Tripura University is a central university, the main public government university of Tripura, India.[1]

History

Higher education in Tripura has its beginning with

CU. No postgraduate college existed in Tripura, until in 1967 the University Grants Commission (UGC) sanctioned a post-graduate wing of CU, named Calcutta University Post graduate Centre (CUPGC), established in 1985. In 1987 Tripura University was established through the Tripura University Act, on the grounds of CUPGC.[2]

In 2007 Tripura University was elevated to a

vice-chancellor (VC).[4] Saha was followed by Anjan Kumar Ghosh,[5] followed by Vijaykumar Laxmikantrao Dharurkar who was appointed the third VC in July 2018.[6] In September 2019, Dharurkar resigned from his position under corruption allegations[7] and replaced with acting VC Sangram Sinha.[8] Sinha was replaced with acting VC Mahesh Kumar Singh in January 2020,[9] who filled up the position until August 2020, when Ganga Prasad Prasain was appointed VC.[10]
