Gujarat Confidential: Silence on Vasava?

MSU V-C takes charge

The MS University of Baroda finally saw its new Vice-Chancellor, eminent chemistry professor Bhalchandra M Bhanage, taking charge on Tuesday. He was welcomed by in-charge V-C Professor Dhanesh Patel and other university officials. Bhanage, in his statement after taking the V-C’s chair, said that he would strive to make the university an ace institution in research work. “I am basically a researcher and I will work towards improving research work at MSU… so that the professors at MSU find solutions to problems of the society… There should be a collaboration between the university and the industry to resolve problems. It will lead to employment generation. We will increase interaction with industries. I will also make sure that more patents come out of this university.” Bhanage takes over as the V-C following a massive controversy over the eligibility of his predecessor V K Shrivastava, who resigned in January this year following a litigation in the Gujarat High Court.
