It was noted that Pandit had skipped the conference of Vice-Chancellors of Central Universities without formal approval, they said.
There was no immediate response from the JNU Vice-Chancellor on the issue.
"Her absence was viewed seriously. In such circumstances, Vice-Chancellors are required to take prior approval. There was a conference at JNU coinciding with the Vice-Chancellors' conference. But it should have been kept in mind that the invite for this conference was extended much in advance," a source said.

Why Maharashtra BJP has opened arms to take back a 90-yr-old leader, barbs and all
Senior leader Annasaheb Dange's return to the BJP after two decades has given the Maharashtra unit a big boost, with leaders saying he could guide the organisation. The 90-year-old, who had left the BJP in 2002 after complaining of being 'sidelined' within the party, is part of an older generation of party leaders with a strong connection to the ground, having worked with the Jana Sangh and then built the party. His compatriots talk of him cycling several miles every day to reach out to people and recruit them. In the 80s, when the BJP was just growing, party ideologue Vasantrao Bhagwat conceptualised the MADHAV strategy – acronym in Marathi for the Mali, Dhangar and Vanjari OBC communities – to create a base for the organisation. The Congress was virtually unchallenged in Maharashtra till then, with its firm support base among the Marathas, Dalits and tribals. However, soon, the MADHAV framework paid off. Along with Gopinath Munde, Suryabhan Wahadne, N S Pharande, Dange took centre stage in state politics and spread the BJP's message. It helped that all these leaders were from OBC communities, with Dhange belonging to the Dhangar community himself. The BJP came to power in Maharashtra for the first time in 1995-1999 in alliance with the Shiv Sena. Dange was made Cabinet minister and allocated the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj ministries. In the 1999 Assembly polls, the Sena-BJP alliance lost, and a Congress-NCP government led by Vilasrao Deshmukh came to power. Things within the BJP soured sometime in the early 2000s for Dange, when he was denied an MLC ticket and was not accommodated in any other post. He alleged then that this was due to centralisation of power in Munde and Mahajan's hands. In 2002, Dange left the BJP and, two years later, floated an outfit called the Lokrajya Party. However, it failed to have any presence in the state. Dange joined the NCP in 2011 and was made NCP vice-president. When the NCP split into two factions in 2023, Dange remained with Sharad Pawar. But that did not amount to a larger political role and Dange largely remained on the sidelines. Sources said Pawar was not inclined to give Dange a key position as he felt the leader was losing his relevance. The NCP (SP) has been struggling to find its footing, and the BJP has been keeping its doors open for everyone including the old guard. This made Dange's return to the BJP smooth. A senior BJP functionary said, 'At this stage of his life, Dange is not seeking any political post in the party or government. He already has many educational institutions including medical, engineering colleges in Sangli district.' The BJP believes that Dange's return would also send out a positive signal to the Dhangar community, which is a sizeable population in at least 40 Assembly constituencies located in West and North Maharashtra and in Vidarbha. Commenting on his return, Dange said Wednesday, 'I feel fortunate to return.' However, his outspoken nature was still on display as he joined the BJP in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Recalling the circumstances that led to his resignation, Dange said: 'Back then, someone asked Atal Bihari Vajpayee who would be his political successor. In response Vajpayee named Pramod Mahajan among other leaders. Mahajan thought that if he were to assume an important role at the Centre, his brother-in-law Munde should become CM of Maharashtra. After that, I started getting secondary treatment in the party.' He said then Sena supremo Bal Thackeray was also 'fond' of Mahajan. ' A section within the BJP feared my rise due to this too.' Fadnavis quickly rebuffed this, and said it was 'just a case of misunderstanding'. 'We are glad to have a senior leader like Dange in the party. He made a huge contribution towards the growth of the party. He left due to some misunderstanding. Now, we seek his blessings and guidance. In a way, we have come to him and not vice-versa.' A senior BJP leader said that the reality of the '90s BJP was entirely different. 'The role of Pramod Mahajan and Gopinath Munde cannot be overlooked. While Mahajan was a strategist, Munde was a mass leader. Being top leaders they took centre stage. All those whose aspirations were not met attacked them.'

Interference won't work, innovation will: Fadnavis
PUNE : Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said that if local 'dadagiri' and interference continue, Pune would lose its leadership role in the industrial sector. He reminded Punekars that Sambhajinagar is already emerging as the new EV capital and in all likelihood will go ahead of Pune. Even other cities are catching up, he said, and, hence, Pune should now concentrate on innovative hubs to stay ahead in the race. Interference won't work, innovation will: Fadnavis Fadnavis was in the city to sign a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Niti Aayog for Pune Metropolitan Region Growth Hub. Pune is the fifth growth hub in the country. While giving his speech, the chief minister said, 'A big bottleneck of Pune's industrial development is 'local dadagiri' - the interference in the industries by local leaders and goons. They are the ones determining terms about manpower, raw material and others. This is affecting development.' Fadnavis said that this can be achieved only if the socio-political system for industries undergoes change. 'We cannot ask them to work under pressure. Pune has a lot of potential but other centres like Sambhajinagar and Nagpur are fast emerging. Industries are going there even though Pune's biggest capital is manpower and innovation. Hence, the city should concentrate on innovation. Sambhajinagar is the leading EV capital and very soon, it will cross Pune,' he added. Niti Aayog's chief executive officer V R Subramanyham spoke about Pune's advantages, potential, and the weak points it needs to tackle to become a world-class city. 'The central government has already identified and started work for four economic growth hubs and the project implementations have started. Now, we are going to declare five more economic growth hubs, including Pune and Katak. Pune is leading in manufacturing, IT, automobile and education but there are many more sectors which have a lot of potential. For example, agri processing and urban tourism.' He also touched on poor public transport, road network, less open spaces, and traffic issues, calling them hindrances to Pune's growth. Earlier, the chief minister had announced with regard to infrastructure that his government is planning a new Airport Road and a Ring Road. 'It would create more positive impact for the city. Earlier, land and capital used to attract industries but nowadays, industries are going where skilled manpower is available,' he said. Fadnavis also said that to meet global standards, a place need to have ease of business and hassle-free policies. 'Government needs to change its mindset and approve the required permissions within a timeframe. Execution of project on time is important, otherwise the projects become generation projects which keep on progressing but with no output,' he added.
