Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Tuesday set in motion the selection of vice-chancellors for University of Madras and Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa Fisheries University by convening the search panel meetings online.

On Monday, TOI reported that the selection of new Madras university V-C would be delayed as the search panel formed two months ago was yet to meet due to the lockdown.

“In the video conference, the governor-chancellor requested the search committees to strictly follow fair and transparent procedures and select the panel of most efficient and honest candidates,” a release from Raj Bhavan said. “The notification for the post of vicechancellor will be issued shortly by the search committees separately,” the release added.
