RAJASTHAN UNIVERSITY VC DEV SWARUP’S RESIGNATION ACCEPTED BY THE GOVERNOR

Rajasthan University Vice-Chancellor Dev Swarup’s resignation was on Monday afternoon accepted by Governor Kalyan Singh. The Governor directed the Vasundhara Raje government to appoint Divisional Commissioner Hanuman Singh Bhati to take charge of the university till a new V-C is selected.

Swarup had met Singh on Sunday and offered to resign citing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh pressure and lack of cooperation by the government nominees in the Syndicate in the working of the university. Swarup had alleged that the Syndicate members, mostly RSS pracharaks, had held up the budget, thereby paralysing the disbursement of salaries and pensions.
