After the appointment of an interim vice-chancellor for Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences turned controversial, health and medical education minister K Sudhakar said he has sought an appointment with the governor on the issue.
“The matter would have been discussed with the governor, but due to Covid it could not be done. I have written to the governor regarding this. I will discuss this issue in person after getting his appointment. The matter has been discussed with the chief minister and the suggestions given by the CM will also be brought to his notice,” he said.
The minister was speaking at the valedictory ceremony of silver jubilee celebrations of RGUHS on Monday. “RGUHS is India’s largest and prestigious health sciences university. Our government is very clear that a person of eminence, excellent reputation and track record should be appointed VC of this university,” he said.
Dr Jayakara SM, principal, AECS Maruthi College of Dental Sciences, was last week appointed the interim vice-chancellor. Usually, a registrar or a dean of a government college holds the interim post. This is the first time in the history of RGUHS that a private college principal will hold the post of the VC, albeit as an interim arrangement.
Jayakara’s appointment will be effective from June 15 till a VC is appointed or until further orders.
