Anil Dattatraya Sahasrabudhe, director of the College of Engineering in Pune, is the new chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
Sahasrabudhe takes over from Shankar S Mantha, who demitted office early this year. Mantha had taken over in January 2012. The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) had recently invited application from renowned persons in the field of technical education for the post of AICTE chairman for a term of three years.
A mechanical engineer, Sahasrabudhe has 23 years of teaching experience. He is also a member of the committee, headed by higher education secretary Satyanarayan Mohanty, formed by MHRD to determine land requirement for central higher educational institutions. Confirming his appointment, Sahasrabudhe said he would take charge next month.
In Maharashtra, one in three seats of engineering and technology courses are likely to go vacant this year, too.
