PATNA: Governor-cum-chancellor Fagu Chauhan on Thursday appointed Prayagraj-based Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) University’s former vice-chancellor Rajendra Prasad as the new vice-chancellor of Magadh University.
A notification issued by Raj Bhavan late Thursday evening said the appointment has been made by the governor in consultation with chief minister Nitish Kumar who visited the Raj Bhavan in the afternoon.

The office of the vice-chancellor was lying vacant for nearly 10 months after Qamar Ahsan was made to resign by then chancellor in December last year. Its pro-VC K N Paswan was also axed subsequently. Veer Kunwar Singh University (VKSU) VC DP Tiwary had been officiating as the VC of this university till date.
Earlier, former governor Lalji Tandon had constituted a search committee for the appointment of VC of Magadh University and applications were also invited for the post. But, after the applicants’ interview, the search committee could not find any candidate suitable for appointment as VC. Hence, the chancellor had to order for re-advertisement of the post, said informed sources.
Fresh advertisements for the appointment of VCs of BRA Bihar (BRABU) and Magadh University (MU) and pro-VC of Magadh University were issued in the last week of June and considerable number of applications were received till July 15, the last date for the receipt of applications. The former chancellor had already constituted a search committee for the appointment of VC and pro-VC of Magadh University. Interviews for the appointment of the new incumbents by the duly constituted search committee were held recently and a panel of names recommended by it was submitted to the chancellor.
It is expected the appointment of its pro-VC will also be notified soon.
