The ''Andhra Pradesh Akademi of Sciences'' (APAS), came into existence with
the initiative of the great visionary Sri P.V.G. Raju, the then Education Minister,

scientists and researchers in the state. Thus, the ''Andhra Pradesh Akademi of
Sciences'' (APAS), founded in 1963, comprises Distinguished Scientists,
APAS

spectrum of Science and Technology disciplines. The aims and objectives of the Akademi are
mainly the advancement of science in Andhra Pradesh by providing a forum for discussing
scientific developments, propagating scientific knowledge among the people and publication of
books and Journals on Science.
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, 2014, enacted by the Indian Parliament, proclaimed
the bifurcation of the Andhra Pradesh state into two states viz., Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Consequent to this act, the A.P. Akademi of Sciences registered earlier under No: 552 of 1974,
under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Public Societies Registration Act, 1350 Fasli (Act. 1
of 1350 F), is also bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh Akademi of Sciences (APAS) and Telangana
