New Delhi, March 28
Vice President CP Radhakrishnan, who is the Chancellor of Panjab University in Chandigarh, has approved an extension to Vice Chancellor Renu Vig while also setting up a three-member search-cum-selection committee to identify her successor, according to officials.
The extension will be effective from March 29, a day after her three-year tenure concludes.
“The all-woman committee will be chaired by retired Lt Gen Madhuri Kanitkar, VC of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences in Nashik; with Shashikala Wanjari, VC of the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) in New Delhi, and Vibha Tandon, director of CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata, as members,” an education ministry official said.
The panel has been directed to submit a list of three to five names to the chancellor as soon as possible.
Vig, who had taken over as acting VC on January 16, 2023, following the resignation of then V-C Raj Kumar amid allegations of corruption, was formally appointed the university’s 14th and first woman VC in 2023.
