West Bengal Academicians Object to V-C Selection Panels

• Academicians from West Bengal question the presence of certain members in the selection panels for the appointment of Vice Chancellors (V-C) to 15 universities.

• The academicians object to the participation of Ramesh Chandra, a former V-C of Maharaja Surajmal Brij University, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, and retired IAS officer S.K. Pattanayak, who is serving in the West Bengal Raj Bhavan.

• Chandra was recently removed by the Rajasthan Governor for allegedly misusing his position and embezzling funds.

• The West Bengal government and Raj Bhavan have been on a collision course over the appointment of V-Cs for several years.

• The Supreme Court intervened in July 2024 to resolve the stand-off between the State and the Governor by forming search-cum-selection committees chaired by former CJI Lalit.

• Vice-Chancellors to 17 out of 35 State universities have been appointed, and the selection process for the remaining vacancies is likely to be held in the next few days.

V-C Selection Controversy is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
