Bengaluru: Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot issued an order by appointing Jayakara SM as the new Vice Chancellor of Bangalore University (BU), on Monday. He was appointed for a period of four years with effect from the date of assumption of office or until he reaches the age of 67 years, whichever is earlier.

Prior to this, Jayakara was the principal and HOD of Prosthodontics at Maruthi College of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, Bengaluru which makes him the second person to assume the post from a medical background to head the general/traditional university.

Before him, N Prabhudeva, the former director of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, was appointed as head of the Bangalore University.

Jayakara’s name was suggested by the search committee for the post of VC at Rajiv Gandhi University (RGUHS) earlier, but the Governor had chosen M K Ramesh for the post.
