Centre and T.N. should work together to appoint V-Cs in the State: VIT chancellor
G. Viswanathan, Chancellor of VIT, urged the Centre and the Tamil Nadu government to collaborate on higher education matters, specifically the appointment of vice-chancellors at 17 universities in the state. During a felicitation event for Tamil poet and lyricist R. Vairamuthu in Vellore, Viswanathan advocated for cooperative dialogue models used in other democracies.
He emphasized that without appointing vice-chancellors in these universities, the state's high enrolment ratio in higher education would not guarantee quality education. Noting that Tamil Nadu had not received the Jnanpith Award in 24 years, Viswanathan highlighted Vairamuthu's achievements, including composing over 7,500 songs and poems.
The chancellor also praised Vairamuthu's translation efforts, noting that his works have been translated into multiple languages.
