Gorakhpur: The vice-chancellor of Siddharth University Kapilvastu, Prof. Surendra Dubey, sent a clarification to Governor Anandiben Patel on Monday regarding the query on the controversy over the appointment of education minister Satish Dwivedi’s brother Arun Dwivedi as associate professor of psychology under the economically weaker section (EWS) quota.
Governor Anandiben Patel, chancellor of all state universities, had sought a report on Sunday evening soon after she received a complaint from RTI activist Nutan Thakur in this regard.
Prof Dubey told TOI on Monday, “We have sent a report regarding the appointment of Arun Dwivedi to the honourable Governor today. The entire recruitment process was transparent and the interview was videographed. EWS certificate is issued by administration and if any irregularity is found, the appointment would be cancelled.”
