MUMBAI: Suhas Pednekar, principal of Ramnarain Ruia College (autonomous), Matunga, was announced as the new vice-chancellor of Mumbai University. The Governor and Chancellor of state universities in Maharashtra, Ch Vidyasagar Rao, announced Pednekar's name in an official mail, from among the five shortlisted candidates.
He succeeds Sanjay Deshmukh, who was removed from the post of Vice Chancellor of the University on October 24, 2017. Devanand Shinde, Vice Chancellor of Shivaji University, Kolhapur was holding the additional charge of the post of Vice Chancellor since then. The two-month hunt for the controversial VC post, came to an end with Pednekar's selection over the other contenders, including Pramod Yeole, pro-vice-chancellor of Nagpur University. The announcement was delayed for over two weeks, after the governor's interaction.
Pednekar, 60, has been the principal of one of the city's leading colleges for several years. He has has guided 15 PhD and 10 postgraduate students in his academic career. He has 43 research papers in peer reviewed national and international journals and one patent to his credit. Though Pednekar has not held any administrative posts in Mumbai University, the principal's position in an affiliated college and his understanding of the problems faced by students and colleges, could work to his advantage.
