K.S. Anil has been appointed the new Vice-Chancellor of the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU) at Pookode in Wayanad. Dr. Anil is a Professor, at the Department of Livestock Production Management, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, Thrissur.
His appointment follows the resignation of Dr. P.C. Saseendran, who had assumed charge as V-C of KVASU earlier this month. His resignation was accepted by the Governor’s on Monday.
Dr. Saseendran had stepped down from the position after Governor Arif Mohammed Khan cancelled the Vice-Chancellor’s contentious order to reinstate 33 students of the institution, who had been suspended in connection with the alleged murder of second-year veterinary student J.S. Sidharthan last month. The student was found hanging in the bathroom of the college hostel on February 18.
