CUEO calls for Governor's intervention to address KTU impasse; demands V-C appointment from government panel
In a letter signed by CUEO general secretary Harilal, the organisation blamed Vice-Chancellor in-charge K. Sivaprasad for pushing the university into an administrative and financial crisis. The absence of key officials, including the Registrar, Controller of Examinations and Pro Vice-Chancellor, has crippled routine operations and decision-making processes.
Besides, the Vice-Chancellor has not convened crucial meetings of statutory bodies such as the Syndicate. This, the organisation alleged, has delayed the approval of the Budget for the 2025–26 financial year, resulting in the suspension of pension distribution to retired staff, among other disruptions.
CUEO also accused Dr. Sivaprasad of adopting unilateral decisions, including reinstating an employee who was involved in the alleged misappropriation of Provident Fund.
Under such circumstances, immediate steps must be taken to remove the Vice-Chancellor and appoint someone from the panel submitted by the State government in accordance with the Kerala High Court verdict, the organisation urged the Governor.

New Education Policy First Attempt To Decolonise India's Education System: Kerala Governor
Kochi: Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Sunday said that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is the first serious attempt to decolonise the country's education system. Arlekar said that the country was moving forward with a "colonial thought" till now. "Our whole thinking was changed by the earlier education system. We did not even realise when it entered our family lives. We are now attempting to come out of that colonisation," he said, and urged everyone to be part of the change in the education sector. The Governor, speaking at the national education conference, 'Gyan Sabha', organised by the RSS-linked Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas in Kochi, said that the education policy brought by the Narendra Modi government was "different from what has been taught to us for all these years". He said that India was 'Vishwa Guru' when it attained independence and even now. "But we were not able to assert it back then. When we became independent, it was only political freedom," he said, adding that Bharat could again become the 'Vishwa Guru' if the new education policy is accepted. "The question is whether you want to be a part of the change," he said. Addressing the gathering, which included Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, Arlekar also said that Viksit Bharat was not just an economic concept but "a wholesome development of the entire society and not just a particular section of it".
