Kerala Leaders Discuss University Vice-Chancellors' Appointment

Kerala ministers P Rajeev and R Bindhu met with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Sunday to address the ongoing deadlock regarding the appointment of vice-chancellors in state universities.

This significant meeting, held at the Raj Bhavan, comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's directive urging both the state government and the Governor to find a resolution for the vice-chancellors' appointments. The Governor serves as the chancellor for these institutions.

Speaking to reporters post-meeting, Minister Rajeev stressed that the conversations between the state government and the Chancellor had commenced before the court's ruling, which now lends them greater legitimacy. The dialogue is expected to continue until a conclusion is reached.
