In Rajasthan, the Vice Chancellor of Universities will now be called Kulguru. The BJP leaders had demanded to replace him in the name of the vice -chancellor, saying that being a husband is wrong. After that the government introduced a bill to change the name in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly which has been passed in the assembly.
The ‘Methods of Universities (Amendment) Bills’ was passed in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Under this bill, the designation of the Vice Chancellor has been changed to ‘Kulguru’ and the name of ‘Pratikulguru’ in 32 government aided universities of the state. This change will only apply in Hindi language, while in English it will remain undone.
During the discussion on the Bill, Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie questioned the excess of outposts in the universities of the state. He said that out of 32 universities of Rajasthan, only four are the Vice Chancellor of the state, while the most vice -chancellors have been appointed from Uttar Pradesh. Leader of Opposition Julie gave an example of a medical university, saying that a non-doctor from Maharashtra has been appointed as Vice Chancellor, who is not suitable for this post. He also said that in many universities of the state, teachers are not getting salary on time and more than 4,000 posts are lying vacant.

Julie, taking a sarcasm at the policies of the government, said that only changing the name will not bring any major change, unless the universities will bring the rites of Vedic culture and Sanatan Dharma.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel has said that the opposition is looking for issues only to do politics. The aim of the BJP government is to fix the all -round development and deteriorated structure in the state.
At the same time, Independent MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati said that instead of keeping a vulrau, the tradition should be changed that the heavily briefcase is made the vice -chancellor. This work has been done under the rule of both parties.
