While Kallol Paul has been appointed as the Vice Chancellor of Sadhu Ram Chand Murmu University in Jhargram, Asutosh Ghosh has been appointed as the Vice Chancellor of Rani Rashmoni Green University Tarakeswar, Hoogly and the Vice Chancellor of Harichand Guruchand University.

Earlier this weekend, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched an attack on Governor CV Ananda Bose over the allegations of sexual harassment against him and said she would not visit Raj Bhavan and sit with him anymore, as "sitting with someone who has committed such misdeeds is a sin".
Addressing a poll rally in Howrah, Banerjee said, "If I am now called to the Raj Bhavan, I will not go... If the Governor wants to speak to me, he can call me on the road, and I will meet him there, After hearing about your misdeeds, sitting with you is a sin."
Responding to the Governor's 'didigiri' remark, the West Bengal Chief Minister said, "The governor said 'didigiri' (high-handedness) will not be tolerated... but Governor, you should resign first. Who are you to torture women?"
Earlier this week, the governor claimed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee practices "dirty politics" and warned that he would not accept her "Didigiri".
Mamata Banerjee also accused the governor of showing 'edited' CCTV footage of the alleged molestation allegation incident to prove his innocence."Yesterday, the governor called the press and showed an edited video. I have the entire footage. I have got another video," she said.
On Thursday, West Bengal Governor, CV Ananda Bose launched a new programme in which any citizen in the state, except the Chief Minister and the state police, can see the CCTV footage of the incident if they send an email to the Governor or call at the Raj Bhavan.
