Hello
The Governor had earlier expressed his displeasure on the State’s move to bring an ordinance curbing the Chancellor's power in the appointment of the University Vice-Chancellor.
Even before the Govt came up with the ordinance curtailing his powers in the VC appointment, Khan made a swift move and constituted a search committee to appoint the Kerala University VC.
VC Dr Gopinath Ravindran has been asked to file an explanation immediately as to the allegation that rules were flouted for the appointment of Dr Priya Varghese as associate professor in the Department of Malayalam.
Governor Khan has exercised his powers to constitute a search committee for the appointment for Kerala University's next VC.
The Governor challenged Rajesh's argument that the present atmosphere in the country has not been conducive for debates.
An ordinance is a law that is promulgated by the governor when the House is not in session. Incidentally, the Assembly had its sitting for 61 days last year, the highest in the past 15 years.
According to officials at Raj Bhavan, the govt is reluctant to reveal details because many of the personal staff lack the required educational qualification.
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan and Governor Arif Mohammed Khan greeted the people on the eve of the festival.
The Governor’s letter to the Union Railway Minister was after Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the same, on July 13, 2021.
Sources have said the party is weighing options considering domestic politics and international diplomacy in mind.
