Dr Rajendra Prasad Dhakal appointed as first Vice-Chancellor of Darjeeling Hills University

— Governor West Bengal Jagdeep Dhankhar (@jdhankhar1) December 19, 2020

In his tweet the Governor wrote, “Dr. Rajendra Prasad Dhakal, Principal, Kalimpong College, is appointed as first Vice Chancellor of the Darjeeling Hills University, for a period of four years or till he attains the age of sixty-five years, under section 64(4) of Darjeeling Hills University Act, 2018.”

It is to be noted, a year ago the Governor gave assent to a bill to rename Greenfield University as the Darjeeling Hills University. The change was effected keeping in view the demand from local people to alter the name of the institute.
