Nobel laureate Amartya Sen moved the Calcutta high court, appealing against a notice of the Visva-Bharati university that asked him to vacate 13 decimal of land at his Santiniketan residence by May 6.
Noble laureate Amartya Sen was appointed chancellor of the upcoming Nalanda University by the board of governors in a meeting in Patna on Thursday, officials said.
The central university issued a statement saying it is putting 'facts on record' and requests Sen to do what is required to be done to protect his self-esteem and Visva-Bharati's reputation.
Noble laureate economist Amartya Sen, the chancellor of Nalanda University in Bihar's Nalanda district, has questioned the interpretation of the upcoming university as another central university rather than an international institution.
