MALDA, 5 JUNE: Dr. Gopa Dutta, president of the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education, has been appointed as vice-chancellor of the University of the Gour Banga.
The UGB authorities were facing problems after the resignation of the university’s first VC, Prof Surabhi Bannerjee. It was decided that Dr. Dutta would take over on 9 June in Kolkata when Prof Banerjee would be available to make over the charge in there.
Today, SFI leaders staged a demonstration and submitted a memorandum to the registrar of the UGB raising several demands related to academic development of the university and colleges, including the appointment of vice chancellor, so as to enable a meeting of the executive council for taking major decisions in the interest of the students.
Speaking to the deputation, the registrar of the UGB, Mr. Tapas Chatterjee said: “The new VC Dr Gopa Dutta would be coming here on 11 June and resolve the ongoing crisis”.
“The demands of the SFI leaders were legitimate and on the lines of academic development and we must take appropriate steps in due course”, Mr. Chatterjee said.
The SFI district secretary Mr. Joy Chakraborty said: “Though the state council for higher education has approved the new subjects for honours study courses, college authorities in North and South Dinajpur allegedly have denied giving admission forms to the interested students”.
After receiving complaints the registrar of the UGB called the college authorities and asked them to issue admission forms for honours courses.
The student leaders also demanded the recruitment of required teachers for the colleges where new subject with honours courses have been introduced recently.
