Prime Minister Modi is the Chancellor of the Visva Bharati University. When asked about similar changes aimed by Tamil Nadu lawmaker, BJP MLA Vanathi Srinivasan said, "PM Modi was made the Chancellor for a special purpose by a special act. What's the need in Tamil Nadu when the Governor appoints vice chancellors according to norms?". Tamil Nadu assembly today unanimously passed the 10 bills that were cleared but returned by Governor RN Ravi. While 2 bills each were adopted by the House in 2020 and 2023, six others were passed last year. The bills aim to clip the powers of the Governor by elevating vice-chancellors of state universities to the position of chancellor.
