The Dr. Abdul Haq Urdu University Act, 2016 establishes a public university in Andhra Pradesh dedicated to promoting and developing the Urdu language through higher education and research. Applicable across the entire state, the law outlines the institution's powers, administrative hierarchy, and governance roles, including key officers like the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Registrar. It guarantees open access to students and staff regardless of gender, caste, or creed.
