NEW DELHI: The North Eastern Hill University is without a fullfledged Vice Chancellor since June, 2013 and a definite date cannot as yet be given to fill up the post, HRD Minister Smriti Irani said on Monday.
“There are 41 Central Universities under the purview of Ministry of Human Resource Development out of which ten have no VC including NEHU”, Irani said in a written reply in Rajya Sabha.
The normal academic as well as administrative activities in NEHU is suffering  due to absence of a permanent Vice-Chancellor for last two years , resulting in teachers as well as the student community complaining that it was  one glaring example of how a premier institution in the region has been neglected by the Centre.
Normal functioning of NEHU has come to a standstill because the acting VC is not entitled to perform various statutory duties.
