Meghalaya Confederation for Academic Welfare calls on newly appointed NEHU VC Prof Shukla
Accusing the former VC Prof SK Srivastava of flouting the rules, MeCAW urged upon the newly appointed VC not to provide “tainted actors” a chance to get involved in enquiry into alleged scams in the university.
Meghalaya Confederation for Academic Welfare (MeCAW) on Thursday met the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of North East Hill University (NEHU) Prof Prabha Shankar Shukla to apprise him of the various alleged anomalies in the administrative section of the varsity.
Accusing the former VC Prof SK Srivastava of flouting the rules, MeCAW urged upon the newly appointed VC not to provide “tainted actors” a chance to get involved in enquiry into alleged scams in the university.
In its memorandum submitted to Prof. Shukla, the MeCAW asserted quick appointment of a qualified local Pro-VC of Shillong campus to build up bridge with the local community for advancement of academic interests of Meghalaya and the region.
“The MeCAW urged upon the newly appointed VC that for smooth functioning of the University and for uplifting it from its current low ranking, a legacy left by Srivastava’s failed regime, local aspirations need to be included,” read a release issued on Thursday.
The MeCAW also apprised the new VC that the MeCAW stands for academic development of Meghalaya and the region and implored upon him the academic Departments of NEHU be funded sufficiently well.
