Calcutta Univ VC expresses inability to continue in post

Calcutta University Vice Chancellor Sugata Marjit has expressed his inability to continue in the post saying that his period of lien from his parent organisation is coming to an end.
Marjit has already written a letter to Governor K N Tripathi, also the chancellor of all state varsities, urging him not to consider his case for extending his term at Calcutta University which comes to an end in July.
"I am an RBI professor of industrial economics at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences and was on lien to CU. But I have to go back to my place because the period of lien is coming to and end," the economist said.

He was appointed as the interim VC last year after Professor Suranjan Das was transferred as Jadavpur University VC.
Marjit said he had already informed state education minister Partha Chatterjee about the situation.
"I have made it clear that I will have to join my earlier organisation as per the rules," he said.
Earlier in April, the VC was heckled by agitating students of Vivekananda College for Women who were demonstrating before the principal's office demanding that 95 students who had failed in test examination be allowed to appear in the final examination.
