Vulnerable Vice Chancellor

Description

Govind was from a very humble family background of rural India with all hurdles of rural life in his path of evolution. But he was moving toward the unknown destination. He could get the education in the prominent institutions, he could have the opportunity to serve the premier educational institutions, and he had the opportunity to work with leading academicians in his subject in the world. He was very much satisfied with what nature has given to him, a loving family, respectful living and academic accomplishments. The author was well aware of Govind story. One day one of his respected colleagues asked him to write all the happenings in the story of Govind. This may illustrate the inside story of working of university education system and state universities in particular. This may be the fine academic contribution of a researcher teacher and may be helpful in future reorganization of university education. The author was reluctant for his own reasons but it was destined for him to narrate this story. It was the time of Covid-19, he was not going to university to supervise the research work of his PhD students. He had to stay at home for most of the time. One day his wife advised him that you take few hours for yourself, sit on your working desk and do write the story of Govind as suggested by your respected colleague. This will keep you intellectually involved and relaxed. It will be satisfying at the end that you have written your concerns about university education. The author started writing what Govind has narrated to him and what he could recollect through his memory. He tried honestly to put all that in words with prejudice to none. He believes that truth pervades.
