He acknowledges challenge over faculty vacancies, hopes to introduce hybrid learning innovations
Professor Yogesh Singh, currently Vice-Chancellor of Delhi Technological University, has been appointed as the new Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi. The university has not had a permanent V-C since Yogesh Tyagi was suspended in October last year.
In a phone interview with The Hindu soon after the announcement, Mr. Singh emphasised that he was a team player and would take all viewpoints on board. He acknowledged the challenge that almost half of DU’s faculty positions are vacant, and expressed hope of bringing in hybrid learning innovations that he has experimented with at DTU.
The appointment was made by the university’s Visitor, President Ram Nath Kovind, the Education Ministry said on Wednesday. He also appointed professor Neelima Gupta as the new Vice-Chancellor of Hari Singh Gour University at Sagar in Madhya Pradesh.
