PUNE: EAC-PM member Sanjeev Sanyal was on Thursday removed as the chancellor of Pune-based Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics, an official of the Servants of India Society (SIS), which governs the institution, said.

Former Bombay High Court judge SC Dharmadhikari will replace Sanyal, as per the appointment letter issued by SII president Damodar Sahoo.

Sahoo cited the "downfall" of the institute's credentials as GIPE got 'B' grade in NAAC accreditation. It also said Sanyal as chancellor did not provide a "concrete plan of action" for the institute. "Hence we are of the view that we would appoint an able chancellor who would get involved into bringing the institute to its earlier reputation," Sahoo's letter stated.
