhavi Skills University (MSU), is establishing the Swarna Madhavi Global Skills University in Visakhapatnam. This new university aims to cultivate industry-ready youth, supporting Andhra Pradesh’s goal of becoming a major knowledge hub and contributing to the ‘Swarnandhra@2047’ vision of achieving a trillion-dollar economy.

The Foundation formalized the initiative by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) during the 30th CII Partnership Summit. Pravesh Dudani, Founder and Director of Medhavi Foundation and Chancellor of MSU, signed the MoU with Bharat Gupta, Director, Commissionerate of Collegiate Education. The signing ceremony was attended by senior officials, including Kona Sasidhar, Principal Secretary (Higher Education); G. Ganesh Kumar, MD and CEO, APSSDC; K. V. Satyanarayana, Chairman, SCET; and Saurabh Mishra, Vice President, MSU.

Built on a dedicated greenfield campus in Visakhapatnam, the university will offer undergraduate, postgraduate, and skill-focused programs in key areas such as electronics, computer science, renewable energy, maritime and logistics, manufacturing, and advanced technologies.

The project strictly adheres to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, emphasizing flexible learning, vocational integration, and robust industry–academia collaboration. Dudani stated that the initiative supports Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s vision of making Andhra Pradesh a global investment hub and equipping youth with practical, job-ready skills essential for a developed state and nation.
