O.Panneerselvam said that higher education is the source for the development of all sectors.
Former Chief Minister O.Panneerselvam has said in a statement:-
If Tamil Nadu wants to win and stand out on the world stage, higher education and professional education should be developed. Only if higher education and vocational education are developed in the state, new innovations, researches etc. will develop. High level of education can create the development of the country. Higher education is the source of development in all sectors.
Five universities in Tamil Nadu currently have vacancies for Vice-Chancellor posts. Vice-Chancellors for Madras University, Bharatiyar University, Madurai Kamarasar University and Tamil Nadu Teacher Education University have not been appointed for several months. The appointment of Vice-Chancellors continues to be delayed due to issues related to the appointment of a representative of the University Grants Committee on the search committee.
The Vice-Chancellor is the lifeblood of a university. A university without a Vice-Chancellor is a university without a head, which will seriously affect the progress of universities and the quality of education. I understand that a case is pending before the Supreme Court regarding the inclusion of a representative of the University Grants Commission in the search committee for appointing Vice-Chancellors of Universities.
Expediting this pending case in the Supreme Court; Considering the future of the students, I urge the Chief Minister to discuss with the Honorable Governor and immediately fill the currently vacant posts of Vice-Chancellor. It says so.
