NEHU appoints new Pro VC for Shillong Campus  

VC delegates Pro VC Prof Sherwin May Sungoh specific admin, financial, academic responsibilities  

Shillong, Mar 25: In another twist to the NEHU (North Eastern Hill University) imbroglio, Prof Sherwin May Sungoh has been appointed as the pro vice-chancellor of Shillong campus of the central university, as per a resolution adopted last year.

The appointment was in pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Executive Council (EC) in its 85th Emergent Executive Council meeting held on November 14, 2024, according to an official statement.

Prof Sungoh officially assumed charge as Pro VC with effect from 21 March 2025 and reported the joining to vice-chancellor Prof Prabha Shankar Shukla, the NEHU statement said.

As per norms, the pro VC assists the VC in the overall administration, academic affairs, and financial functioning of the university.

The VC also delegated specific administrative, financial, and academic responsibilities to Prof Sungoh to “facilitate the effective governance of the university”.

Her appointment as Pro VC bears significance in view of the unrelenting demand for the VC’s removal raised from several quarters, prompting him to allegedly operating remotely for weeks together.

“Prof SM Sungoh is a distinguished academician and professor in the Department of Education at NEHU, Shillong Campus. She has contributed significantly to the academic growth of NEHU in the past several decades… Her expertise in education will greatly benefit the university in her new role,” the NEHU statement said.
