NEHU Pro VC S Umdor asked to resign over administrative deadlock

• Four key NEHU bodies demand the resignation of Pro Vice Chancellor S Umdor, citing "administrative paralysis" and failure to restore normal functioning.
• The bodies expressed concern over resignations of the Registrar (in-charge) and Finance Officer (in-charge), allegedly due to pressure from the absent Vice Chancellor.
• Vice Chancellor Professor P S Shukla has been away from the Shillong campus for over a year following protests over alleged mismanagement and irregularities.
• NEHU faces complete administrative paralysis with no regular Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Finance Officer, or Controller of Examinations, severely affecting its operations.
• Shillong MP Ricky Syngkon recently sought the Centre’s intervention in Parliament regarding the prolonged leadership crisis at NEHU.

Why It Matters: NEHU's administrative deadlock jeopardizes its educational mission and stability.
