The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry today said four out of five charges relating to financial and administrative illegalities and irregularities levelled against Viswa Bharati University Vice Chancellor have been established.
Sharing this information in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha, HRD Minister Smriti Irani also said that the President of India, as Visitor of the University, is the appointing authority of the Vice Chancellor.
"The reply of the Vice Chancellor, along with its examination by the ministry, was sent to the Visitor for appropriate decision in the matter. The Visitor has returned the file recently with the observation to get it legally examined once again," the minister added.
Sushanta Dattagupta, who is the Vice Chancellor of Viswa Bharati University, was appointed in 2011.
