COIMBATORE: Tamil Nadu Agricultural University vice-chancellor K Ramasamy's tenure will come to an end this August, and the search for the new VC has begun.
The academic council nominated its representative for the search committee last week, while the board of management is still under talks to decide on its nomination. The third person in the committee will be governor K Rosaiah. Once the search committee is formed, they will begin the search for list of eligible candidates. The search is expected to be constituted by the end of this month.
Ramasamy is the 10th vice-chancellor of TNAU and he assumed office on August 27, 2012. He is also a member of the state planning commission.
With the retirement age of the university vice-chancellor being 70 years, it is said that Ramasamy is unlikely to apply for a second term. Born on May 1, 1948, Ramasamy is 67, and will fall short by around four months to complete his second term.
Sources in TNAU said that there are two forerunners for the post- a vice-chancellor of a state university in western Tamil Nadu and the second a former director of the extension education of TNAU.
While attempts are being made to ensure that the new vice-chancellor is identified before Ramasamy's retirement, but in case of a delay, Ramasamy will handover charge to the university's registrar.
