On the state’s recommendation, Jagdeeo Dhankar on Thursday appointed additional director of agriculture (general) Sajal Ghosh as VC till the university gets a regular VC.
Trouble broke out between Nabanna and Raj Bhaban when the governor didn’t accept the name of BCKV professor Tapas Mondol, a former Trinamul Congress MP from Ranaghat, recommended for the post by the agriculture department.
Instead, Dhankar on 29 May gave a six-month extension to BCKV vice-chancellor Dr Dharani Dhar Patra, whose tenure was to end on 9 June.
A group of Trinamul Congress affiliated employees’ union at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) started conducting agitation to protest against the extension of service of the vice-chancellor for the next six-month period.
The employees under the banner of Karnachari Samsad squatted in front of the vice-chancellor’s office alleging that the governor has extended the service tenure of the VC without consulting the state government.
Even, the TMC affiliated teachers’ association WEBCUPA and a section of students also gheraoed the VC’s bungalow on the same issue.
Failing to bear the pressure from the Trinamul Congress affiliated Karmachari Samsad, the vice-chancellor, Dr Patra finally tendered his resignation from his post.
He sent his resignation letter to chancellor cum governor, Jagdeep Dhankar on Friday afternoon,
As a result, the university had to run without a VC for at least two days.
State agriculture minister Ashis Banerjee then made a fresh recommendation to Raj Bhavan by sending Ghosh’s name. “Taking a conspectus view of the matter as BCKV chancellor, I accord approval to the proposal of the agriculture department and appoint Sajal Ghosh to perform the duties of the vice-chancellor for six months or till the appointment of a regular VC,” the chancellor said.
