On November 14 last year, the Ministry of Education constituted a two-member committee to inquire into the alleged mismanagement and administrative failures in NEHU.

The inquiry was launched following an indefinite hunger strike staged by members of NEHU Students Union (NEHUSU) and Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) NEHU unit demanding removal of the incumbent vice-chancellor Prof PS Shukla, registrar and deputy registrar of NEHU.
