Kolkata: The West Bengal government nominated a new vice-chancellor for Diamond Harbour Women's University (DHWU) on Friday, just hours after Chancellor and State Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar appointed another individual for the position who indicated "unwillingness" to accept it on personal reasons.
Following the resignation of Prof Anuradha Mukhopadhyay, the education department appointed Prof Soma Bandyopadhyay as the VC of DHWU.
Bandyopadhyay worked as the acting VC of Sanskrit College and University as well as the full-time VC of West Bengal University of Teachers' Training, Education Planning, and Administration (WBUTTEPA).
