Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJuly 29, 2021

The Meghalaya Confederation for Academic Welfare (MeCAW) on Thursday met the new Vice-Chancellor of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) Prof.Prabha Shankar Shukla.

The MeCAW expressed its concern over the serial anomalies and gross flouting of rules left by previous VC for the last six years.

The MeCAW expressed its shock over the scam in the CDD, which the CBI is currently investigating.

The MeCAW apprised the new VC Prof PS Shukla that without signatures of Prof. Henry Lamin and the Registrar Dr JK Nayak such scams in tendering, issuance of work order could not have happened.

The MeCAW also cautioned the new VC of not providing any position to these two tainted actors behind many anomalies and scams so that full enquiry into all such scams

could be completed in the interest of NEHU.

The MeCAW urged upon the newly appointed VC that for smooth functioning of the University and for uplifting it from its current low ranking, a legacy left by Srivastava’s failed regime, local aspirations need to be included.

In its memorandum submitted to Prof Shukla, the MeCAW asserted the need for quick appointment of a qualified local Pro-VC of Shillong campus to build up a bridge with the local community for advancement of academic interests of Meghalaya and the region.
