Guntur once known for its destination of higher education, lost its glory after all the educational institutes setting up in Hyderabad. But after the bifurcation, it has bagged two prestigious central institutes. All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Agricultural University, where for both the foundation stone is laid off.
