Banaras: Justice Girdhar Malviya is going to be the new Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). A BHU court meeting decided Malviya selection for the post on Monday.
However, 11 names including former Vice-Chancellor Professor Punjab Singh, YC Simadri, Prof. Murli Manohar Joshi and Kunwar Anant Narayan came in the race.
In 2016, a four-member team led by Justice Malviya was appointed by the center to frame Ganga Act. His suggestions were later incorporated in the draft finalised by the government.
