Make ‘one officer, one post’ applicable in Bihar varsities: Edu department to VCs In a letter to the vice-chancellors of all state universities, additional chief secretary Dipak Kumar Singh said, “It often comes to light during the review meetings that one person or official handles multiple administrative posts.
