Kerala Governor Rajendra Arlekar Faces Criticism for ‘Saffronising’ Education and Violation of Constitutional Propriety

• Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, the 23rd Governor of Kerala, has been criticized for’saffronising’ education and violating constitutional propriety.

• Arlekar, a former functionary of the BJP, has been accused of’saffronising’ campuses under the pretense of reform.

• His appointment was seen as a continuation of the ideological and administrative friction that had marked the tenure of his predecessor, Arif Mohammed Khan.

• Arlekar’s assertion of the Governor’s authority over State-run universities has clashed with the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s stance that State governments must retain control over publicly funded educational institutions.

• The impasse has led to a near-paralysis in university administration, with 13 of the 14 State universities without regular Vice-Chancellors.

• The Supreme Court recently appointed former Supreme Court judge Sudhanshu Dhulia to head the search-cum-selection committees for Vice-Chancellor appointments in APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and Digital University Kerala.

• The ongoing confrontation is a clash of two visions: one rooted in the federal autonomy of elected governments, and the other in a centralised, ideologically driven re-imagination of institutions.

Kerala governor controversy is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
