Days after SC order, Stalin to meet VCs, Registrar of State-run Varsities on Apr 16

Chennai, Apr 14 (UNI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will hold
a meeting with Vice-Chancellors (V-Cs) and Registrars of all State-run
Universities on April 16 to further improving higher education in the state.
This is the first meeting to be chaired by Mr Stalin days after the Supreme
Court indicted Governor R N Ravi for withholding assent to 10 Bills adopted
in the State Assembly and in a historic judgement ordered that all the Bills
were deemed to have received his assent.
All the Ten Acts were notified in the Government Gazette on the basis of
the SC order.
For the first time in India, Tamil Nadu created a Legislative history by notifying
the 10 Acts in the Government Gazette without the assent of the Governor or the
President after the Supreme Court in a landmark verdict said the Bills were
deemed to have got the Governor's assent.
The Bills were adopted in the State Assembly and sent to the Governor for his
assent, who in turn forwarded to the President, but has not received the assent.
Following a petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against the inordinate
delay in giving assent, the Apex Court,in a historic judgment, while indicting the
Governor for the delay, said all the 10 Bills adopted in the Assembly were deemed
to have received the assent, using it powers under Article 142 of the Constitution.
The Apex Court assent and the Gazette notification has made it clear that the
Governor ceases to be the Chancellors of State-run Universities, a post which
would now be vested with the Chief Minister as per the provisions of the Bills,
besides giving him powers to appoint Vice-Chancellors.
It was in this backdrop, Mr Stalin will be chairing the meeting, to be held at the
State Secretariat, to discuss steps to improve and upgrade the quality of higher
education.
An official release here said the meeting will be held at the Namakkal Kavignar
Maaligai at the Secretariat complex on Wednesday evening.
Based on the outcome of the meeting, some new measures were expected in
the Minister's reply after the debate on the demand for grants for the Higher
Education Department in the State Assembly on April 24.
