On the Direction of the Manipur High Court, former Chief Secretary of the state Jarnail Singh had been appointed as Administrator of the University to act in the capacity of Vice Chancellor for time being and has been continuing till today. For reason best known to the authority UGC had stop releasing fund and the University is left with no choice but to take loan from State Bank of India.
As per source, a sum of rupees one crore (Rs. 1 Crore) was borrowed from the State Bank of India and the amount transferred to the University bank account at Bank of Baroda has been sanction for utilization by the Administrator on August 8. The sum of rupees one crore is being borrowed on the ground that the amount will be reimbursed after UGC releases fund for the University.
