Visva-Bharati, which had been functioning without a full-time registrar for six years, has recently appointed retired Army Colonel Ashis Agarwal to the post.
Agarwal took over from officiating registrar Ashok Kumar Mahato earlier in the week, the university said in a notification.
A senior faculty member said that Dr D Gunasekaran was the last full-time registrar of Visva-Bharati. He had stepped down on August 31, 2015 to join as registrar of IIT-Bhubaneswar.
