Sangita Srivastava handed second term as Allahabad University vice-chancellor

Sangita Srivastava has been appointed to a second term as vice-chancellor of Allahabad University, marking a significant moment in the institution's recent history.

She is only the second permanent vice-chancellor to complete a full term at the university since it was granted central university status in 2005, underscoring the relative rarity of such continuity in the post.

Her reappointment has drawn mixed reactions, with experts divided over the decision. While supporters point to the value of administrative continuity, critics have raised reservations about the appointment.
