IP University VC gets additional charge of DPSRU

Monday, 19 February 2024 | PTI | New Delhi

Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has assigned Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University Vice-Chancellor Mahesh Verma the additional charge of the Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University (DPSRU), according to an official order.   The announcement came after Raj Niwas officials said Saxena had ordered the removal of DPSRU Vice-Chancellor Ramesh Goyal in connection with an alleged scam in recruiting faculty members at the university during 2017-2019.       They said Saxena has also approved the removal of Professor Harvinder Popli, the university’s registrar, and written to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for a probe by an external agency into the alleged scam.

“The Chancellor, DPSRU/Lt. Governor, Delhi, is pleased to assign the additional charge of the post of Vice Chancellor of Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University (DPSRU) to Prof. Mahesh Verma, Vice Chancellor, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) with immediate effect till regular Vice Chancellor of DPSRU is appointed,” the order issued by the Delhi government on Saturday read.

“No extra remuneration will be paid to Prof. Mahesh Verma for this additional assignment,” it added.  

The LG, who is the chancellor of the DPSRU, has given his nod to filing an FIR against Goyal and six other officers named in a report by the three-member enquiry committee for their alleged involvement.
