New Delhi: Ministry of Human Resource and Development (HRD) is believed to have offered the post of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) vice chancellor to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, but he has put some conditions before accepting the coveted post.
It is learnt that HRD Minister Smriti Irani spoke to Dr Swamy about the offer. However, there was no official communication from the Ministry.
It also remained unclear what riders the BJP leader has placed before the Ministry for accepting the offer.
Interestingly, the development comes even before the Union Ministry is to finalise the search-cum-selection committee for selecting the new vice chancellor.
The incumbent vice chancellor SK Sopory is set to retire in January next year.
As per the rules, a panel of names selected by the committee is sent to the President (who is Visitor of the central varsities) by the HRD Ministry before the announcement of the new vice chancellor.
