The extended term of University’s  officiating vice chancellor KK Yadav, IAS, secretary higher education, Punjab government has already ended on September 25,2024 and till date no official communication has been received by the university authorities on the appointment of its vice chancellor.

On the other hand the committee heard their problems and asked them to give their concerns in writing to the committee for its prompt resolution. The committee assured all the students and employees that their grievances would be redressed on the top priority.
