Mr. Thackeray held a video-conference with vice-chancellors of all non-agricultural universities in the State to discuss the issue of pending final year examinations. Technical and Higher Education Minister Uday Samant, Minister of State Prajakt Tanpure, chief secretary Ajoy Mehta and other senior officials also took part in the video conference. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had opposed such a move which led to Governore Bhagat Singh Koshyari getting involved and complaining to Mr. Thackeray. Mr. Samant later clarified that it was his personal opinion, and the State government had not reached any conclusion. Mr. Samant on Saturday said that the government is conducting meetings with vice-chancellors.
