Aizawl, Mar 22 : Two Mizors are among the seven candidates shortlisted for the post of vice-chancellor of Mizoram University (MZU) even as there is a mounting pressure from students' organisations to appoint a local to hold the varsity's top post.
Two Mizo professors, Professor Lianzela, presently Dean of School of Economics, Management and Information Sciences of Mizoram University and Prof R Lalthantluanga, Professor of Biochemistry, North Eastern Hills University (NEHU) and also former pro-VC of NEHU, are among the shortlisted candidates who will shortly meet the search committee.
Three candidates will be further shortlisted from which the President will pick one to be the Vice-Chancellor of Mizoram University.
Two biggest students’ organisations of Mizoram--Mizo Students’ Union and Mizo Zirlai Pawl--and influential organisations like Young Mizo Association, Mizoram Upa Pawl (senior citizens’ association) and Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (women organisation) have expressed their desires to have a qualified Mizo professor as the Vice-Chancellor of Mizoram University.
Representatives of the organisations met the search committee, comprising Prof N R Madhava Menon (chairman), Prof Atul Sharma (member) and Prof Sanjay Govind Dhande (member), here on March 14 on this issue.
