New Delhi: Delhi University Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh has been appointed to the top varsity post for a second term, becoming the first to achieve the feat.
“President of India re-appoints Professor Yogesh Singh as the Vice Chancellor of University of Delhi,” an Education Ministry official said.
In 2023, the central government resurrected a nearly decade-old proposal and approved an amendment to the statutes of Delhi University (DU), enabling the re-appointment of the vice chancellor.
Earlier, the Delhi University Act prohibited a second term for the vice chancellor via re-appointment.
Singh was appointed the DU vice chancellor in 2021.
