Retired JNU professor Anand Kumar was unanimously elected as the president of the Society for Communal Harmony, an NGO, to fill the post left vacant by the passing away of veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar last month, the organisation said Friday.
Kumar (67), a well known activist academician, fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla, former president of the Federation of Central Universities Teacher's Association and national president of the Indian Sociological Society has held several high posts in the academic field.
The Society for Communal Harmony has had six presidents in the past, namely Dr B N Pande, P N Haksar, Sadiq Ali, Rabi Ray, Somnath Chatterjee and Kuldip Nayar.
