Dr Trivedi is set to vacate the V-C's chair in June this year and Gujarat University has planned a befitting farewell. The varsity has invited principals of affiliated colleges and senate members to share their interactions with him in a few words.

These anecdotes will be put together in GU's in-house newsletter - 'Vidyavrutt'. As heard on the grapevine, this edition of the newsletter will be printed in colour unlike black and white newsprint every month.

As per information available, a letter has been issued to principals and senate members to write a piece on Dr Trivedi and his tenure as V-C at GU.

A principal of an affiliated college was amused to receive such a request from GU.

"I don't remember for which former V-C something of this sort was done. This is probably the first time V-C would boast of his achievements on completion of his tenure," said the principal.

"Interestingly, online positive responses about the V-C will be published. Those writing on negative aspects (of Dr Trivedi) will not find space in the newsletter," he added.
