The appointment of a pro-vice-chancellor at Nagpur University in Maharashtra, India, is still pending, raising concerns about administrative delays within the institution. This situation follows the recent appointment of Manali Kshirsagar as vice-chancellor after a nearly two-year vacancy. The delay in finalizing the pro-VC's appointment is largely attributed to internal conflicts between two right-wing factions, each promoting different candidates. Currently, over 35 aspirants, including former statutory officers, college principals, and senior professors, are competing for the position, complicating the consensus needed for selection. Kshirsagar confirmed that a management council meeting was scheduled to discuss the appointment, but it did not occur due to unspecified issues. Additionally, the university is functioning without a full-time director for the Board of Examinations and Evaluations, as recent interviews yielded no suitable candidates. The ongoing vacancies in key administrative roles have raised alarms in academic circles regarding the university's decision-making pace and overall functioning.
