Around 12 academics, most of them close to ruling dispensation, have applied for post

- Sovi Vidyadharan @T'Puram

The state government's move to go ahead with the selection of a permanent Vice Chancellor in the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU), through a selection panel without the nominee of the governor (chancellor), is poised to open a fresh battlefront with the Raj Bhavan.

The government's hurried move to revive the VC appointment process is aimed at choosing an academic of its choice before the UGC Regulations 2025 – that curtails the government's role in the VC selection process – come into effect. It was during the heights of confrontation between the government and former Governor Arif Mohammed Khan that the search committee was constituted without his nominee, in September last year.
