The West Bengal Government has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to set up a search committee for shortlisting and appointing Vice-Chancellors in 13 State-run universities.
Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu told reporters in Kolkata on Friday that the State Government welcomed the apex court's decision and said and it would obey all its directives.
"We had all along maintained that a search committee has to be formed in every university after holding discussions with the State Government. We want such committees in every university as early as possible," Mr. Basu said.
