This Tamil Nadu university Vice-Chancellor issue is honestly not small thing ah,because when top posts stay pending,whole higher education system starts feeling stuck . And now Higher Education Minister P . Viswanathan is saying government is getting ready to act once Supreme Court clears matter.
He spoke about this on Sunday during convocation ceremony at Srimad Andavan Arts and Science College in Tiruchi . case is currently before Supreme Court,and it is scheduled to be taken up on June 29 .
And basically,government side is saying they are waiting for ruling first . Once Supreme Court gives its decision,process for appointing Vice-Chancellors at various universities across Tamil Nadu will be started quickly.
Viswanathan also said Chief Minister,C . Joseph Vijay,is in consultation regarding next steps . That part matters because legal hurdles around these appointments have already created enough delay in state’s higher education sector.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- Supreme Court is scheduled to address case on June 29.
- Government says Vice-Chancellor appointments will begin after ruling.
- Minister promised transparency and no tolerance for corruption.
But what caught attention more is his comment about Governor . Viswanathan said current government does not want to be on collision course with Governor,and wants cordial relationship for smooth administration.
That is interesting because previous administration had many fights over state autonomy and Governor-related issues . So now tone is very different,more like “let us avoid daily war and get work done” type approach .
On Central funds also,Minister said government will move carefully . He said Chief Minister Vijay would speak with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Central Ministers so Tamil Nadu gets its due share of funds .
And tbh,this is where people will watch closely . Talking about transparent governance sounds good,but actual test will come in departments like Public Works,Highways,and Higher Education,where he said corruption will not be tolerated.
For now,it all depends on what Supreme Court says on June 29 . After that,we will know whether these appointments really move fast,or whether another round of legal and political waiting starts again…
