In a display of colour and coordination, the grounds of Andhra University turned into a living tableau on Friday (April 17, 2026) morning, as hundreds of students, faculty and staff assembled to form “AU@100”, marking the university’s centenary year.
Andhra University organised a large-scale human spell-out at the AU Golden Jubilee Grounds as part of its celebrations, drawing participation from students, faculty and non-teaching staff.
The coordinated formation, captured through aerial visuals, sought to commemorate a hundred years of the university’s history. Participants, grouped in colour-coded segments matching the hues of the Indian national flag, assembled in the morning and carried out synchronised movements as drones recorded the formation from above.

Vice-Chancellor G.P. Raja Sekhar said the initiative reflected the spirit of togetherness within the university community. “Today, as part of Andhra University’s 100-year celebrations, we are here to create an AU@100 human chain of students, staff, and faculty members. It is a unique feat achieved with enthusiastic participation, and it will foster bonding and a shared spirit across the University,” he said.
