At least 20 Vice-chancellors from universities across Maharashtra have demanded reopening of colleges. The VC's made demand in a video conference meeting organized on Friday (29th January) between the governor of Maharashtra and the VCs.

The meeting was held with a view to discuss the new academic calendar of the universities for 2020-21. During the meeting VC’s expressed willingness to restart colleges as early as February 1 if given permission. Further they also demanded to fill-up vacant statuary posts of universities.

Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has asked the Department of Higher and Technical Education to grant permission to universities to fill up all vacant statutory positions in universities, such as registrar, deans of faculty, and director, as early as possible.

Regarding reopening of colleges, the governor said,” At a time when the pandemic is under control, universities should explore the possibility of opening classes in shifts. Also, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has laid out the procedure for opening of the colleges.”
