Vice-Chancellors of T.N. State universities skip Governor’s meeting in Udhagamandalam
Vice-Chancellors from all Tamil Nadu State universities skipped the Vice-Chancellors’ meeting being chaired by Governor R.N. Ravi at Udhagamandalam on Friday (April 25, 2025).
The inauguration event at Raj Bhavan in Udhagamandalam in the Nilgiris was attended by Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar. Speaking at the conference, Governor Ravi said the Vice-Chancellors from State universities were warned by the State government not to attend the conference.
He alleged that while one Vice-Chancellor was currently detained at a police station, another received “a knock at his door late at night” from the Tamil Nadu police, warning him of dire consequences if he attended the conference. “I have spoken to them [both officials] and advised them to take care of their families,” said Mr. Ravi.
Some of the State universities have sent representatives to attend the event in place of the Vice-Chancellors.
