The University Grants Commission has appointed Navin Sheth, vice-chancellor of Gujarat Technological University, as the member of a search committee to appoint the new vice-chancellor of Gujarat Vidyapith.
The development came after UGC rejected the appointment of former registrar Rajendra Khimani as the new VC of the varsity, which was founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920. The commission was of the view that his appointment had been made without the presence of UGC representative in the search committee formed by Vidyapith.
"The appointment was rejected as the search committee formation flouted UGC norms. The process of selecting a VC will be carried out again," said a source aware of the development.
The term of outgoing VC Anamik Shah, which was supposed to end in December, has been extended till the new vice-chancellor takes charge.
