Kolkata, Aug. 27 -- Governor and university chancellor CV Ananda Bose has removed Prof Pabitra Chattopadhyay from the post of Vice-Chancellor of Gour Banga University in Malda, citing allegations of corruption and dereliction of duty.
According to Raj Bhavan sources, the decision followed the failure to organise the university's convocation scheduled for August 25.
The lapse came against the backdrop of repeated charges of financial irregularities, theft of official documents and answer scripts, and mismanagement in the university. Established about 15 years ago, Gour Banga University oversees 25 colleges across Malda and the two Dinajpur districts, serving thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
