Shillong, Apr 11: North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) pro vice-chancellor Prof Sherwin M Sungoh has tendered her resignation from the post and instead proposed to function as vice-chancellor (in-charge) of the university.
Pointing out the prevailing situation in NEHU and demand from student bodies, the Pro-VC stated in a letter to central authorities that it has been difficult for her to function as Pro-VC under extreme pressure.
“In the given circumstances stated above, I prefer to tender my resignation from the post of pro vice-chancellor and will function as the vice-chancellor (in-charge) by virtue of being the next senior most professor…,” she wrote.
Prof Sungoh also highlighted the problem faced since Prof Prabha Shankar Shukla has not physically assumed duty in the headquarters and the financial and administrative power delegated to her is too limited to cope up with the day-to-day function of the University.
“Admission of new batches of students will commence from next academic session, therefore, it is imperative to find out an amicable solution to the existing problems before it is too late,” she stated.
She also informed that the University is faced with pending court cases, affiliation and many other academic related matters.
