Bijoy Nandan, who assumed charge as the Vice-Chancellor of Kannur University, addressing the challenges ahead, expressed his commitment to uplift the university with the support of all stakeholders.
Speaking to The Hindu, Prof. Nandan said the unexpected call from the Governor and Chancellor Arif Mohammed Khan on Thursday night took him by surprise.
“It was rather shocking, as I was not expecting such a call. I was busy preparing ‘Next Vision’ documents for the Cusat Vice-Chancellor. The documents were meant to be submitted to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who will arrive as part of the Nava Kerala Sadas,” he said.
