There seems no resolution to the issue of appointment of a Registrar at Telangana University in Nizamabad. Currently, there are two Registrars, one appointed by the Executive Council (EC), and the other by the Vice-Chancellor. This situation has caused a division among the students over extending support to one of them.
The EC’s choice was professor Yadagiri while Vice-Chancellor Ravinder Gupta named professor Kanakaiah. When both officials entered the Registrar’s office to join duty, there was an argument over who would occupy the chair.
The unfortunate situation has also split students as well as the support staff down the middle in terms of siding with one of the two Registrars. Interestingly, this happened even after Education Secretary Vakati Karuna issued a note to the university to honour the decision of the EC and stated that the Vice-Chancellor has to accept the EC’s decision.
