Prof Matcha appointed SVU Rector

Tirupati: Prof Matcha Bhaskar has been appointed as Rector of the Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) in place of Prof Janakiramaiah. It may be noted that a student union released an audio and alleged Janakiramaiah was corrupt. They accused Janakiramaiah of collecting money from private BEd colleges. SVU V-C Prof VVN Rajendra Prasad formed a high-level committee to probe into the allegations levelled against Rector.

On receiving the report, the V-C asked Janakiramaiah to tender resignation on Thursday morning. Immediately, he resigned for the Rector post. In his place, Matcha Bhaskar was appointed. Bhaskar had served as Rector a year ago when A Damodaram was V-C.

He became SVU Rector for the second time. Prof Bhaskar took charge as varsity Rector on Thursday afternoon. Varsity Registrar Prof Anuradha and student union leaders congratulated Matcha Bhaskar on his appointment.
