NCSC Criticizes Visva-Bharati VC for Missing Hearing on Recruitment Reservation Lapses
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) expressed concern over Visva-Bharati Vice Chancellor Probir Kumar Ghosh's absence at a hearing on alleged reservation policy lapses in a professor's recruitment. The hearing, held on August 20, was attended by other university officials. The NCSC has directed the VC to appear personally at the next hearing and warned of using constitutional powers if he fails to comply. Visva-Bharati stated the recruitment decision involved all board members, not solely the VC.
