The additional charge will remain in effect until a regular AICTE chairman is appointed or until further orders, the education ministry said.
Yogesh Singh, vice chancellor of University of Delhi, has been given the additional charge of chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), as per an official statement by the Ministry of Education (MoE).
The additional charge will remain in effect until a regular AICTE chairman is appointed or until further order, the ministry said. The post of the AICTE chairman was vacant after TG Sitharam's tenure ended on December 20, following which he was relieved of his duties.
“Prof. Yogesh Singh is a renowned academician with excellent administrative capabilities, who has been the Vice-Chancellor of University of Delhi since October 2021. He has also served as the chairperson of the National Council for Teacher Education,” the official statement reads.
